Gas Prices

I just filled my small little tank for $48. Of course it could be worse, but I just did the math, and we've spent $300 this week on gas, not including whatever H spent this morning before hitting the road.

The cheapest I've seen in my neighborhood is $3.77/gallon.

What about where you live? How much is gas?

Re: Gas Prices

  • It is about $3.50 in the Denver area.  It sucks!  I realize we are usually lower than the rest of the country, but I have a freaking 45 mile commute.  Thank God I have a car with very good gas mileage. 

    $300 in a week!?!  How much do you guys drive?

  • It is around $3.80+ in Orlando.  I put $60 gas in my car last Friday and I already need gas and I avoided driving anywhere but to work this week now did I go out last weekend.  I'm starting to ponder a mpod... i'll look hott on one right?!? lol  H likes to rub in that he only puts gas in his car about once a month because his work is only like 4 miles from the house plus he has the motorcyle that he occassionally takes and that thing gets like 50 miles to a gallon.

  • Is it bad that I have no idea? I have to get it one way or the other so I just pump it and deal with it. Lately I'm on a schedule where I only need it once a week - sometimes once every other week and it always falls on the weekend so H will pump it and then I really don't pay attention.

  • I remember when I was 16 and would get beyond upset when gas jumped from $0.95 a gallon to $0.98 and it was $12 to fill my tank instead of $10 which would take that $2 away from my $3 pack of cigarette which are now $7 a pack LOL

  • Time has certainly changed when it comes to prices of EVERYTHING!!!!

    We drive A LOT.  I drive about 300/400 work miles a week and H is probably like quadruple that. He drives A LOT, like a rediculous amount.  He doesn't try to be efficient with the gas pedal though (he's on a strict time schedule during the day) whereas I take my sweet ol time during work time to get to where I need to go.

    It's so depressing when I see how much money goes out b/c of gasoline.

  • I got gas at Costco's on Tuesdya and it was $3.71. We drove by it yesterday and it was $3.74. All the other gas stations around here are $3.77-3.80. Its ridiculous!!

    I'm glad I only have a 5 mile commute to work. That is just about the only thing I will miss if we move from this area.

    I feel like gas has gone up WAY more than every other thing. Lots of stuff has gone up, but gas is insane.

    When I first started driving I thought the 85, 87, 89 thing was the price b/c that's about how much it was!

  • The gas station at the corner was $3.99 last night.  We usually get our gas at Costco, so it is less than that. 

    We usually have to fill up once a week. Thankfully (I guess) we only have 1 car, and with H's schedule I don't get to drive much.  

  • $3.85 here.. ugh..
  • It's 3.85 to 4.05 here.  I usually don't drive much but drove 4 hours to pick up my tri bike today. 

    And we're trying to book our next trip and I feel like we have to do it asap because of the gas prices but we can't figure out where to go!
