What is the price of gas in your area? In Pittsburgh the average is between $2.95 and $2.99 a gallon. I actually found a station where the price DROPPED a penny! (at $2.92 a gallon)

Wow Richard! Is that regular? We are pretty much just under $3.00 for regular. Unfortunately hubby needs the high test stuff for his high performance engine. :rolleyes: My car is happy with regular thank goodness.

Have you seen the price of CORN OIL lately? ;)

1.23 a litre....with the exchange rate it would be about 4.11 per US gallon in US dollars! Last week, Whitehorse had the highest gas price of any Canadian city. It's even higher in the small communities up here.

Average is about $3.07!!! :eek:
Edited to add that thats the average for the regular cheap gas too, not the premium.

I wish I was paying what some of you are, except Richard of course, thats a big ouchie.

:( It was $2.77 when I came to work today.... but who knows what it will be when I leave here in a few minutes.

My frustration is that it will fluctuate so much in a few hours time. Just Saturday, it was $2.93! How is it that it can change that much in less than 24 hours???

However, I am fortunate, because one of the services offered by my agency is trasnportation for seniors. We have 8 vans on the road all day. When the price starts to creep up, the drivers will alert us and we head out to fill up if necessary!

This is getting ridiculous! My folks may not even come to Indiana to visit this summer (from Florida) because of the cost of flights! :( While it may be cheaper fro them to drive, they are older, and don't feel confortable with that drive.

Right now it's between about $2.78 for ethonal gas (that is subsidized though) up to $3.25 for premium. It just went down 7 cents per gallon too! This is one time where I'm actually kind of glad my husband and I share a car...

San Francisco has most of y'all beat. Self-serve unleaded is *cheap* at $3.25 :eek: at least that was the price this morning. It's probably gone up an arm or a leg by the time I get ready to drive home.

I went to get my car washed yesterday and the line to pay was out the door. They discount the price of gas if you get a car wash - with a wash it was "only" $2.99 a gallon! :eek: :rolleyes:

Anywhere from $2.75 - $2.95 here, depending on which gas station you go to and how close to the strip it is since we're a tourism town they feel the need to jack up prices, regardles :rolleyes:

It has actually come down a little in the past week. THe store where I usually always buy my gas went from $2.85 to $2.79 almost overnight, but they've been known to go up in just a few hours.
