Freakin' $2.05 a gallon! How much is a gallon of regular in your area?

Although, IMHO, that is closer to what a gallon of gas should cost in America (to bring us more in line with the rest of the globe), moving the price a large amount in a short time as has recently occurred can really screw things up. In many ways.

Smells like... erupting inflation.

Phew. It stinks.

So - what is a gallon of regular at your nearest petrol dispenser?

West Texas

If I drive 20 minutes I can get it for $1.93 but is it worth it?

To be honest, I live out in the boonies and it's a 60 miles trip to get most anywhere. I've had to rethink my driving habits lately. I get good gas mileage but I seriously can't afford to fill the car up much.

if you search you can find it as low as 2.19

At Costco last week though I paid $2.09.

A few kms out of town, you can find it for 81 cents per litre.

... that was the other day.

:bounce:

I paid 1.98.9 in Stevens Point Wisconsin.

Don't know what it is today.

I use unleaded plus, so $1.82 for me. They're fucking us on the gas.

some of the highest prices in all of florida and looks like they are going to go up in the next few weeks.

In San Diego (North County).

went to a gas station last Thursday morning and it was $1.75. Went there again Saturday and it was $1.99. 2 friggin' days!

:mad::crazy::mad:

Here in Eastern Iowa. Last week I went to work at 4:30 A.M. and gas was $1.76/gallon. When I got off at 5:00 P.M, it was $1.86. So since Friday, it has gone up by $.15/gallon. Ridiculous.:wow: :grr:

My car gets very high mileage per gallon. However, this is getting freaking ridiculous.

Prices have jumped 20-30 cents a gallon in the past few weeks in North Jersey.

Still cheap after adjusting for inflation.

But I'm not in the US :7

I however use diesel for my pickup. That costs $0.75 per gallon.

Government controlled price. So it's all the same at every gas station no matter where in the country or brand.

i wouldn't mind paying extra if it wasn't lining the pockets of greedy bastards.

:grr:

Chesapeake, VA. Paid $1.65 at this very same station just last week.

bargain prices for gas here in the US ever since I can remember, it is a bit strange to see gas going for $2.30 where I am (near Seattle)
And it will get worse.........:(

$6.95 in rural of Scotland.
Prices converted to Dollars (High Octane Unleaded or LRP)

These oil whores have got to go.

What does that work out to in Litres?

killing the earth in the process

& SUVs are becoming more popular. I tend to get forced off the road every other day by some daft bint on the school run driving up my street to fast in one, while I'm cycling to work.
:grr:

this week.

Premium is around $2.15, I think.

What stuns me is how quickly it goes up. I can drive by a station in the morning and it will be one price, and then that afternoon it will have gone up. And then the next morning it will have gone up again.

this will defeat Bush for sure.

Fill-up: $43.00. And I drive a car.

:-(

:mad:

But I've seen it as high as $2.05.

.

This is getting insane!

Across the River in Menominee, MI it's a little cheaper over there due to Michigan's much lower gas tax, it was $1.93 over there yesterday.

I think they'll go over 2 bucks in Marinette today.

energy is far too inexpensive - that's why we waste so much of it.

get a bicycle

I paid about $1.64 2 weeks ago.

... air quality non-attainment areas. People in clean air areas are ok; I'd target the tax on environmental bad actors. I would NOT tax oil as a chemical feedstock. Nor would I tax gasoline or diesel fuel for commerical vehicles; the goal is not to cripple the economy. The target should be discretionary driving and urban sprawl, and a stiff gas tax is a way to discipline consumers.<p>It would also raise a significant amount of money.

It's getting nutty, and I buy Premium (over $2.50)!

Luckily my Insight gets 60 MPG.

I pitty the Hummer drivers.
