Oh... and since everyone loves gas station pictures...

 

2.33 Per Gal.

 

You lucky bastid! Add $0.80 to each of those prices and consider yourself in CA.

OT: Jay Leno told a joke on his tv show that got some gov't officials a little angry. He said that after the war with Iraq, we are going to divide Iraq into 3 parts: Regular, Premium, and Super Unleaded

 

We pay 2.33 for 91. you got 93 for cheap. lol Ship me some 93 ill pay you for it

 

I decided I'd get gas tonight before we started bombing Iraq. The Meijer gas station on Route 59 has reliably been the cheapest gas in the Naperville area for a pretty damn long time now, any of you Chi-town dudes looking for cheap gas head on out there, take the 59 exit off 88 and head south a few miles

 

Speaking of gas prices......anyone else get this Email yet?

Join the resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Want
gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united
action.
Phillip Hollsworth, offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE
than
the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last
April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we
wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more
of
an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever
thought
of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read it
and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super
cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.97 for regular unleaded in my town. Now
that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think
that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50- $1.75, we need to take
aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace....not
sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to
take
action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if
we
hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do
that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.
But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a
price war.
Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year, DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from the two
biggest
companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling
any
gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their
prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and
Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp out on me at
this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach
millions of people!!
I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to
at
least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten
more
(300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the
sixth
generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!
If
those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then
30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further,
you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again,all you have to do is send this to 10 people and DON"T purchase ANY
gasoline from EXXON and MOBIL. That's all.
(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to
do
is send this to 10 people.... well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician. But I am... so trust me on this one.)
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten
more
people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably
be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think you and I
had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a
difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP
THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

 

$1.50 for 93 in S.C. and N.C. (parts of N.C.)


I remember when you could get 87 for .59........4 years ago in Gaffney S.C.

 

What kind of taxes do you guys have on your gas? The reason I think why the Meijer gas is so cheap is because it's in Aurora, IL in some tax black hole or something. That's the only way I can explain it being 10 cents cheaper than the next gas station a few miles down jthe road.

 

Man do we have it easy its only $1.53 fro low grade . Do you guys know that over half of the price for your gas is state and federal taxes.

 

I don't appreciate being called a punk just because I live in the best state.

 

Hahahaa Here comes the :fire:

 

I'd douse you with gas since I'm a "punk", but it costs too much here in CA.

2.55 in Montecito for crappy 91. Although, I do have to say, I would much rather pay more for crappy gas than have to live someplace other than Cali. I like it here.

 

$2.59 9/10

 

$2.32 per gallon for 91 at 76

 

Holy crap!!! I though $2.02 wa sbad!!!

 

hahahhaha Cali punks owned.

 

1.68-1.74 for 93 here in SA TX.

 

that about how it is here n raleigh too.. on a good day

i remember about 3-4 years ago. the lowest i ever saw was $.73 for 87 octane. those were the days


[Modified by baonest, 12:55 AM 3/20/2003]

 

$2.28 at a costco in Simi Valley. I'm all for the exxon mobil boycott, i don't buy gas there anyway

 

There is one gas station here in Tampa that was selling 93oct at $1.79 :-D

 

i've gotten this email like millions of times, and i just want everyone to know that many gas stations are privately owned and charge basically what they pay oil companies for. prices are high because of international taxes, which your local exxon/mobil station owner has absolutly no control over. my buddy's dad who owns a couple stations says that his profits come mainly from mechanical service and consessions (ie: sodas and chips). he said gas sales make no profit... plus i think mobil stations get gas from tosco (atleast in va) and will continue to do so until the ten year leases on mobil stations expire following the exxon/mobil merger.
