How bad are gas prices where you live?

@TheHorse There you go if comes to that, I doubt it will even though should. We a that is not very nice society, apparently. The evil people will keep playing us if no one stands up.

@crossbones27 Once again, I'm reminded of one of my favorite poems, The Second Coming, by W.B. Yeats. Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Glad you did. If they find price fixing, how will I document how much gas I buy when I collect my settlement? I never keep my receipts. Wait. I have my credit card records.

Ah, interesting. What part of the US are you from?

@TheHorse Virginia

@snowy22315 Near D.C.?

@TheHorse I think that is just about the cheapest I have seen lately. Although Safeway is pretty good as well, especially if you have that 10 cent discount

I think I could find that rate here in the East Bay suburbs if I really tried.

@divalounger I drive by a Safeway with gas on the way to the College in Pleasant Hill. It always has really good rates.

@TheHorse This is the average price of every European country, some are more expensive, like Portugal, Norway, Greece. The Netherland. Here it is called "Benzina" (Italian) "Essence" in French "Benzin" in German.

@LadyDuck Thanks.

That is a lot! At least distances to other cities and countries is not that great there. Gas is "petrol" in England, I think. What is it called there?

$2.14 is the best price I've heard yet.

@andriaperry I've never seen that, even in Montana.

@TheHorse It was 1.99 for the longest time.

That's in NJ? That's a pretty good deal. I think we're getting "scalped" here in CA.

@NJChicaa Still less than what we pay for Regular in California, I assume.

@TheHorse My convertible requires premium so I always pay more than most other people in this area

@TheHorse I'm not sure but I don't remember a big difference a month ago.

@LovingMyBabies My "discount" station has dropped from $4.45 to $3.85 in the last month or so.

That sounds reasonable. Were they a bit higher a month ago? I'm not sure what happened here.

About a dollar less than the average in California.

@TheHorse

Egads. I'd have to do a lot of math. But it is in my comfort zone. Should I bother?

@TheHorse I wouldn't! I couldn't be bothered doing it so there is no reason why you should. Take my word for it - it's more expensive than yours.

I wonder how much I'd pay up in Montana. It's a lot here.

My (house) gas bill was really high this past month as well.

@TheHorse I never worry about my gas bill. I worry about my electric bill.

Yeah, it's frustrating. I wonder if anything "naughty" is going on.

@LindaOHio I'll have to check and see whether an "investigation" is actually happening.

@TheHorse Could be.

That's a really good price, by my standards.
