gas prices in your area?

[davidpizzica]

Has anyone reached the $4.00 mark in gas prices yet? In Pittsburgh we're kind of lucky in that the highest I've seen here is $3.85 a gallon. At the station I usually go to it was low at $3.75. (low?) What's the price in your area?

[Freedom]

I paid $3.77 per gal two days ago. I get the lowest grade; 87 octane.

The highest grade (premium or whatever they call it) have been over $4 for 2 weeks already. :eek:

[Jessika]

Highest so far for regular was $3.68, though I guarantee it'll be over $4/gallon by this weekend... It's leveled out to about $3.64 here though, hasn't been below $3.64 in almost a week and a half now. Man I won't complain about $2/gallon prices anymore...

FUNNY how gas prices always seem to skyrocket a week or two before a major traveling holiday, though they "claim" it's coincidence... :rolleyes:

Diesel, though, is nearly $4.50 a gallon here!! :eek:

[jenluckenbach]

$3.75 (and up) for "regular". I think it is disgusting. :mad:

[Taz_Zoee]

This morning I paid about $3.98 (or around there) for regular. And premium was well over $4. It's been this way for months now. :(
This is why I need a job closer to home. *sigh*

[Casper]

The last time I filled up in town, which was yesterday, it was at $3.65.

[Sirrahsim]

This afternoon it was $3.68 here.

[Moesha]

Filled up for $3.73 today. Could have gotten it for 3.69, but I get 5% back using my Shell mastercard.

[Daisy and Delilah]

About $3.75-3.85 in most places. I can drive across town and pay $3.72 but then I've wasted two gallons of gas:eek:

I also think this is disgusting. How can some people afford to get to work every day? It's a sad situation in this country.:(

[chocolatepuppy]

$3.77 here a couple days ago.

[Cincy'sMom]

I've seen it as high as $3.95 here, but I think we are back down to $3.85. We use our Kroger card and get $.20 off a gallon, so the highest I have paid so far is about $3.75, but still too much!!

[Jessika]

I also think this is disgusting. How can some people afford to get to work every day? It's a sad situation in this country.:(
I often wonder that myself... I have a 60 mile round-trip to and from school every day, I use 1/4 tank of gas every day... have to fill up every ~4 days and it cost me anywhere from $45 - $50 to fill up completely... that's around $100 - $110 in gas a WEEK... just for school, not even taking into account needing to run to walmart, or take the dogs to the park or visiting my parents... it's really hard :(

[Glacier]

We reached the 4 dollar mark a long time ago. Right now, gas is 1.40 a litre for regular which works out to 5.60 a gallon. No need to convert since the US and Canadian dollar are essentially at par. It's 130 bucks to fill my truck, 80 for the van.

[shais_mom]

One station was $3.99 Friday evening with the rest of them hovering right at $3.88

a co-worker has a friend who her -her husband and her son all work about 25 min (25 miles) one way and none of them can ride together - they are spending $1000 a month in gas.
I heard Saturday it will be b/n $5-$7 by Labor Day!
**crazy**

[joycenalex]

i came back from a trip to houston texas, prices there yesterday were $3.60, here in columbus today it's 3.79. tomorrow i'm riding the bus to work for the first time $1.50 each way. timing to work is okay, and i get fresh air;)

[Craftlady]

$3.77 to $3.89 per gallon around our area. Depends on the station.

[Suki Wingy]

most of you are LUCKY! We hit $4/gal about two weeks ago. :rolleyes::mad:
Although I filled up at the Shell in Gurnee today and it was only $3.89 though!

[krazyaboutkatz]

It's been $4 and over for the medium and premium grades for quite a while now. I only buy the regular and the cheapest that I've seen is now $3.91. I'm sure it'll go up before Memorial Day. I fill up when I'm down to half of a tank so it won't cost me as much to fill up. I'm lucky that I don't live too far away from work and that I only need to fill up about every 2 weeks or so. I've heard that it won't be too long before gas is $8 a gallon.:eek:

[kittycats_delight]

I could only wish for $4.00 a gallon we are currently paying 1,47 euro a liter which is basically 5,88 euro a gallon which is $9.21 a gallon. :eek:

[Medusa]

We hit $4 a gallon a couple of months ago but it came down quickly. Now it's around $3.79 a gallon. I use my Giant Eagle card and, by the time I'm ready to fill up, I usually get $.80 or more off a gallon because of the $.20 per gallon discount. Sometimes I fill up nearly for free. I don't eat out often and I entertain a lot so I cook a lot and that gets me more gas perks.

[Freedom]

Vespa opened a shop here about a year ago. Business has TAKEN OFF in the past month for them!

[Pembroke_Corgi]

The cheapest here is around $3.65/ gallon. I always buy the lowest grade, so I have no idea what the other kinds are- way more expensive I guess!

[cassiesmom]

I paid $3.99 for regular unleaded yesterday (Cook County, but in the suburbs). The closest filling station to where I work, which is in Chicago, was at $4.19.

[slick]

$1.35 per litre.
Given that there are 3.78 litres to the US gallon and that our money is almost at par, that would translate to $5.10 per gallon.:eek::eek:

[moosmom]

What I don't understand is...Gas is gas, plain and simple. So why does it cost higher in some places and lower in others?? I know there are taxes, and CT is THE highest taxed state in the union. In my opinion, gas should cost the same no matter WHERE you get it.

I also think the Governor of CT should cut the residents here some slack on the CT gas tax as it IS high, at least for the summer so people can go out and enjoy the weather. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

*sigh*:(

[Lady's Human]

Gas ISN'T gas (Thank you EPA for not coming up with a formulation that works adequately everywhere).

There are many different blends required by area. The gas you buy in LA isn't the same as the gas you buy in CT. Different additives are required, along with different oxygenation compounds, etc., depending on which EPA area you are in. Last time I looked (it's been a while, haven't really looked into it since the last gas price spike) there were 50 or so different formulations required.

A gas tax holiday sounds nice, but it's political feel good BS. The money (much like the "economic stimulus" money) is going to have to come from somewhere else to pay for the "holiday". Being that the government produces nothing, they have nothing to pass the costs on through, so BINGO.....we wind up paying higher taxes elsewhere to cover the gap left by the "holiday".

TANSTAAFL.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Ours was $3.79 this morning. I always look at the price when we pass a station even though I'm on the public bus. I couldn't afford to drive my car even if it was running. :(

[pitc9]

I've not seen $4.00 around here yet, but I saw $3.89 and $3.83 on my way into work today. I'm sure by the weekend it will be up to $4.00 per gallon.
:(

I'll use up entire tank of gas going to the Bark Park this weekend in Findlay. It Costs me just under $60 for a tank of gas.

[Pam]

I is about $3.67 here for regular which I use. Here's a link to a neat site that gives you prices which they update. Just plug in your zip code.

http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations.aspx?zip=&src=Netx

Top cars for gas savings (none of which I own) :( ..
* 1. Toyota Prius
* 2. Honda Civic Hybrid
* 3. Toyota Camry Hybrid
* 4. Ford Escape Hybrid
* 5. Toyota Yaris

[Kirsten]

Here in Germany, gas has become VERY expensive. 2,42 $ US/liter; one Liter is 0,26 Gallons. So, if I got that right, 1 gallon would be 9,60 $ US here!!!

Kirsten

[RedHedd]

It was $3.99 yesterday in San Francisco; today I paid $4.03 for self-serve unleaded :(

[Suki Wingy]

I knew that Europe usually paid more for gas but I wasn't aware it was that much! I really wish I lived closer to all of the places I need to get to.

[Jessika]

I could only wish for $4.00 a gallon we are currently paying 1,47 euro a liter which is basically 5,88 euro a gallon which is $9.21 a gallon. :eek:

Please correct me if I'm wrong but don't also overseas they pay certain taxes with their gas, like I know in MO you get lower gas prices since we have to pay to license and title our vehicles when we buy them, but my understanding is that in other countries you don't have to pay to license and/or title your car but pay for it through gas instead?

If that isn't the case then I have no idea where I got that then lol

Oooh, or in some places they don't have to pay personal property tax but instead pay higher gas taxes to make up for it? Maybe thats what I'm thinking of. I believe that is in the US though, some states you don't have to pay personal property but pay higher gas prices.

[Lady's Human]

The taxes on gas have nothing to do with other fees in the state. High service/high tax states have high taxes.

Im MA, for instance, you pay sales tax on the vehicle on purchase, annual excise tax to the town on the value of the vehicle, gas tax, property taxes, sales tax on the gas, and annual registration fees.

In other news related to gas prices, the idiots in Congress are going to try to sue OPEC.....:rolleyes:

Guys, here's a hint......if the entity doesn't exist within your borders, you're going to have a tough time even finding a court to take the case.

They walk among us............and in this case we've elected them to leadership.

Time to clean house.

[Cinder & Smoke]

They walk among us ............ and in this case we've elected them to leadership.

Time to clean house.

We need a New Broom ... the old one isn't working so well ...

Example - My wondrous State of Ohio:

The previous power trust had an Attorney General accused of all sorts of corruption,
shady deals, favoritism ... who coasted along till the last election.

Enter the New Guy - campaigned as the Straight Shooter who was gonna "Clean House"
and be the Good Cop - root out all the *evil* in Ohio. He got elected.

"New" AG Marc Dann lasted a year anna half ... till the Word got out that HE
wasn't much better than his predecessor!
Seems ole Marc had hired a few not-so-swifties as his right handers, personally ignored
some sexual harassment situations in the ole AG's own office ...
AND 'forgot' he was married with kids.

Took a while, but we just got rid of HIM ... who's NEXT??

And we wonder why gas prices are so high!
:mad:

Well, I know we have to pay the 'bollo' on the car every year by the end of January. I am pretty sure that is the same as licensing. And we had to pay some type of fee, I can't remember what it is called, when we bought the car. Also every 2 years we have to have the car put under revision to ensure it meets the EU standards for emissions (changing of all filters etc) and drivablity. We also have something called 'bollino blu' which is a tag that you have to have on your car to say it was emissions tested and is within the standard. The 'bollino blu' is different the revision though. Without a 'bollino blu' on your vehicle you cannot drive within the city. And if caught doing so you will be fined and/or the car can be impounded.

[chocolatepuppy]

$3.77 here a couple days ago.

Yesterday- $3.81:rolleyes:

[joycenalex]

all day yesterday, rumors swirled around in columbus that the price would go to over $4. i oipped my tank, for $13 at $3.67. and i was happy to make sure it was filled b/4 going to the bark park in findley

[lute]

$3.89-$3.98. I drive 20 miles to work and back every day. It's almost costing me to work.

[moosmom]

:(:( Looks like I'll be staying home this summer. Although my best friend has a beach house in Niantic, so I usually go there for a few days. THAT is my vacation.

[Marigold2]

$3.98 here in the Cleveland, Ohio area.:eek:

[moosmom]

Highest I've seen here is $4.09. UGH!!!:mad: It's just too EFFIN high!!!

[NicoleLJ]

In my area currently it is $1.25 a liter but we get a 3 cent discount at Safeway so only pay $1.22. Which works out to $4.57 a gallon. It costs about $125 to fill our suburban but luckily it is pretty good on gas and can go a fair distance on that compared to some suburbans.
Nicole

[Grace]

Southeastern Michigan - $3.99 this morning.

[RedHedd]

i oipped my tank, for $13 at $3.67.
oipped? :confused:What does that mean?

:confused:

[Carol Bulger1944]

We are in the Tacoma, Wa. area and gas here is $3.81 and up depending on where you by it. We all need a break from the high prices!!! A big rip off...

[shais_mom]

oipped? :confused:What does that mean?

:confused:

I think it was probably a typo - and she meant -
Filled?
or TOPPED

[Grace]

Southeastern Michigan - $3.99 this morning.


I spoke too soon. It has gone up to $4.09 this afternoon. Time to buy a bike?

[Cincy'sMom]

I spoke too soon. It has gone up to $4.09 this afternoon. Time to buy a bike?

I've heard NW Ohio isn't far behind you and should hit $4.00 by tomorrow. I wish there was a good bike route to work....but it is either highway, or inner city. Not a good option either way!!!

[Donnaj4962]

Went from $3.83 yesterday to $3.99 today!

Fortunately, I filled up on Saturday, and I paid $3.75. I am so lucky that I get good gas mileage, and I am able to plan shopping around drives to and from work. So a tank of gas for me can last for up to 3 weeks! I know I am lucky.... I don't know how many can afford to work anymore!

I have considered taking the bus. And I have also condsidered using my tax stimulus check to buy a bike to get back and forth. Unfortunately, I often have to drive to a meeting during the day for work, so many days it won't work for me to ride the bus or a bike.

It maddens me how the price can jump by 20 cents or more overnight! :mad:

[Jessika]

Went from $3.64 to $3.79 today... man what a "coincidence" right before a holiday... :rolleyes:

FORTUNATELY a friend at school's friend works at QT and texted her telling her to fill up, so I called hubby and had him fill up the car... good thing cause not even two hours later the prices went up. I wasn't even able to fill up the truck, oh well at least we got one vehicle good to go!

[Grace]

Holy Cow!!

Just now, on the NBC Nightly News, it was predicted that gas would be $5 - 6 per gallon, by the end of the summer!!

[shepgirl]

went up to $ 1.33 today....very high. Costs us about $250.00 a week to use the van. We could do with a little bit of saving but we go where we have to when we have to. We even use the van to get to some nice trails to run the dogs and we still enjoy riding for the enjoyment of it.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

We paid $3.80 yesterday.

[k9krazee]

$4.19 this afternoon in Northern Michigan.
A steady $3.99/$3.98 around me.

[Craftlady]

$3.77 to $3.89 per gallon around our area. Depends on the station. ( As of my 5/19/08 post)
Now it's up to $4.04 a gallon today 5/22/08. :(

[DJFyrewolf36]

$4.09 today...up from $3.93 yesterday :mad:
Seems to be the average for around here too.
I'm really glad I can put a couple of gallons in my car and go for a week or two lol.

[CountryWolf07]

And back in the 1990s when gas was much cheaper.. I wish.

[Catty1]

May 22:

$4.50 gallon in my town here - I saw $1.29 a litre in the city, which is about $4.88 a gallon.

Here in Cochrane, I get 5 cents per litre against my grocery bill. I am glad that this station has kept it at $1.19 per litre (4.50).

At least I have a Toyota, and my drive to work is mostly highway speeds - this last tank of gas I got 574 km to 40 litres. That's 356.67 miles and 10.667 gallons.

33.45 MPG...yuck...that car can do better! I had a half day of city rush hour traffic this afternoon, though...

[Karen]

Depending on the station, the "regular" is anywhere from $3.83 to $3.99 per gallon (within a mile of each other), I haven't seen any station brave enough to put $4 for Regular up.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

It was $3.85 at the station we passed here today! :(

[ramanth]

Williamston, MI is at $4.19 today.

Yay!!

[smokey the elder]

We crossed the $4 milestone a couple of weeks ago, but Westchester is $$$! I have to fill up twice a week because of my commute. I think that I'm going to buy a compact, and the rescue group will have to do without my Matrix to schlep stuff to events (unless they want to start paying me for gas!:eek:)

[Suki Wingy]

It was up to $4.19 here in town yesterday evening. :(

[moosmom]

$25.00 for 6 gallons of gas today. Boy is THAT depressing!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

$25.00 for 6 gallons of gas today. Boy is THAT depressing!!

So do I !!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Once upon a time it cost me less than $20 to fill my car

At current prices a fill up on my tank costs....


$34 :mad:

I know I have no room to complain as I have a car that gets about 45 mpg lol (50 if its running really good, 55 if I have a tailwind :cool:) and a fillup DOES last me over a month if I don't go out of town but still YARGH!
I have HUGE road trips I have to take this summer. I was going to rent a car for them but forget that! I'll just put the work into mine lol.
Poor little car already has made a 600 mile trip and a 400 mile trip since I moved here.
I drive too much :p

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

$3.97 was the last I saw.

*sigh* =[

[shais_mom]

$3.97 was the last I saw.

*sigh* =[

yup - I just filled up for $3.97

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

My cousin was down towards Milwaukee and she said when she filled up before she drove home it was $4.15. :eek:

[shepgirl]

Went up to 2.01 / litre today. We filled up last night before the prices jumped. For some reason there's always a low before a high and then it levels. I keep hoping someone will find a solution. Wish we could get a cheaper car than a van, might make us feel better, we do spend a lot on gas.

[carole]

we are in litres here, does anyone know how many litres in a us gallon, we are up to $2.06 per litre,prob going up to @2.09 very soon, it never stops does it? america used to have one of the cheapest gas prices around, i remember us always commenting on that in NZ,but i guess it is getting more expensive by the day there too.:eek:

[k9krazee]

Saw $4.25 earlier today.

[lute]

It's $4.09 here now.

[Jessika]

Once upon a time it cost me less than $20 to fill my car

At current prices a fill up on my tank costs....


$34 :mad:

My car takes about $45 and my truck can take $65 - $75 depending on how empty they are

:(

[Husky_mom]

where I live gas is 7.8 (pesos) per liter.... and to convert that to a per gallon and in dlls... it would be like

1 dll = 10.70 pesos (aprox)
and 1 gallon is 3. something liters

I´m brain dead on maths.... so I´ll levae those conversions to you LOL

on another forum someone posted this link which I thought was cool

DANG IT! I knew I shouldn't have moved from Branson MO! Gas is the cheapest range in the nation there LOL Darn it!!!

[shais_mom]

It's $3.99 for regular.
I filled up before Leaving Findlay today at the local Kroger and with my Kroger card I saved .10 a gallon!! so I filled up for $3.89 for regular!

[Catty1]

Isabel:

1 liter = 0.264 172 052 36 gallon [US, liquid]

Looks like $2.82 a gallon! Someone else try this...or we're takin' a convoy to Mexico! :D

[Suki Wingy]

Nice, I'm red on that map. I saw $4.24 yesterday. Right now it costs $10 to get to the barn and back. Once it hits $15 or so a trip I'm going to have to stop cleaning my barn and just start paying for my lessons.

[joycenalex]

oipped? :confused:What does that mean?

:confused:

yep, very poor typist:(. and some days are worse then others. thank you for spell check on the google toolbar. ;) and of course, not to overlook majic cats "help" on crossing the keyboard to get to the cursor. filled up yesterday for $3.79.

[Sonia59]

In France one litre is 1.5 €, which is 2.25 $. As 1 gallon is 3.78 litres (if I am correct), then it would be ....8.5 $!!!!!!

I think this price is about the same in many European countries.

[kittycats_delight]

reached 1,5 euro here a few days ago. So, that would be 5,67 euro a gallon. According to XE.com (currency exchange website) that would be $8.86 a gallon here in Italy. The stuff just keeps going up and up.

[Grace]

S.E. Michigan - up to $4.15 this afternoon.

We bought a new car last week - Ford Fusion. Sticker said average for in-town is 20/mpg and 28 on the highway.

We went down to Findlay, Ohio for the Pet Talk gathering on Sunday. About 230 miles round trip. We got 35 MPH - needless to say, I am very happy. That's about 15 miles more to the gallon than with our old Explorer.

[carole]

I guess we are not having it as tough as the Brits, i heard today they are paying about 3.15 a litre, and it takes a truckie to fill up his truck 160 pounds day, they had a huge protest, good on them,along with the canadians we are still having to pay more, we worked it out the US is paying around 1.25 litre and we are paying 2.09, so i guess gas is still relatively cheap in the US, but yes we are all feeling the pinch that's for sure.

[Jessika]

Jumped up to $3.90 today. DEPRESSING, went up over a dollar in less than a month here!!!!!

Lucky I got "lost" taking back roads home from school to try to get around traffic (ended up adding an HOUR on to my trip... never again!) and passed by a gas station selling gas $0.20 cheaper so maybe getting lost wasn't completely in vain, I filled up, of course!!

[shepgirl]

As of today our gas hit 5.18 a gallon. It costs us about $110.00 for a fill up.We usually fill up 2X per week. People say it will keep climbing throughout the summer, hope not but I guess we have no control over this.

We do, we really do, its just not enough people are pro-active enough to make a change... :( And no, boycotting a gas station for one day is NOT going to make a difference because we have to fill up eventually!

[AllAmericanPUP]

$3.99 here
takes me $122 to fill up my truck from empty

[Medusa]

Jumped up to $3.90 today. DEPRESSING, went up over a dollar in less than a month here!!!!!



Depressing is right. Even milk went up $.50 a gallon. Just trying to keep up in gas, milk and cat food is a real challenge these days.

[RedHedd]

Up for $4.25 for self-serve unleaded here in San Francisco. Cost me almost $40 to fill up my little commute-mobile - I remember when I could fill her up for less than $10 :mad:

[Suki Wingy]

I just put $60 of gas in my Jeep and it filled the tank 3/4 the way up. I think that's the fullest it's been in about a year.

[Pam]

Depressing is right. Even milk went up $.50 a gallon. Just trying to keep up in gas, milk and cat food is a real challenge these days.

The gas station closest to me is now $3.99 for regular although some others are still a little less. The last time I bought milk it was $3.99 for a gallon. How about that - milk and gas at the same price! Who woulda thunk! :eek:

[Moesha]

I got gas for $3.75 today. Unfortunately I'd just filled up yesterday for $3.82 in my town. Today it had gone up to $3.89 and there are actually stations selling it for $3.94. So even though it only took 3 gallons, I decided to go ahead and refill it up again.

[Husky_mom]

I guess I´ll fill up while I can..... sooner or later we´ll be the same way....

for a gallon of milk we pay around 44 pesos... converted to 1dll = 10.8 (aprox)

[Taz_Zoee]

We passed a gas station over the weekend and Diesel was $5.09/gal. :eek:
It is staying steady in the $4.00 range around here though. While I'm not happy about paying these prices....I don't have much of a choice if I want to get to work everyday. :(

[CountryWolf07]

I feel real bad for my boyfriend -- he has a duramax desiel 2500 HD GMC truck.. =\

WHY is gas so high? What's the point of this crap going on around here? =(

[shepgirl]

The point is...POLITICS

[davidpizzica]

Gas prices here in Pittsburgh are on the verge of hitting the $4.00 mark in another day or so. Most stations are at the $3.97-$3.99 level now. I'm lucky in that I found a station at "only" $3.93! (for right now).

[Catty1]

Monday June 2 (Japan is t'other side of the Date Line)

Gas has risen from 10 - 12 yen per litre. It's now $6.25 US per gallon.

They have to import ALL their fuel.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I wasn't quite down to half a tank but I decided to fill up again and I paid $4.16 per gallon. It took a little over $23 to fill my tank up. I'm just glad that I don't have a long commute, don't drive many far distances, and get good gas mileage.

[Catlady711]

WHY is gas so high?


I can't find the link to the really good web page about why gas prices are rising, but I did find this one that somewhat covers the basic subject.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5365439

[RedHedd]

Up again to $4.37 for s/s unleaded. This is at the CHEAP stations just south of San Francisco :mad:

[Medusa]

My son said today that it's up to $4.34 in L.A.

[davidpizzica]

Today when I gassed up at my regular station I found that the price DROPPED 5 cents!! It was $3.97 now down to $3.92!

[binka_nugget]

You guys have it good..

It hit $1.41/litre today. :( It's the equivalent of $5.24 per gallon.

[Chica]

I can't stand it, the prices are so high. Today 6-5-08 the prices are $4.53 a gallon.

[shais_mom]

I filled up before coming home from Anna_66's house and with the Walmart Card I got it for $3.74!!! :eek:

[slick]

This morning - $1.41/litre.....:(

[K9karen]

6/5/08..$3.97 per gallon for regular. ugh

[krazyaboutkatz]

At the gas station that I normally go to which is one of cheapest, it's now $4.27. Most gas stations are at least $4.30 something or $4.40 something.:(

[moosmom]

Our illustrious Governor Rell convinced the legislature to hold off upping our gas tax from 7 to 7.5% as ALL the CT residents are pretty po'd considering we're the higest taxed state in the NATION.

Remind me again why I came back from MI??? Oh yeah, I miss my friends and family. That is certainly worth it.

[PBenn]

I live in Cincinnati, OH and I saw $3.81 this morning.

[Freckles]

Yesterday I paid $4.139 per gallon and needed 8.94 gallons.

[davidpizzica]

A gas station around the corner from me has dropped their price from $3.95 to $3.89 an gallon. However I saw the first station here at the $4.00 mark ($4.09).

[binka_nugget]

Gas went up to $1.46/litre

$5.43/Gallon

[cyber-sibes]

6/7 - Just got back from a trip:
Rhode Island $4.09
Conneticut $4.29 - 4.45
New York $4.50

[chocolatepuppy]

$4.00 today :mad:

[krazyaboutkatz]

The lowest that I saw today was $4.33 and I think that the highest was $4.45.:eek:

[Catlady711]

Ours went from $3.99 to $4.09 Saturday!:eek:

[caseysmom]

costco is now 4.35 a gallon:eek:

[elizabethann]

I paid $3.879 yesterday. A real bargain!

[Suki Wingy]

WHERE did you find it that cheap!?!

I payed $4.29

[carole]

There is more talk of it going up again here in NZ, at $2.09 a litre it is expensive enough :eek:

[elizabethann]

WHERE did you find it that cheap!?!

I payed $4.29

The only place I've seen it over $4 is at the small town gas stations. If you drive in the city where I work, it hasn't gotten to $4 yet. Plus I use regular gas, not premium.

[davidpizzica]

In my last post I said that there were two stations with prices over $4.00. I drove by them today and one was at $3.99 and one was at $3.97!

[gini]

Yesterday it was $4.39 a gallon - I haven't been out today to see what the new and improved price will be:rolleyes::eek:

[Edwina's Secretary]

We paid $4.63/gal at one stop on our rv trip (natch!)

[RedHedd]

Up to $4.47 here in San Francisco :(

[Catlady711]

My mom said she went by a station today that had advertised gas (regular) at $3.93 but when she pulled in there were small signs taped to all the pumps. Apparently they were out of regular and mid grade gas so they were selling the PREMIUM at the regular price - $3.93!!!!!!!:eek::eek: A bargain even for regular, but for Premium it was a steal!

Dang, why don't I ever run across deals like that??:(

[elizabethann]

Paid $3.89 at lunchtime today. Down the street it was being sold for $3.99 and even further down the street it was being sold for $4.05. Someplace outside of Manchester (the big city) it's being sold for $4.15. But nobody is stopping there because it can be found cheaper down the road.

[moosmom]

Since I had a coupon from Stop & Shop for 10 cents off per gallon, I got a total of 6.6 gallons for a WHOPPING $25.50. This is ridiculous!!!

[carole]

I would still rather have your prices than our's we just had another increase now at a whopping $2.12 a litre, i am told there is four litres to a gallon, so by my calculations we are paying around 8.48 a gallon,:eek:

[Riptide]

$4.38 just up the street >.>

[Jessika]

I would still rather have your prices than our's we just had another increase now at a whopping $2.12 a litre, i am told there is four litres to a gallon, so by my calculations we are paying around 8.48 a gallon,:eek:

Yeah there are about...... 3.75 L in a gallon so that's about right!

[Jessika]

$25.00 for 6 gallons of gas today. Boy is THAT depressing!!

Ugh tell me about it.... I put $25 every other day in my truck and it only gives me MAYBE two round-trips to school....... so two days of gas for me = ~$25

(mind you, $25 is a little less than 1/2 a tank for me. IDK why I never fill up completely.....)

Oh and also, most gas stations now are pre-authorizing credit and debit cards used for pay at the pump for $75 OR MORE!!!!!!! And you get charged for your purchase on top of that.... eventhough the $75 is never "charged" to your account (it's just used to see if you have an available balance before the actual transaction), it will sit pending in your account for about a WEEK!!!!! So if you have to fill up every few days like me, you can have like $225 that you can't access from your account because its "pending" ON TOP OF what you actually bought..... :mad::mad::mad:

I really should start paying with cash, but I really don't feel comfortable with carrying around that much cash with me for how often I'm needing to fill up...

[Aspen and Misty]

Gas prices here are $3.99 at most gas pumps. I've seen it as high as $4.10 around the highway though. Looking through this thread though has made me thankful for the "low" price I'm paying for gas. (wow, I never thought I would be happy to "only" be paying $3.99 a gallon for gas)

[moosmom]

When you buy a car in CT, not only do you pay sales tax, licensing and title fees, but a car in CT is considered a "luxury", so we are also sent a tax bill every year based on how much THEY think your car is worth. That on top of the 7% gas tax, soon to be 7.5% is just too much.

Our wonderful (not) Governor has decided to hold off raising the gas tax for the summer. Believe me, it doesn't put a DENT in helping the CT residents out.

So, that's why I'm stuck home in my little apartment on my computer watching tv, reading. My car, after putting $25 worth of gas in it, is sitting in the parking lot going nowhere, doing nothing.

Something's gotta give. People can't take much more. I've been reading stories about fights at the gas pumps, cutting in lines, etc. It's getting ugly.

[cyber-sibes]

Something's gotta give. People can't take much more.I hear you, sister, but it's not likely to get "better" any time soon. It's going to take some real grass roots effort to get the government to move forward with tapping into the oil & shale resources that are right here on US territory. There needs to be some sanity and balance in all this, with die-hard environmentalists coming to terms with reality for the rest of us. I'd say most of us are getting tired of being held hostage by foreign oil because we're held hostage here by over regulation preventing development of available resources.

And what ever happened to the development of alternate fuels that was going to save us back in the 70's? In case no one noticed, those promises were made over 35 years ago!!!!

(climbs off soap box ;))

[gini]

6/14/08 - $4.69 a gallon

[Taz_Zoee]

I'm not sure of the price exactly today, but Bruce filled my tank and said it was $60! :rolleyes: I have a VW Jetta. It used to take less than $20 to fill the tank. CRAZY!!!

[boomersooner]

$3.95 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.....Shell seems to be the highest...they are well over $4.00.

[Moesha]

I saw gas today in the town next to mine for 3.79. I wasn't driving or I definitely would have filled up.

[carole]

Here in NZ at our local supermarket they sell petrol, from time to time if you purchase over 15 dollars of produce you get 15c a litre off your petrol ,it sure helps out a lot, and we always spend that much,usually they only give you like 4cent or 6cents off a litre,so it is a good promotion at the moment, we are really hurting down under,and as you all say it is only going to get worse, funny thing is our groceries last week were the cheapest we have had in a long time, i guess we did not need that much, this week they were expensive again,it seems it is never going to end does it? :(

[RedHedd]

$4.57 for self-serve unleaded in San Francisco :(

[Casper]

$3.83 here.
It has finally hit $4.00 less than 15 miles away from our town, so I am sure ours will rise sooner than we would like. Mum finally broke down and bought a car. It gets an average of 27-30 MPG, so it is a big improvement from what her 2004 GMC Enjoy XUV gets. :]

[mruffruff]

The lowest in Columbia, SC is now $3.739 a gallon. Average is $3.899.

[caseysmom]

I went to Los Angeles last weekend, out in the middle of nowhere on the way I paid $4.95!

[cali]

unless it went up AGAIN, its about $1.39 a liter here. our small car cost $70 to fill last week. my dad said his work van costs him about $150 a tank :eek:

[Catlady711]

$4.14 for regular as of yesterday.:eek:

I'm seriously looking into buying a scooter.

[carole]

wow you guys have it good, that is still cheap, cali, we are paying 2.12 a litre and it is still going up.

[gini]

6/18/08 - California - $4.75 per gallon - it was $4.69 four days ago.

[CathyBogart]

$4.79 for regular at the cheap gas station. I :love: my motorcycle and it's 55 mpg!

[davidpizzica]

Today I got gas at $3.97 at my favorite station. One station was up to $4.01, but has dropped back down to $3.99!

[Moesha]

Gas went down here too! From $3.99 to $3.97! Watch me save those pennies!

BTW I got my BP credit card in the mail today. I'll be saving 10% on my gas purchases for the next 60 days.

[gini]

Today I got gas at $3.97 at my favorite station. One station was up to $4.01, but has dropped back down to $3.99!

Oh go ahead David, brag about your $3.97 when they are charging us $4.75 in California.

Well Nanner Nanner to you too!:D:D

[davidpizzica]

Oh go ahead David, brag about your $3.97 when they are charging us $4.75 in California.

OK Gini, I'll shut up. I probably won't be bragging too much longer the way the gasoline companies keep raising it. It's a bad situation that's getting worse.

[anna_66]

Got it for $3.80 on Wednesday...now it's $4.09.

[Moesha]

I saw gas in the next town west of me for $3.83 at several stations today. I paid $3.85 because I got it at BP with my new BP card to save 10%. The cheapest in my town is still $3.99.

[krazyaboutkatz]

The cheapest I've seen in my area is $4.45 so I filled up today even though I still had 3/4 of a tank. Most places are in the 4.50 something range.

[Almita]

we just passed the $4.00 mark. Still find it insane.

[jennielynn1970]

We're ranging between $3.97 and $4.19 for regular here in Allentown. Just depends on where you go. It's been at $3.97 for the past few days at a few stations, but I don't know how long that will last.

Can I just say I'm glad I'm not in California with those gas prices?? Wow... I think I'd definitely be researching public transportation or going next to nowhere. I'm glad right now it's summer and I don't have to go to work, so I can just park the car and walk around the neighborhood, and only drive when I need to go food shopping or something like that.

[Medusa]

$3.89 here in Ohio yesterday but, fortunately, I had accumulated gas perks so I paid $2.09.

[Catlady711]

$4.24 for regular this morning.

[davidpizzica]

Gas prices in Pittsburgh average around the $3.97 range. I've seen two stations at $4.05, but just two so far. I still get gas at my favorite station for $3.92!

[Grace]

$4.19 this morning in Dexter, MI.

Thank goodness for my new car that is getting 28 - 30 mpg for around town driving.

[BC_MoM]

I thought US gas prices were worse, but they aren't. There is about 4 litres in 1 gallon. It's about $1.30 a litre here... that would be $5.20 a gallon in Canada.

I was in Grand Forks last weekend doing a rescue transport and it was $1.14 CAD a litre!!!! I haven't seen a price like that around for a long time.

[Roxyluvsme13]

$3.85 - $3.95 and up.

Apparently, Tennessee's supposed to be one of the cheaper areas right now :/

[slick]

On the way in to work this morning it was $1.49 and most definately be over $1.50 for July 1st. It now costs over $80 to fill up my tank.:eek:

[binka_nugget]

:( It's actually at the point where it's cheaper to make the trek out to the border and fill up. I think I may do that tomorrow.

It cost $40 to fill up my little Corolla a couple months ago.. well over $60 now. :rolleyes:

[Medusa]

I saw on TV that a trip that used to cost $25 in gas four years ago now would cost $100.

[Suki Wingy]

I got $4.21 today. Cheapest in town. Sunday, I saw $4.09 the next county over, I freaked out because it was the cheapest I've seen in a long while, but I was in my mom's car so I couldn't fill up.

[slick]

With gas prices in Vancouver flirting with $1.50 a litre, much of the attention has been on the 2.4 cent a litre provincial carbon tax that kicks in tomorrow. However, provincial tax cuts also coming into effect tomorrow mean your pay cheque should be bigger as well.
Victoria has promised the carbon tax will be 'revenue neutral' because it will be offset by cuts to provincial income and business taxes. Provincial income taxes drop 2% effective tomorrow, but because the cut is applied to your income for the entire year, the reduction you'll see on your pay slip will be 4%.
The BC government is playing games with us, but then that's nothing new. I have to fill up my gas tank on the way home tonight and I can only imagine how long the lineup is going to be.:rolleyes: The Carbon Tax kicks in at midnight tonight. The above is a quote from our local news website. Oh yes, and I did receive my $100 cheque (dubbed the Climate Change Rebate Cheque) from our beloved government that is urging us to use it for things like eco friendly light bulbs, put towards the purchase of a bike or something that's "green". I wonder how many people actually used it for that purpose? Mine was put towards bills. They giveth, and they taketh away twofold. :rolleyes:

[Moesha]

I bought gas yesterday for $3.19! I used my discover card, so I will get 5% back from the total purchas as well. I had gone shopping in the next town southwest of me. Here it is $3.52. Quite a savings I thought!

[krazyaboutkatz]

The gas station that I normally use is down to $3.99 and I'm hoping that it'll soon go down further.:)

[davidpizzica]

The price of gas in Pittsburgh is 3.63 a gallon. I hope it continues to go DOWN!

[cyber-sibes]

I bought gas at the local Stop N Shop, and I paid $2.98 a gal. with our discount. Unfortunately, they are ending their gas discount program in a week. (I think the pump price was about 3.69)

Isn't it pathetic that we think paying $3 a gallon is a deal now?:rolleyes:

[Suki Wingy]

I just moved to an area where the cost of living is much less than where I used to live, and it's around $3.49- $3.59 here. Where I moved from had some of the highest tax on everything in the country. (food, property, etc.)

[jennielynn1970]

I've seen $3.51 at a bunch of places here in Allentown. Other places I've seen $3.55.

Not too bad. Hope it keeps going down!

[Logan]

It was $3.27 for regular unleaded yesterday at a local gas station. Never thought I would say that is "good", but it is, all things considered.

[jazzcat]

It's $3.46 near me but about 35 miles down the road it's $3.21.

[moosmom]

The cheapest in CT is around $3.67.

[CountryWolf07]

It's $3.46 near me but about 35 miles down the road it's $3.21.

Wow.

It's $3.59 here in Ohio.

[Jessika]

Sooo excited... the price dropped from $3.90 to $3.25 in like less than three weeks!! It just keeps going down! I think St. Louis has the lowest prices in the nation now... woohoo!

[krazyaboutkatz]

We're still on the high end here. I just bought some today for $3.89 and that's cheap for my area.

[Grace]

It's still selling for $3.79 in the Ann Arbor area.

[davidpizzica]

Yesterday, the lowest price in Pittsburgh was $3.57 a gallon. This was at my favorite gas station!

[pomtzu]

$3.32 this morning in town. When it gets below $2.00 I'll get enthuiastic about it. :rolleyes: Ain't never gonna happen! :(

[cassiesmom]

Bringing this old thread back up again because the price of regular unleaded went up 14 cents between yesterday and today at the Speedway station down the block from where I work. News radio gives low gas prices once each hour - in other suburbs they're saying $2.51, $2.54 -- but at the Speedway it was $2.65 yesterday, $2.79 today! What gives, I wonder? I try to get it when I go to church - one county over and it's about a nickel a gallon less because of different taxes.

[finn's mom]

I never look at the price. I just fill up when I get paid. I figure in the case of gas prices, what I don't know can't hurt me. ;)

[DJFyrewolf36]

About 2.80 on average. Some places are about 2.50. It hasn't changed really one way or the other in about a month now. I suspect the holidays are going to push us over 3 again...:rolleyes:

ETA: I'm in Eugene...Luckies4me: have you seen anyplace cheaper?

[kokopup]

We are seeing a range of $2.29 to $2.40 for regular, $2.50 for medium grade
Prem.

[pomtzu]

Most are running at $2.43. A few higher and a few lower.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I heard the price of a barrel went up again. How convenient for somebody.:rolleyes:

We're around $2.59 average here.

[cassiesmom]

Did anyone else notice, or is it only in the Chicago area that prices went up? The Shell station nearest to my house went from $2.84 to $3.09 in one day. I'm not sure why.

[pomtzu]

We're running somewhere in the $2.50's last I noticed and when I got gas last week. I guess it hasn't gone up, since the gas at Sam's was $2.40 something this a.m. when I went by, and they run a little less than others.

Elyse - Shell is always the highest of anybody in this area.

[moosmom]

Prices right now for regular are $2.61 (cheapest) per gallon for regular unleaded. I boycott BP gas stations which are $2.79/gallon.

[Medusa]

$2.69 for regular in my area.

Oil, gasoline up on US crude pipeline leak
By CHRIS KAHN (AP) – 2 hours ago

NEW YORK — Retail gasoline prices increased Monday as crews continued to work on a broken Midwest pipeline that transports a quarter of the oil imported from Canada to the U.S.

In its weekly report on gasoline pump prices, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said Monday that the national average for a gallon of unleaded regular was $2.721, up about 4 cents from a week ago. The Midwest showed the biggest jump in regional prices, up 10.4 cents from a week ago to $2.778 a gallon. The average pump price in Chicago was $3.018, up almost 16 cents from a week ago.

The broken Enbridge Energy crude oil pipeline is in Romeoville, Ill., about 30 miles from Chicago. It is part of a system that transports oil from western Canada to U.S. refiners. Marathon Oil Corp., which operates a refinery in Robinson, Ill., about 225 miles south of Chicago, would not comment on whether it faced shortages because of the pipeline shutdown. On its website, Marathon says the refinery produces gasoline and diesel fuel. It has a capacity of 206,000 barrels per day.

Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service, said the pipeline helped push wholesale gas prices in the Midwest about 30 cents per gallon higher than the West Coast and 15 to 20 cents per gallon higher than the East Coast.

The jump in prices is "based mostly on perception," Kloza said, as the U.S. continues to sit on the largest supply of oil and petroleum-based fuels on record. Fuel supplies may be tighter in the Midwest as farmers harvest crops and push diesel demand higher, but refineries are still receiving oil despite the pipeline problem, he said.

"In the meantime, if you're someone who needs to buy 100,000 barrels of gasoline or diesel by the end of this month, there's probably a little bit of panic setting in," Kloza said. The price of oil and gasoline have surged on spot markets as doubts linger about when Enbridge can get the pipeline back up and running.

That's pushed gasoline and diesel prices higher, Kloza said.

According to the Oil Price Information Service, motorists in Warren, Ind., have been stung with the biggest price hikes. Pump prices there have soared 34.7 cents per gallon since Sept. 1.

Boyd, Ky., saw an increase of 34.3 cents per gallon in the same time, and Hillsdale, Mich. saw prices jump 32.4 cents per gallon.

Enbridge, based in Houston, wouldn't say when the pipeline would be operating again. An estimated 6,100 barrels of crude oil were spilled last week after the pipeline broke.

The futures contract for benchmark crude also increased Monday, rising above $77 a barrel. Prices followed the stock market higher as investors cheered reports that Chinese industrial production was accelerating. China said over the weekend that manufacturing rose 13.9 percent in August from a year ago, faster than the 13.4 percent growth pace in July.

A weaker dollar also contributed to rising oil prices by making crude cheaper for investors holding other currencies.

Benchmark crude for October delivery added 74 cents to settle at $77.19 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude rose 87 cents to settle at $79.03 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

In other Nymex trading in October contracts, heating oil rose 1.83 cents to settle at $2.1227 a gallon and gasoline added less than a penny to settle at $1.9806 a gallon. Natural gas gained 5.5 cents to settle at $3.938 per 1,000 cubic feet.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I had been noticing that prices were going down around here. I think the lowest is still 2.99 for regular unleaded though.

[cassiesmom]

The closest filling station to me just raised their price to $3.94. I hope it'll come down soon.

[Bonny]

It is $3.49 here.

[Alysser]

I paid $3.37 yesterday. :rolleyes: I have been letting my tank getting to nearly E lately because I'm so p/o'ed at these gas prices and I just wind up paying more to fill it up anyway. My car takes about 13 gallons and costs me over $30 to fill it up. I'm just glad that it has wonderful gas mileage!

[Lilith Cherry]

Yesterday it was the equivalent of 4.64 a gallon in my part of Ontario!

[pomtzu]

Most stations right in this area are running between $3.50 and $3.56 from what I saw when I was out today. Thank goodness I drive a small car that's good on gas, and don't do much driving anyway. That's one of the perks of retirement! :p Sometimes a tank of gas can last me for 3 weeks or longer, depending on how much running I do, or don't do. :D

[Grace]

$3.65 here, today. That's SE Michigan.

Another retiree here who doesn't do a lot of driving, and gets good mileage.

[krazyaboutkatz]

The cheapest place right now for regular is $4.01 but it may have gone up yet again.:( Luckily I live close to work and I don't drive too much. I usually fill up when my tank it's still half full and this is usually every 2 weeks or so.

[davidpizzica]

I'm gave up my car to live here at Concordia, so I don't buy gas anymore. However up here in western Pennsylvania, (in Butler), gas prices are hovering between $3.60 & $3.65 a gallon.

[Randi]

What are you whining about! ;) Look at the gasoline prices in Europe! These are pr. liter.

http://www.trafikken.dk/wimpdoc.asp?page=document&objno=14758

According to this link above, a gallon would cost just over $9 in Denmark.

[Taz_Zoee]

I paid $4.11/gallon yesterday. It took $50 to fill up my little VW Jetta!! :eek: Most pumps turn off at a max limit and Bruce filled up his Yukon yesterday and it stopped at $75. His tank was almost full with the $75.
I commute to work, so this is going to hurt my checkbook, that's for sure!! :( I fill up once a week and again on the weekend if I go somewhere.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I guess I live in a good area, it's always cheaper here than the national average. It was 3.47/gal for regular today. I love that my car gets around 32-34mpg, but I still have to fill it up every week, 'cuz the tank only holds 13 gal.

[DogCrazy71]

It is $3.49 a gallon here. When will it reach $5 a gallon? lol

[boomersooner]

Paid $3.56 on Saturday in the Dallas area....

[Grace]

The price went up 20¢/gallon - OVERNIGHT!!

$3.65 yesterday - $3.85 this morning. Something tells me we are getting screwed :mad:

[pomtzu]

$3.65 yesterday - $3.85 this morning. Something tells me we are getting screwed :mad:

Oh I can hardly wait till I go out on Thursday for a couple of appointments. I'm sure it's up here too, and I'm needing to feed my car.

We're getting screwed alright - and without the benefit of a kiss! :eek:

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Gas prices in my area.... are absolutely absurd! They are the same as Cindy's, we live in the same area. It's ridiculous and I can't wait for them to go down!!

[mrspunkysmom]

$3. 49 in the upstate but I paid $3.46 with my gift card. The prices are lower towards the midlands. Upstate South Carolina is very expensive.

[cassiesmom]

It's up to $4.15 around here today. Every day it seems to go up 6 or 8 cents.

[pomtzu]

Most were around $3.65 when I was out last Thursday, so they've had another 4 days to jack it up some more! I'll find out later this week when I go out. :eek:

[mrspunkysmom]

$3.56 yesterday! And at the same place. :mad:

[Freedom]

The price went up 20¢/gallon - OVERNIGHT!!

$3.65 yesterday - $3.85 this morning. Something tells me we are getting screwed :mad:

Yup, that just happened here. It was $3.59 yesterday and, while I needed gas, I had the pups w/ me. Went to get gas today: $3.75!!!! :eek: Took $25 to fill my Prius.

[cassiesmom]

It's up to $4.15 around here today. Every day it seems to go up 6 or 8 cents.

Woohoo! It's down to $4.11 at the same filling station today. Phew!

[Grace]

Up again here - $3.99 - just 1/10 of a cent under $4.

Anyone know what I can buy for 1/10 of a cent?

It is $3.69 a gallon here at the good stations, but I was able to get a tank for $3.49 a gallon with the Stop & Shop gas points deal, so that was good. Still cost me $37 to fill the tank, but that was more than 10 1/5 gallons worth, so will last me a while.

[Bonny]

$3.69 today & didn't fill the tank all the way up.

[CountryWolf07]

$3.85 here in Ohio. Ugh.

[Glacier]

5.50 a gallon here; just under a 1.40 a litre. Went up 6 cents a litre overnight.

Pushing 7 bucks a gallon where my hubby is working up the Alaska Highway!

[lvpets2002]

:) Yup here where I am at in Texas we are at $3.75 gallon.. Gosh $7.00 gallon Holly Cow..

[Taz_Zoee]

I just paid $4.25/gallon this morning. Over $50 to fill my car. :( I really wish I could find a good job closer to home. But I love my job and jobs are hard to find right now so I'll just keep mine, thanks.

The cheapest I've seen is now $4.13/gallon but I'm sure it won't stay at this price for very long. Luckily I never let my tank get lower than half full before I fill it up again.

I used to do that too, but I'd be getting gas two or three times a week if I still did that, with my commute. :(

[lvpets2002]

:) Yup as of last night we was at $3.75 gallon.. I am glad to know that I am not the only one that does not let the gas tank get below 1/2.. I always fill up when I am down only to 1/2 tank..

It spiked to about $3.99 here in mid Michigan yesterday. I filled up the day before at $3.89. Today I saw a few stations at $3.88. Hopefully it'll go down some more, but those rumors of it hitting $5 a gallon this summer don't seem much like rumors anymore. :(


You know... I went back to the beginning of this thread which began in 2008. Seems like there is an obvious pattern.

Gas was hovering at $4 a gallon in the US in the Spring/Summer months. Dropped down to $3.50ish during the fall/winter.... Spring/Summer of '09, thread was bumped because prices were heading toward $4 again. Repeat in '10 and now '11.

Saw 3.75 and 3.79 here in allentown/bethlehem. Not encouraged by the rate of the increase.

[binka_nugget]

We're paying $1.37/litre in Vancouver, which is equivalent to $5.29USD/Gallon.. ugh.

[Asiel]

As of tonight at 5:00 p.m. we are paying $ 1.40/ litre. It's supposed to go up more for the Easter weekend, hope not .

[Old Geezer]

Gas is $3.79 here in Dover FL. This is getting rediculous.

[Alysser]

$3.69 here. I guess that's still considered cheap. :rolleyes:

[Grace]

S.E. Michigan -

Yesterday it was $3.99 - today it's $4.17.

So explain to me how it can go up 20¢ overnight, but once it begins to drop it will take 3 weeks to drop that much :confused:

[pomtzu]

I paid $3.74 last week at the station I go to - most others were $3.80+. I didn't notice what it was today when I went out (central DE).

It was just on t.v. yesterday, the huge profits that the oil companies are making. Hmmm - guess it's just not huge enough to suit them - so they raise the prices more. :rolleyes:

[RedHedd]

$4.29/Gallon for SS unleaded in San Francisco :(

[krazyaboutkatz]

I lucked out on Saturday and I was able to find it for $4.10/gallon. It was an Arco staion that said it's under new management. The Arco station that I usually go to is up to $4.16/gallon which is still a lot less than most places. I'm so thankful that I don't have to drive very far to work and that my car gets good gas mileage.:)

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Krazyaboutkatz, I noticed we are in the same area, and I too tend to go to the Arco stations! They are 'cheap' compared to the 76, Chevron, Shell, and all those other stations around here. I can't wait for it to go back down.... I'd be happy with $50, to be honest. And that still isn't anything to be jumping up and down about.:mad::rolleyes:

[Roxyluvsme13]

I can't believe it's over $4 in Cali :(.

Last I saw it was $3.68 here, but between here and my hometown, there are usually certain places with it cheaper.

[moosmom]

In Connecticut, it's now over $4.00/gal thanks to CT's wonderful (NOT!!!) taxing the crap out of it.

I remember the gas rationing back in the '70s when $5.00 would get me a full tank in my little powder blue 1972 VW bug!!! Those were the days! Now $5.00 will get you MAYBE a gallon and a squirt or two.

[pomtzu]

Are you seeing a decline in gas prices where you are?
I got gas this a.m. - it was down to $3.53 where I always get it. What a bargain - right??? :rolleyes:


ETA: The attendant at the station this a.m. said they are expecting it to drop another 10 cents in time for the 4th weekend. The oil companies must be in cahoots with the resorts and theme parks. They want your attendance there, and not staying home because it's too expensive to travel! Figures - there's always a motive behind it!

Actually.... When you think about what it takes to mine, transport, refine, transport again and then deliver a gallon of gasoline... We have it pretty good in the US.

I mean, you pay more for a gallon of milk most places now.

Also, when the scale of this is considered, there are a lot of companies that make way bigger profit margins. (Google anyone?) I WANT oil companies making good profits. Anybody with a private reitement plan almost certainly has some of their money invested in them.

ALL of this said... It could be made more inexpesive at the point of delivery. But THAT is a discussion more suited for the DH. LOL

Pom,
What did Della Wear?

I dunno, Alaska? :eek:



From KY to CA I have seen the prices from 3.43 to about 4 bucks - 4 bucks being asked for in AZ

[jennielynn1970]

I'm in Allentown, PA, and I just saw gas for $3.53 as well!! I'm liking this trend...the downward trend!!!
