I had to fill-up on Friday, but when I saw the price I wanted to wait a day or two to see if the price came down at least a little bit. No such luck so I filled up yesterday after Church . I use 87 octane and it was $2.459 a gallon (I really hate that nine at the end - why not just bump it up to the nearest whole penny?!). I think the 93 octane was around $2.759 a gallon. :puke

 

Getting used to it as there is not much I can do about it at this time.

 

So what is the price in your neighborhood?

$2.25 again. It went from 2.25 on Thursday to 2.49 on Friday right back to 2.25 on Sunday. And honestly I don't know how gas isn't closer to $3.00 a gallon with the way that crude has gone up in the last month.

I admit the prices SUCK! But let's have fun, let's have one of our UK folk tell us their prices!!!

Gas where we are is about 2.45-2.55

My dad always talks about the price of petro (sp?) back in Ireland (before he came here). When my aunt and uncle were here on a visit from Ireland, they were talking about the price of gas there and here and how they were used to high prices.

$2.299 to $2.459 in Urbana.

I nearly cried paying 2.26 today.

A little different perspective out here in Arizona. I pay 2.23 for .87 octane on base and its anywhere from 2.29 to 2.35 a gallon in town.

i dropped $30 for 12 gallons of 87 this morning.

$2.63 or so here, but then again, look at where I'm typing at.

 

See, this is why my only transportation is a bicycle.

 

If you're crying paying $2.25, be worried, because it's a lot more likely to go up in the next 10 years than it is to go down. And up by a lot too.

same price here.

I filled up on saturday and it was like 2.45 or something like that.

that hurt.

$2.45

$2.50

2.19 here in Bham

Gas prices have dropped to under $59/barrel.

 

Around me it's in the neighborhood of $2.43.

When I was driving around this morning, I believe the cheapest was $2.379

The last time I filled up it was just over 2 bucks a gallon. I intentionally didn't stop at a place where the gas was 2.26 (ethanol) because I thought it was high for the area.

$2.17, but they are having gas wars at those stations.

$2.19

 

Keep in mind that we are paying a huge amount of tax on the gas. It's the ultimate user tax.

Remember when Ross Perot was pining for a 50 cent increase in the federal gas tax?

 

I wonder how well that would have gone over today.

He would have asked for $1.00 today.

$.50 then would have made gas what it should have been then and we wouldn't be b****ing about these prices.

 

Gas is still cheap... compared to what it could be.

Million Dollar Baby was pretty shocking to me.

Wrong thread there killer.

As shocking as gas prices?
