Curious to know how prices are around the country.

Here in Northern California we're at roughly 2.75 reg, 2.85 mid and 2.95 premium self serve. In more expensive places, like downtown San Francisco, you're still looking at 3.05, 3.15 and 3.25.

There's actually a glut of crude on the world markets right now -- although speculators are still trying to prop the price up. If we get a mild winter in the Northeast as forecast -- things should get a lot better.

just dropped today 2.29 regular 2.39(amoco ultimate, my fuel) was 2.39 yesterday for regular..,

East Central, IL

Wing_Nut

Central PA $2.49 for 93 Octane. Been there for about a week.

Yup....plenty of crude in storage and the domestic refineries operated at record efficiency levels in the last 30 days.
Also the volume of imported refined product has been very healthy.

About 52% of Gulf production is still shut in but demand destruction due to high prices has balanced the reduced supply. The result has been no shortage of supply with either petroleum or natural gas.

So why the high energy prices? Well let's see, record profits at Exxon, record profits at Amerada Hess.......There may be some connection here.

I manage energy for a large industrial. I'm looking at this all day every day.
Markets have plummeted in the last two days and should continue to do so for a while longer until we are hit with significant cold weather.

Thanks for the price info everybody -- and for your insights, Wing_Nut. Glad to see someone calling a spade a spade regarding gouging by the oil companies.

It's pretty funny -- but some energy traders were quoted by Reuters today saying BP's Texas City 500,000 bpd refinery was closed due to hurricane Rita damage -- even though it's in Galveston -- which didn't get much damage at all. The fact is the place had a minor explosion months before Rita arrived -- but nobody bothers to get their stories straight.

Just filled with 2.77 premium at Costco -- so prices are continuing to drop.

Just paid $2.85/gal for Shell 91 here in LA-LA land...and I'm noticing a slight boost in fuel efficiency with the cooler weather as well.
