The cheap stuff in San Francisco is $4.49. You can pay $4.75 at Chevron. I was just in NW Arkansas and filled up for $3.79 a gallon. I felt like I was getting a deal. Sheesh...

$4.29 here in Michigan now that the holiday weekend is over.  Still enough to make me cringe when I fill the tank.  I'm running errands in the nearby town where my clinic is at.  It's one of the major shopping centers in the area - about an hour from where I live.  I have a list of things to do for about half a dozen people while I'm there.  No one wants to spend the gas to go if they can help it!

I bet the Canadians are thinking: "Look you spoiled Americans, just pay for the darn gas already!  We have been paying outrageous prices for ages already!" Love you all!  :canadaflag;

$4.35, but oil prices have gone down in the last two days for August supplies due to stock exchange idiots trying to make a profit according to AP news I read.

I've been buying premium gas for my scooter, so I've been paying $4.75 a gallon.  I spent $15 on gas for the entire month of June when, with my truck, I would have paid $225.  The money I'm saving now is going to scooter payments.  I couldn't be happier parking Blue Devil and riding Rita everywhere I go. 

The only problem now is I want more power.  After I pay it off I'm thinking of trading up to a 250cc.

$4.01 for regular; I think premium is around $4.30, but those prices are at a wholesale membership club. The average is around $4.08 for regular.

It seems that the gas prices are hurting our local economy.  Stephen was at a restaurant in Williamsburg, VA last night and he said it was unusually quiet.  This was near Colonial Williamsburg, which is usually bustling this time of year.

Was $4.39 where I was driving on Monday. Haven't been out today nor will I go out tomorrow. Thursday I have to go out so hopefully gas will be down after reading the news on the internet on how oil has taken a deep plunge in price in so many years.

Not as much as last week or the week before because I am trying hard not to drive as much.  My son has to drive 66 miles a day to his team practice 5 days a week and then he goes to work in the other direction.  He is carpooling when he can.  It's enough to make me want a Prius.

gas is supposed to go down 9 cents a liter this week. We burn diesel not sure how much the price of that is supposed to go down.  Last trip to the tanks it was $1.69 a liter.
