Gas Prices

How high is it where you guys live? The prices here are unreal -- I need to start taking public transportation because I can afford to drive.

Check out this article...gas prices have gone up $.25 a gallon in the matter of two weeks.

I sure hope my company ups the reimbursment for milage. All of those bitch runs add up fast.

I think I'm going to start walking to work, now that it's sunnier.

Well, I do have to live in OKC, but it's not all bad -- $2.79 is highest and the lowest is $2.65.

You can still buy 87 octane? The lowest we can get is 89, the highest 93.

Also, ktsnake, I got gas a hellofalot cheaper than that. Where are you going?

I actually don't pay that much attention. Work is about 1.5 miles from home, and school is only another mile further.

I fill up maybe twice per month.

That was based on oklahomacitygasprices.com. It's possible that gas has gone up substantially since you last filled up?

I filled up yesterday evening, about 7.45 to 8ish, judging by the time I got home.

Maybe it was a fluke, but I got gas in SWOKC from Conoco for under 2.50.

Yes, 87 is still available. Not everyone around here drives big Trucks like you guys.


Go swim in an Ocean or something!

I drive a 1971 Volkwagen Beetle, that my grandfather bought brand new. It needs 91 octane, which seems to be about the lowest you can buy in most of Europe.

It's about $2.90-$2.95 in the suburbs where I live for regular.

It's well over $3/gallon in the city of Chicago. I am so glad I take public transit to work!

Regular here=87 octane.

WTF? No, I was just surprised that out in Cali that you can get lower octanes, since the higher octanes have fewer emissions and there is so much smog out in LA.
