I still don't understand how everyone flies by me doing 80+. Georgia has some of the cheapest gas, but that doesn't mean I want to spend all of my money filling up my gas tank just because I burn gallon after gallon of gas feeding my need for speed. I let everyone fly by as I creep at 60-65. If you leave earlier, you'll get there on time.

Trust an ATL traffic veteran. *sigh*

I told you about those old wive's tales :D

You may save a little gas by going slower, but not enough to warrant the extra time it would take to get to your destination. The gas will burn either way, so you may as well drive in a normal manner.

LB1914 10-29-2004 04:19 PM

You may also want to watch where you get your gas these days. Places like RaceTrac and Citgo may be cheaper, but they also tend to water down their gas. That's why it may seem like your gas is burning faster when you haven't really gone anywhere.

1.98
2.03
2.09
which has led me to believe i made the right choice by not driving.

Conskeeted7 11-01-2004 10:19 AM

I'm still in the 1.80s around here. But it did take $34 to fill up this morning. :mad:

beauty_6049 11-03-2004 06:55 PM

Since I only buy unleaded, right now it is $1.76. I was soo happy when I saw that this morning!

WHAT!!???

We have been above 2.15 for unleaded for a long time now.

KSigkid 11-09-2004 10:22 AM

We've been around the 2.00 mark for a while now in MA...it fluctuates day after day.

My fiancee and I found a place in the city where it's usually a bit less.

Compared to other countries though, things aren't so bad here.

Conskeeted7 11-09-2004 01:14 PM

I paid 1.70 for unleaded yesterday. That's lower than it's been in a while.

Blue Fire #3 11-09-2004 04:04 PM

I paid 1.88 today in New Orleans :( Gas has me broke! It takes me $34 to fill up so I have to cut my trips extremely short!

OrangeMoon 11-09-2004 04:38 PM

$2 right now...I can't even remember what a full tank of gas looks like and if I calculate it I would get mad and walk. Well maybe not walk umm ride a bike but wait winter is just around the corner. Well maybe I will look in a carpool or something. :(

There are 2 gas stations in Charlotte on Wilkinson Blvd that charge $1.83. I went there yesterday after work and there was a line at each pump, but I understand. Everywhere else in this city is at least $1.91 and up.

LMAO!! That's the way it seems. I used to pay $1.82 for unleaded and it would last for 2 weeks with air/heat/radio. Now with $1.89 its seems like what you have mentioned above. I use the window whenever possible now. Even in pollen season :(

delph998 03-09-2005 04:05 PM

I filled up yesterday. Paid $2.15/gallon. Yeah, I was sick about that!

EssenceofElle55 03-09-2005 05:16 PM

Gottcha beat. I paid $2.25 the day before yesterday here in S.Cali. Guess there won't be too many trips to the beach this summer.:mad:

AKA2D '91 03-09-2005 07:46 PM

I was on "E" and put $20 in the tank @ $1.95/gallon. I still do NOT have a full tank. :mad:

Gyrl7 03-09-2005 07:52 PM

It costs me almost $40.00 to fill up baby girl and she's only a Camry.....:mad: :rolleyes:

9dstpm 03-10-2005 08:42 PM

Dang it!! I just got the heat fixed in the Green Machine!! Now we have to ration the heat in the car so we won't burn up a lot of gas!!

delph998 03-10-2005 09:47 PM

There won't be leisure driving any time soon until prices go down!

darling1 03-11-2005 01:06 AM

$1.95 is relatively cheap. Here in Kollyfornia, I paid $2.26 at a Costco for 87 octane unleaded. It's more expensive at outside gas stations.

I'm thankful that I have a small car that gets decent gas mileage and no longer feel embarrassed because I'm 40 and still have a small car. I'd rather spend my money on other things.
:o :p

Conskeeted7 03-17-2005 10:51 PM

We paid $71 to fill up today :mad: :eek: :(

dayum, Conskeeted7, ...what are you driving, a city bus?

a friend who works in that industry once told me that Tuesdays/Wednesdays were the best (read: cheapest) days to buy gasoline. For the most part I've found that to be true.

I'd feel better if it was a city bus. That way I'd be able to get some money back by charging fares...We filled up the Mountaineer and put a few gallons in the other car for $71...it hurts to even say that.:(

ADPiZXalum 03-18-2005 05:32 PM

I saw a place yesterday that was
2.05: regular unleaded
2.15: the medium grade junk
and 2.25 for premium.

Highway robbery!!!

Steeltrap 03-18-2005 05:36 PM

This morning, I filled my 13.2 gallon tank Mazda at a Costco in Irvine, Calif. I put in just over 10 gallons, and it was $2.27 for 87.
91 octane was $2.43. Costco doesn't sell 89.:confused:

strivingsf 03-18-2005 06:09 PM

Gas is still between $1.87 and $1.89 for 87 in Central NJ

There's a Chevorn here that was $2.01 for regular, 2.11 for mid grade and 2.21 for premium. HC I just about died because gas prices are 1.95-1.99 for unleaded? HC I going to have to get a part-time job just so I can have gas money?:rolleyes: :p :o

You think this is bad, it's going to get worst. One of the OPEC member nation, Indonesia, have just announced that they will not be able to meet their quota. Less petrol will be entering the market. :(

This is vastly different then the 1970s. Instead of politics, this time it's the market that is raising the price. Unlike the 70s, we have two emerging powerhouse that is absorbing a lot of petrol. Namely China and India. There is no sign that the growth rate of those two countries will be slowing down. Although China is now trying to lower their growth rate by a percentage point. So, expect even higher petrol prices in the near future.

I believe that is Malibu, California, home of the rich and famous. I don't feel sorry for those customers. If you live in Malibu, you can pay $3 a gallon for gas.

SummerChild 03-21-2005 08:31 PM

The newscasters are also saying that another difference is the huge demand for oil by the U.S., caused by the plethora of SUVs now on our roads. I know one thing: I paid $2.25 for regular yesterday. I got $5 worth and called it a day. LOL

DC_Zeta1920 07-06-2005 05:54 PM

Oh how I remember the days when one could put 93 in just because and 10 bucks will fill the tank to "F"

Not anymore. Its 2.39 where I live and 10 does nothing but put my tank just a little under HALF

Once gas gets to 3 bucks here...I'm going to hit the closest Toys R Us and purchase a Huffy :(
