$4 gas is here!

[KamaAina]

okay, everything costs more on Maui, even more than on O'ahu, and this is especially true of gas 'cause we have refineries and they don't -- but you know it's coming where you are soon...

He doesn't expect any relief as fuel prices continue upward on Maui and have already soared past the $4-a-gallon mark in rural areas.

The average gasoline price for unleaded regular in Wailuku, the county seat located only a few miles from the fuel transshipment port of Kahului Harbor, appears poised to set a new town record and edge past $4 a gallon....

In rural areas of Maui County, gasoline prices have already climbed well over the $4 mark, including $4.62 a gallon for regular at Lanai City Service, the only public gas station on the Pineapple Isle. Premium was $4.69 on Lanai and diesel was $5.07 per gallon.

Prices yesterday for regular gasoline were $4.39 at a station operated by the Hotel Hana-Maui, $4.33 at Lucky's Gas Station in Maunaloa, Molokai, and $4.13 at Rawlins Chevron Service in Kaunakakai.

1. I just got back from town ($4.19 a gallon for diesel)

I was doing my monthly shopping (10% off day!) and noted that diesel was $4.19 a gallon.

:dem: :kick:

6. Same thing here, up from $4.09 yesterday. Ten cents in one day.

2. I paid $3.71 in downtown LA yesterday.

Can someone please tell me why we aren't going after these oil shilling motherfuckers? When Bush took office, oil was $23 a barrel. Now it's $100 a barrel and pushing the $125 mark. Investigate the god damn oil companies and bring them to trial now!

5. Yeah. Time for George to "jawbone" those prices down.

Didn't...didn't he promise to do that or something?

[Initech]

9. George's promises do not mean shit.

It seems like we have George Costanza in charge of our country, not George Bush.

3. It's been here in the East Bay for a couple of weeks

At least for Premium.

[winggirle]

4. wow....

gas in Victorville, CA is $3.51 but in some places it $3.39 still and $3.41, $3.49
it depends on the area if it's poor or rich...

[PA Democrat]

7. SHHH! Don't tell Bush. He likes life in his protective little bubble.

[catnhatnh]

8. I guess if you live on Lanai,

you better get a couple of Cuban illegals to sell you some of their technology on how to convert a "57 Chevy for amphibious operations...

10. spring break is in the air...absolutely criminal with exxon/mobil making record profits

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. $4.50 for a loaf of bread today at the market in California

I was stunned, absolutely stunned. And this was at the cheaper Stater Brothers market.

[Seedersandleechers]

12. AND I ASK

What are you driving now? We all knew this was coming.

[taterguy]

13. I've been using a bicycle for most transportation since 1991

I felt a little silly during the first Gulf War chanting "No Blood For Oil" while being a voracious consumer of oil.

[Seedersandleechers]

14. I choose

to live in the city, less then a mile to work. I love to walk so for me it's perfect. I do drive a small five speed that gets good mileage-tho I don't need much.

[KamaAina]

18. One of these sporty little numbers

(*-someone else is actually driving :-) )

[katty]

15. we have it too in LA, Cal

[halliburtonsux]

16. Someone should tell Bush - he's unaware.

[Peace Teacher]

17. Those on fixed incomes are really in a fix!

My retired parents will definitely be staying home for everything that is not an emergency. They will not be able to go anywhere with these prices.

[amborin]

19. AND: public trans use is UP, driving DOWN, YEAH!!!!!

folks: we need to let gasoline prices SOAR

give subsidies to the less economically advantaged

this is the ONLY way folks will pressure govt to develop an electronic car....etc.....
