2.99 for premium here in Atlanta

[Modem Butterfly]

I drive a Volvo station wagon, 10 years old and designed to run on 91 octane (NOTE: You don't need premium if your engine wasn't designed to run on it, look at your owner's manual for further guidance). Yikes.

1. It is a little cheaper than that up in Cherokee and Cobb counties.

Regular this morning was averaging $2.48 and premium about $2.75.

15. We live in Smyrna, just a stone's throw from the perimeter...

2. Is that the normal, non-tourist-trap price?

[Modem Butterfly]

4. Not at all. It was .65 when I moved here ten years ago...

...and before the war it was about $1.75.

3. did you notice the price for Diesel?

passed a station around here yesterday, with $2.45/regular, $2.95/Diesel

when the truckers stop, we are all going to feel it.

10. It's already happened here

A local truck co in Ohio just went out of business because their fuel costs increased by $10,000.00 a month.

Sooner or later someone's gonna snap over this and someone will end up dead, whether it be a politician, Oil Co. executive, or a gas station owner, people haven't been this outraged since the energy crisis of the 70's and it's gonna get ugly.

5. Don't use higher octane then is required, your car

is tuned to run on that, and higher octane won't do anything.

[Modem Butterfly]

8. Yeah, that's sort of my problem

I'm stuck with it. And in any event, the difference is .20 or so per gallon, and not really much of a help.

11. Gotcha, I have been meaning to tell ya

how I sympathize with you living in that Right wing hornets nest.
My in-laws are down there.

6. 2.80 here for premium. 60 miles south of Chicago. n/t

7. Quit complaining

It's $3.10 for premium here in Seattle. Local news is claiming we are third highest in the country.

[Modem Butterfly]

16. A dime's difference.

[Imagevision]

9. Have you figured how much more in gas costs to reach work?

[Modem Butterfly]

14. I live close to work, so the cost difference isn't so bad

The average commute in Atlanta is very long, so both my partner and I are doing okay. I live six miles from work, he lives seven. But damn, it sure seemed strange to see that price today.

12. an arm and a leg

the price of oil is too high

13. 2.49 for regular in N. Decatur.

Lowest I've seen inside the Perimeter.
