Posted By: Pennsylvania Ted

Just 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 ?

I just finished an 8 state trip and saw gas prices all over the place. The lowest was right here in Texas at $2.79 and the highest was in Ohio at $3.35. Buffalo, NY was $3.09. Joe

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

$2.75 for regular in Portland, OR - that is for full service since self-service is against the law here.

Hey 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!

Hey Ted, thanks for the scan of Gassaway's Signal Gasoline card. His home town is about 80 miles from me... and he played in Owensboro and Nashville while in the minors. Those cities are close. I have 2 or 3 Signal Gasoline cards, but not that one.

Thank you!

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?

I 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.

$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.

Its a beautiful thing...as Eddie Chiles used to say "if you don't have an oil well get one--you'll love doing business with Western". Prices this time for crude and refined products will stay high this time.

depending 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.

If you get a chance, ask your brother if the $1.90/gallon "gas war" is still going on in Allentown ?

I'll be driving thru Allentown tomorrow, on my way up to Cooperstown.
