gas prices in your area?

[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

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.

oipped? What does that mean?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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!!

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

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!
