damn gas here is over $5.00 a gallon for 87octane if you can find it alot of stations are running out and only have 93 octane. gotta love our goverment

 

What? That can't be right. I just chose a random zip code 37917 for Knoxville, TN and typed it into my gas price widget.

BP Gas Station (8901 Oak Ridge Hwy) is showing $3.57/gallon for Regular
Exxon in the same area is $3.57/gallon

Are you saying that you can't find 87 Octane anywhere?

Knoxville Gas Prices

 

that data is 60hours old i filled up thursday night at $3.69 a gallon friday it had gone up to $4.49 a gallon and today its $4.99-$5.09 a gallon. some places only have 93 octane but there are a few with 87.

http://www.knoxvillegasprices.com/ in that link it still shows gas at $3.59 a gallon that was thursdays data

 

Yup, he is right. His state supplies my gas and they were doing the same thing. They closed the pipe at Knoxville, TN, which feeds us (Marion, VA.) a 150 miles north east of him on Interstate 81. There was mas chaos around with cars parked in the streets waiting to get gas before they closed the pipe. I made it because I was on "E" and paid $4.17 for the cheap stuff. Most stores had closed up here by Friday afternoon.

 

I'm paying the equivalent of $5.72/gallon right now. so Shhhh

 

but you have free heath care we don't

 

Hah! Good one. Hurricane Ike closed down all of the Texas gulf gas production, and will probably continue to be the excuse for high profits for the oil industry for months. Just on the eve of promises from the TV news casters that gas prices were about to come down.

 

I love how gas shot up in price 10 cents a Liter two days before the storm even hit. What a bunch of bull.

Nothing to do with gas prices, we pay for that out of our income tax... a lot of tax

 

The Governor of WV enacted a state of emergency so that gas stations don't hike the prices for gas during
the recent storms in the gulf. However, yesterday when I got gas it was back up to $4.05 for regular. My tank was a little past the half way point and I pre-paid $25.00 but it only took $24.00. The cashiers at this station are so use to me coming back in for my change that she already had the drawer open and had pulled out my $1.00 bill. She just laughed and I said well that is what you get for a car that gets 39 mpg. The guy coming out the door behind me said, "Damn" I just lauaghed!

Cat :x

 

i know but our economy isn't set up for gas being so high we pay out alot on income tax too but still don't get heath care. i didn't mean to come off as a ass i know you guys are getting screwed too.

 

You pay even less in Alberta than I do here. Here I'm gouged out of 35% of my paycheck every week, then another 14% sales tax. Half my money is gone every week to support a less than perfect overworked healthcare system, roads that suck and on top of that my property tax is $3600/year, and when I moved to where I live now, there was a $10K welcome tax.

 

holy shit thats bad, its almost the same here we have a overworked heath care system we pay very high premiums for. and crappy roads,high property tax,wheel tax < for tags, 9 1/2 % sales tax.
