What are you paying for a gallon of Premium?

TongMan · 02-28-2011, 02:36 PM

4.00 a gallon here in Sac, CA

Waiz · 02-28-2011, 05:36 PM

That's what the market is all about, anticipated future costs.

Regardless, $5 a gallon will be a reality IMO by the end of the year. Economic turnaround = higher oil demand = higher prices.

I own stock in both oil and solar so for me it's all good

SmoothZ · 02-28-2011, 08:19 PM

My car is in storage, so I paid way under $3 per gallon back in September.

I think it's now at $3.66 or so for premium in my 'hood.

As a son of a gas station owner let me break it down for you. Say your gas price is $4.00 for premium. We pay Shell $3.10. We pay City, State, & Oil Spill Recovery fee of ~ $.60. We lose $.02-.03 per dollar on credit card swipes so about $.12. We are netting about $.18 per gallon... So that should give you guys an idea of where your money is going..

SmoothZ · 02-28-2011, 08:38 PM

We already know that.

What makes me mad is that gas prices instantly rise because Libya farts or Iran cries and we pay the price the next day. It's ******* greed.

rambunctious · 02-28-2011, 08:51 PM

Shell doesn't control the SC process of its delivery, and these processes are betting on futures of the same gas prices you and I are paying... And Oil hates uncertainty, and when speculation settles in, prices skyrocket.. Im suprised the SPR hasnt put anything into effect. I just want to know at what point they will start unloading. The whole refining process is just as backwards as hybrids..

SmoothZ · 02-28-2011, 08:52 PM

Remind me again why humanity has decided that betting on futures is a smart thing.

Dreezy562 · 02-28-2011, 09:17 PM

4.09 last friday, tonight? 3.95

Niche79 · 03-01-2011, 09:05 AM

Premium just went up .10 cents in 1 days!!!! I drove to work yesterday and it was up to 3.65 per gallon....so for us, thats 30 cents since last wed/thurs.

MRMONROE · 03-01-2011, 01:14 PM

Premium at the local Sam's Club gas station jumped overnight from $3.39 to $3.52 (Charlotte, NC). It's pretty much around $3.70 at other stations.

Fairlady-Z · 03-02-2011, 01:10 AM

3.88 :[ kill me

red6spd · 03-02-2011, 08:24 AM

Long Island is going insane. 3.99ish-4 a gallon. Its been 3 months since I drove the Z so it has not hurt my wallet yet.

98intrigue · 03-02-2011, 10:40 AM

Hmm...I wonder how much gas will be for ZDayz??

Shamu · 03-02-2011, 11:42 AM

3.80 but truly this isnt all that bad. I commute 60 miles a day in a V8 Crewcab Chevy that gets about 19 MPG HWY. But then I only paid $19,000 new for the truck. I likely end up even for total cost of ownership with a Prius driver over course of 4 years of ownership. Even with $4 gallon gas. And I can haul my 370Z race car to the races. LOL!

I just drive the Z on weekends and occasional Friday but gas prices wont stop me from driving it. And it gets great HWY gas milage. I have hit 26.5 MPG on long hwy trips
