Re: Gas Prices
said by Phugg  :2.70 ?? where the hell can I get that price ?? I just filled up the truck, 2 5 gallon containers (for the weekend of fun, 5 dirtbikes and 6 quads) and paid $3.51 and thought that was great. Now on the price adjustments , look at YOUR own comapny and see if they have raised prices too.. I bet they have. Have you been to the grocery store lately ? What about your fast food ? Ya see the trend ? Mc D's used to have almost all "value meals" for under $5.50 Now the cheapest is $5.99 ... Thats rougly a %10 increase , yet cable is only going up near 4% California gas is always more expensive than most other places around the country. Remember, we have to pay for the incredibly competent state government and air police. |

| Yup it was worse when I lived in Concord CA , we where less than 10 miles from the major refineries (Martinez) and paid the highest prices in the state/country Yet we had almost NO transportation costs. That said, going up through Mi Wuk/ Twain Harte it was still almost $4/gal .. again thats up in the mountains though. |

I'm here in Hercules... 8 miles from Chevron, ~2 miles from Unocal in Rodeo, and about 20 miles from Shell.
$3.50 is about the going price. YAY!
Good thing I don't drive...

Yup ... that California special blend
We didn't run out like some of the south did after the hurricane hit Galveston/Houston, but we always pay at least $0.25 to $0.50/gallon more out here.

They need to invent a 50 state blend of gasoline to further bring down prices, or at least 25 state blend. |

Stockton, CA.
Just saw the first $2.99 in years around here-at the station at the end of my street.
Guess where I'll be dropping $20 in at on Monday on the way to work? Everyone else near the freeway is still at least $3.09 to $3.15. Be interesting to see on Monday if they have fallen down to the same level.
The fuel truck was parked there yesterday when I left though, and the new price was up when I came back, so he must have got a real good rate on that delivery to drop down 7 cents. |
