@YuleEsplanade: Not sure why it isn't represented as US$/gallon, but you're right, it's in US cents per gallon.
@jfielder23: Because we have to and they know we will - they tested the waters up to $4, wait until the next "test"
Just curious, everyone is talking about how expensive gas is.
How much do you think it should be exactly?
$2.09 in LA isn't so bad. When I moved from San Diego in the winter of 2002 gas was $1.65, it costs 44 cents more 7 years later?
I'm not complaining. Sure I'd like it to be 99 cents like it was in MN in 1998 but is that reality?
I remember when gas was $0.99... in 1998-99. That was awesome. BUT, since I know it had to go up, I'm actually okay with it being right where it is now. That's about $1.82-$1.83 here today in DE. I'd prefer it to be about $1.50 honestly, but hey, if it could stabilize at the price it is now (through the summer, at least), that would be nice.
The climbing concerns me--as someone said earlier, they "tested" us with $4 gas already. What's stopping them from really hitting the gas, no pun intended, on us again? Nothing... THAT'S scary.
@jfielder23: Where in 'Detroit' do you live?
Gas was 1.99 yesterday at 14 mile and John R AND 9 Mile and I-75.
It's usually cheaper out in Pontiac where my g/f lives.
I make sure to never buy gas whenever I drive north otherwise though (my Dad lives north of Rochester in super-boonyville). Last summer it was as much as a 30 cent difference in price.
But seriously, if it's on your route, there's a Mobil and another namebrand station right on the corner of 9 mile and 75, where the southbound exit is. They've been having a low grade price war since the last summer, which is a few cents cheaper then even the NoName place at 8 mile and John R that was even cheaper then CostCo last summer. Which is weird, because usually the easy-to-get-to stations right off the freeway are more expensive.














Still way too high.
