I'm curious to see how much gas prices range throughout the country and even the world.
It's anywhere from $3.99 to $4.09 by me.
I hate gas, damnit.

$4.59 (Premium) over here in Chicago. It takes 55 bucks to full my tank.
Sir Bliss

Oh yeah. I probably should've specified whether I use premium or unleaded.
Well, I use unleaded. I'll take the cheapest I can get, thank you very much.

I live in California, and the last I paid was $ 4.59 ( for unleaded). Its been stable for about a week now.
I have a Prius though, so I get about 50 mpg. I can still get through all month for under $ 100.00. It used to cost me about $ 40.00 a month, though.:(

Well... converting to dollars, the gasoline here in Brasil is sold at about US$ 1.50-1.60 / liter.

Well... from the google, 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters, so the price here is about US$ 5.70-6.05 / gallon.
And you all are complaining even if you pay less than US$ 5 / gallon...

Last time I filled up in Western Massachusetts, premium was $4.20, ironically. I have to run at least 91 in my car, I don't really have a choice.

Here on the Gulf Coast I'm paying $4.50 for premium (93 octane). I drive about 150 Miles per week. I can stretch an 18 gallon tank of fuel for about 2 1/2 weeks. That's if I'm ***really*** stretching it.

A little lower in Texas here since we get some of our supply locally from the refineries and offshore drilling near the coast, which makes the supply chain shorter. $3.94 a gallon (regular) is our current average. There are some stations charging a dime more than that, but $3.94's what all the station prices on my way home today said.
Can't imagine how you guys are doing it where you have to drive that many miles to work, Illinois and Daihashi. I can't imagine what it would feel like to pay that and then have to endure California traffic, either, and let that much gas go toward nothing more than idling.
I'm going to start riding my bicycle to the office. I already hoof it between office and hospital, which is about a half block. We're looking into getting a hybrid right now because Bird has to cover some territory to get to school. What I really want is an all-electric or all hydrogen cell pickup truck.

There is supposed to be on-going testing in Japan of a hybrid Tundra. Its supposed to have more power than an F-350 diesel, and gets close to 50mpg on regular gas. I understand that there are a dozen of them that are being tested. I have only heard this once... if its true, then they are keeping it close to the vest so they don't get up-staged by the competition

The gas prices here range from low $4 to high $4. I've seen two gas stations right across from each other with a 20 cent difference. And some people are actually using the expensive one! :wtf: I stopped driving. Sold my car, and walk everywhere. If I need to get somewhere far, I'll call up someone and even with dishing out $20-$50 gas money depending on where I want to go along with a couple of js I'm still saving a ton. Even when I get off of disability I plan on using public transportation.

i think the uk has some of the most highest fuel prices. i dont even drive but i think i comparison to what some countries and most states are paying we (uk) are being ripped off by our own government
if our government is in that much need of more money they should do something like california a few other states did with marijuana for medical use, instead of increasing fuel prices to the point where its gettin ridiculous i mean really the highest prices over in the states are like 6 dollars to the gallon or something, then over here the highest prices work out to around 20 dollars a gallon.
tell me fellow americans would you pay 20 dollars for a gallon of fuel?? or even 12 dollars??

bad timing this afternoon. gas was $3.84 a gallon when i pulled into the parking lot of the station. as i got out of the truck and was getting ready to swipe the debit card, i look over and notice that a store employee has climbed the ladder, on the gigantic sign post next to the store, and changed the price to $3.94. sucks.
oh, um.. hi everybody. long time since i've posted.

It was $4.69!
(Just pennies under $50 for a fill up- ouch!:( ) When I was in college last time, I did a paper on the price of our local gas- only place higher was Hawaii!
And do you guys know about this very cool site? (Granny's always got a site! :D )
GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada (http://www.gasbuddy.com/)
I use it every time I take a "more than local" trip!

No two ways about it, things are going to get worse before they get better! Gas WILL hit $5 around Xmas. Are you ready? Got a bike, motorcycle or can you carpool? Plan your car use- no more just popping out to buy a few sodas. And take note of those "mileage tricks" you can do to increase your MPG.
I'm increasing the size of my veggie garden- food prices will only go up. Heavy on big winter squash, onions, etc- keepers. Salad stuff and melons, too. Some in pots to take in come fall. Wish I was where I could keep chickens! (Garbage in- eggs and meat out! :thumbsup: )
I have these big metal popcorn tins that are great to store flour in- each one holds 15 lbs of flour (regular, bread & whole wheat). I have 2 each of bread and regular (whole wheat can go bad with long storage) and plenty of yeast and baking powder. Oatmeal, corn meal and beans the same way. If you see something that keeps (and you use) at a good price, stock up and store it properly.
With global warming, weather disasters will continue to hit us. Are you ready?
Can you amuse yourself when the power is off? Is your house all electric or gas? Do you have an extra pack of toilet paper and buckets to hold water? Do you have an "emergency kit" and a food stash (enough nonperishables for a month- frozen doesn't count)? Don't forget the pets- do they have a food stash? If you take meds, do you have extra for an emergency? Does your family have a plan of where to go and/or who grabs what?
Guys, a day or two thinking and acting now, could save you a whole lot of grief later! The Boy Scouts are right about being prepared.

Ugh, I hate how inflated the gas prices have become. It's anywhere from $1.30-1.40 a liter in my area of Ontario, Canada. It costs me $60 to fill my tank most of the time, and I generally only let it get down to just below a quarter tank.
I found this little retro red & white bike so I just ride that most places. Riding my bike baked it quite the adventure!!:thumbsup:

I've started driving slower to try to curb the rising costs. I typically drove about 70mph before and got about 28mpg, now I drive about 60mph on the freeway and I am getting approx 33-34mpg.
Costs me $72 to fill up every 10-11 days this way.. That's not too bad. Now I can fill up 3 times a month instead of 4.
woohoo. :thumbsup:

I posted earlier that I got 93 octane for $4.20 awhile ago.
I'm glad to report that the same station went down to $4.17 for 93 as of today, small change but it's still went down for once instead of up.

I found a gas station that was selling gas for 3.78 a gallon. It was by complete luck. I didn't even realize till after I filled up. I was pumped...
..no pun intended.
