gas prices in your area?

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...

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.

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

Williamston, MI is at $4.19 today.

Yay!!

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!)

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

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

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 ) 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

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.....

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...

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)

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.

[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,
