We're $3.55 or so for REGULAR. I almost choked when I saw the prices this weekend...

Hi,

An arm and a leg ~ plus my first born son a gallon here in sunny San Diego :)

shananigans 05-23-2007 10:49 PM

$3.39 :(

I need to trade in for a hybrid. Or get a job where I can work from home :yes:

Ouch!
 
We're blessed here on the border between GA & FL. It's still only :dizzy: $2.96 a gallon. We get ours with a Wally World gift card, so we save 3 cents ;)

Shelby, that's unbelievable! $4.84 a gallon in the middle of oil country :mad:.

Ouch, I thought it would have been California that was the most expensive.

Actually CLYDEGIRL for low grade it has been between $3.31 and $3.69 a gallon for the last week down here.

It is now $3.43 a gallon here. Does anyone else notice that this happens each yr. when the temperature goes up. It occurs to me that when we finally get lower gas heating bills, the price at the pump goes up.

I drive an Expedition and it costs $80.00 to fill it up. I'm glad I stay at home now. I try to conserve on my driving when gas prices are this high.

I just paid $3.49/gallon to fill up. Actually not any worse than what we are used to. It's been over $3 a gallon for well over a year. But I did make sure I got gas today before the price goes up for the holiday weekend.

DH and I have been thinking of buying bicycles to get to work. We live very close to his job, but it'd be a 5 mile ride each way for me and I'm not in the best shape. I'm looking into getting a bike with electric assist for the days when I'm too tired to peddle.

It's $2.99 here in nowhere, Tennessee. It's been like that for a few weeks now. I was in Nashville today visiting the parents and it's up to about $3.25 there. For some reason it doesn't seem like it's that much of a crunch on my budget... I drive an old Volvo (gets about 25 mpg) and I've just been consolidating trips. The only places I drive on a regular basis are work and the gym, and both of those places are within 5 miles of my house. I live within walking distance to the university, and there's a convenience store right around the corner. So I guess I'm lucky even though this town has nonexistent public transportation.

$3.22 here in Northern New York (near Watertown).

Although...we have a grocery store in our neck of the woods called Price Chopper and they have an Advantage Card that you use to get specific specials on certain items. Well...about a year ago they started to have a save-at-the-pump program where for every $50 you buy on groceries and use your Advantage Card, you save 10 cents on a fill up. Well..I'm a professional grocery shopper and in a month I got that reduction up to $1.10 a gallon, bringing my price to $1.91 or so a few months ago!! I filled up the ole Blazer with $25!!! Of course, I can only do that once a month or two...but it's nice to get that break every now and then...and you can only go to participating Sunoco stations and the only one I know of is right in front of Price Chopper and it's always packed so it takes a while to pay for it, etc...but still very much worth it!!

You poor Canadians...I had no idea it was so bad up there!! If the prices here get that bad, I'll have to quit my job or at least crunch all my hours into one long day.

Lilybelle...I have noticed that it does go up at certain times of the year but it has never been this high before, not here anyway.

We were up to $3.29 over this past weekend but it is down to $3.19 today, lol. Still high and some are saying it will go up to $4, yikes! Glad DH works 5 minutes from his job.

srmb60 05-24-2007 01:50 PM

I had to do some math but I believe it to be about $4.05 here today.

CarolynFL 05-24-2007 02:56 PM

Too Much!! 3.43 per gallon for the cheap stuff when I filled up the other day. Unreal!

Jayjay55 05-24-2007 03:43 PM

Another Canadian paying over $5 a US gallon. We have huge discrepancies across the country of course we are the highest of all. Last year we made the decision to purchase a smaller car and car pool. I end up having to wait up to 45 minutes a day --- but its worth it when I pay the fuel bill each month. Our SUV rarely goes anywhere and only costs about $50 to fuel up.
