Charlotte NC 1.58 per gallon for regular.

Vince · 02-25-2003, 07:34 PM

hahaha, lucky man. Isla Vista, CA: $2.03 Regular

JPhillips · 02-25-2003, 07:44 PM

When I was in Palm Springs the prices rose ten cents a week from 1.73 to 2.03. Thats for the cheap crap too.

Ryan S · 02-25-2003, 07:59 PM

$5.56 a gallon and rising

Vince · 02-25-2003, 07:59 PM

Ouch, and I thought I had it bad...

Jets80 · 02-25-2003, 08:00 PM

Ryan what are you buying, rocket fuel ?????

JasonTobiasIV · 02-25-2003, 08:01 PM

Finally an opportunity to brag about losing my driving priveleges.

Never drink & drive. (on a serious note, please don't - i feel like a heel for putting so many people at risk)

Easy Mac · 02-25-2003, 08:01 PM

1 got 1.49 a gallon today. i spent about 1.65 last week when I was in Charlotte. God I love hotel rooms on valentines

.

JeeberD · 02-25-2003, 08:01 PM

In Europe the price of gas is insane...

Luckily here we're still down around $1.55.

Kodos · 02-25-2003, 08:07 PM

My gas is so cheap that the cats drink unleaded now! (10 pts for anyone who gets the reference)

bbor · 02-25-2003, 08:14 PM

.80 cents......absolutly outrages....

did i mention that was per Liter?

JeeberD · 02-25-2003, 08:15 PM

How many liters are there in a gallon? Damn metric system...

Anrhydeddu · 02-25-2003, 08:23 PM

Been 1.59-1.61 all month here in Colorado

CamEdwards · 02-25-2003, 08:35 PM

$1.49... filled up last night.

Chuck · 02-25-2003, 08:41 PM

1 Gallons (US) equals 3.78541 Liters

.80/liter = approx. 3.03/gallon

KWhit · 02-25-2003, 08:42 PM

I'm still amazed that gasoline is less expensive than what people are spending on water these days.

Bottled water is so stupid. How do companies get off charging that much for freakin water?!?!

Sorry. Had to vent.

JasonTobiasIV · 02-25-2003, 08:43 PM

Because in some places water makes people sick.

And that is the real tragedy.

Craptacular · 02-25-2003, 08:43 PM

The cheap stuff is around $1.70-$1.80 per gallon here.

Nowhere in the US is the public water bad enough to harm you. Except for that place near Boston (Woburn, I think it's called). Of course even that place has been cleaned up, now.

In fact, there have been tests that show that many people's tap water is more healthy than the stuff sold in bottles.

KWhit · 02-25-2003, 08:47 PM

Sorry to thread-jack.

Gas prices do suck!

Holy SHIT!!...Now i am REALLY outraged.

kid_dynamite · 02-25-2003, 09:00 PM

1.69 here...nice thing is that the unleaded regular is the same price as the unleaded plus. so when i get gas here i get to put in a little bit better gasoline.

JasonTobiasIV · 02-25-2003, 09:01 PM

I'm only quoted when people want to point out my errors.

Marc Vaughan · 02-25-2003, 09:05 PM

Just to make you feel better ....

In the UK its over £4/gallon ($6 approx).

Balldog · 02-25-2003, 09:07 PM

About $1.70/gallon in NW Ohio.

Easy Mac · 02-25-2003, 09:14 PM

"Gas prices are going insane"

I didn't know inanimate objects could go insane

Ksyrup · 02-25-2003, 09:23 PM

$1.73 here in Tallahassee. Across the Georgia border, 9 miles away, it's about $.25 cheaper. Still not worth the drive.

As for water, I've been a fan of bottled/purified water since the early 80's, when I lived in College Station, TX. The tap water was so bad it was brownish, and we used to use old bottles to catch rain water to water the plants with - that's how bad it was.

Lathum · 02-25-2003, 09:25 PM

1.63 and I'm in New Jersey where I probably use half a tank just sitting in traffic. And I drive an SUV.

McSweeny · 02-25-2003, 09:27 PM

1.79 here in connecticut

sabotai · 02-25-2003, 09:31 PM

The local "mom and pop" gas station in my town is stil around $1.35 a gallon.

Easy Mac · 02-25-2003, 09:41 PM

Little do you know its 90% sugar and 10% gas.

What the hell do you drive? The Monstrosity? Even at the $1.69 it was here (I still throw Plus in my Grand Am for some reason), it still only cost me about $22 to fill up my car last week.

Jets80 · 02-25-2003, 10:14 PM

I got a 22 gallon tank.

Ever heard of an S.......U........V ??

Anrhydeddu · 02-25-2003, 10:24 PM

Here's a little puzzle: Take the current prices and adjust it to 1980 dollars. Then compare that adjusted price to what we were paying back then (post-"enery crisis" years).

sterlingice · 02-25-2003, 10:58 PM

I get 400 highway or about 300 if i just am driving to and from home for class for about a month. I love those months where I don't drive long distance any and I have 20 or 30 days before having to throw down my $20.

SI

Airhog · 02-25-2003, 11:00 PM

Its around 1.50 here. Takes close to 30 bucks to fill up my impala. And I get crappy mileage. As soon as I can afford it, Im getting a vehicle that gets better than 10mpg

Probably about the same...

Rich1033 · 02-26-2003, 06:34 AM

I payed $1.67 last time I filled up

Kevin · 02-26-2003, 06:35 AM

It got as high as 88.9 per litre here two weeks ago. Now it's back down to 80.9. Gas is heavily taxed in Canada which serves to magnify any increase. The real piss off is that the oil companies will raise the pump price the second crude prices go up, but try to hold off on decreases claiming they have to use up old higher priced stock. They must make a fortune every time world price fluctuate. I think most people have caught on now, and that explains why the prices seem to come down a little more quickly than they did in the past.

Bee · 02-26-2003, 06:52 AM

$1.72 the other day when I filled up.
