Wow!
I got gas in Central PA this weekend for 3.46.

Today it was $3.35 here in Pensacola, Florida. Hope yours drops too.

Yesterday it was 3.41 here in NJ--which, as always is full-serve. We don't have self-serve stations.

4.50 is definitely in the 'ouch' range.

Geez, Kat! I admit I don't notice the price of gas often so I was really surprised the other day when I saw gas for $3.44--and that was close to I-75 where it's usually more expensive.

Wow, we're at $4.27, but it's supposed to be up about 25 cents by the weekend. This really hurts, DH drives hundreds of miles per week in a big heavy 4/door 4/wheel drive truck for his engineering work - I don't get reiumbursed for mileage in any way until year end when I can claim it on taxes.

And, my 85 yr old mother is dealing with a compression fracture (vertebrae) that requires much help - household, being driven to appointments etc and she's 119 miles from my house so I'm driving much more too. Something needs to change with these fuel costs, the average person can't handle it - and overall costs for food, goods, are going up too related to the cost of gas.

BUT, my brothers wife (who is 55 miles the other side of Mother) just bought an all electric Nissan (Leaf?) and she's admitting what I'd guessed, it's a pain. Use windshield wipers, any speed at all, have passenger (weight) and it goes no place but very local trips. She's been trying to help out with Mom and will have to spend the night, put her car in the garage to charge it or she can't get home. Or she drives up in her own car, leaves it charging and takes Mom's back to her own job and city, switches again a day or two later.

$3.29, here, today!

I just did a quick conversion, and it works out that we are paying $4.76/gallon. And gas is cheaper right now to what it was just a week or so ago.

It's under $3.50 here. Wow is right. I can't understand the discrepancy.

$3.85 here. I think that's a lot considering when I was a kid it was 15 cents. I need a new car and gas consumption will be a big factor.

It's gone down a bit here. I paid $3.69/gallon for regular gas yesterday.

Oh, gosh, that's horrid. Price is $3.59 here, and that's more than bad enough.

Do you think people in general are cutting down on their discretionary driving? I am, but to me it's a simple matter of "if I spend it on gas I can't spend it on something else." I know some people who would rather go into debt than drive less.

"they" say it's going down all over the US but not out here. Nice! lol
Jasdip.. is that your imperial gallon, or is that the conversion you were talking about... changing it from that to the us gallon. what a pain, huh?

DS is commuting and hour (if there is no traffic at all)
each way to work. 1 1/2 hours with a little bit of traffic.
He isn't making enough money to pay rent up there though...

DH drives a diesel 4X4 for work. He has to deliver what he sells. He drives 40,000 miles a year. no lie. He bought the truck when diesel was less expensive than gas. It should be, as it is not refined as much. Less steps, etc. but now it's more expensive. And the job doesn't give him the total mileage that is allowable from the government, we can't claim the difference on taxes because it's not enough to claim, but it is a lot of money. lol

His poor truck has over 400,000 miles on it.

Kat, I changed it from Litres to a US Gallon

I paid 4.59 today. That's pretty much what it is where I live, for premium.

I don't get why gas prices aren't coming down, crude oil prices are coming way down but yet not gas prices but let oil prices go up a hair and freakin' gas prices skyrocket. What a racket gas prices are!

this was for regular... I don't ever use premium, so I
don't pay attention to that price. I don't know how much
diesel is either, just that it is more than premium.
' that's what we were talking about yesterday, Arkansas girl.
the price of a barrel goes up 5 cents and the gas prices
rise instantly! lol

It is only $4.31 here......maybe I should go fill up before it rises. It probably will tomorrow because of the holiday.

Well, somebody has to pay for the huge bonuses given to oil company (and bank, and other large company) execs, phhh. I think we need something like the French Revolution, off with their heads! :o)

Here in middle TN I just paid 3.31 for gas. I can't believe the difference in price.

Next time you gas up, pay attention to the tax per gallon. That where the large variance state by state comes from, mostly. Some of the price differences are artificial... in California we get the story that half the refineries are "offline" for routine maintenance, so that makes prices higher. Sheesh.

Here is a link that might be useful: gas taxes by state

Even here in ND where they pump out of the ground almost 600,000 barrels of oil each day, our gas is 3.59 per gal.

Not sure how the conversion works, but we are now paying 1.48 per litre and I understand that in BC we have the highest gas prices in North America. What is your price per litre Jasdip?
Jane

I was surprised to see out gas went down two cents a gallon since noon.
So we filled up.
I was thinking it would go up for the holiday weekend.

I paid $3.899 yesterday (Long Island NY) . I read in the paper that the price of gas is so high right now, people will forego travelling over the Memorial Day Weekend. but there's reason to believe prices will go down later in the summer.

Washington state has very high taxes on gas but even on the reservation where they don't have the taxes gas is selling at $4.25 a gal for regular.Off reservation land it is about 10 cents more a gallon. I did get gas on Thursday at Costco for 20 cents a gal less than the reservation.You bet I filled up!
They say part of the reason for the high prices here is the fire at the Cherry Point Refinery that has knocked it out of service. The longer it is down the higher gas will go here.

Our gas is around $3.35 right now. Before I get gas I go into the grocery store. My receipt gets me 8-10 cents a gallon discount. It varies from day to day.

Our gas price is $3.27 a gallon and everybody is complaining, yet they are grabbing bottled water at $1/pint which is $8 a gallon, and the most popular brand of bottled water in this area is actually our own city water bottled right from the tap....LOL. (Our city was rated as having the 2nd best municipal water in the entire USA, The city next to us was rated as having the best, and both cities suppliment the cost of operating the water system by selling bottled water all over the USA.

But then, even that is not a big deal when you consider that ppl stand in long lines to get coffee at Starbucks for a mere $16/gal.

My quetion is, why are ppl buying premium gas? All cars sold in the USA are designed to run perfectly well on regular gas...All you need to do is fill the tank with regular and have them do a tune up to calibrate the engine to the octane level of regular.

Lazypup, I have never heard of this. The high-performance cars....the SRT Dodge engines (and most German cars) run on Premium. The fuel burns higher on high-octane and the performance cars need the higher burning point to get the power. Also with everything done by computers, the computers might not even recognize how to calibrate the regular fuel.

I always buy regular. How many of you buy premium?

I buy premium. I drive a Mercedes.

We just returned from a trip to Ohio and the cheapest we found it was in AR....we found prices from 3.29 to 3.75....Our Motor Home gets less than 7 miles per gallon so prices counts for us.
