Gas Prices - Part 2
Thought would give this another try since the first one was LOCKED with the political references and innuendos. That thread made it to just a shade over two years and almost 238,000 views and 1,300 plus replies. Hope this one can stick around, please leave the political thoughts out of this and stick to the topic.
![]() Our local prices for 87 octane corn squeezins yesterday: $3.29 per gallon Today: ??? Who knows, could be the same, could be a bit higher, not likely to be lower tho, ![]() Original post liz approved this thread,

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
Just finished a pretty good trip. On the coast here gas was 2.99 when we left. between here and Petit Jean Ark I was sorta (not a whole lot) surprised at all the difference. Between here, central MS, northern MS, Arkansas, north east Texas and central Louisiana prices ranged from 3.29 to 3.89. Even in the same sate, county to county changed a lot sometimes. Good thing mama's baby bus (Honda CR-V) does pretty good on mileage. 1400 miles over the weekend.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
I spoke too soon (in the other thread) about our prices staying stable for awhile at $5.20.
Up a dime today, now $5.30. Shoulda kept my mouth shut.....

No ma'am.... that is for the cheapest self-serve no-name 87 octane in town.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
It's called living in California. They tax gas here like nobody's business It's about $5.30 for 87 where I live too. I believe that there is about a $2.00 a gallon tax. Something like that.
![]() I put 40 bucks of 91 in my little Porsche the other day. It's a very small car. You would think that would make a dent in it. Nope. 1/4 tank difference. Pretty soon it'll take 50 bucks to fill up your lawnmower. But not in California because they just banned gas mowers. You can't make this stuff up folks. I live it every day.

I only mention that the taxes in the Golden State are very high and that really cannot be disputed if you look at the numbers. It is expensive to live here. Property is expensive here. I do get frustrated at what I am taxed compared to other states but I’m staying. They’ll have to kick me a little harder before I go rent a UHaul. I was born here and will most likely die here. In fact I just made my wife mad so I may be killed at any moment now. ![]()

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
I hate this thread LOL. Seeing people complain about gas prices close to $3.00 depresses me. If someone starts an electricity price thread I will be sure to never look.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2

Back to gas prices. I lost an old (but perfectly usable) commercial-grade chain saw by letting it sit too long with ethanol-tainted gas in it. Expensive lesson learned, I now buy ethanol-free gas (race fuel, they say) for all my small engines. Last stuff I bought was $8+ at the bulk plant in the city. I'm running low so I stopped by today for a couple more gallons. Place was closed up tighter than a drum. I called the number, yep, they no longer have a retail outlet there, but they say I can buy ethanol-free gas at the nearby saw shop. OK, I go there and find 5 gallon cans for $95 + tax, total nearly $102. That's over $20 per gallon! Thanks but no thanks. Maybe Google can tell me how to separate ethanol from gasoline. Meantime, I'll turn off the fuel supply & run 'em until they stop.... which is what I should have been doing anyway.
