Gas Prices

[CarpeyBiggs]

Does this make anyone else wonder what the deal is on the west coast? Why is gas so much more out here. Bizarre, I tell ya. Is it just distance from refineries or something?

[DiscGo]

What the heck?


This is off the subject (kind of) but my in-laws live in Perrysberg Ohio. Where the average income is double that of Provo, and their average cost of home is half of what it is in Provo. So you have 4x the purchasing power there. I think when it comes down to it, there still isn't enough of a draw to wanna' get you to move to the green areas on the map.

this is propostorus! moving to Oklahoma!

Welcome aboard! I paid $2.04 for regular this morning!

It IS weird. Utah fuel last week was routinely $1.25 MORE than here in Oklahoma.

[DiscGo]

Sorry Richard. I forgot you live in the Green area of the map.

[KapitanSparrow]

Quickly! I need to refuel today. I saw gas for $2.80 on Redwood Rd. but if anyone has any scoops, please let it be known.

[R]

Sorry Richard. I forgot you live in the Green area of the map.

No apologies needed. We like it here, but certainly don't expect everyone else to think of it as Shangri-La. I will say that we live in what I think is one of the best parts of Oklahoma - it's hilly and green here, and the people are great. Crime is low and the air is clean.

I saw $2.63 at the Sinclair at around 7800 South and 27th West.

[IntrepidXJ]

I bought gas for $2.05 on Monday night and this morning it was down to $1.79

There are a few stations having a price war the past few days....probably won't last long, though

Wait a second... You married the Griffioen girl, didn't you? I knew I recognized that name.

Perrysburg is probably the nicest place I ever visited in Ohio. That's the RIGHT side of the river. :haha:

I "served" there once upon a time.

[Teleken]

Gas has always been cheaper in Oklahoma. In Colorado Springs even Premium has dropped to $2.83

[Mooseman70]

I just paid $2.80 for 87 octane at Maverik on Monday. At least it's not over $4.00 like it was in July.

Hey Kapitan check out this site:
http://www.saltlakegasprices.com/

Looks like $2.49 is the cheapest in SLC out by Camp Williams. This site is cool because it is updated daily by members. Plus you can search by town and grade.

I always buy at Costco. There is one by my house and one by my job. They are always in the top ten cheapest in the valley. If saving money is your thing, you can save way more by having a fuel efficient car than by always buying the cheapest gas.

Too funny, and yes Perrysberg is the right side of the river, although I do think Maumee is prettier. That is way cool that we share a connection now to Utah, Alaska, & Ohio.

Explain.

It's like the lack of sex I'm getting right now. I'd pay just about anything for it because my demand is so high. Stupid hormone changes.

Props for spelling Griffioen correctly.

[RugerShooter]

In my opinion the best thing you can do is buy a decent quality gasoline(like Chevron) don't buy the cheap stuff (Flying J, Mavrick, etc...) you WILL get better gas mileage. I get about 50 more miles on a tank of gas if I fill up at Chevron than at Mavrick I have done this several times to make sure it was not driving habbits, if you don't believe me just try it for yourself.

Ah, finally, it makes sense. People in Oklahoma have lots of sex, so they pay less for it. Thanks. :2thumbs:

Thanks for the link James :2thumbs: You are a good guy... :haha:

Ada, Oklahoma, today...

[CarpeyBiggs]

:eek2:

WOW. Under 2 bucks! Just plain crazy. It is now cheaper in SLC today than it was last year by 40 cents.

[accadacca]

I think I saw it for $2.44. 10600 South and about 1000 West, South Jordan.

[Scott P]

Gas is 2.59 here in Craig, but in Baggs WY out in the middle of no-where it is $2.18.

[Skylinerider]

Paid 2.40 at the Costco in WVC.

[shlingdawg]

$2.49 in WA.

[greyhair biker]

dropped from 2.83 this week to 2.63 yesterday but in Evanston thursday (abt 89 miles away) it was already to 2.43. We are getting screwed :haha: When I make the trip to SLC I always fill up in Evanston both ways because of the $$

$1.99 over here and under $2.99 for diesel...still too damn high.

[BruteForce]

I got fuel for $1.89 today in South Jordan..

Yeah, what's the story with diesel? Isn't it easier to refine diesel than unleaded? Y'all are getting screwed!

Hopefully once Obama fixes the BCS system, he will focus on diesel prices.

[accadacca]

$1.78 Chevron west side I-15 and 12600 South. I will be filling up my 5 gallon tank there in the AM. :lol8:

[greyhair biker]

...just dropped to 1.99 in Green River, WY. :2thumbs:

[JP]

Here in Connecticut, it's taxed more. They blame the wear on highways to the tractor trailers and things of that nature.

It is less refined, just more diesel is consumed daily...so I guess that's one other reason to tax it more :ne_nau:

[trackrunner]

I got 1.85 but had a .05 coupon for 1.80 in Cedar City driving back to SLC this weekend. Almost felt guilty using a coupon on such low gas prices. For years it use to be Southern Utah average prices were higher than the Wasatch front. But now it's flipped.

edit- such low instead of suck low. I do not think low gas prices suck, how low can it go :haha:

[Sombeech]

$1.89 at the Pilot and Flying J up in O Town.

[accadacca]

$1.77

[blueeyes]

I paid $1.84 Saturday night at a gas station near IKEA. It was the first time I really noticed prices had dropped. I quit paying attention cuz it was depressing. I honestly didn't think I would ever see gas prices under $3.00 again in my life.

[greyhair biker]

it's still $3.35 - $3.45 a gal...in Kahului, Maui, HI :haha:

Funny, I thought the same thing and just got over it. Kind of like giving birth, you have no choice but to move forward. HAHA! So I was kinda getting used to the $60 fill up. In our area, prices are leveling at about 2.39+

[Teleken]

Even premium (Shell V-power) has dropped to $1.95 in Colorado Springs.
Woo-hoo.

[CarpeyBiggs]

Completely mind blowing. Cheaper today than it was 2 years ago. My oh my.

And for kicks, the last 6 years. :eek2:

[Mooseman70]

Keep on droppin! :2thumbs:

[Alex]

I filled up at 7-11 by Big Cottonwood canyon at $1.81 last night. A gas station just a couple of blocks away was $1.87, go figure!

[devo_stevo]

I've been riding my bike to work adn hadn't filled up my truck in a month and a half. Tuesday night, I filled it for $40. The last time it was around $80. :2thumbs:

[Alex]

I wish I could ride to work, but 50 miles would be a long ride for me :frustrated:

But... I filled up a full tank for $16

[trackrunner]

come on $1.50. Let's see it drop below that

[Reedus]

Parts of Kansas and Missouri are already hitting the 1.40 mark. I would wager that here in Utah they will level out at the 1.40 to 1.50 mark. Any takers?

In order to wager, you have to wager. I'll put up two gallons of tannerite. I say they stay above $1.50.

[Jaxx]

get a motorcycle. That is what I did. In fact I rode it today. Cold but hella fun.

[RedMan]

$1.79 in Austin TX today.

[Alex]

No thanks, I'd rather die of old age

[RugerShooter]

Gasoline closed at 1.01 on the COMMODITIES FUTURES Crude is at 48.90, which means after taxes and deliver fee/markup we should end up close to 1.50-1.60 range before long :2thumbs:

That is part of the excitement!

[Reedus]

I'll see your two gallons o tanny, and raise you two of my own. Before January, somewhere along the wasatch front you will see gas below a buck fiddy.

[CarpeyBiggs]

Deal. We'll say that the $1.50 has to happen before 2009. It can't be at a discounted place, or a place you have to have a membership to. Gotta be legit, pull up and pay at the pump. Also, I think it is only fair that we have documented proof of said fillup (i.e. picture of you, filling tank with said price of gas.)

You know what the best part of this bet is? Either way, one of us is gonna be blowin' some shit up!!!

[CarpeyBiggs]

p.s. know what the other benefit of cheap gas is? more sobe bombs!!!

[Reedus]

I see Shaggy has educated you in the art of sobe firebombs. Not nearly as dramtic as the tanny. :popcorn:

[Reedus]

Already at 1.76 in some places in SLC. At an average of 2-3 cents PER DAY, I'd wager I will win by a landslide. And with the market continuing it's slide and oil already below 50 bucks a barrel, looks like mucho tanny for me

[accadacca]

:lol8: :lol8: :lol8:
Gon dun and blowed up.

I think it will hit $1.50 too. I might just stay in Hawaii and eat coconuts. :haha: :ne_nau:

[KapitanSparrow]

They say it might go down to $30 a barrel so $1.50 is a real possibility :haha: Seems like each time I fill up, I am overpaying, heh.

[Reedus]

1.69 @ Flying J in Layton...19 more cents.... :rockon:

[JP]

Out of curiosity, what's your diesel going for out there :cool2:

[Mooseman70]

I saw diesel for around $2.30/gal today on my way into work.

[JP]

It's between $2.99 and $3.50 here :roll:

[RedMan]

I win

$1.50 SunMart Westminster CO
7170 Pecos St

Diesel was $2.33

At $1.71 a gallon in Draper yesterday I filled up the Jeep for 24 bucks!! I had to wipe away my happy tears.

[James_B_Wads2000]

$1.61 at Maverik at 9000 S & 2700 W. Only 11 cents to go! :2thumbs:


I think you are going to loose this one Dan. :haha:




James

[Jaxx]

there is a Chevron by my house. A week ago or so they had low grade at $1.67 middle at $1.77 and then high grade at $2.97. I can't figure out what the deal was. I thought mabey they threw all their "1" signs out this summer and didn't have any for the high grade, it didn't change for a few days. Now i am going to have to check it on the way home tonight. Of course I don't get high grade so I didn't care.

[James_B_Wads2000]

$1.59 at the Holiday at 9010 S State St.

I have a friend that wants to bet dinner anywhere in SLC that gas will be more than $7 a gallon in SLC in two years or less. I want to take him up on it.




James

[trackrunner]

Could be over. It's been reported 1.49 at

Costco
5201 S Intermountain Dr near 5300 S State

But you might need a membership.

1.55 in Cedar City

[KapitanSparrow]

No worries :haha: It will go up again soon enough :roflol:

[REDFOX]

1.49 a gallon at a couple of chevron stations in Sandy.

[CarpeyBiggs]

wow. i guess now all we need is a photo of reedus filling up. any ideas on where you might use your tannerite? :popcorn:

[Reedus]

Didn't think i would win that quick. I'm not heading to Sandy to get a picture, so i will wait till it hits 1.49 down here in happy valley. As for the tanny, I know of another camper about 5 miles south of Hanksville off the right side of the road heading south that has been there for at least 6 years.... :ne_nau:

































































































J/K - how about a trip down to North wash to hit some slots. Tanny makes for some good entertainment after a long day of skinnies

[James_B_Wads2000]

I gassed up at Costco in Murray this morning for $1.49/gal. I know that doesn

[Deathcricket]

Oh man that's insane. I was all happy it dropped to $1.69 at the costco here in STG last weekend.

At the same time though, I'm bummed it's dropping down so low. I would like to see it stay at $3 to encourage gas conservation, alternative fuels, etc. Just use the extra money to pay for the bail out. Now all the progress we've made is going to be lost and we'll be back at square one when gas starts spiking up again.

[trackrunner]

Oh man that's insane. I was all happy it dropped to $1.69 at the costco here in STG last weekend.

Go to Cedar City. As a whole it has the cheapest gas in the state. I filled up for $1.459 on Sunday (had a $.10 off coupon). Several places have it going for $1.55-$1.53.

I hope we realize how vulnerable we are to high prices again and that we eliminate waste in our gas consumption. If it stays cheap it will become a distant memory.

85 octane going for $1.49 at the Maverik, corner of 9000 S. 2700 W. in West Jordan. If you belong to their discount club, it'll knock another 2 to 3 cents off per gallon. :2thumbs:
