NH Gas Prices

nj2nh · 12-05-2007, 05:12 PM

It seems that NJ really is good for something. Our gas is around $2.90 at the expensive places! The cheap stuff on the highway at the no-name stations is running around $2.75.

At least I can afford to buy the gas to get the heck out of here!

Hehehehe.

Is there any thread on this site that doesn't get turned into conservative v liberal situation? Very unpleasant to read. As if you're going to change a mind ... .

But, in keeping with one of the original questions, try this explaination: ....http://cartalk.com/content/features/premium/

We should get a break on gas here in NJ since we get to enjoy the refineries on the Turnpike. I love driving from exit 18 - exit 10!

$2.93 in Rochester and holding steady for the past few weeks.

Gee I don't see what you all are all fired up about, Gas prices in Conn. are very reasonable, 3.13 to 3.23 per gallon depending on whether you need it or not. I am told that is cheap compared to say England.

You seem to be forgetting that the US dollar is cheap in value compared to England's British Pound.

Weirs Beachs new Cumbies is down to $2.85 yesterday, and exit 20's on its way to $2.80!

I shopped at Shaw's yesterday and received a coupon for 10 cents off per gallon at Irving...i believe they give 10 cents off per every $50 you spend at shaws and you can combine coupons when you go to Irving. Also, to help, it seems shaws in Gilford prices are starting to come back down to reality and be a little more in line with Hannafords.

Gas prices, you talk about gas prices?

Lets talk diesel fuel for a second. Oh that's also home heating oil!! Same stuff. It's just the on road fuel doesn't have the red dye in it.

Someone please explain this to me. In 2003 I purchased my Ford F250 with the 6.0 diesel. Back then the price of FUEL was on average 10 to 20 cents less than unleaded regular GAS. back then about $1.29/gal. Now look around. Its 10 to 20 cents higher than high test gas.

What has made the cost of fuel go so much higher than gas? There is one factor that can account for part of this. The Federal Govt. has mandated that the fuel be “ultra - low - sulfur.” But this cannot be the whole reason.

As for fuel mileage? My truck gets, on average 20/gal. around town and 22 on the big roads. Not bad for a 7,000 pound truck. I get 17/gal. when I pull the boat. So I still get good mileage even towing.

This major increase does not just cost me but all of us as all the goods we purchase use FUEL to get to market. WE pay the transportation cost and therefor pay the higher cost of diesel fuel. We hear so much about the cost of gas but the cost of diesel fuel is also affecting us all. Why doesn’t the news media report this?

Just wondering????????

I second you ToW on the diesel costs, not that I use it but I've wondered how it went from less then gas to more.

I'll make you feel a little better though. Your 17 MPG towing is about the same as my Ranger gets on gas not towing anything, but at least you have room for 4 normal sized humans!
