A co-worker just came through and said that in a town about 40 miles away, gas was over $3 a gallon.

Actually could save it to drive IF gas goes down...

Looked like everyone in my area filled up yesterday; there was a 3-car wait at each pump. There were people coming to our area from 50 miles away because the gas prices had gone up to $3.65; ours were still $2.55. A few stations in the area ran out of gas yesterday.

Can't wait to see what how the prices have changed on the way home this evening. I am old enough to remember when gas was less than $1.00 per gallon. Really weird.

You can't be that old then

I remember it as well and I'm 24.

It was 2.49 this morning and 2.63 at lunch in SW MO.

It was 2.69 this morning - due to the heavy rainfall I didn't venture out for lunch so don't know if it has gone up in this area yet.

I remember gas being a nickle a gallon in gas wars - of course I was only about 6 at the time - when I got my drivers license gas was 34.9 cents per gallon.

Dan, what year was gas 34.9 cents per gallon? I remember helping my Dad at his friend's service station and gas being 39 cents per gallon, but I'm not too clear on the year. Might have been late '60s?

1967 in South East Missouri.

Thanks, that's about right. We lived in upstate New York at the time...

Prices finally topped $3 bucks a gallon in Mass today.

Yep, but it means a lot less at $2.579 than it did at $.349.

$2.56 last night, $2.69 this morning, and $2.86 at lunch i Overland Park KS (just outside KC) - if you haven't checked out Phillips 66 and their TankBank card, look for it. I think it's also at Conoco. I've stopped for a 32 oz Coke every morning on the way to work or play for years - I get 2 cents on the TankBank card for each 32 oz drink (which I buy anyway and it's cheaper there than at QuikTrip). I also currently get 2 cents on the Power Bar I get for breakfast in the car. We filled up a couple of nights ago and I had 42 cents on the card (that's PER GALLON) - we got gas for $2.14 - I won't buy anything that I wouldn't be getting anyway, but 42 cents off every couple of weeks gets MY interest! (And I fill up every 3-4 days - I let the card build up for a couple of weeks).

And no, I don't have stock in Phillips or Conoco!

But do you have stock in Coke?

Gas is staying right around $2.59 here...at least that is what it was around noon (North Central Minnesota).

I filled up for $2.45 yesterday and it was up to $2.59 at lunch.

$2.79 on my way home last night (cheapest station; regular gas) - $2.99 on my way to work this morning. Mid- and high-grades are both over $3.00 now.

I just heard a rumor that the local pipeline was shut down due to a shortage. One local gas station is empty and can't get more. I REALLY hope this is just a rumor!

northern WI-2.84 last night, 2.99 now.

I actually paid 2.43 this morning. Couldn't believe that it hadn't gone up yet. The other stations in town were 2.66. It will probably all go up today. This is in east Texas.

Went by the station last night was... $2.66 a gallon... cost me $33.00 and I drive a Ford Taurus...sad thing.. after that I went to the store.. got a large bag of skinless chicken breast, 1 head of lettuce, 3 tomatoes, 1 cucumber, bag of shredded cheese, bag of those seasoned almonds, box of club crackers, and a 24 oz bottle of Ranch dressing and paid 26.98 .... hhhmm.. it's terrible.

I have been to a few gas stations here in SW Florida that don't have any gas at all. I hope THAT doesn't last very long.

$2.68 at most places here in Southern Indiana but I saw one station at $3 and have heard of another at $3.20.
