[Dancing Fire]

in the pass five weeks. in our area....$3.95 for low grade $4.05 for mid grade $4.15 for premium

 

[violet02]

I just checked 'Gas Buddy' via google maps for my area. It's $4.19! I haven't gotten gas in awhile I guess so I'm happy to see that!! YAY!


ETA: I'm assuming 4.19 is the price of regular since that's all gas buddy lists... i'm in northern california.

 

[oshinbreez]

I just got gas today for 3.68. The last few weeks it has dropped from 4.39.

 

[Shoopy]

I just realized I haven''t pumped gas in like a month. My FI has a gaz guzzler (old explorer that he *refuses* to get rid of) so he normally uses my car on the weekend and fills it up for me.

I checked gasbuddy too and its about 3.79 (fort lauderdale)

 

[Maisie]

We pay £1.10 per litre of petrol. I think thats approx $2.14

 

[Tuckins1]

Average around here is 3.79 for cash, 3.89 for credit... (Unleaded regular.) It''s on the way down, but it''s dream cruise weekend here, so gas might jump up again today and tomorrow.

 

[Sabine]

Ours is down to $3.59 for regular! Yay!

 

[Haven]

I just paid $4.09 on Chicago's North Shore for the cheapest version available. Woot!

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Ir was $3.75 at one station this morning.

 

[erica k]

$3.58 for us.

Anchorage, AK is still 2 $4.34 and upwards of $5 in rural areas!

The big expense is heating oil. Most Alaskans outside of the urban areas heat their homes with heating oil. Prices are ~ $7 a gallon in rural areas. My aunt paid about $800 a month to heat her home last winter. The price per gallon is more expensive now. Remember, this is Alaska and it gets COLD! Many people are worried that they can not heat their homes

For those who suggest wood burning, A great deal of AK is tundra hence no trees.........
It is a very serious situations and makes for tough times....

Yesterday it was 3.64 for regular; couple of weeks ago, some stations were at 3.57. Average for the last 3 weekends seems to be about 3.61.

Gas stations are using this as an incentive for people to pay with cash, so they don''t have to pay fees every time someone uses a credit card. It''s very common in some areas and unheard of in others.

I think I just saw $3.94 for 87 in north county San Diego (about 20 miles from downtown SD).
