Gas - $2.70 a gallon - Columbus Ohio

[mtnester]

yippee...that is 31 cents a gallon higher than 7:00 this morning.

[sabra]

1. $.31 !!!

wow, amazing...

[mtnester]

4. Yep, $2.39 this morning

$2.70 at lunchtime. That is for the lowest grade regular.

[Damfino]

17. $3.02

...for premium full service -- across the street from my apt., here in Westchester, NY.

[mtnester]

It is beyond that here...$2.70 is lowest grade, self serve

They do not even have the prices listed for premium grade or diesel right now. And you only get full service here if you have a handicap sitcker. Otherwise, you pump it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. Whoa! I thought the $.20 climb over the weekend here was bad.

[Zhade]

3. $2.79 for 87 here in L.A.

That's the cheap stuff at the cheap station.

EDIT: woah, that's a jump! WTF is going on?

[mike_c]

15. this is OT but your sig line is amazing....

Everyone should see the information in that sig line, and especially every liberal democrat.

[ClintonTyree]

21. They're playing both sides...

with the lion's share going to the Slugs. It's a shame the DLC is whoring itself out so cheaply. This is ONE of the reason's I am anti-DLC. Any Party that sells itself out to big business can kiss my ass. They'll not get another dime from me. I'll support candidates based on merit, not because they're DLC approved. This shit REALLY pisses me off! :grr:

[mtnester]

23. I think sig lines are important. I think this one says it all

I myself do not have the brilliant prose some of our leaders have, so if I feel a quote is important, it goes right there. I have had this one for some time now.

[Zhade]

26. Thanks - I'm going to have to streamline it, though.

"New signature rules" and all.

[YOY]

5. and in a city with buses only as public transportation

Jeez, glad I went to Kent.

[mtnester]

7. Exactly, and they even removed some cities from the stops

in the last couple of weeks.

NO public transit here...none...you have to drive to work if you live in the burbs.

6. 3 good reason why!!!

1. No good information on oil exists inside of OPEC. There is no independently verified estimates of OPEC production rates or reserves. If we had a firm accounting of how much oil is really left and what fields are in decline then the markets might stabilize around a price that makes economic sense. Maybe mention Matt Simmons' book.

2. Add that OPEC has publicly stated that they cannot produce any more oil than current production rates and that non- OPEC producers have had a decline in production despite the high prices that should encourage more production. If price instead of geology drives supply then why hasn't this mechanism worked yet.

3. Tell them that we only have ourselves to blame for not using technology The average vehicle fuel efficiency has actually decreased since the the late 1980s and many of the new hybrids are being built for enhanced performance instead of fuel efficiency.

8. You won't hear anything about this on limbaugh.

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. He made some smart-ass remark about having his pilot

stay under 400mph to conserve fuel.

How 'bout a good stall at about 10,000ft to make his crap his drawers?

[The_Casual_Observer]

31. How about a simple crash?

[TheCowsCameHome]

32. Naw. Hate to ruin a perfectly good aircraft.

Well, maybe in this case..................

[corkhead]

9. As bumpersticker patriots would say, "FREEDOM ISN'T FREE"

:sarcasm:

[mtnester]

12. Want to hear something that makes it even more brilliant?

ODOT (Ohio Dept. Of Transportation) is going to use the money it received from the feds in our county...


TO REPLACE THE DAMN SIGNS THAT ALREADY EXISTS ON S.R. 33 THROUGH FAIRFIELD COUNTY -

THEY....ALREADY...EXIST

They will be making them bigger...using a cool $2 million dollars to do it...signage...$2 million dollars.

PUBLIC TRANSIT YOU STUPID ODOT ASSHOLES!!!! WE NEED PUBLIC TRANSIT!!

ODOT is completely out of control.

13. My FIL almost punched me last weekend when I brought this up.

He's a big fan of W and was complaining of high gas prices.

I guess I deserved in getting his hackles up - it was a slap in the face.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

10. Just jumped 20 cents in the Twin Cities.

I wouldn't mind so much if my work wasn't completely out of the transit system!!!
I checked: it would take me 3 hours to get to work by bus.

[hadrons]

11. this SHOULD wake up some of the bush-bots ....

but they seem to love punishment

[maxsolomon]

14. if ohio had had west coast prices last fall

we'd have kerry as president today.

welcome to the club, buckeyes. can't say i feel sorry for you if you voted for bush.

[mtnester]

18. We yo-yo here everyday

sometimes hourly all day.

However, this is the largest single hour jump I have ever seen (cept for that asshole who was drive out of town on the day after 9/11 when he raised gas to about 8 bucks a gallon, stupid idiot made the national news, his wife eventually divorced him, and his independent gas station lost their supplier)

[bamacrat]

16. 2.45 for regular here in Tuscaloosa

[ClintonTyree]

19. I haven't checked around here yet today.........

it was $2.57 yesterday (Western New York) so I guess I'll have to check later when I take the dog for a walk. If it's gone up 31 cents here, my car isn't leaving the driveway for quite some time. I have the luxury of being retired and not having to drive. I live near town so I can walk practically everywhere.
bush and oil companies can kiss my rosy, red ass. Of course, bush WOULD NEVER dip into the oil reserve or stop the gouging buy his pals in the energy cabal. bush himself is in all likelihood making money hand over fist during this energy "crisis". :eyes:
It's just another cog in the redistribution of wealth wheel run by the neo-cons. :grr: We're getting to the point where people are going to start a revolution. The economy cannot take this siphoning of our money off to the rich.

[mtnester]

25. Unfortunately, due to urban sprawl, and a disgraceful lack of

public transit, we have no choice but to drive everywhere, including the grocery store, dry cleaner, work, dentist, doctor, hospital, post office, etc.

[Scout1071]

20. $2.62 in Kansas City.

My co-workers and myself are coordinating carpools for the forseeable future. First time we've tried to carpool as a group.

[mike_c]

22. $2.93 for regular unleaded here two days ago....

I haven't looked today, but we're on the $3.00 countdown now.

[MissB]

24. Still hanging at $2.57 for regular unleaded

Been that way for several days.

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. Maybe if it gets high enough the state will go Blue next time,

All those Reds had their way in '04.

Maybe they'll wake up next time.

[goodboy]

29. It's the same in Dublin., (nt)

[Beelzebud]

30. Central IL. $2.59 a gallon yesterday.

That was for regular unleaded.

Gee it's great having an oil man as president, huh?
