We are paying $3.15 (Chevron Regular) 


OMG, our gas has gone up .24 in 4 days, we are now at  $3.39 that is crrrrrrrazy  :urcrazy;

Now we are up to $3.45, that is .06 in 2 days, ohhhh when is it ever gonna stop  :banghead;  I put $50.00 and barely got 1/2 a tank  :urcrazy;

My god, what do you drive? My husband drives a gas guzzling, 12 year old, 12 miles to the gallon Dodge Ram pickup and his tank has never cost more than $75 to fill!

I personally pay 2.95 for unleaded.  My hubby, however, drives a F250 diesel and he is currently making his own "bio-diesel" from used vegitable grease.  He's in the process of building a bio-diesel plant!  Very cool!

As always we pay more here near Los Angeles than the national average.
The lowest price around is $3.21 for regular and $3.43 for premium - (the highest is $3.71 for regular!!)
I wonder if we will ever see the price go below $3.00 again??

     Today               3.076                    108.572

In Newfoundland, Canada gas is about $1.20 a litre-over $5.00 a gallon I think (can't do conversion) .  Our truck is diesel and that is about $1.20 as well.  gets more mileage with diesel that gas.  We get about 22 miles to the gallon with diesel in a supercab Dodge ram 2500!!  We have oil wells off shore too!!  Good for our economy with the high cost of oil but not so good when you go to the gas pumps!!!

I have a little Mitsubishi jeep. [Livecam knows it  :yahoo;]  A full tank from near empty costs just around $45.  I am not sure of the exact cost per gallon or litre.  i will check.  I just drive up and put in whatever I can afford, usually.  Except the gas station that I use have a kind of frequent user policy.  If you put in $30 or more, you can ask for a receipt. When you collect 20 receipts you can take them it, they add them up, divide the total by 20 and give you that much gas free.  i had it once and am now up to 11 receipts.
