I'm sure our gas prices in South Carolina are lower than some. I filled up at $2.79 this morning, but I hear that it is just going to keep rising during the summer! I have to cut down on my driving on weekends because it sure is cutting into my wallet. I filled up a 12 gallon tank for $35. That's rediculous! What are your gas prices right now? Are these high prices just in the US?

It hit $2.97 here yesterday.
That means if I don't find a job.....I have to quit volunteering at the local HS.

I have to put 93 octane in my Harley, and it has been over $3 per gallon for more than 3 weeks now.

It's over $3.00 here but I don't mind. Compared to gas prices in other part of the perhaps less privelaged world gass is much more expensive. I figure... it I really need it I'll pay for it... otherwise I'm busting out the bike!

It's $3.20 here in MIchigan too...

I miss $2.79!!!!


Anyway, I guess I'm getting numb to it all. I think that we'll finally pay $4.00 per gallon by August this year.

I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much at $2.79, eh?

Driving home from work last night, it was $1.08/litre. Boo.

Makes me glad I don't drive, but then I remember that I have to help J pay for gas, and then the gladness goes away.

Ok, so how many litres in a gallon? Is it 4? I'm really not sure.

It is about $1.09 here. I wish I still lived in Belleville, they always had the cheapest prices. Looking at www.ontariogasprices.com Belleville is 98.9, but I am glad I am not in Thunder bay 1.19 is crazy.

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres

So if it's over $1/litre then it's definatly over $3/gallon

I don't drive either, but I help pay for my boyfriends gas. His battery in his car decided to explode so now he has to drive a truck instead which costs like $80 to fill instead of $40 in his car and the truck goes through it about 3 times faster.

$3.37 at the Texaco outside my window. Our news is always telling us how we have one of the highest in the country.

I am lucky that I live, work and attend school all in an apprx 3 mile radius. If I had a car now, there is no way I could afford gas. I really miss being able to take off for the coast though

I so wish I was that close to everything. I'd keep my car but it'd be really nice to not have to depend on it.

I just filled up yesterday and the cheap stuff was 2.85 and it cost me 28.00 to fill the car up. It cost hubby about 37.00 to fill the Blazer.
