So how high are gas prices where you live?

[Solitude1]

I'm down in a town called Summerville in SC. Gas used to be about $1.30 a gallon. Over the past few months, its risen to $1.68.

I know this might not be much to you so, that's why I'm asking everyone. I wanted to get a good view of the prices in different areas.

[Lord Dalek]

$1.80 and thats at Safeway.

[wrenchien]

$1.60 - $1.70 ...

if this keeps up you'd better all ask for raises. just so you can get to work without failing to continue to be your sunny selves your boss enjoys more.. than.. well...

[Bizarro_Stormy]

In the $1.80's.

[G. Wen]

I live in CA, so it's between $1.60-$2.10.

[Will Sturnick]

Here in Upstate NY are prices usually range from $1.69-$1.89.

[Elven Moon]

Yesterday it was about $1.89. Not sure about today :sad:

[Calhoun07]

1.09 here.
















just seeing if you were paying attention.


1.70.

[Caffeine King]

Well I'm not old enough to drive but my mother does and she's always complaining how it goes up at the local gas station.

They used to be the ones with the low prices but they hiked it up to $1.69-$1.79 or $1.89... :shrug:

Up in Boston (or it's suburbs, like Marshfield) my uncle said (I think) $1.89- $ 2.00 somthing dollars...I think. I know it's higher there.

I heard in Nevada it's up to $3.00 something! :eek:

[Tommy Lawson]

I heard in Nevada it's up to $3.00 something!Actually, since I live in Las Vegas, I can tell you it's averaging $2.13 in the city. However, once you get on the highway, of course, it gets really expensive. At Primm (state line between California and Nevada on I-15), last week it was $2.43 a gallon at the Chevron for unleaded! (I didn't fill up there of course, just saw the price) I don't even want to imagine what even more remote "last chance" gas stations are charging in the desert.

[Shakes]

I had to pay for gas today and it was $1.69

[Ajax]

Over here in El Paso the gas ranges from 1.69-1.89.

[Tapout]

$1.97 for the cheap stuff as of yesterday. It shouldn't be that high, but since the jizzbuckets in Phoenix own the gas stations here they jack up our prices too.

[Tienshin]

Generally, I see the prices in the 1.75 - 1.95 range. The extremes tend to vary by a few cents, depending on the gas station and where it's located.

[RZetlin]

What happened to all the oil from Iraq?

[The Detective]

Around $1.75.

[Delthayre]

What happened to all the oil from Iraq?
Don't you have any sense of when not to taint a topic with something? Honestly, show some discipline.

And about $1.78 up here.

[Speedy Boris]

$1.80-ish in the St. Paul area. I'm waiting as long as possible to fill it all the way... :sweat:

[Nick Biped]

It's been around 75-80 cents Cdn around here lately.

...this is per litre, mind you. :p That'd be a bit less than $3 per gallon, then. But, converted to American dollars, that's about $2.25 per gallon. So, a bit more than what the rest of you have said. Maybe it's due to taxes and stuff.

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

I'd say it's more between 0.75-0.85 cents per litre across our great nation. Where I live, it's currently at 0.834 cents per litre.

[Ed Liu]

Howdy,

Out here in central Jersey, we're looking at about $1.69 - $1.75 a gallon for the 87 octane. I think the expensive stuff is about $1.89 or more.

I tell ya, our decision to buy a Honda Civic Hybrid is looking better and better :). Admittedly, the other choices were a MINI Cooper or a Pontiac Vibe, neither of which are slouches in the MPG department, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be letting 3 weeks go by between fill-ups.

-- Ed/Ace

[The Falcon]

i had to buy gas on three separate occasions this weekend (road tripped to wisconsin)

first stop...$1.79 per gallon
second stop...$1.82 per gallon
third stop...$1.74 per gallon

so, technically that means prices are declining :D

Hero

[Alex Toon]

I'd say it's more between 0.75-0.85 cents per litre across our great nation. Where I live, it's currently at 0.834 cents per litre. I envy you Canadians! ENNNNVYYYY! :D

Where I live is usually $1.69-$1.72

[Singin' Stray Cat]

Actually, that price is per liter...if you converted it to gallons, I think the price would be, well, not so envious. ;) Sorry, I'm too lazy to do the math.

In west TN, prices have been hovering at about $1.76 or so for regular unleaded. It used to be really cheap here compared with the rest of the nation: now it's about the same. :sad: I now have fond memories of the Love's gas station in West Memphis, Arkansas I saw some years back that had gas for 98 cents a gallon. Swear I'm not making that up.

[Kury Wagner]

$1.89 for unleaded. And over two bucks for premium! It's ridiculous! :sad:

[Alex Toon]

I now have fond memories of the Love's gas station in West Memphis, Arkansas I saw some years back that had gas for 98 cents a gallon. Swear I'm not making that up. NOOOOOWWWWW I am envyous! I'm moving to Arkansas! :D

[Tapout]

I now have fond memories of the Love's gas station in West Memphis, Arkansas I saw some years back that had gas for 98 cents a gallon. Swear I'm not making that up.
Sometime within the last three years we had one station with gas for 99 cents a gallon. Now we're well above the national average. I'm sure it wasn't that uncommon.

[FredNash]

for regular (not fancy type) it varies between $1.58 and $1.65 depending on how close to the highway you are...

I now have fond memories of the Love's gas station in West Memphis, Arkansas I saw some years back that had gas for 98 cents a gallon. Swear I'm not making that up.
I remember buying gas for less than 80 cents a gallon once back in the mid-late 90's. And even then my history teacher would regale us with stories of when he was our age spending 15 cents to fill up his truck and complaining about how expensive it was... also, how he could buy steak dinners for a nickle, so I'm not sure how accurate that was...

[Burgundy Ranger]

Here in the Md. suburbs of DC, I'm seeing most prices in the 1.79-1.85 range for regular unleaded.

Found a place Saturday for 1.75 -- and that's about the lowest I've seen in the past week.

[Sparticus]

Ugh, it's hovering around $2 bucks here in Central California for the cheap stuff - but it is CRAP so you're forced to get the middle pump which starts at around $2.15...

[Fone Bone]

What happened to all the oil from Iraq?
I was wondering that too. You can't really have an honest discussion about gas prices without bringing up Iraq and G.W. It's something to talk about if folks can keep things friendly.

[K@pri]

It's between 1.72-1.92 here in Chicago.

[unknown hero]

$1.81 in Northeast Pennsylvania

[Rayeli]

$2.00 to $2.50 here in Orange County CA X(

[Karl Olson]

2.02 - 2.52 in the suburb of seattle I'm in, depending on the gas station and gas grade.

[TimTwoFace]

Vancouver, BC, Canada - 89.9 cents/L. South of the line in Point Roberts, WA, it's 67.5 cents/L. So that's....errr $1.96/Gallon Stateside, or $2.61/Gallon in Canada.

Either way, damned expensive.

-Tim

[Vyse]

In Savannah, GA, the average price for regular gasoline is around $1.73-$1.76 per gallon. Only one gas station I could find has regular at around $1.68 per gallon.

Also, I think that the USA, despite all the gas price hikes, still has the cheapest gas on the planet. I saw it on the Daily Show, but I want to make sure that fact is true or not.

[guinaevere]

You're right, Vyse. Here in the states, we're doing pretty well for gas prices. Cheapest there is.

Last week, I heard a comparison of (US) prices since the 50's, but in 2003 dollars (so, taking inflation, salaries, cost of living, et cetera). The prices today, are pretty close to what they paid in 1950. Which is amazing, considering the quality of gas is much better today, with better refining and processing requirements.

The average price of gasoline during the 1950s was about $1.80 in today's money source: The New Republic Online (http://www.tnr.com/easterbrook.mhtml?pid=1418)

The highest was in 1981, after Jimmy Carter's administration (misery index, anyone?) at just over $2.80 a gallon (in todays money).

There's a great chart here (http://oregonstate.edu/Dept/pol_sci/fac/sahr/gasol.htm) showing the cost over the years. I'd post it in the thread, but it's a big honking image...

[Evil Dr. Reef]

Southeast Michigan gets you $1.79 average for regular unleaded. Luckily, there's a station by my house that usually sells regular for around 7 cents below the average. I filled my tank up there yesterday, and it still cost me damn near $20, though.:(

[AndreaBeaumont]

Southwestern Ohio, Cincinnati...1.69 for regular, 1.89 for the expensive crap...
They jack it up on the weekends though....so everyone is filling up on thrsday and lines are so long...> <

[guinaevere]

What happened to all the oil from Iraq? Considering that the US gets less than 20% of it's oil from the Middle East, I'm not sure what you were expecting...

[Carolina Red]

It's $1.70 in the Triangle. I'm not certain what the record in the state is, but I know that it's never been in the $2 range for what I know.

[Starflyer 58]

$2.17 down the street. :p Absolutely ridiculous.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

$1.67 I'm in southwest Pennsylvania.

What happened to all the oil from Iraq?When no one was looking I took it. It's all in my backyard.

[JackieChan]

The gas prices in my area are around $2.00 and up. Once when my mom put gas on her car, she paid $2.01 for Mid-grade in a BP/Amoco station in my area. A Mobil station in my area closed down a month ago and I don't know why, maybe it was for high gas prices or something like that.

[SSJPabs]

Let's see, $2.01 in north-west Minnesota.

I was in the Twin Cities last weekend and gas there ranged went from $1.98 on the Friday I arrived, to $2.08 the Sunday I left.

I remember when gas was 80 cents back when I was in highschool, the summer of 99... memories

[Delthayre]

Prices are getting over two dollars here in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania.

What I'm really curious about is whether people are driving less or just complaining more.

[Bubblegum Girl]

Since I live in Virigina, gas prices are way too high. So me and my mom usually go to Manassas to get the cheapest gas. Even the cheapest gas is too expensive. For regular(That's for my car) it's 1.95 per gallon and for premium(For my mom's car) it's 2.04! That's not fair! :mad:

[James]

Considering in the UK we pay around 75-85p per litre (around $1.30-40 I think) that means we're probably paying around $6 or more for a gallon... so stop whinning! :D While things in the UK are a little more expensive - they don't relatively compare to the ridiculous price of fuel!

[Russkafin]

It's $2.17 for the cheapest gas here in Rochester NY.

What really blew my mind is, there was a bit on the news the other day about the price of gas... and someone said it's still a good deal because a "gallon of milk is $4.50." Yeah, maybe if I filled my car with milk, that would be a problem... but I don't think you just put *one* gallon of gas in your car at a time... I doubt that would get me from the gas station to my house! I thought that was ridiculous that someone compared the two.

And, Delthayre, I am definitely driving less AND complaining more. :rolleyes:

[Discloner]

$2.10 and risin' here in the itty-bitty state of Rhode Island.

I'm shocked that a majority of you are still in the 1.50 range! What were your prices before the price rise?! :p

[shogunthethird]

Considering in the UK we pay around 75-85p per litre (around $1.30-40 I think) that means we're probably paying around $6 or more for a gallon... so stop whinning! :D While things in the UK are a little more expensive - they don't relatively compare to the ridiculous price of fuel!

[Stupid American comment] Yeah but over there your money is worth more than ours! [\ Stupid American comment]

and in Miami it's around 2.12 a gallon, thank god my car gives new meaning to the term "fuel-sipper" it made the trip from Miami to Orlando on roughly 3/4ths of a tank, given Ft. Pierce as a mid-point to top off the tank somewhat

[purplehairedwonder]

I don't have to worry about it yet, as I can't drive (will be able to by the end of the summer... but that's another story), but gas here (Montana) is high. By the freeway it's around $2.09 and in town it's around $1.99. Though I guess it's not as bad as some places.

[turbomog007]

In San Fernando valley it is about 2.45/gal as of this morning. :shrug:

[MrBananagrabber]

The cheapest I could find around me (New Jersey) was 2.07. And that was a few days ago.

[SSJPabs]

Also, how much of the price SJJ is gas taxes?

[Barb Gordon]

Man, I hate all you mid-one dollar range people!!!! :p
Gas right now in Orange County, southern california, is anywhere from 2.26-2.49'ish....for the regular cheapest gas(!) I hate it, I totally have to watch where I go now because gas prices are such a serious issue on my income right now :( For a brief shining moment it was down to like 2.04 and I was estatic, and then suddenly it started rising without any real warning like the news normally gives us. I can't believe how much it's spiked. Such a pain, especially with summer here. All you people complaining about rises in gas prices that still leave you under 2 bucks should really stop whining and be thankful you don't live in So Cal ;)

~Barb

[Tienshin]

Prices are now in the 2.10 - 2.15 range. :cool:

:)


:yawn:


:(


:mad:

[Ajax]

I guess I'll update the prices over here in El Paso, the cheapest is 1.95 and the highest is 2.10. But worst of all we live in a low income city, so the prices really hurt the middle class people over here.

[Firedragon]

Where I live The gas prices are up to 2.00 a gallon this is way high and where I live it is usually low.

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

It's an average of 94 cents per liter in my town. That translates to around $2.60 US per gallon (or $3.55 CAN per gallon!). Craziness.

[Kury Wagner]

$2.15 here! I can't believe it. I've never seen unleaded over $2.00 a gallon. It makes you wanna use diesel! :anime: Ha, ha, okay, I'm done being funny.

[cowboyardee]

Regular unleaded just went to $2.09 a gallon here, straight up from the $1.89 a gallon it was last week.

I'm all for getting a freakin' bike, or one of those three wheeled jobbers so the cages won't paste me to the road and say, "I didn't see him!"

[Jaguar]

I think we're up to $1.99 for Unleaded alone, and I've seen Premium for as high as $2.23.

[Nightflower]

It was a dollar a litre at one point, I don't know how much that is in gallons. ^_^'

[Boy Wonder]

I have been taking rides, and see gas prices rise from my near-15 pt. of view (hint: get a car that runs on regular):

Exxon: 2.35 for regular, and 2.54 for premium
Mobil: 2.15 for regular, and 2.35 for premium

It makes a difference on where to go, and how to modify your car (aka, don't get chips!).

[X-ville Solid]

Gas station near my house is $1.75 for unleaded. Going up pretty soon to $1.80.

[Russkafin]

I have a friend in California who informed me that she's paying $2.65 for the cheapest gas out where she is... and told me I'm "getting off easy" paying $2.17!

[Russkafin]

Thought I would bump this up, just for grins... seeing as, when last posted back in '04, I seemed to think $2.17 was high, and now I'm paying $3.09 a gallon.... How about everyone else?

[PC!]

I'm pretty sure there was a more recent topic than this, but anyway...

It's down to 2.89 here in Missouri. Could be worse, but could certainly be better.

[Hanshotfirst113]

3.15+

[J. B. Warner]

We were at $3.05 about a month ago, but then it went down and plateaued at $2.79. Now it's back up to $2.84.

[purplehairedwonder]

It's been holding steady at $2.99 here in Montana for a few weeks.

[KPTitan]

It's been holding steady at $2.99 here in Montana for a few weeks.

Really? Hmm....musta gone down since I've been up there last month, and when that happened it was $3.14 in Billings.

Over here in northeastern Wyoming it's at least $3.04. Got that way before school ended for friggin sakes! Hasn't gone up or down so far....better go down soon, I'm tired of it, and to make things worse the one vehicle that I have to drive when I get a job is a major gas hog when you drive against the wind.:sweat:

[JShaggy]

It's averaging at about $2.88 in Tennessee, but it's around $2.78 at several of the BPs I've passed by in Memphis.

[FireWarrior]

A steady $2.85 here in TX.

[Tenku]

It varies, but I've seen more $2.73 more than anything else.

[James Bester]

We've been steady between $2.90 and $3.00 for weeks now.

[purplehairedwonder]

Really? Hmm....musta gone down since I've been up there last month, and when that happened it was $3.14 in Billings.Yeah, it went down earlier this month and has stayed about the same since. I hadn't seen gas under $3 since I'd been home from school so it was a pleasant surprise... sorta.

I'm just glad gas prices are cheaper in Georgia where I go to school. I filled up at $1.98 earlier this year >< I miss that.

[The Wolverine]

Here it's gone back down to around $2.85 on average, which is a big relief.

[Harvey Two Face]

Over here it ranges from $1.40-$1.20, mind you this is in Australia.

[DBZNarutoWarrior]

In NH it's usually around $2.79.

[Zach Logan]

Regular: 3.19 - 3.29
Supreme: 3.59 - 3.69

[Tenku]

Oh!

I just found a gas station that has $2.69. However, I didn't know this until I had already filled up my car and drove past it on the way to class.

[PC!]

How sad the world is when we can cheer at $2.69 a gallon. :p

[The Falcon]

Regular: 3.19 - 3.29
Supreme: 3.59 - 3.69
i'm in that same price range. currently 3.20 for regular unleaded

[TyUnlimited]

Well
Regular:$2.71
Dieslal:$2.68

[Tenku]

Now, it's dropped to $2.63. I don't know if it's my area, or gas is actually dropping.

[Bic]

I'll have to double check, but I think it's $3.62 a gallon over here on Maui. I use middle one so it's $3.72 and filling up my VW Golf was just over $50 on Weds. :crying:

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Eh, still having to pay around 3.15 in the area of Long Island I'm from. I mean it has been higher before and I've only had to pay for gas once (then again I just got a car a few days ago) but seems like around the country prices are lower then they are near NY (well some places are higher, like Maui. Sorry for your really high gas prices Bic).

[Lazerboy5000]

It just droped to $2.99 at the BP about a mile from my house

[Juu-kuchi]

$3.14 - $3.23

[K-S-O]

Gas costs about $3.09 in my area. Though the price has been fluctuating a lot the past few months.

[Areku]

last time I checked it was $3.40 a gallon in New York.

[Mittenz]

Most pumps are around $2.89 for unleaded fuel where I am. One station's gone as low as $2.77.

[Lazerboy5000]

I saw one at $2.93 about 20 miles from where I live, but still $2.99 at the BP

[Lazerboy5000]

I had to go find this thread cause it was on the 2nd page.

$2.89 last time I checked.

[Kurokawa41]

i'm in that same price range. currently 3.20 for regular unleaded

Yeah, it's around that in my area as well.

[guinaevere]

Going back down... I think it was 2.68ish at Sams Club yesterday.
