Yeah but it will cancel itself out because of the gas I will have to use to get up there.

I think we'll be at $5+ pretty shortly. Just hoping we get some releif for ZDayZ so I am not spending TOO much. Sending two cars down is expensive!

It doesn't really matter. It's pretty much the same 93 octane at all gas stations. You pay extra for Shell, Chevron, BP, etc...for the extra additives they add to the fuel. I think the best thing you can do is try to find a gas station that does not use ethanol or the 10% ethanol blends. It burns faster than regular gas in turn making your gas mileage suffer.

Oh and I paid $4.05 last time I filled up. It is definately going to be $5+ by summer. I just hope it stays below $6!!!

it's $3.89 for premium here right now i believe. i find it funny how gas used to move 1 or 2 cents at a time, now it moves 5 or 10 cents at a time. if that doesn't tell you it's rigged i don't know what does.

In actual dollars it seems real rough but as a percent the changes are normal.

However, that still doesn't make it hurt any less.

Its funny that in California the gas is $4.50, but if you drive a few miles south to Mexico, there it is $2.90. Funny? no I think it's sad. Trying to stay within the rules of the forum, I'll just say no comment but I do hope the country makes changes, outherwise gas will be $10 before you know it....

Oil goes up, oil goes down, but gas price just keeps going up.

In an election year? $10 in 4 years or less.

Gas is cheaper in NJ because of the oil refineries (Gulf)

4.45 in california...

I make sure to own Energy Stocks in my Portfolio to offset the madness..

It at the very least,offsets my Energy costs..Will I get rich ? Maybe not, but It makes buying Food and Gas, so much less painful..

I learned this in 2008...My head would explode...The first thing I did was to shift a major chunk of my 401K and my Schwab account to energy...Then I don't lose it when I get Gas, or Food...

Since then it has served me well..

Just my way of keeping my Sanity..and Money...

Oh and Solar guy? My old life...I wouldn't own Green stocks if you gave them to me...Sell...sell...sell....

P.S. Please don't hate me, I am NOT a day trader...I set my course for the long haul by what I see..I hate High speed trading .

I buy and hold. I saw 5 dollar Gas and a crushed dollar, so I bought up to keep my Brains from exploding...
