Gas hit $3.999 gallon - how much is it where you live?
« on: May 30, 2014, 08:25:37 am »
Gas took a big jump to $3.999 (never understood why they don't get rid of the last 9 in the price!) today in Northeastern KY.  I don't know what caused that huge increase but it will definitely put a damper in my travels.  How much is gas where you live?  To beat it all, the Ashland Oil refinery where gasoline is refined is in our backyard (20+/- miles from my home) and our gas is usually the highest in the surrounding areas.
Have a wonderful day!

our gas is only 3.25 in the area where i live however i never pay that amount because our local grocery store (hyvee) offers an incentive to shop there by giving you a gas card where you can rack up cents off on your gas.  at most i pay around 2 dollars for gas

We are thrilled that gas has dropped back down to $3.99.  With all the refineries around here I don't know why it is always so much higher here.   We have lousy public transportation, however it is improving a lot over the past 4 or 5 years.   At one time in the 1920's  and 1930's we had the start of a great system, but it was bought out and destroyed by several different gas companies.  That's a legacy some city founding/council families are still regretting they were in on.   It has never been able to catch back up to other big cities in this country.   I also g to the grocery stores that will give you the incentives of cents off on your gasoline.

At the Quicktrip it's $3.55 a gallon, more expensive at other places.

Where I live the gas nearly $5.00 already.  It was 4.65 per gallon now.  I think it's crazy, we'll get to 5 very soon.

$3.28  regular in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Today I put $50 in my truck. Hope gas goes down for the summer. I have a Taho and in order to save I have to stay at home. LOL!

Gas prices are way out of hand. Here regular is just about 4 dollars. a medium blend is well over 4 and the premium is almost at 5 dollars. We need free energy vehicles and we need them now.

Ours just jumped from 3.41 to 3.59 this past week.  Pretty steep hike in price if you ask me.  I'm sure we'll hear some tale about some "disaster" as one of the processing plants or an issue with the pipeline to justify the hike.

Where I live gas hit $4.05 a gallon. I have no choice but to use premium because my car only uses premium.
