Premium at the station nearest my house is $4.05 in Ventura County, CA.
Isn't there a law about raising gas prices (once per every 24 hours)? Or is that only in NJ?
Since I posted the previous last Friday, our unleaded has gone up to $3.05/gallon.I got gas this afternoon at Smith's. I'm in Northwest Montana.
Unleaded $2.99/gallon
Mid Grade $3.09/gallon
Premium $3.19/gallon
Diesel $3.45/gallon
Mid grade is new to me.![]()
I was wondering that too. NJ Turnpike is 3.03 till Thursday.
$3.46 gassed up tonight western Chicagoland suburbs.![]()
not to make light of the fuel prices BUT my dh sent me this lol
Think a $4 gallon of gas is expensive? Consider the prices of these other fluids that people buy every day without complaint.
Lipton Iced Tea, 16 oz @ $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon
Diet Snapple, 16 oz @ $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon
Gatorade, 20 oz @ $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray, 16 oz @ $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon
Evian water, 9 oz @ $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon (!)
Wite-Out, 7 oz @ $1.39 = $25.42 per gallon
Brake fluid, 12 oz @ $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon
Scope, 1.5 oz @ $0.99 = $84.48 per gallon
Pepto-Bismol, 4 oz @ $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon
Vicks NyQuil, 6 oz @ $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon
But heres the kicker:
HP 02 Black Ink Cartridge, 16 ml $18 online = $4,294.58 per gallon.
Yes, thats right: inkjet printer ink goes for over four thousand dollars a gallon. Whats in there, anyway gold filings?
So the next time youre at the pump, be glad your car doesnt run on water, Scope, Wite-Out, Pepto-Bismol, NyQuil, or heaven forbid printer ink!
.
OK, but who uses 15 gallons of inket printer ink each week?
