$2.88 down here and 5 cents cheaper with the gas card, I always notice MN has higher gas prices. The cheapest I found to fill up was in Lindstrom, lucky I can get there with one tank.
January 19, 2011 at 4:08 pm #927851I’m shopping for a scooter for this summer for the work commute. Really.
January 19, 2011 at 4:10 pm #927856filled my car up yesterday morning at $3.09 and on my way thought $3.19, glad I stopped when I did. I am not looking forward to putting gas in the Silverado since my Focus wsa $34 to fill up
January 19, 2011 at 4:15 pm #927861I have to run premium in my truck so add 10 cents!!!

Because we pay 5-7% more in gas taxes? That’s what a couple of Googled sites show.January 19, 2011 at 4:34 pm #927873Quote:

I just stopped at $50.00 and it did not even get 3/4 full, gonna be a long, expensive summer if the gas prices hit 4.00 to 4.50 like they are predicting.January 19, 2011 at 4:41 pm #927882Ill be glad to have the boats staying at mille lacs and at the cabin all summer. Be driving the car…even though its not as a cool as a nice ford truck…
January 19, 2011 at 4:46 pm #927886Heh, heh, heh, suckers! I knew my solar powered fishing boat would pay off! I’ll wave to you as I pass the dock.

I am glad people are all making these predictions. I am sure that commodity traders aren’t listening. Personally I’ll believe it when I see it. I don’t see a big economic turn around that could support it.January 19, 2011 at 5:06 pm #927894Quote:

Me niether, but I can sure see a little economic upturn that could get hammered (
) with a major price hike at the pumps this summer…even old age and treachery won’t help me out there. 
– RevJanuary 19, 2011 at 5:07 pm #927895Wasnt it two summers ago when they predicted $4?
It never got there because Americans were so angry at the thought. I think that has a lot to do with it too.January 19, 2011 at 5:09 pm #927897Anyone know of a place that sells scooters with trailer hitches? Need one heavy enough to pull my 620. That will never be full so will save some tongue weight.
January 19, 2011 at 5:15 pm #927904I think Boss Hoss makes a trike that should be able to pull your boat !
January 19, 2011 at 5:22 pm #927912I’m not complaining as we all just got a 2% raise when they lowered the SS tax.
It’s a crock of
. I’m investing in futures.January 19, 2011 at 5:30 pm #927923Quote:

Your right, but why is Lindstrom MN not charging the 5-7% gas tax?

They are, it is just cheaper depending on where you live in a state and the size of the holding tanks. I pay at least a nickle to a dime more here in Richfield than I would in some suburbs.January 19, 2011 at 6:05 pm #927948$3.24 here in Eau Claire yesterday! Looks like a bicycle for commuting back and forth to work this summer so I can afford gas for the boat.
January 19, 2011 at 6:33 pm #927961‘They’ are paying attention to the leading indicators that consumer spending was up in the 4th quarter of 2010 and ‘they’ feel the economy is turning around (I must be living in a different economy) and demand is going to go up again, thus the prices are going up, and ‘they’ say $4 this summer with $5 next year. That is until the economy suffers again and the prices drop. There are a lot of variables that go into the price but still has a whole lot to do with basic supply and demand. I do wonder what all those people who said the prices were so high because Bush was making his oil buddies rich will say now that prices will go higher under Obama.

They will just switch to the “Corporate Greed” moonbat cry.

Just got one, beetle TDI, so far I have 300 miles on this tank and it is just below 1/2> so far so good. Truck sits in garage instead of commuting
January 19, 2011 at 7:38 pm #927986How come this is not Obama’s fault???
NEVERMIND!!!
I have come to the conclusion that gas prices are beyond anything I can control. My solution?
MAKE MORE MONEY!!!

BINGO!! Driving is such a high priority with me I would sacrifice lots of other things before lowering my gas consumption.
January 19, 2011 at 7:42 pm #927991Here in Illinois I am paying 3.28 for reg – and across the river it is 3.08 for reg. Most of the time it is 10cent to 20 some cents cheaper. I full up as often as possible going that way in to Iowa.- – -Pool 14. I drive 22 miles back and fore to get the cheaper gas.
January 19, 2011 at 7:45 pm #927993I guess I’d rather pay $2/gallon but $3.50 right now doesn’t seem “unfair” in any way. I can tow a 21′ boat 16 miles at 70 MPH for $3.50. That’s 22 cents a mile. To me that is a lot of “value” for the money. Particularly when you consider people spend $2 bottle for water or $20 for movie tickets without a second thought.
January 19, 2011 at 8:19 pm #928010Everyone should be thankful anyone of us can go out today and buy virtually an unlimited amount of gas 24/365. Some countries that is simply not the case.
