Regular gas in Sacramento, California is hittin at $1.99. I was lookin around and some places in Cali are up to $2.54. That's just crazy, in a minute I'm about to get a bus pass. Bush really does hate Cali, but hell I hate him 2

That's not true in my experience. My car only takes premium. Tried putting regular in it once and it knocked and knocked. From that day forward, it got the good stuff. (Oh, my wallet... :( )

My husband's car, on the other hand, only takes regular. He tried putting premium in it once and its performance actually suffered. The mechanic told us it is optimized for 87 octane. So that's what it gets.

I just paid $1.939/gal for my last fill-up of premium. Nothing compared to folks in some other areas, but still... ouch.

$1.83 at the 7-11. $1.95 at the Shell up the street from my house. And this is for regular. :mad: Summer is going kill us in the pocket. :(

Gas prices have reached an all time high
 
Here in the midwest, Ohio, gas prices have reached an all time high of $2.05. Yesterday, it was a $1.97. What are the gas prices in your area and how are you dealing with this increa$e?

btb87 05-14-2004 08:37 AM

It's too durn much! :mad:

Ranges from $1.87 to $1.93 for regular. I put $20 in my husband's '99 Altima the other day and it only gave me about three-quarters of a tank.

Honeykiss1974 05-14-2004 09:34 AM

We're at $2.00 a gallon now. :( Earlier this week, it took $20 to fill my car up @ $1.95/gal.

Thank goodness I have a Toyota Corolla. I can't even imagine what I would be spending if I had bought The Grand Cherokee. :(

Gina1201 05-14-2004 10:48 AM

Here in NY we're at $2.05/gallon.

evaclear04 05-14-2004 10:55 AM

I'm just going to start walking the 10 miles to work. Premium is like $2.11 a gallon

AKA2D '91 05-14-2004 11:13 AM

Even those stations owned by the foreigners has the audacity to be high @ $1.87/ gallon. :o I don't think I have EVER seen the prices this high before.

LAWD!

What if the gas prices are decreased right before the election? Wouldn't that be some *&^(?

Jill1228 05-14-2004 12:03 PM

In the Vancouver area... 97.5 cents per liter (Canadian dollars), so a gallon of gas will be 3.71 Canadian a gallon

In US funds... $2.67 per gallon! :eek:

No wonder the Canadians have been making a run for the border and hitting Whatcom County, WA (where I work) in droves. Gas there ranges from $2.19-2.24 per gallon (US dollars)

This is the regular unleaded stuff!

Steeltrap 05-14-2004 01:01 PM

In Lower Kollyfornia
 
Filled up last night at $2.28 a gallon. This stuff needs to stop. I'm a free-market person, but this is simplistic BS.
