1.96 for the cheapest - even then I only got $20 worth. The prices have put the kaibosh on any non-essential travel for me and mom. (We're both on fixed incomes.)

Imagine if I filled both tanks on the van! (about 30 gal)

Movin' on up!
Tucson is running $1.95-$2.05. I have to fill up tomorrow and the closest station is $2.05. Oh, well, I'll have to bite the bullet. Thank goodness, my car runs two weeks, on a tank of gas.

Our gas went up $0.20 per gallon just this week.
It's absurd...I KNOW they haven't gotten the price hikes from the rise in oil prices yet.
Last time I filled up it was $1.79. To fill up today it's $2.07. Thank goodness I just work 2 miles from home!

Here in Orlando the week started at 1.89/gallon of regular, but has now gone up to 2.06 I believe. A friend of mine said gas prices would be going up .25 over the next month I believe, does anyone know if this is true? I remember just 4 years ago when I was a freshman at UCF and for a short period of time gas was .94/gallon!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good grief how I long for THOSE days!!!

They are talking about prices hiking up to almost 2.50 here towards the beginning of summer. Back in the day (6 years ago) when I started driving, gas was 97 cents. Not even 6 years and its doubled plus some!!! That's ridiculous!

I was able to fill up at 1.34 a gallon, and my grandfather did even better. His was only 49 cents a gallon.

Before anyone starts yelling, we go to Giant Eagle. They're offering this deal now that for every 50 dollars you spend on groceries, you get 10 cents off a gallon at their GetGo gas station. (People are starting to realize their prices are rediculous, so their having to drum up businiess with gimmicks. It's working.)

So anyhoo, you can get up to 30 gallons at the reduced cost, so my grandfather fills up his tank with 15 gallons, and procedes to fill up 5 more 3 gallon jugs, because they weren't going to "cheat him out of all that gas".

It's been a while since I filled up, but I think we are somewhere around 0.79p per litre! (but that's at Asda) the closer you get to town and the south of the area, the more you pay!!

Wow! I was filling up when it dropped to 73.8 or 74.8, and the most I have paid recently was around .78 But I noticed that it went up to .84 - .86 the beginning of the week, and thought that was high!

I just filled my tank yesterday and it cost me $27.00 ($2.23 per gallon for the cheap grade). I have a small car that is really good on gas but if gas gets any more expensive I don't know what I'm going to do.

wodesorel, I've done that, too. I live in Penn Hills and there is a big Getgo about a mile and a half from me!
