Queen Amaranthine Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 $3.89 here, or something like that. It seems to change a penny or so up and down at least once a day. A few miles from my town is a new ethanol plant, and more are going up all the time. I like the alternative fuel progress that's being made, but in light of recent floods and the resulting sky-high corn prices, no doubt that's going to drive up ethanol prices soon... Ethanol is all over here, since I live in corn heartland. But is it going to just become more expensive and if it goes up in price, is going to not have the positive impact on this local economy it's expected to have? Is everyone going to just give up on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I saw it for $3.95 and $3.99 in central PA yesterday. I'm guessing it's probably up to about $4.25 in my town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

austrya Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I wouldn't hold your breath either. Last time the price of oil was down, gas prices still went up. I don't understand how it all works... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Just went over $3.00 for a gallon of regular in central NJ... for some reason I think we have the cheapest prices in the nation at the moment, but it's insane. Oil companies reporting record profits... DUH! They're fleecing us. What's the price by you, and have you done anything to curtail your fuel usage? I, unfortunately, live in an area where I have no choice but to drive significant distances every day. Note that this thread started in April. Now the $3.00 that our friend Martin was complaining about sounds really good right about now Latest number here on the I90 tollway was $4.27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reni Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 $4.35 around here today.....though there is ONE station in Glen Ellyn selling at $4.19....and usually quite a line to get to a pump. However, the only kind they have is regular - works for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lamradio Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 What pisses me off the most though, is when I get gas yesterday morning and pay $3.89. Then, on my way home from work, the same gas station is selling it for $3.77.. Yeah, I guess I only spent $1.50 more, but still.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 $4.79 for diesel dino bones. And that's the cheap place. Edit: a peek back at my last post on 12-JUN, and the price is the same. It has gone done by .10, but it's back up to the same price it was almost a month ago. Weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 On the bright side . . . Study: As gas prices go up, auto deaths declineBy JOAN LOWY, Associated Press1 hour, 57 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Today's high gas prices could reduce auto deaths by nearly a third as driving decreases, with the effect particularly dramatic among price-sensitive teenage drivers, the authors of a new study said. Professors Michael Morrisey of the University of Alabama-Birmingham and David Grabowski of Harvard Medical School found that for every 10 percent increase in gas prices there was a 2.3 percent decline in auto deaths. For drivers ages 15 to 17, the decline was 6 percent, and for ages 18 to 21, it was 3.2 percent. The study looked at fatalities from 1985 to 2006, when gas prices reached about $2.50 a gallon. With gas now averaging over $4 a gallon, Morrisey said he expects to see a drop of about 1,000 deaths a month. With annual auto deaths typically ranging from about 38,000 to 40,000 a year, a drop of 12,000 deaths would cut the total by nearly a third, Morrisey said. "I think there is some silver lining here in higher gas taxes in that we will see a public health gain," Grabowski said. But he cautioned that their estimate of a decline of 1,000 deaths a month could be offset somewhat by the shift under way to smaller, lighter, more fuel-efficient cars and the increase in motorcycle and scooter driving. Morrisey said the study also found the "same kind of symmetry" between gas prices and auto deaths when prices go down. "When that happens we drive more, we drive bigger cars, we drive faster and fatalities are higher," he said. Morrisey and Grabowski presented their findings to a meeting of the American Society of Health Economists in Raleigh-Durham, N.C., last month. The study was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
