I paid 2.69 using my Giant Eagle Advantage card last Wed before I went to New Jersey. I paid 3.47 in New Jersey before I left Friday. I kind of got lost. I didn't mind it was a beautiful drive. But needed more gas to get home and paid 3.69 on the PA turnpike. I attempted to fill up again before I went to Pittsburgh but stopped at 40.00 Monday. It was 3.59.

By the way I love New Jersey. I like being waited on.

Holy crap! I had to get gas on my way back from class a few minutes ago, and gas shot up to $3.79 from $3.43 yesterday!!! Our area of Ohio usually has the cheapest gas around because we have a local oil refinery. What happened?! There must be trouble there. Yikes!! I only got half a tank in the hopes the price goes down a little before I need more.

$3.90 here in Michigan.  Apparently, I need to bio-engineer a car that runs on milk - it's a lot cheaper a gallon.

It's now $4.65 (they say 4.649, if you please!).   And there is no way I can cut down my movements because a public transport system is almost non-existent here.  This country has a very high Gross National Product for a developing country, so almost everyone has transport. The only other option is a taxi and a 20 min journey costs $24.00!!  AND I AIN'T WALKIN'!!!!!!!!!!

$3.79 and going up a penny or two every day.   Does anyone else remember the gas rationing in the 70's?  Only able to buy gas on odd or even days. Sitting in line for 2 hours waiting to get gas. And station after station closing because they had no gas.     What are you doing different now to save gasoline?    UPS says to plan your outings before you leave and make as many right turns as possible (do you errands in a circle).  And it takes less gas to turn off the engine and then restart it than it does to let the engine idle.   I think I am staying home! :rofl;

I paid $1.24 a litre this morning equaling $4.68 a gallon Canadian dollars or $4.72 US

It's predicted to go to at least $1.50 a litre this summer or $5.68 a gallon (CAN)

Unfortunately it will be hard for me to walk 1000Km (452M) a week so I have to stay bent over and keep taking it
