How much do you pay for gas? (in your car)

[argon 3]

This is more for the Americans... cause I know what the average gas prices are here in Canada. Right now, in my town, gas is $1.11 (CDN) a litre. That works out to $3.75 (US) a gallon.

Is it that expensive for you guys?

Isn't it terrible... when I got my license, about 10 years ago, I remember buying gas for 49-55 cents a litre. My how things change. Cigarettes were also about $5 a pack, and now they're at least $11.

I'm only 25, and I can already talk about how cheap things were when I was young! lol

Geesh!

OK, I'm going to go off and convert this now. Currently in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia, its hovering at the $1.39 per litre mark.

OK, so $1.39 Aussie dollars is $1.05 US dollars.

There's 3.75 litres in a gallon, so we're paying almost $4 US dollars per gallon here.

Its a shocker, we run two new big cars (cars are more pricey in Australian than the US too), we need to as we live in a pretty outer burb 40kms from the city, and as its a new large suburb its pretty spread out, so I do a lot of mileage without even leaving the area, let alone all the stuff I do in and around Melbourne. Doug works just outside of the city in an area pretty difficult to access by public transport from here, plus both our cars are salary packaged for tax reasons. We easily do 25,000 kms per year each, so yep, we spend about $200 Australian dollars a week on petrol.

We have no mortgage as our house was so cheap but inside the next 18 months, for a variety of reasons we're going to take on a humungously big mortgage, move about 25kms closer in to the city and ditch one car.

IN Michigan I would average out the price to be $2.83 today. Here is a super website to find the cheapest gas prices near where you live or work. My closest station was actually the cheapest for me at $2.74.

Paid $2.85 a gallon yesterday in New Jersey. I remember being in upper pennisula Michigan with my grandfaher and the Bay station was .59/gallon and he complained about the rising prices. Talk about feeling old.

I'm in the south burbs of Chicago and it is $2.99 for regular. We are getting ready to move to the western burbs and it has been .10 cheeper a gallon everytime we have looked in that area. I was in Chicago a few weeks ago and regular was $3.15 a gallon, I'm not sure what is it now but I am sure it has gone up. My husband commutes to work and he is looking at hybird (sp?) cars or looking to pick up a cheap motorcycle to save on fuel. ~Mandy

3.23 here in vegas, I have a Average size car , ( not a compact and not a s SUV) and it cost me 42 bucks to put gas in my car last week, I almost threw up.

My DH swears its a ploy of the oil companys to make the bench mark 3.00 us dollars a gallen , so that when we see it for 2.90 we run to the pump!! how sad. I drive alot and think about a hybrid but as of now they are too small or too expensive.

so we will see.
