Hmmm, let's do the math Neko - ok, I'll do it since I know you're probably tired of math by now! 1 gallon = 3.7854118 liter 1 gallon @ $0.99.9/liter = $3.7816263882 Canadian $1.00 Canadian = $ 0.726269 US 1 Gallon = $2.74647 US USD $2.75/gallon

I've been lucky in my area. Sheetz just had a grand opening in the next town, and they have been keeping the competitors prices down. Outside of my immediate area, it's $2.05. Here it's $1.85.... I'm not complaining!

$1.78 here--this is the most I remember EVER paying for gas. We're planning a couple of road trips this summer and I dread to think what it will be once we leave our area.

So you know, some Speedways are paying their signmakers to permanently change the 1 to a 2 on their pricing signs. We may need to buy the gas, but we don't need to buy from their convenience stores . . .

gas is 1.93 a gallon here for the cheapest kind..disel is 1.68 kinda seems unfair.. kinda gets expensive when you live in a small town and there is nothing to do but ride around.

$2.37 and supposed to go higher because of a pipeline shutdown. Read in the newspaper this morning airplanes coming through Seatac are being encouraged to have enough fuel on board not to have to refuel in Seattle.

here in central california, diesel is as much or more than unleaded. i would drink it if it was only 1.68 here! the problem with diesel going so high is that all the trucking companies will turn over their increased costs to stores where you and i will pay for the stores to cover their increased costs.....so you're paying for diesel whether you use it or not. let's pray diesel goes down, too!

They were saying on the news last night that they're encouraging airplanes flying into Seattle to have enough fuel to get them out of there and on to their next stop because the costs are so high. We're at $2.09 still at some gas stations but others are up to $2.13 so it shouldn't be long before they all get there. I go to the Woodman's grocery store gas station sometimes...they give you 3 cents off per gallon with proof of store purchase. My tank is so small that the 3 cents is pretty insignificant though (it saves me <30 cents on a fill up that's usually about 8-9 gallons every 6 days). I never go to the Speedway here just because there are other stores I like better. I like Kwik Trip because their mid-grade fuel is always the same price as the cheap gas and because they have the best gas station coffee and snacks. I go to Mobil sometimes but they're always the first to raise their prices and sometimes they're more than every other place for apparently no reason. I know they like to claim that they have better gas or whatever, but if you ever notice it's the same truck with the same gas driving from station to station- the truck even has the name of 4 or 5 different places on it (shell, etc).

We're at 1.93 for the cheapest. I live in a very small town. Everything is expensive here because of the largest state park for trout fishing. The prices always go up when trout season begins.

our diesel (if we go 13 miles out of town to rotten robbie's) is $1.99.9 and our unleaded 87% is $2.19.9...... in town, it's about 2.15 for diesel and 2.35 for unleaded. i'm going to texas! make way, cathie!!!! we haven't seen 1.89 for over a year...maybe longer.

Up here in the sierras, $2.25 to $2.35, for 87, not that bad all in all. Thank goodness my Blazer that I LOVED SOOOOO MUCH decided to go to 4X4 heaven this spring. I was forced to buy another car, ended up with a little Saturn that I really wasn't at all thrilled about. Now, here I am, happilly putting along at 40MPG. I had no idea. I expected about 30MPG. I kept setting my "tripometer" each time I filled the tank with a whole 8-9 gal, and after about 3 times, I realized it was at 340 or 350 before I hit empty. WOWZERS, this is the cheapest car I have ever driven!!!

We dropped from $2.13 to $2.09. I just can't get that excited. My car is pretty good on gas- I fill up around 8 or 9 gallons once a week. So I figure a drop of 4 cents is saving me...under $2 a month. I was never upset about the gas prices being up- and I'm not now. But the article I posted in "Breaking Headlines" kind of got me mad about the gas. Not because we're paying a lot, but because we're paying millions so that Iraqis can get their gas for I think it was 10 cents a gallon.

Sunrvrose, that's why i love our vw diesels--both the bug and the jetta get 50 mpg highway and 40 in town. when my light comes on, i have over 2 gallons of diesel left and i know i have to find a station within the next hundred miles or so LOL but when we first got a diesel, diesel was only 99 cents a gallon--probably 25 or 30 cents less than unleaded. now diesel is often as high as the 87 unleaded, sometimes even higher. good thing we get twice the MPG!!

$2.20-something in the North Bay. Found one place for $2.18 the other day, but the wait was about 1/2 hour. Must have been 15 cars there with only 4 pumps.

Fifteen cars lined up to save 2 cents per gallon? They probably wasted that much idling their cars while they waited.

Woo Hoo! We're "down" to $2.00 here! Last week a radio station got a gas station to sell gas for $.98 to 98 customers. (I bet a few dummies idled while they waited!) They are 98 on the FM dial. Too bad I don't listen to that station...hey, I listen to 93.7, they should do that too!

I drove from Fayetteville NC to Wilmington NC yesterday. Both places are about $1.92. Halfway there, I was surprised to go through Clinton and see prices at $1.83 and $1.81. I guess I know where I will fill up on the way home!
