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.

It was $3.97 a gallon when I last drove by the gas station a few days ago! It's painful to fill up!

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.

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.
