Still.. I rise.. PART 2

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Wed May 05, 2004 1:41 pm

More gas station rip offs here lol..

A lot of the gas stations around here must have changed their prices overnight because they skyrocketed..

Shell Station on 192 in Kissimmee. {$1.84-$1.94-$2.04}
Chevron Station: 192 in Kissimmee {$1.79-$1.89-$1.99}
Chevron Station: Fortune Rd and Simpson Rd. { $1.87- $1.97- $2.07}
Hess Stations {both on 192 in St Cloud} {$1.83-$1.93-$2.01}
Chevron Station:192 in St Cloud {$1.83-$1.91-$2.01} and {$1.79-$1.89-$1.99}
Texaco on 192 in St Cloud {$1.84-$1.93-$2.02}

There's a list of the gas stations I pass on the bus every morning.. I forgot 1.. There's a Cumberland Farms where prices are $1.86-$1.96-$2.06

our Shell station is always 20 cents higher...its the only station near us, but are boycotting them....ridiculous in a time like this to be so much higher then the already high priced gas stations...

Can you imaine spending 50.00 EVERYTIME you fill up?

I knew when my gas stations here had their prices frozen for 2-3 weeks, we were in trouble.

Because they skyrocketed after being froze for so long

Better not get that bad

It's sad that I can sit here and say that I remember when a gallon of regular was under a dollar. It was probably only a couple years ago

I remember a few Christmases ago, it was 89 cents a gallon for the cheap stuff here. Now it's $2.25. :eek: And it could go HIGHER thanks to the pipeline bust.

Thank goodness I am 15 minutes from the Tax Free Injun Reservation if things get too bad. It is always 16 cents cheaper there, but the gas is hard on your engine
