[Ramsey]

There are some station that are still close to $3.60 for regular around here! Too bad there aren't small diesels or E85 only cars that could be bought around here for cheap.........

[KMJXJ]

ya no kidding i little turbodeisel would be nice cause i dont know of any places that sell E85 any where near where i live out here in the middle of nowhere

[bjoehandley]

There's a few stations that sell E-85 at around $.50 a gallon less, and not a whole lot more expensive than diesel.

[Ramsey]

Glad to hear its cheaper there, hoping to afford gas to tellico in september

[DrMoab]

SO, whats your point, when has reality ever had an effect on speculators, their stock in trade is rumour, innuendo and guesswork. :D

[cjben]

[256offroad]

2.84 where i fill up...and that is in my z71 (which gets 9mpg) ouch.....

It's cheaper here....for now. Expect it to go up come mid summer though.

And it doesn't matter where it hits......A hurricane could hit Antartica and they'd still find a way to jack up the price of gas

Totally true. Asian oil went up $2/bbl when the storm was still a day out.

However in this case there will probably be physical effects. The Strait of Hormuz is probably closed, despite public statements to the contrary, and could be for almost a week. Considering almost 20 million barrels of oil a day are supposed to move through it, you can be sure it will be felt at the pump, even though the news media still isn't giving it any attention.

That doesn't consider Omani oil infrastructure damage, which can also add a bit to the price tag, or even to the availability depending on the extent.

Since it would be in tankers en route, the oil not coming out today won't actually be "missing" from the gas stations for another month or so, but once it is known that a shortage is coming, you can expect prices to jump in the near term.

I like the legend:

branches rustling
trees swaying
trees breaking

WHAT TREES!?!? There ain't no trees there :D How are they going to know how bad it really is with no trees?

[Ramsey]

No trees? Guess again.

[Jump This]

Its down here. Yep, down almost .20 in the last month. Its only $3.599 now!!
Glad I have a diesel truck too....

No matter how high gas prices get, I'd rather walk than buy CITGO gas!

Don't line the pockets of a fascist!

Must be nice to have that option.

It is usually cheaper there.

If where you live is anything like around here, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a gas station. Surely you have options.

Hugo Chavez is a dictator who opresses his people. CITGO is owned by the Venezuelan government. Therefore, if you buy CITGO gas, you're contributing to his leftist regime.

[woody]

$3.08 here... took a whole $11 to fill up the Ninja :D

[beav350]

Up to 6 1/2 dollars a gallon here for the summer...

So, only people like us should be supported by our oil demands??

Oh yeah, that is why we buy from the ME, and Mexico, and nigeria....right...I get it.

Problem is, CITGO not only supplies their franchisees, but other stations too. Then at nearly $3.50 a gallon for the cheapest stuff, not everybody can afford to be so choosey.

How much cheaper can it be?? 3 or 5 cents a gallon? If it keeps money out of the hands of someone who calls America a "menace to the world", wouldn't it be worth the extra buck or two?

I have two kids in daycare. Believe me, I can't afford to be choosey about a lot of things (I drive a $1700 beat up Cherokee for pete's sake), but I'll be choosey about whether or not I give my money to a maniac like Hugo Chavez.

Nothing's more important than cheap gas, huh?

[cjben]

that's the thing that cracks me up around here. doesn't matter what oil company makes the gas,what brand of gas it is,ALL gas stations in this town sell gas for the SAME price. go figure. I guess they all want to get in on the screw everybody over job that the oil companies are doing

[jerseyjeep01]

I paid $2.79 today. It seems to be cheaper here in New Jersey than the other states.

If it's cheaper and on the way I'm going anyway......... Plus since more than just Citgo sells their fuel, it'll go back to them anyway.
