I have my trusty little Speed Pass that I use when I need to fill up, so I rarely have to look at the gas prices. I really don't know what gas is up to down here. :eek:

Yup....it is 2.45 here in State College too. I am afraid of what my heating oil is going to run this year.

Only $2.45? :eek: It's up to $2.73 for self-serve unleaded here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Glad I have a great mileage-getter Chevy Aveo - my trusty little red commutemobile! It's still expensive, but I only have to gas-up about three times a month.

It was $2.38 here in Fort Scott, Kansas yesterday. Who knows what it is today. This is beyond stupid!!!!
I only drive twice a week now to run errands. Guess I'll be cutting down to once a week.:(

$2.60 something here in the Chicago area.

A friend of ours in California....don't really remember where but I think it's nearer to San Francisco than to LA....just paid $3.12 for diesel for his pick-em-up truck. :eek:

Diesel is usually lower than gas, but since gas prices have started sky rocketing, diesel has gone up even more because they are diverting crude from the diesel refineries to the gas refineries to keep gas prices down. Wonder when the truckers are going to start complaining. We have 150 gallon tank in the motorhome, at $3.12 a gallon that would be $468.00 for a fill-up! :eek: :eek: :eek:

The part that really aggravates me is that the oil companies are reporting record profits. Crude goes up a penny, they raise our price by $.10. Crude goes down $5.00, our price stays the same or even goes up further because there's talk that crude prices will go up. It's just not fair. But then again, this is a capitalistic society and profits are the name of the game.

I say if we QUIT wasting it, we would buy far less and the prices would DROP drastically... Someone got the bright idea a few years ago to take the American population to the cleaners, BETTING, we would not change our habits.. And most haven't so they keep raising the price and raising the price and raising the price... And we keep buying and paying their outragous prices! It will continue to rise until people cut back on how much they use or can't afford cars anymore. Complaining does no good, ACTION will! (Remember, everytime you fill up, you are also filling up someone elses pockets!)

It is $2.45 a gallon in Louisiana

I JUST noticed the gas prices today!! I drive a Honda Civic and with no job to go to right now, I don't have to fill up very often. In fact, I can't even remember the last time....3 weeks ago I think and I know I paid $2.17 then because I was talking to my girlfriend in Cali about it.
Today I saw it's $2.45!! I did see a place at $2.39 so that is where I will fill up next time. It's outrageous!
It is getting to expensive to leave your house these days! Movies are out as they are too expensive too. You can't even take a Sunday drive to entertain yourself anymore....Crazy!!

$2.69 here in northeast WI. I just filled my tank to the top yesterday morning and then at night found out that a small gas leak had started along the seam of my tank! What a waste of money. Guess I go school shopping this weekend so I can use up the gas before it goes to waste.

It was 2.60 here in Michigan on Friday, i am afraid to see what it is now, i drive a Honda Civic, and when i got it 1.5 years ago i could fill it up to the TOP with 15.00!
Now that gets me nothing!
And i drive 45 mins to work every morning! Ugh i cant take it any more!

2.59 a gallon here in Dallas. Luckily, I drive less than 3 miles to work. Unfortunately, hubby drives all the way on the other side of the DFW metroplex. He's spending a fortune in gas. He has a little economy car, or I don' t know what we'd do!

It's about $2.40 here for the cheapest. Of course that was yesterday so it will probably be higher today. :rolleyes:

It's nuts! I pass several gas stations going to and from church. The price of "Plus" was, at the different stations in order as I pass them,
$2.77 a gallon
$2.69 a gallon
$2.65 a gallon
$2.83 a gallon
$2.71 a gallon

Keep in mind than these stations are all within a mile of each other, on just two different, intersecting streets.

The place that is now at $2.77 a gallon is the most astounding to me. Friday I went to get gas (for our Connecticut trip) and to buy bunny greens. When I bought gas at the start of the trip, it was $2.59. LESS than half an hour later, I passed the SAME station, and it had jumped 10 cents to $2.69!

Oh wow, I thought $2. 30 was bad. Its insane how much its raising, I remember when gas was only 1.33 per gallon. I'm wondering if the public buses are getting busier with the cost of fuel going up so fast.

I think the lowest I saw yesterday was $2.39. That was after I gassed up at $2.50, but I also saw some up to $2.70.

Well, today in my area it hit an all time high of $2.79 but I did see ONE place that had it for $2.55! I saw about 20 gas stations and all had the same price except that one. That is for selfserve regular.

It's $2.48 here now. It went up a dime since Friday. I'm not going to be able to aford to keep my car at this rate. Only problem, we don't have any public transportation.

Oh, well, eating is just a habit. I don't need to eat more than once a day anyway. ;)

It is around $1.45 a litre in NZ at present, they are talking about bringing back car less days, lowering the speed limit from 100 to 80, and if worse comes to worse rationing petrol.:eek:

Gas prices are going down around here. I just paid $2.95 for gas and the other day I paid $2.79.

There is an article in our state paper about people trading in their SUV's for more fuel efficient cars. However, the trade-in value is very low. Don't think anybody wants to drive SUV's anymore.

My Sister did a calculation of how much my car gets per gallon and it's 32 mpg. It's a Ford Focus Wagon.
