Price of gas on the Cape

[Raider Ronnie]

Anyone here on the cape that can give me an idea what the prices are averaging for premimum?

[nightprowler]

not sure about premium, i have a '93 ford taurus she runs on anything i got....but i paid $2.81 on monday, so add about .20 for the premium?
upper cape region, it was MUCH cheaper over the bridge in buzz bay

[BigBo]

Cheapest premium I saw today was $3.19

So should I pump the close to 150 gallons of premimum into the tank of my boat before heading down ???
It's on empty now, and would rather not trailer down with the extra 800-900 extra lbs !!!

[thefishingfreak]

150 gallons @30 cents more is 45 bucks
i'd fill it here

Ron,
I fished falmouth last night and I checked the gas prices all the way down 28 as I was suprised they were so much higher. Gas was consistanly 25 cents a gallon more. Regular in plymouth yesterday was 2.59, over the bridge it was 2.85.

$2.79 for premium at the Shell (formerly Valero) at the corner of Perry Ave and Main Street in Buzzards Bay. Across the street from Leo's and just a little past Red Top. Worth the detour into BB.

That's today's price. Down 3 cents from yesterday. By tomorrow, it might be down to $2.75.

Like magic--you cross the Bourne Bridge and it's $2.81 a gallon for regular at the Citgo just past the rotary.

3.12 in Orleans for Premium

Ron..Fill it up at home...

[Raider Ronnie]

I just went and pumped 120 gals at a mobil near my house, and they are about 20cents higher than some stations in Walpole that I pass on the way to work and did the math,
I saved close to $80 from what I would have paid at the cheapest gas dock near me marina, and I pumped 93 octane instead of the 89 that they have at the Town river yacht club !

You guys may not want to pump anymore Citgo. It is owned by the
Venezuelan government that wants us all the die a horrible death.


Venezuela Dictator Vows To Bring Down U.S. Government

Venezuela government is sole owner of Citgo gasoline company

Venezuela Dictator Hugo Chavez has vowed to bring down the U.S. government. Chavez, president of Venezuela, told a TV audience : "Enough of imperialist aggression; we must tell the world: down with the U.S. empire. We have to bury imperialism this century."

The guest on his television program, beamed across Venezuela, was Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar activist. Chavez recently had as his guest Harry Belafonte, who called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world."

Chavez is pushing a socialist revolution and has a close alliance with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Regardless of your feelings about the war in Iraq, the issue here is that we have a socialist dictator vowing to bring down the government of the U.S.. And he is using our money to achieve his goal!

The Venezuela government, run by dictator Chavez, is the sole owner of Citgo gas company. Sales of products at Citgo stations send money back to Chavez to help him in his vow to bring down our government.

Take Action

Please decide that you will not be shopping at a Citgo station. Why should U.S. citizens who love freedom be finan cing a dictator who has vowed to take down our government?

Very important. Please forward this to your friends and family. Most of them don't know that Citgo is owned by the Venezuela government.

we just hit $2.15 in south Jersey

This is real interesting
http://www.newjerseygasprices.com/Pr...state=NJ&c=usa

But some stations here in north NJ are still taking advantage of customers at $3.19
thats a $1.04 DIFF !?

how much more proof do we need that we were just getting reamed all summer long. No way that the cheaper crude oil could have entered the supply yet.

[Raider Ronnie]

seems to me that it's Gulf lowering the prics in my neighborhood,
where does gulf get their oil ???

[fishpoopoo]

just a few weeks ago (first week of September), Stop and Shop in Faunce Corner/South Dartmouth had regular (with discount card) for $2.619. I am sure it's come down since then.

I think premium is a $0.15 - $0.20 differential.

[slapshot]

Does the Yamaha 4stroke require premium gas? I thought the manufacturer recommended 87 octane?

[piemma]

$2.59 for reg in Warwick. I run 89 in my Yamaha 90 4 stroke. Manual says it will run on 86(?) octane. It seems to me that I get better mileage and performance with 89.

[Squid kids Dad]

$2.33 in Whitman

a piece on the AM radio about cape gas prizes.. oil company guy was asked about cape prices.. he said, we set our wholesale gallon prize by zones, the cape falls into a high price zone
WTF.. I knew them yuppie bastage trophy homes would send the wrong message out...
lowest wholesale price for regular gas in the state, as of first of the week.. 1.70.. so at 2.32 retail, their doing pretty good, mark up wise....

[CapeDawg]

The Cumbys on 28 in Harwich was $2.59 this afternoon for regular.

[Karl F]

Can't figger why the cumbys in Harwich and Chatham are less for gas than the one in Orleans.. 2.82 there yesterday afternoon... .
two brothers own all of them on the cape, they are all gulf.. they get from same distributor.. but, always cheaper in Chatham and Harwich...
