Gas price survey:

[Big-X]

So, remember back last years when we thought $1.90 a gallon was crazy?

So what are you paying for a gallon?

Charlotte: $2.55

[rebls]

Right around 2.60. I don't even look at how much it is to fill up anymore.

[WeeWillie]

$2.52 as of today, who know about tomorrow.

[Mer]

$2.57 in the Dallas area. I was riding back from Texarkana last weekend and saw a lot of cars lined up for gas so I joined the line. (I needed gas bad anyway...lol) Looked at the price and it was BELOW $2.00/gallon!! I asked what was up when I went inside and they said they were having price wars with the station across the street. I wished they'd do that around here! I was wishing I had my 20 gallon van with me, still, I saved a few bucks.

[FL_VTX_GA]

West Palm Beach around $2.70. Costco $2.599.

[VorTeX]

I saw one station here at 2.71 for regular. It is insane. The thing that gets me is that the oil companies are reporting record profits and I heard on one T.V. station, who quoted a stock broker as saying,"It is a good day for oil!" Someone please explain to me why the oil companies are allowed to make record profits and not pass a savings on to us at the pumps. Who allows this and why is it not considered "price gouging?":mad: :mad: :mad:

[Kinghen]

It is price gouging, but as long as we need their resource we are screwed...

[VorTeX]

I guess we have only ourselves to blame. Consumption is up so I guess a revolt is out of the question.

[Reborn_02]

Here in Mass. approx. $2.60
I hear its suppose to keep going up also.
Not good.
Someone's getting rich.

[Kinghen]

$2.59 87 Octane

[ROSHOLT1]

$2.69 central wisconsin 87 oct

I'm ONLY 44 and I remember when my Dad was complaining when it went over .35 cents in late 60s early 70s

[jeheap]

$2.59 in Houston - and still rising. Price average went up 24 cents just this last week!

[Retro Rocket]

$2.48 here in Joisey for regular as high as $2.74 for high octane but the X doesn't need it so why use it. :spank: <---OPEC

[VTXcitable Boy]

2.47 a gallon. Why? Because our fearless leader won't intercede on our behaif, like his Dad did. It's all about the futures Market. Bush senior threatened to open our reserves if the stock market didn't stop spiraling. Low and behold the market leveled off and prices curtailed. Jr. said he would not intercede. Might as well get used to it. It's not hard to see where his loyalty lies. I judge a man by his deeds, not his words. Evil always triumphs when good men don't speak up. So it goes. JMO. Greg....

[Outlaw1800]

$2.70 regular! Lovettesville Va. Higher prices as you get closer to D.C.

[ROSHOLT1]

central wisconsin 2.74 as of 6am

[Gertbfrobe]

$2.49 as of today in Kingsport TN. Thank God I gotta bike. It cost me almost $50.00 to fill up my truck.

Eric

[Jrsess]

Today in Tampa Florida, average 2.54 a gallon. Ride safe Jrsess :cool:

[rebls]

Went down to visit son in college 2.39 down there

[Ametz1994]

Belt, MT - 2.60 - 2.70 a gal

[ROSHOLT1]

On tuesday in Green Bay I was filling up at 2.69 as I was filling the manager was changing the sign to 2.99 when I went past today it was at 3.29

[Kinghen]

Gas stations around here in KC MO are stating 4$ by the weekend... Unfortunately I have to drive over 1500 miles this weekend...

[chazb458]

2.79 two days ago and now some with 3.00

[Big-X]

Well, yesterday it started at $2.47, $2.69, $2.99, and this morning $3.19. People were at the gas stations with pickups with the beds full of gas cans filling them up, so sure now the gas stations are out of gas till they refill.

We live with idiots, on the TV they are in a panic talking about having no gas, of course if every one fulls every car they have and every gas can the stations will run out, on any given day.

The same thing happens to milk and bread when we have a snow storm.

[chazb458]

Just an example of the national IQ dropping because of panic and a case of I'll get everything now, even if I can't use it, and screw anyone else who needs what I've got, syndrom.

[Tommy Kelly]

$2.55 today $3.60 tomorrow or whenever they can get some the hurricane has deliverys held up

[VTXaN]

$2.79 around the Ft. Hood area.

[Outlaw1800]

You might want to bookmark this site. This is the Virginia site but, if you scroll down the left side, there is a place to put in your city and state. It will give you the highest and lowest prices in your area.

[chazb458]

Thanks for the site. I'm getting everything from 2.57 to 4.99 for Fort Worth. Makes me wonder how old some of this data is.

[vtxrider]

Here in central NC, south of Raleigh, 2.99 to 3.49 and of course this is for the low octane, which is what I had to put in my bike this past time, usually run the best stuff but it is tooo high.....

[VTXaN]

Yep,
Gas went up .30 a gallon today, now it is $2.99 here in Copperas Cove, TX.

[mustangman]

$2.97 is the cheapest I've found in Bradley, IL. I'm broke! :mad:

[ROSHOLT1]

Saturday It went DOWN from 3.29 to 3.09 at all the stations near me.
My thought on the whole thing is big oil will keep it in the 3.00 area for a few months and then let it drop to the 2.50 range, and the masses will be singing in the streets for the "cheap" gas.

[blkxride]

Cape coral/Ft Myers florida area. I've seen low of $2.89 to a high of $3.19. I'm sure there are places selling it for more. We've had the same kind of idiot response with people buying in panic mode and filling up everything they owned while others had to go without!! Worlds full of crazy, selfish bast#%@s. :icon_mad: I doubt we'll ever see it much below $3/gal again.

[chazb458]

It stayed between 2.99 and 3.09 all weekend. I've seen some higher but they are one offs. 2.99 seems to be an easy price to find.

[jbfjr]

Man I thought is was bad here in CA. At home 2.89 near my job 2.98 for 87. Don't know how the price can differ so much. Over 3 bucks is insane. But like it was said before I too remember pump shock at 1.50 a gallon.

[Hoagie]

Regular gas is anywhere from $2.67 to $2.89 around here in Allentown PA area.I'm sure it will be on the rise again shortly

[djvtxcsc]

Gas prices are around 2.75 here in Charleston, SC

[Big-X]

well, here in Charlotte just saw gas back down to $1.99!!

[jeheap]

North Houston area has gas prices anywhere from $1.99 to 2.17 a gallon.

[NC Hammer]

Winston-Salem, NC - Best I've seen so far is $2.04. But it's still coming down.

[roadhag]

Hey NC...get to ride in to work down here for the next 3 days also...highs
65 with lows around 45...absolutely perfect coming in today....anyway,
stopped to get gas at "wally world" and if you use their card it was 1.94 regular...other than that, it is running 1.99 for most of the lowcountry..not too bad

[NC Hammer]

I love going to SC. The gas tax is lower. Your gas is always cheaper.

I rode in Wed, Thurs, and today this week. It was raining pretty hard on Monday & Tuesday. Temps were low 30s in the morning and upper 40s for the ride home.

Going to leave early today so I can ride home in the daylight and not have 4 wheelers flashing their lights at me for a change. (my headlight and spots are a little high). Works for me, everyone knows where I am.

Have a great weekend!

[blkxride]

[NC Hammer]

I SEE YOU, I SEE YOU!!!!!! LOL :icon_dizz

Just had lunch with RayBob. It turns out that it's 726 miles from here to your place. We have to check with Dentkicker, but we're thinking of making the trip this spring. Will keep you posted.

Also thinking of going to AZ and UT in the fall of 06. 2,126 total miles 1 way. Service before I leave and as soon as I get back.
Thinking of doing an Iron Butt from Okla. City to Phoenix - Plus or Minus 1050 miles.

Hey, :icon_chee

This has been a trip I've been wanting to make for quite some time. Please keep me in the loop with information. :icon_ihea That is if ya'll don't mind a tag along.

Hey that sounds great!! Your more than welcome to come down to my house or I could meet you somewhere upstate. If you ride down, my wife is an excellent cook! Either way I'd be happy to see you guys!! If you want to come all the way down I'd ride up to meet you somewhere (maybe 1/2 way) so we could ride down together.

Why AZ & UT any particular reason for those places? or just a good long ride??

[TerrySc]

Lots of National Parks in southern Utah and Grand Canyon in Arizona.

[NC Hammer]

Why AZ & UT any particular reason for those places? or just a good long ride

RayBob has family in Utah and my Daughter(Allison), my son and his wife are in and around Phoenix.

Already been to NJ to visit my youngest (Lisa).

RayBob is not real sure about the ride west, so I'd be glad to have the company. Do you ride a 1300 or 1800? Just asking to gage how often we would have to stop for gas.

Also thinking about doing an Iron Butt from Phoenix to Okla City (1050 miles) then the 550 miles from Okla to Jackson Tn would qualify us for the 1500 mile Bun Burner

[NC Hammer]

TerrySC,

Just answered my question - 1800 - we would stop every 100 miles for gas. I'm thinking 2 weeks in September 06. Will keep you in the loop as plans finalize.

BlkXride,
Not sure when for Fla. April or May. I'm trying to talk RayBob and Dentkicker into riding straight through as a warmup for the Iron Butt. I told Ray that if the weather got bad we could stop. Better Safe than Crazy.

[TerrySc]

Thanks NCHammer for keeping me in the loop. Maybe we can hook up and ride when the weather warms up.

[NC Hammer]

Thanks NCHammer for keeping me in the loop. Maybe we can hook up and ride when the weather warms up.

Works for me. We like to ride down on Hwy 11 and over the mountains.

[Captain X]

Dallas: About $2.20

[BadX]

about 4 weeks ago we were back down to 1.95 now we are back up to 2.29 which sucks. Whats the deal here?

[saltire]

[tejasvtx]

We are around 2.24 mark again in north texas

[KevTN]

Chattanooga anywhere from 2.23-2.30 for regular

[2FS4LV]

We seem to be aound $2.30/ gallon here.

[NC Hammer]

HA HA $7.20 here .Stop complaining :)

What do you mean 'HA HA'? That's not funny!!

How much did your bike cost $50,000?

[Blue]

LMAO .. at those prices I'd be packing every day. :)

[BULLDOG1]

CAPE COD MASSACHUSETTS $2.45 per gal

[BadX]

Back up to 2.39 for reg here in Hickory, I've seen it as high as 2.45 around some of the smaller towns. Is there another Huricane heading towards the oil rigs? The oil companies are reporting record profits and nobody is helping out the little guys. My pay hasn't increased in any records in the past 20 years as a matter of fact I am making about 10k less a year compared to 10 years ago :hmm2:

[texas-neo]

$2.20 here in Tx, or i can drive about 5 miles and get gas for about $2.15.

[Mishiwara]

here in nashville, $2.27 for regular.

[Retro Rocket]

$2.22 here in Joisey. These prices are killing me. One day its down to $2.10 the next day it's $2.22 WHATS UP WITH THAT? Oh did I mention I commute 180 miles a day to work? :icon_sadb

[siriustock]

In mich its $2.55 a gal

[dirtdobber]

north alabama $2.60 a gallon on the mountain, $2.55 in the valley

[WB Shadowlady61]

Milwaukee, Wi. I noticed some areas were at $2.56 to$2.59 and 30 miles north up in Westbend area it is around $2.65. It is nuts. I'm going to take the bike just about everywhere this spring and summer.

[Retro Rich]

Up to $2.43/gal for reg. at the NC/SC border of Charlotte; heard it will continue to go up. Can't wait for the weather to get consistent, I'll be using the X to commute a lot more than I usually do since it sucks less gas than my truck.

[Green Ghost]

2.57 a mile from the house. Oil and Gas dropped on the market today. Oil down to 66.71 barrel sweet. Gas down 6/10s NG and LP both up today. Market Watch MSNBC.

[SeaRider]

I've seen it as low as $2.37 outside Houston city limits and Harris County. Generally around $2.55 up in the Kingwood area.

[Shutterbug]

$2.59 in the burbs of Tampa. (Gas was $0.23 when I was in high school!!)

[Charlie D]

cheep here paid 2.90 today for regular, Oregon gas price is one of the highest I think

[Big-X]

Well, today it was $2.65 here in Charlotte.

[Green Ghost]

2.54 in town of Mayodan. Right across the VA. line I filled up for 2.42. Taxes much lower in VA. There killing us in NC. :mad: GG

cheep here paid 2.90 today for regular, Oregon gas price is one of the highest I think
I didn't think Oregon had a sells Tax? Is gas just that high ? I know the FED is going to get theirs but what about the state tax?

[jbfjr]

Stopped off tonight on the way to work. Dropped down to 2.89 in Oxnard, CA. Don't think its the tax in Or. Gas seems to be higher on the west coast, don't know why. With the offshore oil rigs around here you'd think it would be better over here.

[Retro Rich]

$2.44 for regular yesterday in Fort Mill, SC (right across the Charlotte/NC border). In Rock Hill, SC last night, down to around $2.39/$2.40 there. I was coming back on business from Raleigh, NC this last Thursday, saw as low as $2.34 just south of Greensboro, NC.

[skneipp]

was out riding today gas 2.51 at the exxon in rehoboth beach de

[Outlaw1800]

To wax nostalgic, Back in 1972 when I was living in MA, gas was $0.25/gal. Cigs were $0.35. Swore I'd quit if they hit $0.50.
Bought my first townhouse in '78 for $47K. My daughter looked at a house in the same block last week and they are selling for $350K+!!!
It's just sad.
Best gas in the N. VA area was $2.43 last week. Slightly higher this week. Paid $2.63 yesterday.

[epiphysis]

I saw gas for $2.29 this weekend in a suburb of Cleveland! my wife buys so much stuff at the local Giant Eagle food market that we havent paid for gas for a few weeks...they have a $o.20 off gallon for so much that you spend......she keeps buying gift cards for us so that we get so much off the gas! ...... when I started driving, I bought a new car...Opel Manta Luxus for $2900.....and paid around $0.19 a gallon....I could fill my tank for around $2.50!!!!:cheers:

[SAVTXRYDER]

$2.49 in San Antonio. What's funny is that it's cheaper here than in Houston with all of it's off shore riggs. Gas prices are such a joke, when the price of oil goes down and the price of gas goes up at the same time you know something's wrong. Gas prices were a HUGE reason for me buying my bike and I am SO glad I did so. I still have my truck but it mostly sits in the garage now :0).

Gee Dub certainly has proven that he is not for the little guy. Hell he's makin his cheese so why should he care??? It's a shame that our "leaders" no longer care for the American public. It seems an attitude of get what you can get while you can get and get the F out has infected all of Washington D.C. And there doesn't seem to be any change on the horizon.

[HeadGuess]

Just fill up $2.179 in Rowlett, Texas

[ackgray]

Hello all from the Island of Nantucket Mass this should be a shocker as of yesterday $3.69 reg $3.89 super as you can figure everything out here is high but we are like fish in a fish bowl.Great forums I am a month old owner and can't say enough I love my 1300.
