Prepare, it is going to get worse!

OK...so are we at the point of calling it ...(Gasp)...PRICE GOUGING? I remember another time (living in NJ) and the talk about all the tankers lined up and waiting to come into Elizabeth port to unload at Exon(Linden,NJ)... are we going to see that again.It is good to see so many citizens voicing their concerns. Too bad our diesel VW just died....but thank God for the Dodge van...like the rest of you we just plan our trips. Keep the faith.

Telling my age here I remember when gas was 50 cents a gallon over in Hawaii and we thought it was high compared to the mainland (3o cents) That was in the early 70's and gas was being rationed, On the island you could only get a rental car with 1/2 tank, you had to bring it back 1/2 full and the gas stations closed at noon. Needless to say we didn't get to do too much sightseeing in the car. We laughed when we saw Interstate (get it) 1 on Oahu.

I remember when you could drive into a full service station and tell the man you want $2.00 worth, what did we get..? Four - five gallons back then? Check the fluids, get your cigs..pay the man and on your way! Longing for the good old days...

we are paying £1.32 per litre, you are lucky!!!

I remember when I when the gas was .90 a gallon, then it went to .93, I was like :shock: no!!!! then to .97, ahhhhh, that was blasphemy! Now, I am speechless, it went from 3.87 to 4.00 yesterday in town while my husband was getting gas, $30.00 for a 1/4 tank.

$3.999 in California for regular.

$3.85.9 Bakersfield Ca. interstate prices higher

Saw 3.53 yesterday. Afraid to look today. This is in Michigan, gald I'm not in Calif. I am sure it is on the way at this rate.

Back in 71' the price wars had prices between .15 - .23. Then the shortage started and we lined up for around .75 and it has been going up ever since.
