What's the last price you paid for a gallon of gas?

[Epiphany]

$3.29, but technically my dad paid for it.

[MarcM]

$2.93 for regular.

$2.93? Is that 83 octane....

$3.65 for regular here.

[Shawna]

$3.25 yesterday. Then I drove down the street this morning and saw it for $3.19. No fair - I live in da hood, it should be cheaper here!

[MindCrime]

$3.4+ a gallon, cost over $50 to fill a truck at Circle K.

A private gas stop along side the tourists' freeway in Cali, east of Los Angeles is up to $5.39 a gallon. Highway Murder

Gas just went up here to $1.319 per liter. I think it works out to around $5/gallon in the States.

I wonder if this will change travel plans for people this summer.

I still see lots of SUV's and trucks around, so the high gas prices obviously aren't affecting purchasing patterns...

[MarcM]

$3.85 a gallon for 87.

CRAP! Okay, so the Aussie dollar is almost even with the US dollar...the current exchange rate is like 94 Au cents to the American dollar.

Soo, last I paid for petrol, regular unleaded [even though my new car says it needs premium, I pretend I don't see that sticker...] was $1.55 per litre. Have no idea how many gallons are in a litre or vice versa.

So are you Americans paying a hell of a lot more, or is that about even?

[Farin]

1 gallon = 3.785 litres

so you would pay about $5.88 per gallon

dunno if "regular unleaded" is the same as "87" though...

Because Martin said 3,785 litres...silly boy.

[katie_sane]

What is 87?

[Farin]

I have no idea

[katie_sane]

[Uncle Joe]

I believe 87 is the octane.

I recently paid $3.44/gallon in New Jersey.

[Jenny]

I need gas, and I think I'll be paying $3.43 or so this afternoon. I bet it'll be up to $4 by Memorial Day

[Crazy Don]

$3.899! :beady:

[MarcM]

yES, 87 IS THE OCTANE RATING FOR REGULAR UNLEADED HERE IN cALIFORNIA. mID IS 89 AND PREMIUM IS 91.

[Ombre Vivante]

4 freakin' dollars. This play-money might as well be pesos.

[Shawna]

This is making me feel a bit better about paying $3.45 for regular today. I feel like I'm getting away pretty cheaply...

[edna]

I have to buy a new battery. That´s worse than paying for gas... :beady:

[MarcM]

$3.89 FOR 87. (THATS REGULAR UNLEADED )

[MuzikTyme]

I pity those that went diesel.

Me? 3.99 for mid-grade (89 octane).

[edna]

I pity those that went diesel.

I´m diesel. :beady: Even the batteries for diesel are more expensive...

[MuzikTyme]

Tell me about it!

The high price of diesel affects everyone, mainly the consumer. All commercial grocery trucks run on diesel hence the higher price of food collating w/the ridiculous increase of gas; diesel or regular.

It's enough to drive an insane man sane.

I arrived in AThens last night ready to go out drinking and dancing. Apparently all my friends had run out of petrol because of a strike which started because of the high prices. On monday there is also a taxi driver strike, again brought on by the high prices of petrol. Argh.....

[edna]

I hope it´s warm and sunny, at least... so you can go to the beach.

Rach, when I was 16 I can remember the supposed "gas crisis" in Southern California. We had to sometimes wait in lines 2 hours long to get gas, and they doled it out via your license plate number - if the last digit was odd or even. Years later we discovered it was a gas station conspiracy thing where there was never a shortage, but they were able to drive the gas prices up by saying there was.
