So how much are you paying per gallon of gasoline? I fille dup today and gas was $1.42 a gallon, and it cost me $32.00 to fill the truck up. How muchg do you pay per gallon, and to fill up.

well i remember about two weeks ago paying 1.19 for gas on a good day, but now my good days are 1.51

Actually thats how much i paid today, i paid 8.30 to fill up half the tank- so i guess it would be around 16 dollars to fill up the tank. I know its not even close to your thirty something lifesaver, but i have a small car! This is insane!

1.87 for Premium in Southern Cal.

Price of gas is pretty bad, last time I checked it was around 79 cents a litre (canadian).
Mulitply .79 times 4.5 (# of litres in a gallon)
divide that number by 1.5 to figure out the approximate cost in american dollars and the total equals $2.37 a gallon...
I'm probably a little off, but maybe this is why very few students have their own cars (at least on my campus).

Here in Nebraska we've had terribly high gas prices. This Summer is when it started and every now and then for like a week it will reach a low of maybe $1.29 but lately it's been going up.
Last summer the ultimate high I remember paying was $1.89. Right now it's $1.65 by my house but in other locations across town I've seen $1.55. It's rediculous, but what can you do? You gotta drive!
I remember Summer of 99 the prices here were 98 cents. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?!?!
What is going on?!?!

I'm paying $1.92 a gallon.

I have to get the 93 octane. I get ticked off everytime I fill up my car.

I heard on the news last night that the gas prices may get up to $3/gal

! When is the madness going to stop!?

I live in Southern Wisconsin, which sort of gets dragged in with Chicago (one of the places with the highest gas prices).

Right now prices aren't too bad... last I looked, I think we're around $1.75 (?) but last summer we were all the way up to $2.10 or so... and that was for the lowest grade!

The job I'm taking for the summer will involve me driving from location to location all over the state... I don't know what I'll do if we hit $3.00/gal!

$1.42 for premium...you have GOT to be kidding me.

On a regular day...
In Hawaii, the average price for unleaded is $1.89. I use Chevron Plus, and it costs me $1.99 a gallon. Premium's $2.04. You should see my Chevron card bill! Don't even get me started about when those gas prices rose last summer!

The Big Island's the worst though. They've had prices over $2 for a long time now. I hear they're most expensive is around the $2.30s.

So, next time you complain about gas prices, think of us in Hawaii.

I think this year is going to be terrible when it comes to gasoline prices...

I currently pay $1.72 a gallon for Plus...and I'm in Southern Florida. This is madness. I remember when unleaded was 99 cents and I could fill up my car tank with ten dollars. Now it takes me... 17-18 dollars to fill up my compact car!!!

I thought about going to one of the cheaper no name stations, but I keep hearing rumors that they water down the gasoline...so I try to stick with the big names.

I live in Atlanta, GA, and am currently paying around $1.47 for regular.

Does anyone else remember paying around 75-80 cents a gallon back in the good old days? That's what it used to be like just a few years ago!!!

Man I gotta get the password for my other name. :Þ

Life, I think you and I drive the same kind of truck. I have a 89 Z71 chevy, with the extended range fuel tank, here gas is 1.59, so from empty the other day it cost me $42. Crazy. And I have to fill up about twice a week driving to my internship. I'm tellin ya, its time to buy a diesel. Their prices are staying at about 1.39.

Now for something really stupid. I bought a new bass boat friday, and low and behold that thing has a 40 gallon gas tank on it. I made the dealer fill it up, cost about $70. I'm guessing that all day fishing trips right now as it stands are gonna be costing me about $100 everytime I hook the boat to the truck. Please help, send money.
