$2.99 a gallon!

[LTR]

Yep, it's finally here.

Just today, gas jumped from roughly $2.69 all the way up to $2.99 in Milwaukee.

Makes me feel better slightly better about driving my beat up Corolla.

1. Same here in Mid-Mich. $2.999 unl/reg n/t

[ET Awful]

2. I filled up on the way to work this morning and got it for $2.57

Surprised the hell out of me. Every other place around was $2.65 or more.

I'll have to see what the prices are in the AM tomorrow.

3. $2.66 here

4. We have a "fuel bank" here

where you can buy fuel in quantity and they keep it for you. I just checked the prices and it is selling at 3.27 a gallon. This is not a business that gouges either, it is usually one or two cents above market at any given time (but for example I bought about $500 worth at 2.04 or less and that's what I'll be using until I use it up) (it charges a little more because it only sells fuel and doesn't make up in gas price losses by sale of soda etc.) So expect giant increases tomorrow.

8. I wish we did.

You'd think that would be the perfect "product" for a coop to take on.

5. We have 3 stations, and 3 prices for reg. unleaded:

BP at 2.99/gallon
Mobil at 2.89

[B3Nut]

11. It was $2.99 at the PDQ an hour ago in Madison

and 3.09 at many other stations, and 3.25 at Speedway! This for regular!

It ain't over yet, either.

12. 2.84 this morning and

at the same station in Mosinee, WI this afternoon it was $3.15.

[TheMightyFavog]

13. I called up an auto parts tore in town... They said $3.16 in Coleman

I was calling to get a price on a locking gas cap for my car.

14. I hadn't even thought of that yet.

I guess those days are back.

15. $3.29 in Menomonee Falls area

Our son saw that price on the way back from school in a couple of places. And a breathtaking $3.59 close to home, although others within a few blocks were "only" $3.05. Dragongentleman said the high one might be because he's getting low on gas and doesn't want to run out completely.

Last night our regular station (yes, a Citgo) did run out and the BP across the street had a long line of cars waiting to fill up (they were at $2.69 then). He couldn't raise the price as long as there were customers in line. Heard on the radio that there was some trouble on the south side of Milwaukee today where the station owner did try to raise the price while people were waiting.

16. 3.29 in Vesper

17. I was reminded by my son the other day that after the gas gouging of 9/11

Wisconsin passed laws preventing the stations from increasing their prices more than once a day.

Does anyone else remember seeing that? Was that temporary or is it still in effect? I don't see prices being changed three and four times a day here so I'm leaning toward it still being law.

If it's true, I wonder if it is preventing an all out gas panic like we saw after 9/11 and like they are having in other parts of the country.

[Bushfire]

18. Law still in effect. Prices at $3.49 Wednesday in my neck of the woods.

This is at a Marshfield Citgo

[Lefta Dissenter]

21. I just filled up

at $3.19. But I am so happy to know that the oil companies continue to show record profits. Whew! :sarcasm:
