gasoline prices

$3.79/gallon for diesel. It cost almost $80 to fill up the Jeep the other day.

This funny.... it really is all relative, I agree. I remember when $10 used to fill up my tank,back when it was .99 cents per gallon. I also remember when I was outraged to pay $1.80 a few years ago when a gas pipeline burst in the phoenix area and there was a shortage. We all stood in line forever to pay $1.80 and were SOOO upset. Now I roll up and pay over $3 no without even thinking about it.

Gas is up to $3.49 today. I travel from Queens County to Suffolk County everyday. I have a 60 mile round-trip to work and that does not include the extra distance I travel to run errands in the evenings and on weekends. Plus, on Wednesdays, it's an 84 mile round-trip when I go out to the barn (but I'll follow my riding instructor anywhere)! It costs a little over $40.00 to fill up my tank. And unfortunately, I have to fill up about 1.5 times per week.

ETA: There is no convenient mass transit from my house to the office. I live by the LIRR, but there are no bus or train stops remotely close to my job.

Gas prices are now almost $3.70 on average. San Francisco is the highest at over $4.00.

It's not just gas prices, but food prices. A gallon of milk in my area is almost $5.00 at the most. Sad, real sad.
