What are your gas prices today?
 
Let's see how much the gas prices fluctuate from place to place and day to day...

I'm in south western Michigan, and today unleaded was $2.84

Yesterday it was $2.99

Jacksonville,Florida

Gas = 2.73 and today 2.72..

I use premium still, so i'm still at 3 bucks a gallon :(



www.gasbuddy.com Is your friend.

Unleaded petrol has started to drop in price, finally! And, for once, diesel is more expensive, even if by only a penny. So yeah, a litre of unleaded petrol costs 94.9p at the local station ($1.88).

Bear in mind this is per litre, not gallon. Per gallon it's £3.59 ($7.12).

Yeah go look it up on that Gasbuddy website, they're pretty good about their accuracy, they have people roam the streets and submit the prices they see, and they map it, along with Gas news for here and Canada.

I think we're just shy of $3 here in SoCal, I haven't filled the car the last few days since Abby did it last.

2.83 here on long island.

Wow lenny and I thought our prices we're high..

I'd burn down that gas station.

talentedhamster 2007-08-22 05:07 PM

no, thats the cheapest gas station. it sucks here.

Tyrannicide 2007-08-22 05:24 PM

Well, regular unleaded costs me $1.06.5 per Litre.

Yea, it costs me ~$50 to fill my gas tank, so its all good.

Why do you guys have to pay so much again?

Sovereign 2007-08-22 08:43 PM

2.95 is the cheapest I've seen for regular.

Where do you go. I paid $3.15 right up the block from me.

MightyJoe 2007-08-22 10:49 PM

Um cheapest I saw today was 2.99 for Southeastern Michigan, http://detroitgasprices.com/ = my usual search to find something cheap that I'll drive past.

kaos 2007-08-22 11:38 PM

$2.49 in Bakersfield, CA

Grav 2007-08-23 12:03 AM

2.83 or so

talentedhamster 2007-08-23 06:15 AM

really? for regular? the one by the high schools pretty cheep but the cheapest i saw was on motor parkway

D3V 2007-08-23 06:43 AM

2.65 today, like a 10 cent drop? o_O

Lenny 2007-08-23 07:03 AM

Because we have the great fortune of not being oil-rich.

94.9p/l is the cheapest locally. The most expensive is 99.9p - £3.78 for a gallon - $7.50! We pay three times as much as you... thank God I don't have my own car. :D

D3V 2007-08-23 07:31 AM

Yeah, but you guys don't have to drive around as much as we do. The average working american travels 70 miles a day.

Lenny 2007-08-23 07:43 AM

You'd be surprised at how much people do actually have to drive around.

It used to be the case that all the teachers at my primary school were local and lived in the village or nearest town... now they all live in the big cities. All of them will drive between twenty and forty miles to get to the school, and the same distance back. The same is true for about half of the teachers at the Grammar School.

Then there are all the people who live locally and work in one of the big cities - the nearest is thrity miles away. Some people could drive 100 miles in a day, simply to go to work.

And this is just a minute part of the country. Whilst it may not be the same down South, where people will either live in the city or commute on trains, around the Midlands, the North, and in Scotland, it's very rural, so people will have to travel a long way to get to work. The amount of money they spend on petrol per week is stupidly high.
