[Healeys] Gas prices

[alfuller194 at gmail.com]

Agreed. The $99.99 cutoff remaining in the software is just lazy programming.  

 

It probably made sense way back when the system was originally set up (likely to limit the station operator or someone else’s liability in the advent of unauthorized card usage), but given the current range of fuel prices, it could easily be raised with the change of a trivial number of lines of code…

Try another station.

One more problem with the increase in fuel prices is the pumps shut off at $99.99. My Audi Q5 takes a bit more so I need to reinsert my credit card. Filling the Healey is probably about $90.

 Y'all missing OP's point here: This isn't a gas price survey--and I doubt Herb really gives a shit about Californians' suffering--it's just (yet another) underhanded dig at California (note he shows no concerns for Canadians, who have been paying even higher prices for decades, and they can only buy liters, which are smaller than gallons). Gas prices are generally higher in the East and West Coasts and, as others have noted $7.50/gal is an outlier that happens on occasion and usually at more remote locations (there's a station on Highway 1 way north of SF that gets in the news with extreme pricing; it's a slog to get tankers up there).

We 'from California' may grumble a bit but, for the most part we are delighted at the visible improvement in our air quality over the last few decades. Having spent my entire 70+ years in CA I can vouch for its improved cleanliness and breathe-ability (sorry, Bakersfield) and, since I generally like to breathe I appreciate it. We Californians find ways to deal with inconveniences; many have 'gone electric,' the rest of us just try to make the best use of whatever petroleum products we need to use. Note I have 4 cars (2 Healeys), a pickup, two old farm tractors, a JD Gator, a zero-turn, rototiller, edger and 3 2-stroke chainsaws, which will be banned in a couple years but I can all but build one from scratch from readily available parts online. We used to burn our orchard trimmings, which severely impacted air quality in the Central Valley, but most now pay more to have them chipped and hauled off, even though burning is still allowed (we Californians are kinda goofy, to be sure).

We do appreciate your concern, Herb. Now, if I could just get 93-octane for my Mustang ...

Bob

Been a static $3.59 in northern VA for weeks.  

Funny, we went to Rochester NY for the eclipse and the price was $3.39. That never happens, it's always more expensive thru PA and NY.

For the last week we around $6.50 per US gal for regular, $7.50+ for premium here in Ontario.  Absolute robbery.

How are you from California dealing with $ 7.50  per gallon of gas. ?
