Damn!  I just read in the paper about a guy around here that did a gas drive off.  he got a $400 fine out of it!  Id say that we'll see many more of these cases this summer.

I saw $ 3.00 for regular 87 octane in san francisco two months ago.got photos but files are to big. :smack: everyone here loves to drive and the gas companys love to raise the prices for summer.start saving your nickels and dimes to pay for your next wheelin trip.

california sucks for gas prices,some of the highest prices in the country.seems it will never end as long as bush is in office.four more years of this crap. :rivers:


nice photo's chris,the central coast is one of the last good place's in california.hope it stays that way...

You guys are lucky!

According to http://www.fresnogasprices.com, the cheapest station today was $2.41/gal and the highest was $2.75/gal over in Tollhouse (about 20 miles north/east of Fresburg).

Also, during the 4th of July weekend, I was up at Bass Lake doing some jet skiing. It was my friends jetski, and it was low on gas when we got there, so I had no choice but to fill up on the lake. It was nearly $4.50/gallon!! It was around $12 for a couple gallons and some two stroke oil. ::) :o :yikes: :shocking: :thud: :crossed:

Hey, look at this 36-Month Gas Price Trend here in Central California compared to the US Average...

It has been 25 Months since our area has been below the US Average :thud:

Gas prices here aren't that bad.....

A car comes in a gas station next to the oil price sign showing new high record in Bangkok, Wednesday, July 6, 2005. Thailand's 10 oil retailers will increase the retail prices of refined oil products by THB0.40 (US$ 0.04) a liter effective Wednesday. Thai inflation is expected to have accelerated again in June, as local retail gasoline and diesel prices rose repeatedly during the month under pressure from rising crude oil prices.(AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit)

just a couple of weeks ago I saw Diesel for $2.89 in centeral washington where my parents live.  it was $.10 higher than premium.  Now that make me really mad when I'm driving my F250.  Why do they make us pay MORE than premium. :maddest:

thats extreme :bull crap: because diesel is the least refined of all the fuels, less hazardous to ship as well. u just have to pay more because its what the military uses. check out biodiesel, its about 1/3 of the price, if u buy it from someone else, cheaper than that if u make it urself.
