Just filled up....$3.59/9....I can remember when $3.59 would have been a fillup.

So do I......but you could also buy a postage stamp for $.03 at the same time, a St. Louis Cardinals Sunday double-header would cost you a quarter, and you got a streetcar pass for free along with it.......

Good thing I'm holding off on buying the new truck for a bit.  Filled up the Jeep today and that alone was $65.

The F-150's have a 36 gallon tank.  $4/gal X 36 gallons = $Holyshit.

I'm guessing he doesn't have to worry about filling his tank or paying his mortgage.

Meanwhile, most of the rest of us are getting up an hour early to carpool and not getting home until 12-14 hours later.  God help us if one of the kids gets sick or hurt and we need to head home or to school during the day.

$3.90 here now.  Even the "cheap" stuff is running $3.85.  I'm still seeing $4.25 by Memorial Day.

Here is another reason why our gas prices are going up.....

Refined out of existance

Half the refining capacity on the populous US east coast is set to disappear. Sunoco has pulled the plug on two refineries already and warns that another in Philadelphia will close in July if no buyer steps forward. ConocoPhillips is trying to sell a refinery in Pennsylvania, idle since last year. On May 1, it will spin off its refining business. More than 3m barrels of daily refinery capacity have closed in western countries, since the financial crisis, says the International Energy Agency, the west’s oil watchdog. Emerging economies have meanwhile added 4.2m b/d in capacity, with another 1.8m b/d coming this year. “It’s really a tale of two markets,” says Toril Bosoni, IEA senior oil analyst. “You have very contrasting pictures for economic growth and demand, and refining is reflecting what’s going on elsewhere.”

Don't forget Valero is also trying to sell off their refineries, if they haven't already.

The reason?  They're money-losers.

$3.39.9 in Columbia, MO

This is not good. When gas prices come down -- dramatically as they have over the past couple of weeks -- the Magic Negro begins to look good to a lot of sheeple.
