$4.93 a gallon in West LA. That's for regular; hi-test (premium for you youngsters) is $5.33. They jump in 20-cent increments between regular-midgrade-premium, not 10-cent increments.

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Just saw gas go up at the Sunoco in Seabrook to $3.759/gal, and Diesel is $4.359/gal.  Granted, they're on the high side, but not by that much.  Gas Buddy app is getting one hell of a workout.

Oh, and lots of stations are now going back to the extra 5-10 cents per gallon if you use credit versus cash/debit.

I got gas in the Tahoe about an hour and a half ago and I didn't look to see what it was a gallon..I was needing chocolate too much as it was.. :(     (my stress level is about at max  :panic:  )

All I know is I put in $45 and it was just barely past half a tank.

MF'er Obama.  :censored:


Oh...and the reason I didn't put more in? I was using a debit card and it cut me off at that much.  :???:  It must be all they(Pilot) are allowing anyone to put on a debit card, I know it had nothing to do with the balance in my checking account.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Heating oil at $3.80/gal here, and I don't know if I can afford to fill the tank at the end of the season...and I don't know if I can afford NOT to fill the tank at the end of the season.

FML.  About the only good thing I can say is that this winter was so mild we may get away with using "only" 400 or so gallons.  God help us when heating oil pushes $5/gal and we have a ball-shrinking cold winter (think -20 and the like.)

Heating oil used so far this year....49 gallons just before Christmas and 87 gallons on Febuary 28....been fairly warm since then so maybe 30 gallons will fill the tank at the end of heating season.

Went up 10 cents per gal on prem. in the last couple of days. Repubs should hang those high prices around Obama and the Democrats necks in the upcoming election. Those jerks wants high gas prices.
