There used to be a gaspricewatch.com where you could post local gas prices, but it appears to be gone now. <|:(~

[bigfootbob]

$1.80 unleaded regular Western Washington, Olympic Peninsula area. Up about $.10 in the last week.

[pbear8]

Costco - Northern California - $1.79

[LibKill]

East Texas, about $1.50 a gallon when I last filled up (one fillup lasts me for two or three weeks).

[rface]

a week ago reg unleaded @ $1.52/gal

today @ $1.59/gal

no big change here

[Ex-Dem]

$1.45 here. I'm always amazed how the gas is anywhere from 3c to 10c more expensive as soon as I drive across the border into MD.

[FourPeas]

As of a day or two ago, it was $1.629 for regular. It went up $0.10 the day after the blackout in the NE.

In Appleton Wi, price just went from 1.64 on thursday to 1.78 yest.

[The Coopster]

$1.64 - Central IN

Here in western PA the prices went up 10 cents from dawn to dusk yesterday and another 8 cents overnight. What a crock.

Seven Oil Refineries were reported shut down during the power blackout. It takes several days to restart a refinery, longer if there were damage during the shutdown (which often happens in an emergency shutdown). Of course, the refinery shutdowns occured in the upper east coast and mid west, which supply many of the areas now experiencing the higher prices.

The AZ problem is unrelated and supposedly being fixed with a bypass around the section of pipeline that is leaking.

The Energy Information Agency of the Department of Energy has a web page which contains much information on prices, supply interruptions, etc. You may find it here: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/twip/twip.asp

That web page has a rather complete discussion of the current supply situation and the impact on prices.

Paid $1.92 at the "cheap" station yesterday in Mililani (Oahu) (usually only 1 cent higher than that on post). This was for regular.

[Brian S]

Mid-Michigan $1.76 unleaded regular

[bullseye1911]

Lansing, Mich.---Tuesday, I filled up for $1.54. thursday, $1.75. It's come down $.02 since.

[norraad]

$1.39~1.59 reg. unleaded in South Jersey (up .10~.20 since last week) & we're awash with refinery's with access to plenty of cheap crude contracts(refinery's specialized to refine low grade crap that sells for pennys on the dollar of that fake $26~$32/bar. figure the talking heads read to us on TV).

Even with that inflated fake crude sticker price, there are all kinds of discount tricks played back & forth like card games between those who suck it from "mother earth" & those who cook it up for us.

Somebody's making lot's of dough peddling the second most plentiful fluid on earth(that we'll never run out of, never, not even close, it's like the Debeers & the diamond industry, the trick is to occlude the enormous supply)!

ps..The news story(read lie) of price hike due in part to blackout hurting production, puleeeeze, maybe a few tankers worth, nothing more.

Besides, most refinery's produce all their own electricity anyway, by design, so they don't depend on anyone but themselves.

[luv2lurkhere]

Here in the central coast of Kalifornia, I saw a posted price yesterday of an outrageous $2.20 per gallon!

[deport]

Pick your state and see the prices....

EIA gasoline

[Eva]

$2/gal in Bellingham, WA. We have two refineries and two more just south of here, that supply most of the west coast and yet we pay the highest prices. The pipeline south is controlled by BP who took over after the pipeline explosion. There is no justifialbe reason for the prices to be this high. Whoever controls the pipeline controls the prices.

[maxwell]

$1.59 in eastern Virginia. $1.49 in cheaper places.
