Posted By: Pennsylvania TedJust north of me....in Allentown....several name brand gas stations are having a "gas war" and the price today dropped down to $1.90 per gallon for Reg. And, it is reminiscent of the late 1970's era with long gas lines at the pumps.....it's really crazy. Since mostly every state is represented here on Net54, tell us what Reg. gas is going for in your area ?

Posted By: Frank WakefieldHey Ted!!! Send that wife to fill up those tanks. And she needs to get her lawn mower tank filled, too! $2.77 here, for the low, and a few cents more at some places. As a teenager in the early 70s I recall a "gas war" across the border in the northern edge of Tennessee. Portland, TN, north of Nashville. A friend had just returned and bought gas at 19.9 cents a gallon. I drove down the 10 miles or so and filled my tank. Gas was usually about 29.9 to 32.9 about then. I'd never heard of a "gas war" until that one. Maybe we should ALL sell our cards, cash out, then pool the money and build a refinery, we'd get shares for our cards. I can see it now, Baseball Gas. And anyone making a purchase of 8 gallons or more could get a free, you guessed it, baseball card!

Posted By: Mike (18colt)As of yesterday, one station (U.S. Gas) in Dover, DE was at $2.69. If you have a Safeway card and buy $50 worth of groceries, you can get a 10 cent per gallon discount at their gas pumps, putting it in the low-mid $2.60s. I know from growing up in PA that prices can flucuate by county -- for example, Montgomery County will be higher than Berks County due to additional gas taxes imposed (10-20 cents per gallon difference usually). Am I the only person here who resides in the First State? Mike (18colt)

Posted By: Ted ZanidakisI knew the Gassaway card would interest you....Charlie the "Sheriff" being from nearby Gassaway, Tennessee. The town was named after his family. He pitched in the Majors with the A's, Cubs and the Indians (1944-46). Frank, I have no special attachment to this card, so if you are interested in it....,email me. Have a great day. TED Z

Posted By: Anthony$3.12 here is Los Angeles. to put that in perspective that is equal to $1.32 in 1981, .62 in 1971, and .47 in 1961. seems to have outpaced inflation a bit, as I remember people complaining gas could hit a buck a gallon in the summer of '81, but it didn't happen.

Posted By: Mark Tdepending on where you live the taxes are different. In Ct we pay about 40-50 cents A GALLON just in taxes. I think the base price of gas is pretty much the same but then you add the taxes and thats where you get the price difference.

Posted By: Pennsylvania TedWhen I started driving in the late 1950's a gallon of the Lowest Octane Leaded (Reg.) gas was 20-cents. My Dad's annual income then was $5000......and, this income was considered an average "comfortable" amount, nationwide. Now....50 years since, a so-called "average comfortable" income is about $50,000....so, $2.00/gallon gas is reasonable. But, $3.00/gallon is a little higher than the 10 x factor in the scale of living that we have seen these past 50 years. TED Z

Posted By: S Gross<<<At the Cumberland Farms in Manahawkin, NJ (south) - $2.71/gallon>>> Kevin, you just freaked me out!!!!!!!!!!! I know that place! It was the first gas station my father would fill up at on a return trip from LBI (I recall a few choice mumblings about the gas price on the island). Of course that was 35-40 years ago. Good to know it's still there. Oh, I ride my bike to work, so I haven't fill up in a few months, but I think the basic 2.80-3.00 is here in Savannah, GA (higher out at Tybee, those %$#*&^ price gougers <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>)

It's very strategically located - last gas station heading west on Route 72 off the island before the northbound and southbound entrances to the Garden State Parkway and lots of folks take advantage. I assume your father wasn't driving back to Georgia! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> To where were you returning?

Posted By: CatRegular (87 octane) was $3.019 in Temecula, California. The problem is that California gas has smog reducing treatment. The air in Southern California has really improved in the last 15 years, but I never use 87 octane because my pickup barely runs on 87 octane and my car runs better (although will function on 87 octane) on 91 octane too. Every time I drive up to Oregon and fill my tank for the first time, I think there is something wrong with my car/truck and then I realize the change in power due to the different gas.
