Good Lord I just had to pay 1.95 per gal for my baby! I have never heard of gas prices down here to reach nearly $2 a gal. And its only just BEFORE the big travel season starts.

What is everyone else paying on average in the SE

stupid opec and government this needs to end!

Just felt like complaing. what do the rest of you think

 

I just paid $2.49 for 91 oct in LA!

 

I Figured that it would be well over $2 in Cali.. So i cant complain that much but coming from someone who lives in the south on the east coast i can remeber the days when 87 octane was .89 cents.

its just astonishing how fast the prices just keep going especially since christmass time around here

 

your not lying, i'm here in raleigh and its almost 1.79 in some areas for unleaded!

 

It's about $1.89 for 93 octane here.

 

this sums it up nicely

 

why can't we just take all the oil we are already sending over millions to help them, why cant they knock off the price a little...just put 20 bucks to fill up my small 12 gallon tank...1.74 here in Charlotte

 

I paid 2.49 for 91 in the bay area in Cali.... this sux.

 

the sooner we kill all of them the sooner oil will cost less.

 

In FL, some parts of the county sell 93 oct at $1.96 on avg, but you have to search really hard and wide for $1.91. For regular, it's $1.75 to $1.89 on some stations.

Part of the problem is OPEC and another is US refineries (too slow) and Gov't taxes (approx .50 to .70 cents, can't remember the exact figure).

 

That's my understanding also. It's the Lack of refineries to process the crude oil that is really limiting us more than any other factor. Most US refineries are obsolete. They need to modernize but they won't spend the money because it would dig into their profits. Of course I could be wrong, but that's my understanding.

I hear donce we don't really import that much oil... Only 3-4 % total National use. If everyone would switch to hybrids we could probably eliminate the imports and even get a surplus.

BTW $1.89-$1.99 for 93 Octane along my drive to work on US 1 in Miami.

 

well if they designed them to look good maybe they would sell more, i know honda lastest attemp was pathetic, panels over the rear wheels?! come-on, let me at least save the planet in style...

 

A lot of Auto manufacturers are now switching their major lines to Hybrid. Lexus is switching their RX330 to Hybrid and Dodge said they were making a Hybrid Durango. Toyota has the new Prius (Not bad, not great.).

There are also a lot of Hybrid concepts that companies put out but nothing makes it to market. Honda had a hybrid sports car that looked absolutely badass but nothing ever came of it. That would be the perfect platform to test hybrid technology.

Most sports exotics are already pricey, so a few thousand $$ more for hybrid tech would not be noticed and they are limited production anyway so you could test a few hundred of these hybrids to get real world data on how they work.

We'll just have to wait til consumer demand goes up or manufacturing processes improve

 

Paid 1.93 for premium in Fayitnam....

 

Only? Here in Midwest I see $2.13 everywhere...
