How much is gas where you are??

[southerner]

In North Carolina, it went up about 10 cents this past week.

The cheapest kind (regular, I think) is $2.15/gallon.

How much is it where you are? Who has the most expensive gas in their area?

[Brandles]

I got gas here in town for $2.09 a gallon. I never thought this would be a bargain. :rolleyes:

In Zanesville, Ohio, it's up to $2.29! :eek:

[alliannie]

Between 2.05 and 2.08. Ours went up .10 cents this week also. I think I am probably on the low end of cost luckily though.

[jesvet]

I'd kill for your prices. I just paid $2.79 a gallon for 89 octane.

[alliannie]

:eek: I would die if ours cost that much!!!

[mrsliby2004]

Gas here in Sacramento, CA is holding at between $2.39 - $2.49 depending on what brand of gas.

I know where my parents live, just an hour south, gas is between $2.49 - $2.59

[sublime311]

In Tucson, we range from 2.14 (Albertsons) to 2.49 (Chevron).

Gas Buddy (http://www.gasbuddy.com/) is a cool website that allows you to compare gas prices in your city. You'll always know where the cheapest gas is!

[Mom2Cole]

HOLY MOLY!!! I thought gas here in Nebraska for $2.19 was insane... :eek:

[Scooter]

Here in the Bay Area it's been hovering between $2.49 and $2.65 for regular over the last few weeks. I was excited to fill up today (at Costco) for only $2.40!

[kmtiger]

Here in West TN I paid $2.09 for regular on Tuesday.

[Akemi]

It's about $2.79 for premium... ugh.

[AusMarchBride]

Here in Australia, converted from litres and Australian Dollars (fondly known as the Pacific Peso cos it's worth so little)

we pay over USD 3.10 per gallon for premium

[heather]

I just filled up on 87 for $2.53 a gallon here in San Diego....

[lawyerlee]

About $2.20/gallon when I filled up this week.

[eponymous]

$2.05 on the corner, $2.29 downtown.

[TX Sweetheart]

According to DallasGasPrices.com, the lowest (at Sams/Costco) is $2.02 and the highest (at Shell) is $2.39...

[claribella]

$2.39...I want to hurt something now...thanks... :(

[ktdelsur]

I found a place on Monday and filled up at $1.99/gallon. :)

[jennylou]

NE Ohio: $2.29 for regular, last night.

[BethS0103]

We're hovering around $2.15-2.20 right now in metro Detroit although the prices don't bother me so much considering we just moved back from Germany and gas over there is close to $5.00 a gallon!!! :eek: So this is cheap for me. :p

[charliezangel]

I found a place on Monday and filled up at $1.99/gallon. :)
Please tell me where that is and i will be on the next flight to fill up as many containers as possible. Good god, I never thought that almost $2.00 for gas would get me excited, but i have't seen it below 2 in so long.

[jellybeany]

:eek: We are paying 2.31 for regular

[Sha259]

The range in our area is stable between $2.21 and $2.30 for regular, and I remember the days of $.99 gas. :(

[meggers]

I just filled up this morning for $2.14/gallon for mid-grade (which is the cheapest grade) here in Nebraska.

[Tracie]

I paid $2.16 for gas yesterday. :eek:

[graciebella]

Metro Atlanta is running $2.15-$2.20, and has gone up quite a bit in the last week.

[mmeblue]

The station in my area that's usually the cheapest is at $2.18. What I find weird is that the last few times we've gone to Georgia, it's no better there - before the last few months, it was usually 20 cents less as soon as we crossed the state line. So either the people in GA are getting gouged more than usual, or we in FL are getting a break...but I miss being able to get it cheaper on trips.

[amtaylor]

We are paying $2.15 for regular :(

[oceaneast]

2.14 here.

[dusthappy]

I paid $2.69 yesterday for 87 octane. Guess with a holiday weekend coming up, they felt the need to raise the price .20. Does wonders for my check book. And my honey wants to buy a Tahoe.

[Sabrina]

Regular is abour $2.27/gallon in Central CT.

[Kristy]

$2.22 to $2.25 in southern Indiana.

[LittleFredPunkinHead]

$2.26 today in central Ohio.

[WisWis]

For reference, I'm in southern VA. It's $2.09 for regular at all the gas stations in town, but I managed to get it for $2.05 in the next town over.

[DisneyGirl]

$2.13 for the cheap stuff..thats in central NJ

[aligirl]

St Louis - ranges from $2.09 to $2.29 for regular.

[strwbrygirl]

I saw gas for $2.02 this morning on my way to work... I live in central Ohio.

[lawyergirl25]

I saw it for $2.19, 2.03, and 2.29 all on the way to the coffee house where I study this morning - which is only 3 miles from my house. Weird, huh?

[myshel]

In Eastern Iowa, the mid-grade gas is running between $2.02 and $2.09 a gallon depending on where you go. The low grade gas is about 5-7 cents more than the mid-grade and premium runs about 10-15 cents more than the mid-grade.

Iowans are lucky in the sense that our mid-grade gas has ethanol in it which keeps the cost down somehow.

[kadee_29]

Last I knew around here it was $2.36. I have to go get gas later today so I will let ya know how much I wind up forking over.

(I am so glad I have a Corolla that does 30/36 mpg. :D )

[villanelle75]

Cheap-grade is $2.69ish. Ack.

[Rancid13]

$2.39 at Arco (cheap place). Chevron $2.47. The only downside at Arco although gas is cheaper, is that if you use your debit card to pay, you're automatically charged an additional $.35 for the transaction.

[Neen]

Here in central Indiana it's about $2.15-$2.19/gallon.

I miss have gas under $1.00/gallon!

[jessied1025]

$2.25 - $2.27 here in Wisconsin.

Having an SUV sucks with these prices!

[IrisHope]

I live in CT and today I filled up my tank with regular gas and it was $2.45 a gallon! :eek:

[bunnyboo]

Funny I come in here this morning to a gas question. The stupid gas station that I was filling up at this morning decided to spit out gas all over my clothes!! Ugh I was so irritated and I think I still smell like gas even after changing!! :mad:

Anyway, filled up half a tank at $2.55/gallon!!! :eek: :eek:

[shopaholic]

$2.24

I am waiting for it to go back down before I fill up. I hope I don't get to E.

I have seen gas prices change 3 times in one day. It was one price going to work, one price while on my lunch and another by the time I left work. All within an 8 hour day.

[southerner]

looks like the average right now (of course that will change as each day passes) is $2.15-2.25 ish.

Cheapest reported so far was in South Carolina (ktdelsur ) and Iowa is a close second.

Most expensive reported so far was in Australia ($3.10/gallon) :eek:

[LilMarty]

Gas in So. Maryland is around $2.15-2.20 a gallon.

[luvnu43]

Let's see.....$2.42 for the cheap stuff. I am about 15 miles from Summerfest! (although I hate it and never go) :(

[sunshineab622]

This morning it was between $2.09-$2.15 for the cheap gas

[PookiePrincess]

In the Houston suburbs it's $2.09.

I remember when I could fill up my first car for $10...

[Michelle]

Yesterday, I paid $2.39 for regular. But I'm sure it's more today since a .03 a gallon gas tax went into effect 7/1/05. :rolleyes:

[Maggie8202]

I just drove by a gas station and saw $2.32 on Long Island, New York.

[shellbell516]

I filled up yesterday at $2.08/gal. I saw several stations surrounding this one that were $2.09 - $2.14/gal. This was in the Clayton/Garner area of NC (south of Raleigh).

[Oakley]

I'm in Upstate NY and the cheapest I've found it for is $2.23. I am SO hoping prices go down. My DH and I commute 43 miles each way- the expense is getting out of hand!

Off topic- mrsliby2004 I love your picture!! :)

[hockeybrat]

It is anywhere from $2.32 gal to $2.42 for unleaded regular

[krbb]

I paid $2.25 on the way home from work in southwestern Ohio. Also in Ohio, today was the first day of the higher gas tax so it added .02 per gallon.

[julietchicago]

I think it's around $2.30-$2.45 per gallon. I will found out later today since I am currently on E !! :eek:

[mb1197]

I paid $2.29 yesterday. It's ridiculous!

[nekopie76]

I paid $2.24 on Tuesday. I am just excited that the prices have been steady for the last month. Of course now that I say something ...

[kadee_29]

I just filled up my car and it dropped to $2.29. I am shocked that it came down right before the holiday weekend.

[southerner]

wondering how much the prices have risen since this thread was active (11 days ago).

Here in Greensboro, North Carolina, it is between $2.25-$2.30 for the cheap stuff now. That's about a ten cent increase per gallon.

[shellbell516]

I saw $1.20, $1.28 and $1.29 on the way to work this morning.

[jimmysgirl424]

It's ranging from $2.25 to $2.30 for 89, $2.45 and up for premium.

I'm in Baltimore, Maryland

[alibaba]

It just went up here again this weekend.

In New York (Westchester) regular is about $2.49 and premium was $2.79 :eek:

[Freckles]

Chicago Suburbs
$2.25 $2.35 $2.45

[southerner]

shellbell516, do you mean $2.20, $2.28 and $2.29???? I hope so or I might have to drive wherever you live in NC to fill up :eek:

[annielynn]

Orlando gas prices are all over the board but the nominal range is somewhere around $2.19 and $2.29 for regular. More expensive near the theme parks and airport.

[tlew12778]

I beat you all! Here in Italy it's just under $6 per gallon.

[sandt8704]

[Annette]

[t3h_wookiee]

[Fireside Girl]

$2.45 for regular unleaded in Connecticut

[Zelda Von Yitz]

I just took it in the side for $2.25 a gallon...YIKES....

[TrulyBlessed]

$2.69 for regular unleaded at my local gas station, a mile from my house. I have to put premium in my BMW X5 which is $2.89/gal & it costs me over $60 to fill up each week. :eek:

[chiffani]

$2.39 last I checked ;)

[JillyBean]

It was $2.17 (lowest grade) when I filled up last.

[KaliLily]

I only notice the mid-grade prices since that's what I use. The Shell station right off the state route by my house is at $2.32/gal for mid-grade. If I go west about 5 miles (toward Winchester) I can get it for a whole penny less at the Shell station, and THREE pennies less at the Sheetz station. East toward Alexandria/DC is a lot more expensive, though!

[jenn0911]

I just filled up today at $2.47/gallon (the cheapest!) :(

[suzfuzsunflower]

$2.19 :(

[karlatta]

$2.16 in Houston today.

[princessjasmin]

I paid like $2.60 today in Los Angles and it wasnt even a known gas station but I had no gas left in my car!

[southerner]

our gas actually went down a few cents early last week, but now its back up. Some areas of town are $2.25-2.30 a gallon. While you can still find it for $2.18-2.24 in toehr areas.

Did y'alls';a gas prices fluctuate like that?

How much are you paying?

[Zelda Von Yitz]

Still about $2.30 in my area.

[bluberry]

$2.12 for regular unleaded

[MrsSmith]

I paid 2.01 this morning.

[southerner]

Wow Mrs.Smith!!! What part of Ohio are you in?

[MrsSmith]

Wow Mrs.Smith!!! What part of Ohio are you in?

Northwest...near Michigan...is that cheap or something? It was 1.97 at a few stations yesterday, but I missed it.

[southerner]

Yes, that's cheap compared to a lot of other parts of the country. Some of the CA girls are paying almost $3/gallon.

[MrsSmith]

Yes, that's cheap compared to a lot of other parts of the country. Some of the CA girls are paying almost $3/gallon.

It's pretty average around here. You can find more expensive parts, but they aren't the majority.

[jaeger]

$2.45 for regular here.

[HeatherFL]

I just paid $2.21 for regular this afternoon in Clearwater, Florida. I live in Tampa an I think it was $2.35 over there when I drove over the bridge this afternoon (had to buy in Clearwater since I wouldn't have made it over the bridge without gas LOL.)

H.

[Kaleidoscope]

I paid $2.33 for regular yesterday.

I don't think I'm ever going to get used to paying over $25.00 to fill up my little car :(

[Brandles]

DH got regular gas at Lancaster, Ohio for $1.99 yesterday!!!! :D :D

It's been anywhere from $2.12 to $2.39 around here.

[Heidi9771]

it went up recently...about $2.50 now for reg in NH :(

[southerner]

Ours has gone up to $2.30 (ish) a gallon :eek:

That's a 15 cent increase in a little over a week here (Greensboro, NC)

[usafwife]

Gas around here went up to $2.35. It had been around $2.20 last week.

[jbenny75]

I remember when you could fill up your gas tank for ten bucks. :(

It's costing me about $40 to fill up right now. I'm thankful I don't have far to drive to work.

[kadee_29]

It was $2.39 last week then went up to $2.45 then back down yesterday to $2.39 for roughly 6 hours before going up to $2.55.

[shopaholic]

8/9/05

2.45 for the lowest grade

[JamBray]

Ours just went up to about $2.77 for the lowest grade. :mad:

[hockeybrat]

I drove by a Shell station on my way home yesterday and it was $2.69 for Unleaded Regular

[LeslieandPaul]

It's hit $1.088/L. There's 4L in a gallon. So mulitple that price by 4 and turn into US$ (I think!) So it would be approx $5.66/gallon!!! Someone correct me if i'm wrong!

[shopaholic]

on my way home I noticed it jumped to $2.50 lowest grade

[hockeybrat]

It's hit $1.088/L. There's 4L in a gallon. So mulitple that price by 4 and turn into US$ (I think!) So it would be approx $5.66/gallon!!! Someone correct me if i'm wrong!


From Google.com:
1 US gallons = 3.7854118 liters

When I go to BC, I multiple by 4 to get an idea of the price.

[southerner]

Wow Leslie and Paul :eek:

[hockeybrat]

[PookiePrincess]

It was $2.29 Tuesday when I filled up and today it was 2.45...I wish I could just stop driving. It's really getting crazy!

[MLA]

I just filled up today. It was $2.75 a gallon for 87 octane. But I'm not complaining -- I could be paying $5-$8/gallon like folks in Europe.

[JillianS]

today it went up to 1.06 a litre, which converts into about $4.24/gallon.... wonderful...
(sk, canada)

[mermccau]

Boston area: About $2.40 for regular gasoline. Super is about $2.65, I think.

I do not pay much attention so I could be a bit off on my numbers.

[nekopie76]

In central NY: $2.65 for 87 and $2.83 for 93. :rolleyes: :eek: That is a $.26 increase in 1 week. Last Saturday I paid $2.39 for 87. :mad:

[MsRo]

I paid $2.49 yesterday morning but the boy said he saw it for $2.65 on his way home from work. We're in the far northwest metro of Minneapolis.

[Katie&Micah]

Ours went up twice yesterday.. from $2.35 to $2.40 and then up to $2.46 for the cheap stuff.. :(

[Rose]

The cheap stuff by my house is $2.69!

[LeslieandPaul]

Gas has been hovering at about $1.104/L the last couple days and last night it hit $1.13/L!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That works out to about $6US/gallon!!!!

[Katie&Micah]

[KitKat]

Over $3.00 in San Francisco :eek:

[grinsangel]

It's $2.49 here in central Indiana.

[LeslieandPaul]

I got gas for $0.994/L this afternoon (although list price was $1.029-gas stations here give $0.035 off/L)!!! It's scary that at this time that's cheap!

[MrsD]

$2.52 in Iowa. It is to the point where there will be people that won't be able to afford to go to work anymore.

[Fireside Girl]

$2.55 in CT. It went up 12 cents in one day!

[Kimberland30]

I try not to keep track of the gas prices because it's depressing, but I paid $1.65 yesterday for medium grade. I wish I could use the cheaper stuff but my car doesn't run as well. :(

[bensgirl1222]

I'd love to pay $1.65... I live in Maryland and we pay $2.80 mid-grade.

[southerner]

Kimberland 30 $1.65 would be considered the VERY cheap stuff here. Consider yourself very lucky!

[kam]

$1.59 for the cheap stuff and rising.

[Jaycee]

Here in Charlotte, NC it's $2.41

[southerner]

kam where are you? I think that's the cheapest I've seen from the ladies who are posting in this thread :eek:

[isign]

Ours is up to around $2.25 for the cheap stuff.

[kemaji]

Ours is anywhere from 2.39 - 2.59 for the cheap stuff now.

[Kimberland30]

HAHAHA, I messed up. It's $2.65 not $1.65 like I posted. Wishful thinking I guess!!

[LDS Angel 19]

Filled up yesterday for $2.55. Saw a place at $2.69. Ugh.

[LyLMyssChaos]

Filled up yesterday for $2.55. Saw a place at $2.69. Ugh.
Okay, shelly....I am soooo jealous....we live what 20 minutes from you? And today, our gas price is $2.79, $2.89 and yes....$2.99 :eek: :eek:

[cocoa_femme]

Okay, shelly....I am soooo jealous....we live what 20 minutes from you? And today, our gas price is $2.79, $2.89 and yes....$2.99 :eek: :eek:
Yesterday, DH and I went to Meijer in Royal Oak. Their gas was $2.55, as well.

[LynzeyAHL]

Lansing took a jump today too was 2.79 for reg on my way to work and 2.78 on my way home and it was 2.52 yesterday.

REGULATION they shouldn't be able to increase the price more than .10Cents a day in my oppinion

[kadee_29]

Battle Creek jumped up to $2.79 today as well. It was $2.58 yesterday.

[shopaholic]

Chicago (a western burb)

$3.00

[Atlanta_eBride]

Chicago (a western burb)

$3.00

OUCH! I thought $2.89 was bad here.

[MsRo]

$2.70 today.

This is so scary to me. If the prices stay this high (which I'm sure they will) the boy and I will spend over $1000.00 on gas this month. :eek: :eek:

[Jaycee]

Damn Bush!! :( :mad:

[KaliLily]

Ours just went up again. Now it's $2.52 for regular. That's a 30 cent increase in one week.

[DisneyGirl]

Our gas here in NJ just went up 20 cents over the last few days. Reg is now up to 2.59...Are they kidding me~~? I mean how the hell is anyone going to be able to live these days.! Something need to happen otherwise people are going to be going broke real fast!

[DisneyGirl]

I just went back and read some of the posts and here I am complaining about $2.58 and their are some of you paying $3.00 +..YIKES! By the time everyone fills there tank they will have no money left over from there paychecks.

[calliope_muses]

filled up at $2.47 yesterday. Much as I dislike living in the midwest it does sometimes have it's advantages...

[jessied1025]

Gas prices are right around $2.59 here.

We leave for vacation tomorrow and I am excited not have to drive my car around and waste gas! :)

[amberfiddles]

b/w 2.41-2.45 in east tn. i'm very happy to have my accord that isn't a gas hog!

[jennylou]

I know I posted at the beginning of this thread (or another just like it). Gas here is now $2.55 per gallon. The DJs on the radio station that I listen to were having people call in with the highest gas prices and some are as high as $2.99 per gallon. I only quote the ones that I pass by on a regular basis.

[heidi0622]

I got regular gas yesterday and it was $2.72. I drive by the exact same gas station this morning and regular is $2.83. $0.11 in 24 hours, YIKES!!! The premium gas is ranging from $2.95 to $3.05 now. This is insane.

I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I think Chicago is one of the most expensive areas for gas!

[KaliLily]

I mean how the hell is anyone going to be able to live these days.!

Precisely! It's not like our employers gave a "cost of gas" increase at the start of summer. I love my Highlander, and DH loves his Grand Prix, but they sure do hog gas! :(

[greenbunny]

My usual "cheapy" place was $2.39 for low-test on my commute this morning. Ack. I can't imagine paying what you west-coasters do!

[tlew12778]

Our gas here in NJ just went up 20 cents over the last few days. Reg is now up to 2.59...Are they kidding me~~? I mean how the hell is anyone going to be able to live these days.! Something need to happen otherwise people are going to be going broke real fast! That's easy. Basically if gas prices stay this high in the US, ppl will start doing what the Europeans do and 1) start investing in more fuel-efficient cars and/or 2) finding alternate means of transport like scooters and public transport.

SUVs are practically unheard of here in Italy. I know it's like this in France too. They sell them but no one buys them (unless you live in the mountains). They simply consume too much gas. And no one has 4WD or AWD here. That consumes gas as well. Also, we use manual shift cars as automatic transmissions consume more as well.

FWIW, cheap gas here is running 1.20 euro per liter. That's about $5.70 per gallon. But I've seen it much higher... closer to 1.30 euro per liter which is about $6.18 per gallon.

[ManteoChik]

Holy Crap! I would kill to have some of those gas prices. I'm from NC on the Outer Banks, it was pretty standard at $2.35 when I was home last week. I go to school in Daytona Beach, FL and gas here is at a whopping $2.69 and I even saw one place that had it for $2.79!!!!!! All for regular gas!

[jellybeany]

Ours is up to $2.61/gallon for regular in my town in western ny :eek:

[katmg]

The "cheap" gas this morning was going for:

$2.68/gallon for premium (I saw it elsewhere at 2.79/gallon for premium)

[lil_geek]

Based on today's exchange rate (1.1792)... I paid $3.39 US a Gallon for gas. (in south western Ontario)

(105.9cents Canadian per liter)

The part that peeves me off the most... yesterday I filled up for 91.9 cents a liter which is $2.95 per gallon.

How can it justifiably go up that much overnight? Yes, crude oil prices are rising... but a rise of a few cents per barrel should not equate to an immediate raise at the pumps since the gas we used today was actually bought MONTHS ago in the barrel!

[southerner]

it's up another dime here :(

$2.68 for the "cheap" stuff.

[bellezzadolce]

$2.42-$2.62

[LynzeyAHL]

I didn't understand this until I worked at a gas station, but the reason you see an immediate increase at the pump is the gas in underground tank is there on consignment from the distributer. The gas truck comes and fills it up and the gas station is charged for the amt of gas that was missing. The other 1000s of gallons are the property of the company that brought it there so when they send a price change notice we had to change it at the pumps or we would be loosing money on any that we sold.

Thats why I was screaming REGULATION a few pages back so that the distribution houses can't raise their prices more than 10 cents a day. Gas station owners make at most a penny a gallon profit. Thats why they sell pop and snacks. If you want to be mad at the gas station don't buy their fountain pop which is like a 90-200 percent mark up on what they pay for that box of syrup ;)

[jimmysgirl424]

$2.66 a gallon for the cheap stuff, up 33 cents from one week ago. Aarrgggh!! :mad:

I spent many years working at 2 different gas stations and I so had to second Lindsey's thoughts!! Hit them where it hurts, don't buy the convenience items. That is where they make their money. There is no mark-up on gas prices at all really. The basic breakdown of gasoline prices are as follows(%'s are approximate):
44%-Crude Oil
27%-State & Federal Taxes
15%-Refining
16%-Marketing & Distribution
2%-Profit

I also think that if we could make a more universal grade/blend of gas, that prices could come down, instead of having to have 35 different blends for every season!

[KKay]

$2.75 for regular unleaded!

[usafwife]

Unleaded regular has gone up from $2.49 to $2.59 to $2.63 in the last week.

[greenbunny]

I just heard on my commute this morning that the price of crude is going down in "anticipation" of the end of the US summer driving season. :confused:

Some guy named Craig Smith, apparently a gas expert/financial analyist, is saying that by this time next year we will be paying up to 5 bucks a gallon. If terrorists hit an oil field, we'll pay 10 bucks a gallon. Of course, he blames the Democrats' environmental activism for this. :rolleyes: But he was apparently dead on this year, he predicted the price would peak in late summer of 2005 at nearly 3 bucks a gallon and per national average he was exactly right.

[Sarah6690]

That sucks that I'll be needing gas before the weekend is over. On my way to work, it was at $2.79 for regular unleaded! Sheesh!

[mel7dog]

I paid $2.59 yesterday in NC on a military base! :rolleyes:

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

I paid 2.69 at the pump the other day and that was at Sam's Club!!! The prices are getting outrageous. I hate watching these movies that were filmed in the late 90s and the gas pump in the back ground says 97 cents. That's crazy especially because that was less than 10 years ago. How do we only go up a dollar over 60 years and then go up another $1.50 in one year?!?!

[ptrecluse]

$1.89 this morning, I'm sick thinking about it.

[katmg]

$1.89 this morning, I'm sick thinking about it.

$1.89?? I'll come live where you are!

:eek: If he was right about this year he could very well be right about next year. How are people going to afford to drive to work any more if it gets that out of hand!?!

[JuliaK]

$2.52 this morning. I'm in Central NJ which has a reputation for having cheap gas. Supposedly, NJ just doesn't charge as much tax.

[Vorian's_Leronica]

$2.58

[villanelle75]

$2.79 at the "cheap", no name gas station near my house. We have some of the msot expensive gas in the country and I've certinaly seen places where premium has broken the $3 barrier.

I bet in a few months you'll be able to get a great deal on a used SUV.

[southerner]

ours went down three cents this week!!!!!! It's around $2.59 now.

Isn't it crazy that I'm excited about saving a whopping 45 cents when I fill up tomorrow morning :rolleyes:

[Fireside Girl]

$2.59

[heather1029]

$2.78 (right outside of DC)

[curlyjr]

2.65-upstate NY

[birdchick]

R5.56 p.L - KwaZuluNatal, South Africa
and it is about to increase again in a few weeks. :mad:

[LynzeyAHL]

I just filled up at 2.55 and the stations around me were changing their signs to 2.75 :eek:

[briamcd]

Today $2.44, in Alabama. Down a little from last week.

[honeygirl]

Saw $2.85 on the way to work today. :(
I'm in the Midwest.

[Rancid13]

$2.79 at Chevron, $2.67 at Arco in Huntington Beach, CA

[bookworm]

$2.77 for regular was the last I saw (Boston). This may be a few days old.

[BonBon06-11-05]

$2.67 in Appleton, WI

[Sare79]

I just figured out that if you take the current gas price in Vancouver, BC right now and multiply it to get to a gallon, then add the exchange rate to make it US$, we pay $3.60 a gallon.

[Etoile]

DH said he paid $2.69 today (Boulder, CO)

[udsweetpea]

2.59 in Central Florida today

[AmberLynn2000]

$2.55 in SE PA today

[AmberLynn2000]

Isn't this sad -- anyone remember when it was $.99 ?? Those were the days... :rolleyes:

[shopaholic]

I bought gas this morning....$2.69 (came down about a few cents).


and YES, I do remember when gas was 99 cents.

[Holls]

$2.499, but i heard it's suposed to reach $3 by labor day! :eek:

[LynzeyAHL]

and YES, I do remember when gas was 99 cents.

was around 89-95 cents my first summer driving I remember bitching when it hit 1.01 around labor day haha those were the days!

[Zelda Von Yitz]

Isn't this sad -- anyone remember when it was $.99 ?? Those were the days... :rolleyes:

I remember when it was 29 cents. (this was the mid-Sixties). And I think the price that gas topped out at during the "gas crisis" of the mid-Seventies was 69 cents.

[Weddings by]

Washington (the state--not the one that's followed by D.C.)
$2.57 at Costco.
$2.79 along the freeway south of us.

[DelSol]

I live outside of Philadelphia, PA and it ranges from $2.60 - $2.65 (just depends on what part of town you are driving through).

[LyLMyssChaos]

$2.99 for regular this afternoon

[LynzeyAHL]

Premium is 3.21 on the way home this afternoon

[swcolleen]

Gas around here (central NJ) is around 2.59 regular.


Just an FYI-top off your tanks now b/c by the end of the week gas prices are going up...my DH works at a auto shop that sells gas too and he said the wholesale price of gas today went up 20% and so he expects to see an increase of around $0.50 throughout the week.

The sad part about all the gas prices....most of the gas stations make only a few cents a gallon even when these prices are high....

Gas and cars....its a vicious circle to drive us crazy!

anyway...back to gas price comparisons!!!

[Holls]

2.99 for the CHEAP STUFF!!!!! :eek:

[Jen&Dan]

$3.09 for the cheap stuff

[Holls]

Had to post again, bc i just talked to my mom in concord, nc.... a little outside of charlotte and she said that people are lining up at the pumps to get gas and that they are running out!!! that they said on the news that they could be without gas for 2-3 days!!!!! :eek:

[LyLMyssChaos]

$3.29 today for 87 octane....that's .30 more than yesterday at this time! :eek: :eek:

[hockeybrat]

This morning, gas was $2.92 for UL Regular at a Shell Station in Bellevue, WA; premium was $3.14.

It might have gone up by the time I leave here this evening.

[kadee_29]

Ours went from $2.79 yesterday at noon to $2.99 by 3 pm and today it was going up to $3.19 around 11 this morning although there are still one or two places that are still at $2.99.

[LyLMyssChaos]

$3.29 today for 87 octane....that's .30 more than yesterday at this time! :eek: :eek:

Okay...I take that back..DH just called me and it's up to $3.39 now...uggghhh..will it never end!?!?!?! :eek: :eek:

[swcolleen]

Its not going to end soon. my husband said it went up 21 cents at his shop the last two days and they expect it to go up again tomorrow afternoon....

[LyLMyssChaos]

Its not going to end soon. my husband said it went up 21 cents at his shop the last two days and they expect it to go up again tomorrow afternoon....

I swear....THIS is why I am a stay at home mom...I can not afford to work!! I would not even be making enough to hardly pay for gas, let alone daycare. And we do not have taxis, subways, buses, trains, carpools or any other type of public transportation here, so we have no choice to drive, especially because for me to get to any kind of job? It is at least a 10 minute drive doing 70 mph on the freeway! And there is no way I'm carting 2 kids behind a bike for 7 miles to a sitter, then 14 miles to work from that point. And that would be to simply make $6.75 an hour!! If I want a "real" job, I'd have to drive at least a half hour on the freeway doing 70!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Fireside Girl]

$2.89 for regular. It went up 20 cents overnight. :(

[kadee_29]

I stopped at a gas station before school tonight and the girl there said it would be $3.50 by tomorrow morning.

I swear my DH's company either needs to pay him mileage for the 100 miles a week he drives just to get to the office or he will be camping out in his office a few nights a week.

[kam]

Well well well. Apparently two major pipelines to NC are now closed and we have two weeks worth of reserves. Since that time, one local gas station ran out of all gas (except Diesel) and there are extremely long lines at the pump. The cheapest we've found it for is $2.99 (which is great compared to some areas). I'm just glad my husband switched jobs (no driving).

[Heidi9771]

at about 6pm in NH gas prices were about $2.99 for the lowest grade :(

The mobile down the street seemed to be having a crisis, and only the most expensive gas grade pumps were working. They lowered the mose expensive price down to $1.89 due to the fact that they didn't want to be a gas nazi, and I pulled in quick and filled up...the less expensive grades were more at $2.99+.

[swcolleen]

I filled up on plus at 5:30pm at 2.68....went to the same station (I walked) to pick something up at their store at 8:30pm....it was already 2.91....

If anyone is interested in learning a bit about the gas business and how the stations are actually not trying to rip us off....check out the last page of my journal

http://www.constantchatter.com/showthread.php?p=157527#post157527


*edited to add* I filled up with plus b/c the station was out of regular when I was there at 5:30....and there was still a line!

Be back tomorrow to see how it is going....

[Zelda Von Yitz]

As of 4 pm, $2.75 a gallon here in my area.

I live in Northern NJ. This is going to kill the middle and working class poor. Factor in that lots of people in this area do not have a workplace that is accessable by mass transportation. If they can't carpool with a coworker, they're stuck making the haul to the company by themselves in their own car.

I am looking for a full time job -- I am limiting my search to within 10 miles of where I live.

[mmeblue]

At the station closest to my house (usually cheapest on this side of town), it was $3.21 this afternoon, up from $2.57 this morning, I think. I went to a station close to where I work, and it was still down at $2.61 there - lines were really long, but people were still being nice to each other, which was good. Actually, the $2.61 was for regular, which they were out of, but the mid-grade was $2.71 - still better than the $3.21 from the place I usually go!

[mrstim]

Just now we drove to church and found it $2.95 here in our town - where our church was it was $2.40 at 8AM this morning and tonight was $2.77
