Default Holy Gas Prices!

As we all know gas prices have been freakin' insane lately, but much more so over the last 3 days. I know I always put 93 in my car because 91 isn't available around me. I live in Bensalem and commute to King of Prussia and back, 5 days a week. I wanted to post the prices and jumps I have noticed, over the last 3 days, and this is for 93 octane.

Monday-
sunoco, on the corner of bristol & galloway rd in bensalem 2.82
sunoco k.o.p rest area 2.82

Tuesday
both the above stations 2.89

Wednesday afternoon-
Gulf, on the corner of bristol rd & neshaminy blvd. 3.03
230 in the afternoon k.o.p. rest area 2.98- not even 8 hours later 3.06
sunoco on bristol rd 2.99
exxon, on the corner of pasqualone & hulmeville, bensalem 3.29!!!!

Now, I only go to the sunoco on bristol rd to get gas, plus they are always the best with prices in the area. I would like to hear gas prices from other areas of PA, and I would also like to hear about how much you have seen prices jump in one day. I saw the neshaminy rest stops on the turnpike jump 17 cents in one day, and that was like 2 weeks ago. Good luck, and happy gas shopping!!

A co-worker was at the pump this morning and watched the price go up 26 cents while he was filling up (he got the old price).

It's gonna feel like Ireland soon! I remember paying almost $50 to fill up my girlfriend's Ford Fiesta ten years ago.

Sunoco and gulf, both on bristol rd 3.24 a gal. for 93
k.o.p. est area 3.36 a gallon went up 38 cents in less than 24 hrs

this is totally insane. I heard the neshaminy rest stops before or after the rt 1 exit on the pa turnpike were at 3.66 last night. does anybody drive by them? if so post the prices on here. they are one of the most expensive around.

Stored the S in the garage. I've been riding my Kawasaki (new) around to work. I fill the 4.5 gal. tank up with 10$. I get approximately the same gas milage as the S. I lvoe thte bike. I'll just have to bundle up when Old Man Winter arrives.


Cheers,
