I was thinking that the pres was flooding the market with the strategic oil reserves. Just a guess.

we just went from $3.22 to $3.58 in a matter of 2 hours. Does that sound like a rip-off or what?

Paid $3.21 In Brook County GA today. Gas was 3.59 in Columbia County FL on Friday afternoon.
I think its as simple as One Delaware and all of these NJ Refineries shutting down and the fuel redirected in the SE . Hurricanes kind of change the course of those Super Petro Tankers. Look for possible shortages in the NE until these refineries re-open.

It's as low as $3.02/gallon today in Missouri, home of dumb tobacco fiends who don't want infrastructure. But it sure is a pretty state!

Paid $3.59 in my hometown today. Gas is nearly $.25 cheaper then the prices all summer long. Gas Prices are probably still high in the storm affected areas http://www.cnbc.com/id/49642174Power outages at hundreds of gas stations and a distribution bottleneck due to flooding damage and power loss has caused a gasoline shortage in the New York metropolitan area that may not be cleared up for at least a week, according to industry experts.

Robb, just paid 2.95 a gallon here at the beach. Seems this area has the cheapest gas from what everyone else is posting.

We bought a smart car about 5 months ago, our primary a sprinter cargo van gets about 20mpg (green diesel), the smart gets 44-50 and I don't have to mind the speed to get good mileage. Now for all inspections that are single story and a ton of meetings and consultations, all get done with the smart.
Yesterday, had an attic clean out 3 hours from the office, only needed tyvek, respirator, gloves, lots of contractor bags and my lunch money, saves a ton of loot! Fun to drive too!
Know that most of you handle skunks and lovely smellin critters all day so not as practical, but man, I have a much better feeling when gas prices rise now!
Still hope they drop soon!

Justin, I guess my question is why not a car that gets the same mileage, costs about the same, and you can actually get an entire raccoon cage inside of it?

Lol! It is sometimes like a clown car, which Dave S. referred to it as on .info, but man I love it! Didn't think I would, but when you pass the diesel, dually guzzler on the highway and they go from smiling to remembering how 8mpg goes, it makes it worthwhile! Didn't think it would be comfortable either for 6ft. 2in, but it is way more comfortable than my sprinter van! Justin

And just when I was beginning to like you. A smart car, really? Go ahead and turn in your man card. LOL I MUST respond..... Bought my wife a new Fiat 500 Sport about 6 weeks ago for her 50th birthday. I am constantly making excuses and finding any reason imaginable to drive it. It is an absolute blast to drive. It looks forward to direction changes as it handles like a racing cart. Gets around 40 MPG (it's a 5-speed, the only way to go), and is miles ahead of the typical commuter-type sub-compacts in styling and cockpit design. Certainly not a "fast" car, but considering the mileage and fun factor I'd have a hard time finding something in that price range that I would even consider.
