They just said on WGN news this morning that AAA did a survey (i'm assuming it was the Chicagoland area one) in which people said that they will consolidate shopping trips and stay in to offset gas costs before they would consider public transit or carpooling.

If you have a LEGITIMATE from of public transit (i.e. a train or reliable bus a couple miles or less from your house), and you don't use it for whatever stupid reason you have (smelly, poor people, too many people, boo hoo), I DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR YOU when you complain about gas prices rising. I absolutely do not.

I'd delete this post for being so painfully off-topic, except that I'm not sure it is off topic, because I don't know what "drillingoffshare" or "Alasko"s are

In the Chicago area yesterday the average was $4.07 a gallon... However- In downtown Chicago (the Loop) price is up to $4.49 a gallon. $5.00 a gallon this summer sure is sounding 'real'. Quickly getting to the point about thinking before running to the store to pick up one ore two items...Planning each car trip.

I saw 4.21 this morning at a gas station at Ogden and Cass... most others seem to be around 4, but I wonder if they're about to jump too.

The damned "dial a price" signs makes it awfully easy for the stations to jack prices up for the weekend and down on Monday. The Citgo at Ogden & Wilmette Ave a few blocks away from the Shell that aragx saw asking $4.21 went up to $4.09 Saturday and was at $3.94 last night. (Unless that $4.21 was at the Jewel gas station, maybe they are running one of those promotions with 10 cents off per gallon if you spend $50 at the store, Dominicks used to run that in Romeoville a lot...) Same damned gas had to be sitting underground The 15 cents won't break me, but I'm guessing they have somebody doing the math that says weekend buyers don't spend money on soda and chips the way that weekday buyer do and they want to capture more of that market...

Paid $4.15 the other day in St. Charles. Im boycotting any gas station I see. I go to cig stores for cigs now, and absolutely refuse to buy anything but gas from a gas station. Ive been driving slower and shifting earlier, and seeing record mileage from my car. Im gonna make those communistic desert rats suffer, too. Screw em.
