zeedude - that $2.05 price in Jersey was mentioned on the national news last night. I guess maybe it's not so bad to have refineries. :wink: I imagine the lines at those stations are akin to the liftline at a ski resort on the Sat of a holiday when all the lifts except one are on windhold. :lol:

Maybe can get out there on some busy road in the area with maps to these stations for $5. Like they have in Hollywood, a map to the homes of the stars. :lol:

One local station has lowered their prices 3 times in the past 24 hours..crazy..My Mom drives a Prius and she only fills up every 4-6 weeks or so..the last time she got gas it was $3.30 a gallon..lol

According to Gasbuddy..the cheapest gas within 15 miles of me is $2.51..and 3 miles away is $2.54..tomorrow I'm driving to the cheapest local gas station and seeing how much it will cost to fill up..I really don't think it will be more than $37..crazy..

OK, needed gas, this station wasn't too far so I had to go check it out:

When I got there I found gas was actually 2.09, it has since gone down to 1.99 at this place

Then I drove away and found that I went to the wrong gas station, one block up was this, but it has gone up to 2.12 at this place:

Cost me $23 to fill up my Toyota Corolla :)

The jokers near me are still at $4.89 for regular. I took this on my way to Jersey City this morning.

Is it possible they went out of buisness and never took it down? One of my local stations went out of buisness when gas was $2.59. Sign was never taken down and still reads that.

What's the normal price around you? I would think if there is a great disparity between what he's charging and what others are charging that he could get accused for gouging. Do some morons still fill up there?

Normal prices range from $2.35 to $2.65. In NJ there's a law that states you can't charge any less than the price you paid for it, but the sky's the limit. About 10 blocks away, there's another Exxon station with average prices.

and yes, the morons with the Jag's still fill up there. I'll catch about 2-3 a week in there.
