not good

July 11 2008, 6:04 PM 

Judie,

I hate to sound like I'm living the 1960's, but it should be $.99 a gallon. We are being shafted by the oil snakes. Why don't they open their accounting books to us for an audit. You don't hear any mention of this by the media or the current administration. I think we're being scammed bigtime. That is why we must boycut Exxon and the rest of them will cave in an lower their prices. Don't pay cash, it adds to the money laundering/drug business. Any comments from anyone???

Price of gas

September 23 2008, 6:00 PM 

I try and buy the cheapest gas I can buy. Today I passed one station for $4.64. Then I bought my gas for $3.75. That is about the cheapest around town. I do not drive all over town to find a good low price. I happened to be passing . Many stations have no price listed and have yellow plastic bags over the handles. By the way, I live in Valdosta, GA.
The first car I owned was a '67 Rambler. It took 20 gals and I paid $5.00.

cryans gas discussion

July 12 2008, 12:21 PM 

I can't be there for the discussion, but here would be my input: Contact Rep Pallone, Sens Lautenburg and Menendez, and Gov Corzine and tell them to wake up regarding off-shore drilling. Their new excuse is that would "endanger the economic and environmental health of the NBJ Shore." With gas going up and up who'll be able to afford to go to the Shore? What then of its economic and environmental health? And contact our all-wise House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and tell her and her Democrat cronies to get their collective heads out of their a---- and stop their partisan obstructionism regarding this matter. Everybody's to blame, but who else is geared up to provide us with our gasoline? It would be a trade-off even if alternative energies were in force: just a different corporate entity. If money is being made off big oil, who stands to gain off big wind? Or big corn? We are a capitalist society. Be we Republicans, Democrats or Independents, we're all in it for the money, because we gotta live, folks.

The sad truth is that it is an election year don't expect these people who are in power to do anything that they think would help the other political party. So they may just let the American public suffer in order to win the "prize." I say let's send them all packing this November!

Here in Tennessee we are stuck with Al Gore who lives like a "king" burning up the electric bill for heating and cooling his 26,000 square foot home in Bell Meade while making a killing flying around the world talking about Gobal Warming.

l Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth'? -- $30,000 utility bill
Wednesday, February 28, 2007 | 11:08 AM
ABCNews

(2/27/07 - NASHVILLE, TN) -- Back home in Tennessee, safely ensconced in his suburban Nashville home, Vice President Al Gore is no doubt basking in the Oscar awarded to "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary he inspired and in which he starred. But a local free-market think tank is trying to make that very home emblematic of what it deems Gore's environmental hypocrisy.

Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.

"If this were any other person with $30,000-a-year in utility bills, I wouldn't care," says the Center's 27-year-old president, Drew Johnson. "But he tells other people how to live and he's not following his own rules."

Scoffed a former Gore adviser in response: "I think what you're seeing here is the last gasp of the global warming skeptics. They've completely lost the debate on the issue so now they're just attacking their most effective opponent."

At least you guys have gas. So many of the stations here in Nashville are having problems getting gas. The price was 3.49 before IKE. Since then it spiked up to $4.19 that was if you could even find a station that had any fuel. Haven't been in gas lines since the 70's back in Newark. The south didn't have that problem back then, so this is very new to them. Everyone down here freaked out! A lot of the problem was caused by people panicking. Some of the DJ'S were telling people to hurry and fill up before the storm hit Texas or they wouldn't be able to buy any gas once it hit. And buy people did just that.At the Friday night football games, they were announcing to the audience which stations were open and actually had any gas. We live 35 miles West of Nashville and we had gas, so everyone came up here. The police were directing traffic at our stations until the gas ran out. Amazingly only 1 person was shot over all of this in Nashville. And that was horrible.

I was traveling up to Randolph High School today to see tony parisi's on play football when I could not believe my eyes. A Sunoco on Rt 10 and Franklin was selling regular for $3.17.9 a gallon. I believe it is located in Randolph. Best price in about five months.

After the game I cut across route 53 to go to Tony's cousin's cafe: Mara's Country Desserts

Vincent said: "It's too bad we all couldn't just stop driving for a couple of weeks to put a little dent in their record profits, but unfortunately there isn't much in the way of public transportation down here in Ocean County..."

From what I've read, we were shocked by large increases, but the effects they had on us have really surprised the oil executives. People actually did change a lot of driving habits and think twice before hopping in the car to go get a bottle of milk. Even the trillionaires in Saudi Arabia have said they think this one has had a permanent affect. People now see a real need for electric cars and hybrids and are not buying SUV's any more. People have decreased their driving an average of 15% (so they say) and that's a big enough change to have to re-think the business plan for oil usage.

So even though we didn't stop driving, as you suggest, the amount we decreased our driving has had an effect big enough to make them realize this won't last forever.

In our area of Georgia most stations have no gas.
Some have not had any for almost two weeks. If
a station receives gas they a line up. Some people
are pushing their cars to the pumps. We receive our
gas from Texas and the pipelines are not working at
full capacity. QT gas stations said yesterday they
hope to have gas in at least 50% of their stations
in a couple of days. The governor's office made a
statement yesterday this should be completely
resolved by October 13th. Last time I got gas was

Re: Gas Prices

I think it's a stretch to suggest the Oil Companies have altered their Business Plan due to the current decrease in demand. Consumers are not applying discipline in their driving habits, in most cases they just can't afford it. The market is so volatile that any news from the Government or Wall Street, or any Global event or crisis in an Oil Producing Country, or more bad weather can alter gas prices on a daily basis. There is no way to gauge what's going to happen. If prices continue to decline, rest assured the American driving public will get back on the roads, especially with the Holidays arriving soon. Just my opinion..............

$2.89.9 today for gallon of regular

October 11 2008, 11:10 AM 

I like it! 22 cents drop in 8 days. Sweet. But we are still about 13 cents a gallon more than this time last year. This Delta station on Scotland road is very small and next to a Getty at the intersection of Central Avenue. But they are always 5 or 6 cents cheaper than a
Delta Station three blocks away. It is so interesting to hear from our friends around the country what is going on with gas prices and availability there. Very revealing to read this thread from top to bottom.

Last night I passed by the Hess on Hooper Ave, in Toms River, and gas was at $3.01. I'll check the 2 WaWas that I pass going to Mass tomorrow. They usually are somewhat cheaper than others around here. You may get your wish Frank, and have gas under $3.00 by Halloween. Are all the gas stations in N.Jersey under $3.00 yet? At least the prices of gas are going in the right direction.

Political absurdity is exactly right. The powers that be in Trenton never met a tax they didn't like. The more they tax us, the more jobs they can dole out to their inlaws and outlaws, many of whom would be otherwise unemployable. And their antics continue, even in the face of indictments (and convictions) that seem to rain down without end. Someone on another thread recently mentioned a circus; Trenton has one that runs all year.

I found an article in the US News and World Report dated March 7, 2007 stating that gas prices in the U.S. had RISEN to an average of $2.505 per gallon of regular. The author was complaining that prices had risen TWELVE cents in just one week. So I can assume that prices were $2.38 in late February of 2007. From what I can figure we are at our lowest prices in almost nineteen months. I would like to see, as everyone else, that prices continue to fall. Now if only the price of beer would dip as well.

West Orange Exxon went up 4 cents overnight to $1.77. I know three people with families who lost their jobs this week. When this stimulus plan goes into effect, I have one suggestion. All hirees must be citizens and tax payers of the United States of America. I do not mean this to be political, just some old fashion common sense.

It is the third stop from Orange and then a one block walk to Cryans. Several people posted as to how they could help. Well show up Friday night and ask him. If he takes the money and spends it for food, instead of train fare, then thats good too. win/win. He is there at the same table at the Dunkin Donuts Main Street and N.

When it gets warmer, he usually leaves about 10:30 am. We will see Friday.

Nice work John keeping the cost of gas frozen at the same price. A belated thank you for using the influence of this site to get the city to keep the Roseville Library open. The attention you allowed me to give to a certain '61 graduate has been responsible for an improvement in his quality of life. Did you see the Westinghouse plant on Orange Street has been leveled? Keep up the good work. See you at the May 1 First Friday, out of town next week. If you get a spare momnet, take a look at "how Newark became Newark".

Unexpected Easter Gift

The West Orange Prospect Street Exxon today actually cut the price of regular 4 cents to $1.85. I can not remember the last time gas prices dropped. I hope this is an omen of good things to come. Whoever heard of gas prices dropping the day before a nice weather holiday? Now there is another Exxon on Pleasant Valley Way and Mt. Pleasant Avenue that is $1.99 for regular and they can go take a long walk off a short pier. The Delta in Orange is $1.79, but who wants to go down there? I will drop by Dunkin Donuts tomorrow to say Happy Easter to Norman Schultz. If you want to see an Easter picture of Norm, e-mail me your cell phone number to frankmccree@hotmail.com and I will send you his picture.

Note the timing: a big weekend for driving.
