For the last four days gas has been going up a nickel a day! GRRRR! I had to drive to Eugene tonight to get Racer's feed, I think it would have been cheaper to have shipped the 11 pound bag!

Movin' on up!
Tucson hit the $2.00 mark, on Thursday. AAA says that the average price for regular is $1.95 but, the lowest that I've seen is $1.97.

If I just drive to work, I use 1 gallon per day. Most of the time, I can go two weeks, on a tank of gas and it costs me about $20.00 to fill up.

We're told that its is because the California refineries don't have the production capacity to meet the demand and the environmental regulations, as well as the NIMBYS won't let them expand or build new ones. Tucson gets most of its gas, from California (as well as other digestive upsets and pains.)

I remember when it was less than $1.00 for gas.

$2.00 or so for premium?????

Ugh. Don't come here. Least expensive gas price for premium in the county is about $2.55 per gallon and about $2.25 or so for regular unleaded.

And my car takes premium........

I was growling about the same thing today when I saw how much the price had gone up just since last night! You guys are making me feel good about $1.89 a gallon, though. At least it's not over $2.00 (yet). I have to fill up on the way home. Sure wish I had filled up a couple of days ago when it was "only" $1.78.

We're feeling the effects over here too, it's going to go up to well over $1 a litre in the next few days. That's the equivalent of $3.78 a gallon! Grrrr.

So far out in left field I got lost
Wow and I was complaining about gas here at $1.81 a gallon for regular. I do know that premium is $2.01 a gallon but I don't use that one. I can remember when gas at one point and time was $.50 a gallon, yeah I know I'm getting old


Ken was talking about riding around the other night just for the heck of it. I told him he must be nuts since the gas prices are so high. We stayed home and snuggled on the couch which to me was a lot more fun

Gas prices are getting higher and higher here in Maine too. I think we're seeing about $1.90+ for regular.

What stinks about the gas and oil prices going up, is our town was going to pave our road and a few others this year, but it's been cancelled until the prices of gas and oil go down. Our road is desperate to be paved too. It's been over 10 years and with heavy farm machenery traveling over it every day, it dosn't make for a smooth ride.

it's almost a $1 a LITRE here. Usually it costs me $55 to fill the tank, now it should cost me nearly $70.

There is a rumor that gas is supposed to get up to $1.50 A LITRE by the middle of the summer. YIKES!

Here in Southern California we've been paying over $2.00/gallon for the cheap stuff for almost a year now. It went up to about $2.20 earlier and then back down. I don't know how much it is now. DH fills the car for me so I won't have a stroke.

Same scenario here last night, except I was the one wanting to go riding around. My b/f said are you crazy with these gas prices! It's cheaper to go to the movies
