Today I saw the first station in Pittsburgh to be over $3.00 a gallon. On an average the price here is between $2.85 and $2.89 a gallon. What are the prices in your areas?

Gas prices here is Italy are outrageous. We pay €1,32 per liter. Which is €5,28 per gallon. And in U.S. dollars that is $7.15 per gallon. So I have to say I would love to be paying $2.89 a gallon.

Wow Michelle, that is crazy!!! :eek: I thought around $4 was bad. Now I will not feel so bad fueling up, I'll just think of prices in Italy and be glad I'm paying what I am.
You don't drive too much do you? LOL

Actually hubby drives 35 kms a day just to go to and from work. We are not go go go like some but we spend anywhere from €150,00 - €200,00 a month on gas and that is just him using the car. There are 2 other cars in our household and they spend roughly the same amount and no one drives an over abundance. I would hate to think if we did drive a lot.

$1.30 CDN per litre up here

which is $1.04 per litre US and since there are approx 4 litres in a gallon (or so google says) that would equate $4.16 per gallon :eek:

The cheapest here in CT is $3.04/gallon. That's depressing!!!! Especially since most of the price is Connecticut gas tax! UGH!!! :mad:

This was a really strange trip to OK. Normally, the closer to OK I get, the lower the gas prices get. This time it was inverted.

$2.87 in NY (Normally NY has one of the highest prices, especially in the southern tier), and $3.19 in OK when I got here.

$2.88-$3.07

That's the lowest and highest I saw tonight on my way to my Mom's and back. Most stations are $2.99 and that's what I paid to fill up.

LH: I see the inversion thing here too. Normally, gas is considerably higher towards/in Daytona Beach. Tonight, it was higher close to my house and kept getting lower towards Daytona. :confused: I don't think I've ever seen this happen before.

Wow that's even higher than up here! We are at 1.19 a litre CDN. We were close to 1.30 last summer. Prices will jump with the start of tourist season in a couple weeks, I'm sure!

The lowest price that I've seen it is $3.37 for regular. Most places are at least in the $3.40's, 50's, or even 60's. Gas is always so much more expensive in CA than in the other states in the United States.:(

The governor of the State of Connecticut has proposed to the Legislation that the $.25 PER GALLON gas tax be temporarily suspended from Memorial Day until Labor Day to give the folks in the state a break. I don't know why they can't just lower the gas tax permanently or scrap the tax altogether.

It's $3.19 a gallon in Cincinnati.
Here is Northern Kentucky (1/2 hour away from Cincinnati Ohio) it's $2.94 on cheap gas Tuesday with regular price $3.09 and will probably go up again by the weekend. Peeves me off that Exxon this last quarter made a zillion dollar profit.

Regular unleaded YESTERDAY was $3.19 per gallon.

Regular unleaded TODAY is $3.39 per gallon.

Now explain to me, ANYONE, why there can be such a huge jump overnight? I don't get it! I am no economist, but it just doesn't seem like this is feasible, and yet it seems to happen every week or so here. I have found that the prices usually tend to go up on Thursdays, just before the weekend.

I had gotten an email (chain) encouraging people to NOT fill up today to "stick it to the gas people" but a local economist said that won't work because people will just fill up either yesterday or tomorrow. He also said that the prices are somewhat based on supply and demand. So I guess I need to buy a bike and ride that to work.... or use the local bus system. Seems to me like the prices I pay for gas could actually be higher than what I pay for my car insurance! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek:

Yeah, gas prices totally suck right now. I put gas in over the weekend, and it was $3.65/gallon for the "cheap" stuff. *sigh*

It is so unfair to charge so much for gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Our government doesn't care that they are making a huge profit off the people they are suppose to serve.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!In So. California we are paying for regular $3.39. That is all I can afford. Not supreme for me!!!! :( :mad:

We typically pay €1.15 per litre over here right now so if we are on an exchange rate of $1.36 for every €1.00 I think that is quite expensive here also.

In Pittsburgh, the average is between (for now) $2.94 and $2.99 per gallon. It's a lucky thing my Cobalt isn't a gas guzzler and I live about 50 yards away from work!
