About gas prices???

I've noticed that the gas prices for the premium gas seams to be roughly the same all the time.............the regular seams to fluctuate more and even when the regular is high, the primium is the same!!!!!! does anyone else notice this????? maybe more people buy regular so the gas companies gouge them!!!!

Mmm...around here it's always 2.xx for reg, 10 cents more for midgrade, and another 10 for premium. Never different. Only exception is CostCo, who doesn't have mid grade, and charges like 18 cents more for premium than reg.

It fluctuates pretty bad here in Chicago, though usually for the worst. Right now we're at about $3.10-$3.15/gallon for premium.

I've heard economics professors saying strange things like..................If there's a hurricane in such and such a place.............people will buy more pop tarts......so companies will automatically stock them if this happens......Sounds strange but it's true.........................I just notice the regular gas going up and down and the premium staying relatively the same.........thats all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeeeaaa. I think you mean $3.40! I was just in San Diego, and premium was $3.25...Unless you live in hickville, Ca. there's no way gas is that cheap, especially in Ca.

I'm just glad I got rid of the Thaoe for the Cobalt cuz last year when gas spiked above $3 it was costing me $70 & $75 to fill up the Tahoe now even if gas hits $3.50 it will only cost $35 as I usually fill up at 1/8 & it's usually 10 or 11 gallons.

Have you realized how fast the last 1/8 of the tank goes as I'm afraid to let the Balt get below an 1/8 as it's not good to run any Injected motor out of gas not to mention the fuel pump problems it can cause

It cost me $28.00 to fill my Cobalt from 1/8th of a tank this morning... gas is outrageous here in Northern NY... $3.08 a gallon for regular.

I could at least get a kiss before i get fucked.
