Just thought I'd let you guys know that while I'm here in Sd on business I saw a 76 station that was charging $3.14 a gallon for 91 gas!! Man I wish I could find some place here in SD that sold 100 octane, shouldn't be that much more. Oh BTW what is the average gas price in the bay right now?


Jason

 

it's about $2.50 in san jose for 91.

 

history in the making.

There's a twisted part of me that's actually anxious to see how high they'll go and what will happen in society. Anyone else get that feeling sometimes?!

 

yup, and the vindictive side of me wants to see how SUV owners will justify driving their tanks. our subarus don't get great gas mileage either though, but i'd still like to see what happens if it goes above $3.

*waiting*

 

i dont care how high it gets, nothing i can do about it, and dont say its my attitude that makes the prices high, cuz thats bull****.

 

i agree; given the alternatives (or lack of) we have, i'd still fill up if the price goes to $5/gal.

 

it's your attitude that makes the prices high.

 

it's not your attitude...it's your lack of reliable mass and public transit system. $5.50 one-way from Sunnyvale to S.F. on slow-@ss Caltrain that's never on time. Gimme a f'in break! Hell gas is still cheaper than mass-transit, and it shouldn't be that way.

hey governator, when are you gonna fix that state budget and allot money for roads and mass transit like you promised? or too busy visiting troops in germany to care?

 

preach on brother! i love my Subie, but i would give up driving it during the week if i could take reliable transportation to and from work.

 

yeah i wouldnt mind cutting down im putting miels on my car, but i work like a mile away

hmm maybe i should ride my bike!

oh yeah and the truck i drive at work takes around 90 bucks to fill the take up

 

ride a bike isn't an option here in sunnyvale, surprisingly.

too many damn drivers who don't pay attention and don't even know that they've ran over a bicyclist!

i guess it's a problem everywhere, not just sunnyvale...but the lack of decent biking lanes/trails here magnify the problem.

 

Yeah, everyone knows that the Governator sets the price of gas. OPEC has nothing to do with it at all, nor the EPA and the people we voted into office for mandating that CA burns a special blend of fuel.

The good news is that the prices will drop slightly now that the Big Weekend is over, but I'd be surprised if we'll see it lower than $2.35/gal at the name-brand pumps.

 

But he does have the power to improve public transit

So, is 91 really over $3 in the Bay Area?

 

 

The only good thing to come out of the high prices is that Texaco/Chevron have managed record profits for the last 2 quarters at $26 billion !

Oh, wait, that's not a good thing...
