So gas prices are suddenly spiking up in my neck of the woods...

Volcanic gas leak eruption: "Unstoppable" California Gas Leak Now Being Called Worst Catastrophe Since BP Spill

 

two months?!?! i haven't read about this on al jazeera.

 

Yep, happens whenever we don't use enough gas................purely a coincidence!!

 

Since last week, gas in California went up $0.40 so far.

I wonder how much further these gas companies would like to rip us off when crude oil continues to decline.


iPhone ?

 

As much as you will let them get away with. Quit buying the stuff and use your plug-in more.

BTW, the crude oil prices I see are $3 to 4 per barrel higher than I saw about a week ago. While still very low, the trend of the moment is up.

 

Bought gas today. Cheapest I seen in a LONG time. $1.49 with the 10 cent Kroger discount at the Shell station. Bought just over five gallons of 87 octane. Pump read $7.55 Too bad I didn't need more fuel. Haven't been driving much this year. This last month I filled up one time.

 

$1.61 in my area.

 

I don't know if you all have ever had this problem, but with all my old cars, I had to check my gas every 4 days to make sure I knew when to fill up. Well, I started doing the same thing with my Prius, only to see the gas gauge hardly moving. So, I trained my mind to not look at it so much. Problem with that is after two weeks I hear the "beep" warning and have to quickly find a gas station............LoL.

 

It makes a beep? Lol. I get gas on 2 bars like clockwork.

1.88 here. Crazy.


iPad ?

 

Prius will beep once when the last bar starts flashing. I usually don't go down that far. Did one time on our old Gen II just to see what I could get out of it.

 

i always fill shortly after the beep, cause pip only takes 8 gallons. but sometimes, i don't hear the beep. it's more like a meep.

 

I thought it was 10?


iPhone ?

 

it holds 10, but only takes 8 after the beep. the other two are reserve.

 

Gotcha, that is a small tank!


iPhone ?

 

too much battery. that was the problem, trying to stuff it into the gen3 carcass.

 

Cheapest Costco in my area is $2.63, but overall county average is up to $3.04...

 

Once when I had my generation 2 Prius I took a trip. At 185 miles of highway driving, I noticed the gauge still read full! I said to the person I was driving with "damn, the gas gauge is broken it is still showing full." At 186 miles the gauge clicked off from the full level. I was relieved to know that gauge was working! LOL.

 

Reviving this thread once again.

Gas prices continue to fall here in Houston. With the ten cent discount from Krogers I purchased 87 octane Shell gas for $1.399 per gallon. I did not get a full tank as I was on 6 Pips, but could not pass up the deal. It is a welcome change to give someone a $10 bill and get change back. A year ago it would have been about 40 cents higher as per my fuelly records.

 

In Southern Cali, our gas dropped a whopping $0.20!!!!

So we only have to pay just $3.00 a gallon. Hahha
