2.09 a gallon here in Baltimore. Yuck.

The last gas price I remember seeing around here was $1.93/gallon. Of course, this was back on Sunday, so they've had time to raise the prices.

Hrm, most of you guys are using the American system, soooo....*converts*

99.9¢/L CAD = $2.77/gallon USD

Wow...a lot more expensive than I thought. Unless I converted wrong.

Wow... that's crazy.
I thought I had won with the $2.32 to $2.42/gallon USD. What sucks is that I drive on premium.. so I pay the max price. $40 to fill up my tank... and I get like a crappy 17 miles/gallon. Did I ever mention I hate gas guzzlers?

Paid 2.03 a gallon last time I got gas. I think it's up to 2.07 now. (In Jersey)

I think my RAV4 actually has a teeny weeny bit better gas miliage then the old taurus I used to drive. But not much.

I really really need a job. :?

Yoshi, you should come out to the valley once in a while. Its usually about 10 cents cheaper in the Abbotsford/Chilliwack area.

It seems to be going up every fortnight so I really don't know the current prices. I asked my dad about it and he said, "It's life, no big deal."

hmm... 1.98$ to 2.03$ For a gallon is the price range were I live.

:) Why don't you sell or trade in the gas guzzler and get a better ([which is generally] foreign!) car? Or do you have one of those evil leases? Those things are most definitely evil...mmm hmm. Why do you drive on premium? I don't think it really makes that big a difference, really...though I don't have any statistics.

I live in jersey, well south jersey. Gas is only about 1.97 or a little more around here. Well you mite live in the central parts or hifher and whatnot, I thinking my gas is cheap when it really isn't at all once I second look, they change so often that I can hardly keep track with the prices though.

I'm 17; I don't own my car (my parents do) so I can't do much about it. I've considered filling with regular, but the thing is so crappy I'm afraid it might stop. It already sputters along on premium. After my last car died on the way to school (and it was pouring, lovely), I'm deathly afraid of having a car die on me. I have to wait 6 months to get another one. We just can't afford another car at the moment.

Oooh, I'd love to. But that'd just waste a lot more gas (thus more money), considering how far I am from Chilliwack, lest Abbotsford. O_o

Now I'm actually seeing large lineups at stations when the price is 90.9. Several months ago, the stations would've been nearly empty. Several years ago, the stations would've been...deserted. Ah, I remember those prices in the 40 range...

I'm in California, and with the budget thing and the oil crisis, we're probably the most affected state. Gas is about $2.30 a gallon and it keeps going up!

Fri Jun 04, 2004 2:39 am

1.93 or something a gallon, last time I checked. There was this pic on CNN one day that had prices like "499.99" "An Arm" "A Leg" and it's true. Gas prices are increasing really fast.
