Calif. Gas Prices Now Highest In Nation « CBS Los Angeles
I fill up my vette with premium and its already over $4 gal. What are you guys paying around your area of the country?

I could tell you, but by the time I hit the 'post reply' button, it will be higher.

anyhow, I had to drop like $59 to fill up my TDi VW (diesel-$4.19). When I first got that thing last year, it only took $38-$40 to fill up. I topped off the C6 a few days ago, but I don't really drive it too much- maybe once a week and that's only because the C4 is down.

Paid $3.40 for regular today for the DD. The good stuff was $3.60. :shots: :shots: :shots:

$3.38 for regular yesterday. I will say that I work in the oil & gas industry and my companies stock tends goes up and down with the price of gas. It's bad for the nation but good for my 401K.:hide:

I got to tell you that the story is true. I only use Chevron, Mobil or Exxon. I dont care if Gas plus or Valero gas is 20 cents cheaper. I can not afford a ping at high RPMS. I guess if you cruise at 2,000 RPMS it would be ok.

Yesterday, I drove to Nevada and Arizona and the Chevron in Laughlin, NV was $3.69 for regular. It was even cheaper in AZ. I dont know the price of gas today. I know I made it home about an hour ago, the gauge is marking empty but I know I have 4 gallons left. I got to adjust the floating device.

This damn state, I should consider moving to NV, AZ or Texas. I saw a C4 in NV with the Doug Rippie stroker engine and long tubes. He has no issues with LTs there.

7 years ago we drove to Arkansas. At the time I think gas was around $1.90 here. It went down 10c per state- to a low of $1.3x in Arky.

California has a 37.5c a gallon tax, plus sales tax (.32 if gas is 3.50 gallon) so we're going to be higher than most states...always.

oh, and that Chevron is always higher than most stations. We always crossed over to Bullhead to gas up the boat/truck for the drive home.

Yesterday, Regular was $3.49 and 92 Premiem was $ 3.72...WW

$1.23/L here yesterday for Premium. That's touching the $5.00/G mark. Ridiculous, and not a good time with a fragile economy. :confused5:

But, you are losing a piece of that 401K on the offset that everything else you are buying now is incresing in price due to the petroleum market. So, are you really making that nice return or your 401K as you thought you were?

And just for an FYI: It's $3.34 here in Little Rock.

Just drove by the gas station 1/2 mile from my house and premium is at $4.08 today.

reg is 3.27, 91 octane is about 3.57 or so. there's one company that tries to fix prices here so it will fluctuate almost daily, even when things are stable.

I went down to Costco Thursday and regular was $3.71. I went to a Knife Show in Pasadena Saturday and regular was $4.09 there.:ack:

I was glad I bought that Honda Fit Sport a while back during the last oil crisis :D

Larry, what MPG you get with the Fit?

I get about 24 in town and about 36 on the highway. But, since it has a sport mode, Steering Wheel-Mounted Paddle Shifters, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control, I probably would get better gas mileage if I slowed down. :rofl:

I may look at it. My DD is about to blow up. With 197,000 harsh miles it is past his life expectation. I'm waiting for the new Focus to come out.

Did I tell you guys that I had my DD airborne once, crossed a flooded creek, 9 accidents (1 my fault), used to go off roading with it, it killed a goat, various rabbits and squirrels.

PETA will not be happy to hear this, expect a phone call about the animals deaths....:beat:..WW

I was going to pay off the loan on this car, but I bought my ZR-1 instead. I spend about $220 less a month in fuel/gas than I did with my 95 LT1 though.

my 2010 gas mileage for nearly 6000 miles averaged was 39.95 combined daily driven mpg's. Lately I've been getting 37 combined, but with the fuel price over $4, I've been squeezing 42 with it. My best was on a trip to PHX of which I got 47.5 mpg. it gets 43 mpg on the hwy if you do 80.

My BIL kicked the ever loving snot out of a PETA POS clown years ago, when one of them tried to spray paint his wife's fur coat. It was a beautiful sight:hurray:

They should had used the pedestrian crossing :rofl:
