Celica Forums General Discussion General Gassed up today

Paid $2.30 per gallon today here in socal...what a load of shizzz. It cost me $31.24 to fill my tank. I almost kicked the pump after that raping with no lube. These prices are getting out of hand. What in the hell is causing it?

DAMN gas is expensive your way! I think it averages around
$1.67 here.

I have never in my entire life paid less than $30 to fill a tank of gas with any kind of compact car I've owned. Be thankful you don't live in Canada if you have a problem with high gas prices And we've got it relatively good in Alberta...the east coast gets raped all year round.

I guess I should feel better now...but I still feel raped

damn thats serious! it's only $1.70 around here!

my mom's expedition now rakes in about $45-$50 to fill up (and thats with new orleans gas usually being cheaper than the rest of the nation)

it's caused by OPEC. they cut production again.

demand, supply & price. since everyone with a car demands gas, all OPEC has to do is cut production (supply) & prices go up.

simple math, bad consequences.

93oct in RI is 1.90+
All I buy is 93
Costs me about 25 bux on nearly empty

I've kinda made an effort in life to try not to complain about gas prices because of the sheer fact that my car needs gas to run and it sure as hell isn't going to run on Corona or Chocolate Milk, even though I've got a hell of a lot of that sitting in my fridge. It's a fact of life if you decide to drive and even if you walk everywhere you've got to buy some shoes...yadayada, etc. But yah, that sucks when the prices jump quite a bit so I feel ya there.

personally..i think if you depend upon something and that something isn't meeting your expectations, then you have a right to complain about it.

as opposed to the opposite...tree huggers who ride SUVs

Exactly...like I actually do depend on Corona as part of a healthy balanced diet...but here in Canada it costs me like 12 dollars for a six pack or if I'm at a bar, $5 for one bottle of the Mexican goodness and there damn well better be a good lime in it. So yeah, I kinda complain about that I guess.

buck sixty here in iowa, dollar 45 for the cheap crap that wont run in our cars

It sux. I left work at 5pm and I noticed the gas station across the street was only $1.99. I come back from school around 9pm and the price went up to $2.07!!!!

It really made you question the old saying "Stay in school" huh?

Something to make you feel better.

I have to pay 75$ to fill up my celica (55l)

So the prices in your country are still really cheap.

haha, my dad pays that much to fill his YUKON XL up in jersey...

75 USD?

My whole family has big cars

my mom a suv

my dad a big truck

my brother drives my mom's old boat

and all of them take premium

USD$30 to fill my tank...highest is around USD$40 here in BC canada...shitty price...

yes

wow thats just wrong...

yea, my dad doesent put shit in the tank either. he only fills up when ever he's in new jersey, casue it would cost him an arm and a leg to fill the yukon up here. AND he wants to get a denali xl.

damn, that's a lot

That is 75USD for 14,5 gallon.

$30?

I pay about $25 per tank for premium

damn what gas station is that???? the one near my house is 2.37 for 91.

my god...yah the gas prices in europe is pretty shitty.

^ yeah, perty poopy

There are a TON of reasons why gas is up to like $2.35 out here in SoCal. First, there is the always-present fact that California requires unique additives to "reduce pollution" , which increase the price compared to other states. Next, there is the fact that OPEC has cut production numerous times. Lastly, most (or all) of the oil refineries shut down to reduced capacity this time of year for repair. So besides having less oil, we have less places to process that oil now.


Damn, I still remember those $.90 prices a year or two ago. Those were sweet times. Next time that happens, I'm buying some beer kegs and filling up for later.

That sux's Here in tx by san antonio i pay 1.51 for a gallon. It like 17 dollars to feel up my tank

Damn that sucks ass, hahha Well here in good old Reedville Virginia gas for reg is 1.13 and 1.26 for mid and premium is 1.50
damn im sorry guys, ill send you some gas in a few weeks...

I give on bitching about it. $10 bucks used to buy me 150 miles. Now it's less than 125 miles. Soon, 100. $1 for 10 miles. Fuck that.

another big factor for gas going up is the value of $ going down.

its was $1.33 at the pump when i gassed up today...spend about 30 bucks...and this is just the begining

do you drive a celica???

a celica has around a 13.9 gallon tank.

1.33 a gallon X 14 gallons = $20.42 fill-up. musta bought a few snickers while you were waiting.

im paying $1.72 per gal

damn that's

$2.45 a gallon. (high performance) they just raised the it up by 30 cents.

in socal the high cost is not being caused by OPEC. two gas refinery plants here in SoCal shut down which caused a shortage. the plants always say it was a unsheduled shutdown for maintenance or repair, and that is a load of crap.

about $1.67 for premium here

I don't feel that bad now hearing that. I pay around $4.00 a gallon, but the gas prices are getting high again. What happened to like $1.00 a gallon?

Yea, gas is crazy

ouch. actually that made the papers over here like a year or so ago (2 plants in cali shut down) anything refining always makes the papers over here cause we're loaded with refineries between here & baton rouge.

California has a higher standard of living.

wow, that's a good price

it's 198 for premium here
