Chicago Area price for Regular Gas now averaging $3.52 per gallon per MSNBC



Go slow, T


If this gas price site works in your area, good, because I find it reasonably close to real world prices in my area:

And the Democrats' answer? Raise taxes!

Some gas stations within Chicago City limits are now at $4.00 :-(

Some of the gas stations here yestereday hit 3.79 but fell back to about

3.69.

I got gas for 3.59. When I first bought the 93, I could fill her up for 10 bucks. I spend 36 bucks last night filling the 95 with exactly the same size gas tank. And they didn't even use a condom. . . .

The liberals want to reduce gas consumption. The way to reduce consumption is to raise prices. This is liberalism in action. Are you happy now?

This could really be a crisis of conscience for many people:

Really cheap gas

Reported by: Katrina Irwin Tuesday, May 22, 2007 @04:28pm

Call it a deal of a lifetime. With gas prices on the rise, one station unknowingly offered premium unleaded for 33 cents a gallon Monday. The mistake happened at the Valero Station on East Lake Road in Canandaigua. The manager says it was an employee error. Customers tell us the price was posted at $3.33.

Sara Offen still has a smile on her face. She put more than half a tank of gas in her car for just $1.90. "It's a small town, so of course everyone knew in ten minutes. I got a phone call from one of my friends who was down there and the parking lot was just packed."

Sara's mother Hayley says the mistake wasn't discovered until around 9:00 last night. "I went down and the whole place was just swarmed with cars it was like a herd of bees just flowing in there." She says when she swiped her card, the screen said see the cashier.

She was told, "no you can't pump gas and I said why? She said no, I had to shut down all the pumps....she's like we messed up we have been pumping at

33 cents all day," says Hayley Offen.

"I'm happy that everyone finally got a break and I wish more people could have gotten there to get the gas, so," says Sara Offen. The general manager of the gas station would not comment for this story.
