I'm seeing $2.67 to $2.79 in Silicon Valley. My corner station is $2.73.

The oil companies, if they are indeed behind the gas price spikes, are by no means dumb. They know that no matter how high the price goes, most Americans will still pay it willingly without m uch impact on driving habits. On another thread I saw posts about darkening skies. Seems as if we prefer to take a chance on black skies later rather than grey skies now. By this I mean there do not seem to be significant efforts at reducing consumption, and "conservation" seems to be a word that isn't in most Americans vocabulary.

This is what I was getting at about three months ago when I said that most Americans today acted as if they're too good to conserve resources. Americans are childish and should know better. If you act childish like the stupid brat that was always getting grounded as a child, you'll end up a Petro Mart bathroom cleaner like he did.
I'll say it. A lot of people in this country would take a Faustian bargan. If unlimited gas was available for the next 24 years at three dollars a gallon, with guarenteed eternal economic hell afterward for America, it might just win the election. :evil:

Your comment is just another way of pointing out how good Americans are at waiting until long after the horse is out of the barn before making an attempt to lock the door.

It's a conspiracy, ya know. Embedded deep within the Heart of Texas is a cadre of Yaley Skull and Bones grads (John Kerry not among 'em of course), secretly in cahoots with the Saudis and bin Laden et al. These CFR Luminatists are determined to combine notWars with Arab port deals and NO-like levee mines all over the frickin' globe, man. Yeah, they're frickin' nuts, man, and filthy Marc Rich-like power-mad Advocates for the Devil himself.
Kinda like me. 8)
p.s. Oh, yeah, Bush sucks barrels, man. :wink:
It was all over the news yesterday that gas prices are expect to hover around $3/gal all through the summer, and yet it is expected that even more mileage will be put on cars than was the case last year. Go figure. Doesn't it seem to make the sense that if the public would practice some voluntary conservation now, that we could avoid having mandatory conservation measures imposed on us later?
Gas is close to $3.00 in the San Diego area -- its running at around $2.89.
I didn't catch what gas was selling for in Baja California. However, it's not really comparable, since gas in Mexico is not refined the way it is here. 8)

In Austin, the average is now around $2.69
The biggest outlier is a Shell station where it is selling regular for $2.77

San Diego was up to $2.99 a gallon for regular unleaded on Saturday.
I thought it was just Southern California, but then I looked at my neighborhood in Arlington/Alexandria/Falls Church. The "cheap" gas station is $2.86 and the expensive Exxon is $2.94.

With Bush still in the Oval Office and the GOP running the Congress, the oil companies are taking their last shot at rape, pillage and plunder. I think even they know the game is going to be over in a few months, and they want all the geld they can get ... now! :evil:San Diego was up to $2.99 a gallon for regular unleaded on Saturday.

Is anyone paying $3.00 a gallon yet?

Not yet, the other stations have now caught up to where Shell is selling at though. Average price for a gallon of unleaded is now $2.75.

We are at $2.999 this morning.
Hah! Got you beat. I paid $3.29 this morning for regular. I heard its as high as $3.41 here in Seattle. I'm sure glad that taking Iraq gave us all those oil fields, hoo boy. :wink:
And now at $3.099. I believe the peak here post-Katrina was $3.31.We are at $2.999 this morning.
The range this morning was $2.699-$2.759. I expect that by the time I'm going home, the stations at $2.699 will have raised their prices.
