I am really irritated by it although I realize there's virtually nothing I can do. Unless I go up to Anwar and start drilling myself LOL So I wanna know how much is gas where you are and how much it is to fill up your vehicle- if you fill it up anymore. LOL
I drive a malibu and you would think that a grocery go getter is ok, but oh no. The V6 is a gas guzzling hog. Costs $45 to fill it up and that lasts a week with hubby driving it only 15 minutes to work. My car is an old school two door cavalier (96 heeehee). I can fill it up for about 40 and drive almost a month. Yeah, I never go anywhere LOL.

Gas is 3.95 here. :cursing:

Gas is the same here, $3.95. It costs about $60 to fill up the van. Which once upon a time could be filled up with $30. Just crazy!

Here, gas is 1.40 a L, so a bit more than what Kristin said. It sucks!

ETA that it took over $100 to fill my van (a 2008 Uplander Extended version) yesterday.

not sure how it converts, but we pay 1.29/L here (not gallons). And that is the cheapest, one station is at 1.31/L (and we only have three stations here, so they are NUTS to be above the other two that normally priced the same).

It costs me about $60 to fill my van, but it will last about a month. It costs my hubby about $120 to fill his truck, and it lasts about 2-3 weeks (it's the vehicle we drive the most - my van is for me to get to and from work and to go to Brownies, that's it).

It's about 3.93-3.99 a gal for regular right now in my area of Oregon. I was hoping to wait to get gas after the holiday weekend, cuz I think prices will drop a few pennies, but my empty light is on and I have to get some today. :(

Were at about 5.05 a gallon here :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

It costs about 140$ to fill our truck

On post here at the Shoppette I paid 3.88 on Wednesday. I haven't driven by since though so it could be more by now. I only had to get little over half a tank and it set me back $40.

Off post on the economy it's about 1.49 euro/liter. So with the exchange and conversion from liters to gallons that make it roughly $8.90/gallon!!

Thank the lord I haven't used up all my fuel this month...there is no way I could afford to buy gas on the economy right now.

05-24-2008, 05:06 PM
You would think I would've noticed when I filled up yesterday.....but I can't remember! LOL!

But I'm pretty sure it was like $3.80-3.85 or so. Cost me $40 to fill up my car. I DRIVE A NEON!

Frustrating, but since DF and I commute to work together, we spend half as much on gas.

In my area, it was about $3.80 yesterday.

I topped off my SUV last night, figuring prices would go up with the holiday weekend. I paid $3.73 a gallon on the post we live on and today low and behold it is $3.83 a gallon.

WE find the lowest we can and use the safeway fuel discounts and stuff so we're still paying under $4 but I've seen it as much as $5 already

05-24-2008, 05:29 PM
I drove across NC on Friday and the lowest we saw was $3.85... I've been seeing $3.89 or $3.95 in the Charlotte area. We normally tank up at Costco which is .10-.15 cents cheaper...

I do think the prices will go down a bit, but I doubt we'll ever see below $3 again, honestly. I think all this "hullabuloo" about gas was in part to get us "used" to higher prices and also so we would be "thankful" when it goes back to the low-to-mid $3 range...

I remember about 4-5 years ago seeing $.99/gallon gas in Michigan, at two competing stations. :blink:

I really hope things settle down and let everyone catch their breath and figure out how to cope with these prices!

I don't understand the whole litre/gallon measurement thing. I just drive in, fill up and pay. I have no idea how much petrol is over here in the UK but I drive a new ford fiesta (do you have them in America?) smallish car. It costs me £48 to fill it up which is roughly about $96 ish .

We're running at 1.56 euro per liter which is round about $9.01 per gallon...thankfully we don't have to pay for fuel...DH's job pays for it all including personal usage.

05-24-2008, 06:16 PM
It's of course higher here right now b/c it's a holiday weekend, but Thurs when I got gas it was 3.79/gallon and I have a tahoe..I've never let it go empty to fill up but half a tank costs me about 45-50 dollars. Gas is up to 3.89-99/gallon for the weekend

MelissaL88
05-24-2008, 06:29 PM
It's $3.73 - $3.86 in our part of Houston. I drive a Toyota Sienna and it costs about $60+ to fill it up every 10 days. I don't even want to talk about how much it costs to fill up dh's Tundra (almost $80). Thank goodness he's off for the summer, so we won't have to fill it up very often.

Unleaded petrol is $2.00 a litre here in New Zealand, give or take a few cents depending on which part of the country you are in.

It's $3.99 per gallon here in Ohio, but I know where my Mom's at (in Connecticut) it's well over $4/gallon. I know it's going to cost me about $60+ to fillup, but that lasts me about 3 weeks since I have a short commute (since I'll be refilling tomorrow it will actually last me 4 weeks since I'll be flying out of town for 5 days in June). I think my Mom's vehicle is costing her about $75-$80 to fill up and her car (Honda CRV) is not fuel-economical. I think that's the only good thing about hubby being unemployed - he never drives anywhere so he's not using any gas, lol...

It's $4 at costco today, so I'm assuming at the regular gas stations it's around 4.15. Sick!

It's 3.79-3.89 here in NH. I drive an H3 (and it's only a 5 cyl) that gets about 17 miles to the gallon and costs around $55 to fill. DH drives a Pickup truck and it cost $77 the last time he filled it this week!

I filled up last weekend at $3.85 per gallon here in Central FL. I drive a 4Runner and it cost me around $60 to fill up. Luckily that will last me awhile since I don't have to dry all that much. But DH drives alot for work and it costs him over $100 to fill up his van. And he normally has to fill up a couple of times a week. :thumbdown:

Next car we get will definitely be a hybrid!

Colorado gas tends to be on the cheaper side of the spectrum nationwide and I paid 3.66 at a CHEAP station before the prices went up for the holiday weekend. I haven't looked yet, but I'm assuming its close to $3.90/gallon today. Ugh.

Gas is currently $1.30/L for me in Ontario, Canada. My husband just bought a electric bicycle for to and from work, we figure it will pay for itself in less than 2 months. It will cost 6cents to charge it every 2-3 days!

Here in Japan it costs $6-7 per galon. We have a Subaru Forester and it costs between 70 and 80 to fill it up - granted we don't drive a ton . . .

i know gas price in US is much much higher than here, but we are having major steep increase from $0.20 per liter to $0.60, which is totally very shocking for us. but i guess there's nothing we could do much since this is a global change i suppose.

05-26-2008, 08:10 AM
Gas is $3.85 here and it cost me nearly $90 to fill my Toyota Sequoia. Thank goodness I don't rive much, so that will last for at least 2-3 weeks.

I remember when I turned 16, gas was $.99 here and I totally took that for granted because I didn't know any better.... those were the days! LOL!

joelsgirl
05-26-2008, 08:15 AM
We pay $2/gallon; gotta love government subsidized fuel. It's about to go up, though I don't see it getting to be as high as the US.

I remember getting mine at 63C a L for Premium about 9 years ago, and that's what I always put in my car. Now I couldn't afford premium unless I gave up my first born LOL...I think it's around 1.50 a L now.

05-26-2008, 08:25 AM
It was $3.97 a gallon when I last drove by the gas station a few days ago! It's painful to fill up!

Kat Stokes
05-26-2008, 10:42 AM
I'm paying about $3.95 for gas and our diesel just went up to $5.14 a gal.!!!! I am totally freaking out here! It costs me $500 a month in fuel to drive to work and back now!

My car takes middle grade and it's $4.05 a gallon here. I'm trying to do as little driving as possible on the weekends and combining trips as best I can, stopping on the way home from work to do errands and things like that. I recently traded in my 6 cylinder for a 4 cylinder so that is helping. Gas prices are hitting us hard at the grocery too. Everything has gone up, up, up. Some fast food chains are making the portions smaller to offset the increase so they don't have to increase the price of the item. DH got a 1/4 pounder at McD's the other day and it was so much smaller. I'd be surprised if there is really 1/4 lb of beef on there anymore.

Before Memorial Weekend, the 'cheap' gas stations around here was trying really hard to hover just below $4...$3.99. But afterwards...forget about it. A couple of days ago...I notice that it's $4.24 and higher. DH went to Costco a couple of days ago and their is $4.05 though.

Our Odyssey probably ends up being around $60-$70 for filling the tank up.

Luckily we fill it up about once every 2 weeks.

Our Acura TL takes Premium though! Ouch! That probably gets filled up at least once a month...sometimes twice a month.

Penny Springmann
05-31-2008, 11:05 AM
We are at 3.83....but I have to get premium, yuck, and DH drives a diesel so he pays about 4.57.

05-31-2008, 11:47 AM
Last time I looked it was $3.85, but that was like two days ago, it has probably gone up by now. I have a twenty some gallon tank and when I fill it up, it is well over $70.00. Luckily, I only work about five miles from where I live, so I don't have to fill up very often.

I think we should all start riding horses again, LOL!!!

Our gas went up to 140.3 this weekend, so that's about $5.30 a gallon.

blah, I hate thinking about gas prices...ours are between $3.85 to $3.99 a gallon. It's crazy how some are lower than others....I try to not use Chevrons either. I go for the Conoco or Phillips 66.
