gas is free in florida but you have to pay 2.51 a gallon to use the gas pump
About $2.50 for 87 here in ChiTown.
Going up...
$2.37 for 86 octane in Albuquerque. Why is it that they can change the price of gas and we have to pay more for the gas that has been sitting in the tank at the station for a week? If cheveron filled it's tank for say 2.25 a gallon on monday and the price of gas goes up on wenesday to 2.30 a gallon, but they have not refilled their tank why should we pay the extra .05 for the gas they only paid 2.25 for?? A: cause oil companys suck and we dont have a choice and they know it!!
Andwhy is it prices never go up in the winter. The prices always go up once it gets warm and everybody is ready to travel and use more gas.
just venting!

Yeah, but it's the CONSERVATIVES that's causing this problem...
$2.41 for 87 Octane here in Washington.
well its still a little cheaper with u guys even with the exchange rate, but yah i remember about 2 or 3 yrs ago(maybe longer) when it was .99/gallon, but here it was .65/litre, now theres 3.7 or something litres in a gallon, shows u how much the damm government holds his hands out for
Gas station owner's wife wanted a new car.
I was reading somewhere that the margin on gas is pretty thin and are set by the gas companies. They base the prices on whether other stations are nearby, the amount of traffic, and other factors. The station owners really want you to come in and buy that $1.49 soda or .90 candy bar. That's where the bucks are. A place that only sells gas and nothing else would go out of business pretty quickly. So when the wife needs a new car, they have a sale on sodas or breakfast burritos and hope you buy a candy bar, newspaper, coffee and a bag of chips.

Edit: Try this Slate article from last year. When prices go up, the gas station owners actually get less profit. After all other costs, they might get a penny or two from each gallon served.
