Are you noticing longer gas lines?

[demgurl]

I have recently noticed that if a gas station, in my city, has gas for under $2, there seems to be a constant line about three cars deep. I never saw this when gas was $1.30-$1.40. My husband seems to brush off my observations, but I keep seeing it. Most gas stations around here are between $2.11-$2.25 and so everyone seems to flock to the $1.99 gas. Have you noticed this or is it just me?

[villager]

1. you have gas under two bucks?

we'll never see that again here in SoCal...

[neuvocat]

3. Maybe under 2.50.

[notadmblnd]

2. There's no $1.99 gas in my town

prices did drop about twentyfive cents but it's still over $2.00 a gallon.

[babylonsister]

4. I haven't seen gas for $1.99 here (TX) for awhile so

have nothing to compare it to. The lowest price I've seen is $2.09.

[demgurl]

16. Like I said, in most places it is between $2.11 - $2.25.....

but there are a couple that have this price, only a couple. Everyone else seems to be doing average business but the $1.99/gallon gas stations are just doing record business!

5. I am.

It seems every time I try to fill up I have to wait or maneuver around others to the one pump that's open. I wonder if people are topping off when they are 1/4-1/2 tank down thinking they'll pay even more if they wait until they actually need gas. :shrug:

[n2mark]

11. Where do you buy your gas?

I think you live not far from here, gas in my area is 2.39 a gal.

[City Lights]

13. That sounds about right.

I'm in the Phoenix area (I'd rather not narrow down my location further than that in public ;-)).

[n2mark]

18. Well

you live further than I would drive to save on gas. Would you just send some of the cheaper gas my way?

[City Lights]

20. Check your PM.

:hi:

[happynewyear]

6. they get shorter when it hits $2.85 a gallon

I've just happened to have noticed.

Fuck you America they are saying to us in a *nice* way.

:kick:

[all.of.me]

7. gas has not been under $2 in a while here in NM

but it did go down 4 cents this morning, from 2.43 to 2.39 for regular.

whooppee, eh?

[liveoaktx]

8. Where do you live? I'll come join the longer lines for under 2 bucks!

[demgurl]

14. I'm I Greensboro, NC. Come on over!!!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

26. Where is gas this cheap in Greensboro?

I work nearby, that would be better than the 2.21 I'm paying now.

[demgurl]

28. I assume you are from this area?

The Sheetz gas station at the corner of Wendover and I-40 and they have caused the two gas stations across the street from them to come down as well. Mostly I see the lines at Sheetz.

Also, the Sheetz gas station that is newly put up at the corner of Bridford Parkway and College Road.

My friend was saying her husband said there is also a gas station on Dolly Madison that has $1.99 gas. I am not sure which one though. Hope that helps you.

Long lines at discount stations..

Stations here in Birmingham, like Racetrac, Cowboy's Fuel Centers, and Flying J have lines because their gas is usually $.10 cheaper per gallon than competitors.

9. I always wait in line, but Costco is just like that.

If I'm not headed over to Costco I go to Am/Pm and they're almost as crowded, but without the orderly lines.

I'm a bit jealous of the $2/gallon gas, we were really happy to pay $2.35/gallon, and that was in BFE, Nevada for 85 octane.

[LizW]

22. No lines where I bought today

but the pump clicked off when it reached $35.00 and wouldn't let me pump more, even though my tank wasn't full.

I've never had that happen before.

I paid with a debit card, btw.

[ogradda]

10. You have gas that cheap?

Shit I'd be in line right along with 'em.

[dweller]

12. i'd expect it to be 10 deep at under $2/gal

but there is NO shortage, regardless of what some would want us to believe.

local news channel begins the news at 6am announcing the lowest prices, usually at the outskirts of town in the boonies.

Paid $2.169/g here and that was the cheapest locally.

15. No, but the gas station was out of reg and mid grade today

I saw the signs taped to all the pumps and started to laugh, recalling both the flags during the shortages in the 70s and also the glowing orange reminder that if there wasn't any gas, I'd be pushing the car to the next station.

[demgurl]

17. Wow! I have never heard of this before. Anyone else?

Are there other gas stations with signs saying they are partially/fully out of gas.

[dweller]

19. okay, where was this?

?

[Fescue4u]

21. Cant say that I have

But its a rare occasion that I have to wait in line for gas anyway.

[meisje]

23. 1.88 here columbusgasprices.com

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Nope. I've noticed more bikes and less busy stations...honestly.

But I live in a bedroom community.

[Chemical Bill]

25. No, I run biodiesel in my VW

I drive an hour, take 6 extra 5-gallon cans, and buy enough for 4-6 weeks. I have yet to wait at those pumps.

27. Gas prices from $1.92-2.07 in central and southern MN

this weekend and today.

We now feel good because it is "so low" after a couple weeks pushing $2.50. Nice scam to make $1.90 feel suddenly cheap again.

[demgurl]

29. Here is a way to find cheap gas prices in YOUR area.....

Go to http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/gasprices/states/index.shtml and click on your particular area. It will come up with local places you can get cheaper gas. (for major cities anyway!) Hope that helps you all. I feel for everyone who is paying so much more than I am right now. We have to stick together and help each other.

[uncle ray]

30. it's because

when prices rise, people start putting in only ten or twenty dollars worth, instead of filling up, so more stops for fuel are necessary.

[RebelOne]

31. It's $1.99 for regular at most of the gas stations

in my area. I'm in Georgia, just northwest of Atlanta.
