How bad are you getting hit at the pump?

Just curious what gas prices are like around the country (and world) these days. Here in San Diego we peeked at $3.40 a couple weeks back but it has slowly dropped to $3.19.

Here in Southeast NY, it is 3.12 for regular....I was out in Central Pennsylvania last weekend and the lowest I found there was 2.74....

Near Madison the average price for the cheap stuff is about 2.85, I'm paying about 2.95 for diesel fuel.

I feel ya. My personal truck holds 50 gallons. That would be what, $160 to fill.[:(!]

Floatin around 2.80 currently, diesel is finally under three again. I just cut back on my soda intake and there is plenty of money from that to keep the fleet full.

$2.60 in Northeast Georgia. (could be worse I guess)

What qualifies as regular? I love how Colorado newcasters always make us out to be lower than the country average. Never mind the fact that they're comparing our regular (85 octane) to everyone else's regular (87 octane...although I think Utah might be 85, too).

Just one of those curiosities of living in Colorado I guess. Kind of like having to read High Altitude directions when one cooks certain pre-packaged things.

$2.90 of Regular here in Rochester New York.

We work within a mile of the house, gas is irrevelant to us. For now.

Having said that, we do fill the cars once a week. compared to last year's prices and the year before that it is an increase of 10 dollars a tank, easily compensated by hand preparing our own food for work instead of buying lunches or snacks at work.

We do watch where we take the car, a trip to the LHS that might be weekly 2 years ago is only a monthly or is part of another trip like a doctors' appointment in the same area. Purchases are planned months in advance.

Well well, lucky you.[;)] Actually I drive a company truck so it's even more irrelevant to me.[:D][8D]

I recall when Desiel hit 2.00 a month back in the late 80's and the trucking was in a uproar.

I did find a Jersey Fuel stop with a 1.20 price of fuel and filled it (@200 gallons I think it was) and opened my big mouth on the radio and caused a 2 mile backup on both sides of that street waiting to fill from that poor man's tiny storage tank. I never did find out if everyone got thier fuel at 1.20 =)

I was amazed that gas actually went down over the Memorial Day weekend, and found the lowest price ($2.81) at a station in a tiny town - the place you'd expect the highest price! Filled up Monday and will fill up tomorrow. Haven't been watching otherwise.

$2.97/gal. for regular in suburban Lincolnwood, IL, and $3.05 here in Chicago.

Guess where I buy my gas?

[Anonymous]

It's been 2.89.9 here for quite some time. We decided not to take a day trip over the holiday, and so didn't spend $45-50 in gas. It was kinda nice just staying put. We are driving fewer miles with the higher price, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Just a choice.

Low $2.60s here in the Funcoast of Florida.

I earlier reported $2.69 for reg in Sarasota and it has now gone to $2.82 - no real reason why.

Two weeks ago I was in Laguna Beach, CA and supreme was $3.93! When I remarked about the price, the station attendant said "Shell just sent us 4s..." which I suppose gets them ready to post prices of $4+.

I really do LOVE my Honda Civic Hybrid.

...With figures quoted in several posts above and my own experience of seeing 10 - 12% or more money changes back and forth daily...it really is most difficult to believe anything of the banded about reasoning: Supply and demand....I believe that reasoning less and less each day that passes with price changes we're seeing.

[tatans]

$1.09/litre (CDN) I think that's about $25.00/gal.

[canazar]

Out here Pheonix, it has finally semmed to come down from the 3 dollar marl Some places are now in the 2.94-2.99 range.

I have a small business and my income is always being wathced. I dont have much in the way ofextra dollars and living lean has become the norm. This gas crunch (Katrina, now) has been kinda rough. I dont go out to railfan as much and there is still a new train store that I have not been to yet due to the fact its 30 miles away. I cant jusitify spenidng 12 bucks in gas ( I drive a Dodge ) just too look around or buy a 10 dollars train car kit. Argh.... But atleast it is coming down, and I will take that.
