$2.35 here in SE Wisconsin for crappy EPA mandated reformualted gas. Elsewhere in the state where they have regular gas it's ten to twelve cents cheaper.

$2.18 - $2.29 here in Michigan. Hope it gets better between here and Atlantic Beach NC headed that way with our motor home Thursday or Friday lol. Guess it's the price you pay for the toys you play with.

I find it endlessly fascinating that here in Albuquerque, with major refineries and huge oil fields within an hour's drive in three directions, gas is a dime more than in Wisconsin, which gets most of its gas via pipeline from here....Hmmmmm

It's just a big game and we're the one getting screwed from both the oil companies and the government. Here in Wisconin the total gas tax is somewhere around 50 cents a gallon and we have a real nice deal where they have an automatic annual tax raise of a penny every year. One idea I have heard that makes sense to me, but I doubt would actually play out, is to boycott one specific oil company. Eventually this targeted company would have to lower it's prices to lure back customers and then the plan could be moved to another company and then to another and thus start a price war like we used to have back in the sixties. This plan is similar to not buying gas on Tuesdays, or another specified day of the week, but I think it would be more effective because if everyone wouldn't buy gas just on a specified day all of the gas companies could weather it out because people would just gas up on the previous Monday night or following Wednesday and the ga companies would still make their money. But if one oil company couldn't sell their product for a week or month at a time that one company would really feel it where it hurts. I just know it would impossible to get everyone to cooperate and go along with the plan.

Here in Conn. , it's around $2.17 for 87oc and $2.28 for the next grade and $2.38 for premium. Just more $$ in the pockets of Dubya's oil buddies. What ever happened to the Congress looking into these enormous hikes? They're awful quiet this second term. Not even a squeak from those jellyfish!

It was $2.16 at independent stations for 87 octane here in Northern New Hampshire the last time I filled up. I don't even look at the other grades. By the time I get my old truck on the road I won't be able to afford gas for it...

Broomfield, Colorado $2.43 for the good stuff and $2.33 for the medium grade. Two years ago I would have said thank God for my Diesel, but at $2.39 a gallon, I don't think so.
