1.299 gas at shell Woodridge,IL (local ? Hot ?)

[MamBo]

Hi there, I'm not shure it's local or not, but i was amaized, when i noticed that
shell gas station at 87th/Bougtto at woodridge has regular gas at 1.299
(nearby amoco 1.56, Speedway 1.67)

 

[tchinhe]

must be pricing error.

 

[longhorn]

Come on down to Texas, you can get unleaded for $1.19

 

[Vpham97]

Longhorn,
I was going to say the same things.

I fill up my car every chance I get now, b/c I know it will creep back up one of these days.

 

[TatSteeL]

man that's cheap here is around 1.45 everywhere.

 

[NutBucket]

Man, we needs some cheap gas out here. Who wants to help the Californian paying $1.55+??? I pay shipping

 

[hoihtah]

i used to think that the gas prices in the states are just way too high...
but in comparison to some other countries...
it's still one of the cheapiest.

i've heard from this korean guy, that in korea, people easily spend $80-90 to fill up a taurus. that's crazy.

 

[Shmorq]

NY prices aren't that great either. Around 1.70 for the good stuff and 20 cents less for the cheapest.

 

[Krueger81]

Hoihtah: That is true. I used to live in Germany and gas prices over there are like 4 Dollars a gallon.

I gas for around 1.35-1.45 here in Lincoln, IL.

A local store around here had a gallon of milk for $2.49. Im not sure this is hot deal or not?

 

[jayhawksrock]

Where is woodridge? Is that a Chicago suburb?

 

[preed6]

Anyone know of a good gas price comparison site that stay's reasonably current with prices?

I'm from the UK where people seem to watch prices much more that here in the US. Last I checked it was about 90p/litre which is about $6.50 a gallon, so let's not complain too much about $1.70 ...

 

[mechwarrior]

Woodridge is a suburb of Chicago. Another Shell in a northwest suburb of Chicago had $1.45.

hoihtah, you have to understand, the U.S. and other countries derive their tax monies from different sources, Norway has outrageous liqour and cigerette taxes, most Euro countries have high gas taxes. Many have subsidized healthcare...the money has to come from somewhere, and how each micro-economy decides is the best way to obtain those monies...well, up to them.

God bless the U.S.

 

[BillyBoy4]

$1.69 out here in Cali...

 

[dew042]

1.25 in new orleans...

 

[sly_630]

1.75 in ny

 

[Kingofcomputer]

1.81 for my nearby Shell 92.

 

[hoihtah]

dgoedken.... you do have a point there...

in asia...
tobacco products were much cheaper than in the states.

hmm... i guess it all evens out.

but here's an idea. how bout if we charge gas according to people's driving record/miles.
that way... all the grannies driving dangerously on the road can be encouraged to stay home.

and making the road a safer place for everyone.

just a thought

$1.78 for 91/92 octane here in Twin Cities, MN

$3.00/Gal for milk (I remember it being $1.99 in Knoxville TN)

$2.25 for loaf of bread (I remember it being 99¢ in Knoxville TN)

$1050+/mo rent for 1300SqFt. 3BR 2BA. ($445/mo for 2BR 1.5BA Townhouse in Knoxville TN)

I hate my cost of living.

 

[Lounatik]

1.09 here in Atlanta(Costco)Can be had for 1.19 most everywhere else in town.Had a local station drop down to .79 here a few weeks back.Guess its too far a drive from Illinois or Cali for it though..........Us Georgians pay the lowest amount of tax on a gallon of fuel,I believe it is around 8cents per gallon.Hence, the abhorrent traffic and pollution!

Peace

any hot deals in gas cards? The cheapest I find in bay area is $1.67 at Arco but they are going back up. Beacon is like $1.75 and Chevron near my house is $1.88 now it just went back up last week. I still miss the days in Louisiana that I get 93 octane for $0.99 at mobil.

 

[gerrick]

I pay at least $1.72 per gallon of regular unleaded in San Diego. Premuim goes for almost two dollars if not above. I hear it will go up to three per gallon of regular unleaded this summer.

 

[JACKHAMMER]

I am there, worth the 10 min drive.

stop groaning about the prices of gas in other countries!

there's some major differences between the US and other countries (if you haven't noticed).

Here's a short list (feel free to add some more!)

1. Other countries are obviously smaller, so less distance to travel

1. Most other countries have been around far longer than the US, so there population has had more time to grow and is more densely packed than the US population, so the distance to travel to reach jobs/friends/family is usually much closer

1. Motorcycles, scooters and bicycles are more popular in most other countries, probably because of the gas prices and that the distance between cities isn't as great.

can anyone think of some more reasons why comparing US gasoline prices and prices in other countries isn't a fair comparsion?
