Thread: Gas Prices

  1. #1

    Gas Prices

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Thanks Brute. No I have something to compare prices at other stations to.

    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.

    I "served" there once upon a time.

    Gas has always been cheaper in Oklahoma. In Colorado Springs even Premium has dropped to $2.83
    I'm not in Utah, but I like Utah, really..

    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.

    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.
