LOL!

If gas got that expensive it would cause a surge in electric vehicles and maybe make cities besides New York and Chicago care about public transportation. Instead we get more and more suburban sprawl because gas is cheap.

LA cared the most about public transportation! Which other city cared enough to systematically dismantle and destroy it and build out in such a way that it can't realistically ever come back? Everyone else just let theirs be. Because they didn't care.

Anyway, I paid $2.76/gallon at Sam's Club in El Monte last night.

 

[Holmes]

3.10 for 91 in the South Bay.

Hmm. Was about 2.70 here in the North Bay last time I gassed up.

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

I paid $2.99 a gallon the other day for premium. Sometimes I regret buying a sports car haha.

 

[Jazzy Network]

1.85 at Mobil in NJ.

 

[Sephzilla]

2.25 central Wisc

 

[NeOak]

$1.87, shoutouts to Houston, Texas, Oil/Gas capital of America

I think Costco has it at $1.79 atm

Unpopular opinion: gas prices should be doubled nationwide in order to help pay for desperately needed public infrastructure improvements and to encourage carpooling. See also: climate change and reducing CO2 emissions through less driving.

We pay less per gallon here than many folks in Europe pay per liter.

Unfortunately, can't happen like that

 

[NealMcCauley]

It was $1.92 at Kroger when I filled up on Monday in East TN.

 

[The Albatross]

I'm surprised it's not the highest... Always thought California gas prices were the highest in the country normally.

Premium in Massachusetts is $2.70 or something. What I noticed is that gas stations really broke from the traditional "$0.10/per grade" unwritten rule once the recession hit. Regular used to almost always be $0.20 cheaper than premium, with plus or super being in the middle ($0.10 difference). But now, premium is like $0.45+ higher than regular or plus. Makes sense but stinks if your car wants premium and you don't want the engine to knock.

Yup this. You would think it would be lower since all the companies are located here <_<;

 

[kavanf1]

That's like 50p a litre.

lol

LOL!

Last time it was that price in Ireland/UK was the early 90s IIRC.

 

[Pagusas]

1.79 here in north Dallas. Love it.

 

[roflwaffles]

About $2.90 here in San Francisco. I've lived through $4.55 gas in 2008 so this is fine.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Why is gas so cheap in New Jersey?

 

[Man God]

Refineries.

 

[NeOak]

We have refineries, yes.

But we don't get buttraped like CA.

 

[Kamaji]

5,79 USD per gallon (if I had a license). Sweden.

 

[Megalosaro]

Just paid 2.30 in socal &#129297;

It's not just "those" businesses, it's EVERY business. The entire economy is built on goods being transported by trucks powered by gasoline.

You can sit back and be smug in your Prius while the roads get fixed but say goodbye to your 2 for $2 meals at McDonalds and say hello to a gallon of milk jumping from 1.79 to 5 dollars.

Yup. Logistics costs are a mother fucker.

Europe's gas is more expensive because their cars get 3-4 times better mileage than US cars. Thus, the price appropriation.

Don't you still have full station attendant?

 

[Fuzzery]

They should tax gas prices a high amount and then put it all into roads

People who argue for high taxes for roads penalize regular drivers over the actual big rigs that causes the most wear and tears on the roads.

 

[HStallion]

Funny this thread comes about and then suddenly Chris Christie signs a 23 cent gas tax hike for all of New Jersey. Well guess we won't be so cheap anymore.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

$1.79 - Central NJ

Isn't California always that high relative to other states?

With the potential gas tax increase it's going to jump a bit

 

[moggio]

Oh no, $2.71 a gallon! What a burden. How do you cope?!

 

[lunchtoast]

1.96-1.99 in my area (Nothern VA). I would pay 3.00/gallon if it went towards infrastructure.

 

[Ashby]

$1.89 here in NJ.

Only good thing about this dumpster fire of a state.

You know they just passed a 23 cent gas tax hike right

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Even at almost $5 per gallon, we still drove just as much.

LA is doing a bit to further public transport, but the city was built with the car. It's not easy.

 

[StarCreator]

Oh no, $2.71 a gallon! What a burden. How do you cope?!

It can be quite a burden if your wages are low enough, as they are for many blue collar workers in the US. Don't be obtuse.

 

[rrs]

paid $2.07 yesterday

Oh no, $2.71 a gallon! What a burden. How do you cope?!

most of the united states lacks a population density to support mass transit, along with car focused infrastructure development for like everything, and decades of cheapish gas leave lower middle class with cars for piss for fuel economy

 

[diaspora]

lol California's 2nd highest gas prices are still cheap as shit
