Gas Prices..............

Gas prices are the killer!

A year ago I used to fill up the whole gas tank for $25, now I pay $30 just to fill up 75%.
How much do you guys pay for gas now? I am going from $2.25 to $2.29

Time to use my "alternative ways" of getting around. he he. Driving the car is a lot of fun, however very costly in the long run. 20 miles roundtrip to bike and only 16 to drive.

It's about $1.70/gal here, but it still hurts. I think I remember filling up from empty for around $16 back in 93 when I first bought my SVX!

Austrian Gas-Prices

We pay € 0,96/litre over here.

1 Gal = 3,78541 litre

That means: We pay € 3,63/Gal

Wow!

I find it hard to feel sorry for you guys.

In the UK, petrol costs about 79.9 pence per litre. That's #3.79 GBP per US gallon which equates to $5.93 US. Thats $110 for a full tank.

Phil.

I paid $1.39 last night for regular. It cost me $9.11 to fill the Justy and $19.05 to fill the Legacy. Premium was $1.55.

Our gas prices have plummeted 40 cents a gallon since last week. Anybody want me to ship them some?

And, as a side note, this is why I drive the Justy. That $9.11 in gas will last me a little over a week with our current weather and would last me nearly two weeks in summer. The most I've paid for a week's worth of gas was sometime this winter - it was about $13.50.

It never is, man.

Look, two years ago we had the highest gas prices in the country for awhile. This is compensation.

My g/f was just in Ireland and was paying $4 per gallon there.
but the truth of the matter is, we fight to keep our prices
low because of the help we offer to other countries etc..
So this is a little outta hand and not justified by any means.
The oil companies are using the Mission in Iraq as an excuse to raise their prices.......and its working.
