The price of gas

Re: The price of gas

I spent $2.09 last fill up (2/22) here in the Pacific NW. I have 2 gas cans in my van for the next fill up, so I can run my mower.......... If I find a cheaper price pretty soon, I'm going to make a big purchase & get all my cans filled & put in the shed so I can mow at the cheaper price. We're coming down it looks like, seemed like my last gas was $2.29.

I work at home, so don't use much, but I'm careful about it anyway........I remember when a drive used to be something considered "free" to do. Not these days! We've all become masters at grouping our errands & trips out. Takes long enough, I pack snacks for the kids!

Re: The price of gas

Ours is up to $2.29-2.49. I have to use the $2.49 in my car, actually in 3 of our cars.

Re: The price of gas

I'm going to have to give up driving if it gets much higher. I paid 2.53 this past week but I did manage to get the tank full. The news said our gas in the Pac. NW was going to be over $3 a gal pretty soon, definately before summer gets here. I know this isn't high for most other countries.....so I shouldn't whine. But, I'm really thinking about my driving here!!!

Re: The price of gas

Its hoving in the 2.50 range here. I gotta do something about getting my driving under control. I just hate to put money in the tank, not that I can't afford to pay for the gas, but something about filling up costing me 50 bux does something negatively to me mentally.

Re: The price of gas

Central NJ is about $2.26 last I checked. I have a Ford Focus which gets anywhere from 25-34 mpg, and I work less than 4 miles from my apartment, 4 days a week. I've put on 3400 miles in 5 months, with two 700-mile round trips to Rochester NY and back. My boyfriend has put on 1200 miles in the past 4 months-- Still not going to complain about gas prices.

Re: The price of gas

At the moment petrol (what australians call the gas that goes in your car) is $0.88 USD ( $1.25AUD) per litre (no not a spelling mistake). There are 3.87 litres per gallon. 3.78 x 0.88 = $3.33 per gallon.
And that is in a major metropolitan centre. In country areas it can be as high as high ast $8.00 a gallon. Ususally the further inland you go the dearer it is.
So think of us poor aussie when your filling your car up.

Re: The price of gas

it's $2.49-$2.65 per gal for regular here. I know it varies by a few cents from station to station but during our drive today that's what I was seeing. Crazy huh?

I think we're all in the wrong business & should invest in OPEC they're making insane profits & jack up the prices for every lil excuse they come up with. Oh look a potential hurricane here or no maybe it was there, maintenece on this refinery, or their bottom line was looking pitiful so they raised the prices.

Re: The price of gas

Americans don't realize how cheap things are in the U.S.--Singapore gas price: US$1.02 per litre. 3.78 litres per gallon (thank you to Tgavin71 for this conversion formula) means people who live here pay US$3.87 per gallon.
