$4.49 a gallon! Lord have Mercy!

Gas was $3.59 when I was home over the weekend but I know how often gas prices change and jump around so it's hard to tell what it could be now. I know where I attend school, gas jumped about 10 cents over night which is just sad. I'll definitely be looking for a job this summer and the one I am considering applying for is quite a ways from my house, which means that I'll have to drive a ways to get there. I'm sure that'll end up taking most of my paycheck, the gas that is. I'm definitely not looking forward to that.

When we filled up last Thursday it was at $3.35 and we figured since we filled up it would go down, our type of luck. Instead over the last ew days it's gone up. We went out today and the cheapest I saw was $3.45 and the most expensive at $3.55 for the low grade gas. I saw diesel up to $4.19 a gallon. I know we are conserving trips as much as possible. Our vehicle isn't the most economic on gas but we needed an SUV due to street flooding in our area along with the fact my sister and I have severe back problems so we needed something easy to get out of and had room for a walker. Still it does pretty good on gas but it still not as good as some vehicles out there. I don't think vacations will be something we'll be doing this summer, not unless we come into some unplanned money.

I'm not sure what the current gas prices are (though my husband did tell me the other day) but i do know they have gone up 18cents in the past two weeks and will be goign up even more I have a feeling that travel this summer isnt going to be easy...

Gas was $3.65 per gallon here yesterday and I must say that it is hurting us a great deal. It affects the way that I do everything. I am tired of paying out half of my paycheck to these people who are earning more in profit than probably I will ever earn or my kids will earn. I am thinking about buying a bike and riding it. The price of gas is starting to cause problems with paying bills and feeding my family!!

Yes the gas cost is totally out of hand..here in MN its 'only' about 3.50 I hate it.

For starters do a web search, type in "find the cheapest gas in my area." There are sites on the web that will tell you where the cheapest place to buy gas is at in your neighborhood. It's being said that some places are actually 14 cents a gallon less than so of these high end gas stations. Its just being able to find them. I know map quest already has or will have this feature in the next few days. It's not gone to help a whole lot but it will help some. Right now gas in my neighborhood is going anyway from $3.31 all the way up to $3.60 depending on the part of the city you are buying it from. We just need to remember to fill our tanks in the areas that aren't as busy, filling your tank on a heavily used road is gone to cost more to fill up. With summer vacations approaching we will surely be seeing $5.00 a gallon for regular by the time June hits. Wow I really hope I am wrong.

tell me about it... i am actually feeling very angry now with my hubby as he is so stupid!!! we fill the fuel yesterday as it is the cheapest day among all days in the week... we usually fill it in our usual gas station... but yesterday he needs to go to a pharmacy near our house to have a paperwork sighted by a pharmacy to apply for another job... i fall asleep when he passes through our usual gas station... when i wake up, i asked him why he didn't fill the fuel there... he says because there is a very long queue there... well, there is always a queue there and usually we also wait... i don't know why yesterday my hubby doesn't want to wait... he says that there will be another gas station on the way to pharmacy... and yes, it does... but the price is so high and i actually tell my hubby that... he still insists to fill the fuel there even though it is 3 cents more expensive per litre... that is ridiculous... that is the highest price i ever fill the fuel for... and true enough, when we go back to our usual petrol station, it is 3 cents cheaper like i say... grrrr... i tell my hubby that we don't need to spend more money as we should as the petrol price is already high enough... i am trying to save every penny i can... i am so mad with my hubby now as he never listens to me... so hard-headed and always make stupid decision!!!

I know and it's awful. Diesel is what most trucks that drive our food around run on. So, that's not making it easier for us across the board. In regards to gas prices, I'm lucky that my work pays for a huge chunk of what I need to buy, but I have to buy the gas first and get paid about a month later. I am seriously considering taking the train and buses to travel to my favorite places. I'll take my bike with me when I do that so that I can get around. The problem is that the train doesn't go everywhere I want to go. Also don't most trains run on diesel? I haven't checked the price of a train ticket recently.

last time i was out the cheepest gas was 3.49 a gallon it is going up too high i think i think it should be cheeper b/c almost everyone and there mother drive................

We are paying like $3.49 but it still feels like a million. I remember filling my tank for $15 and that only seems like yesterday, now I am lucky to get away with under $40 and I drive a Honda Civic. I got this car just beacuse of gas prices and Im sure it has already payed for its self in the 9 months we have had it. 35 miles to the gallon and I was getting 15. I need a car that runs on high hopes and sunshine so we can afford to eat.

well i live in canada and the price of gas is just as high - $20 for a litre and they say it will go up to at least $1.40 per litre by the summer, but good news all you driver! i hear the gas prices are going to fall by late fall!! YAY!

I don't know where you live but I am staying as far from there as possible! I thought it was getting high here but our regular is at $3.57 most place and premium is around $3.75. Our diesel is the same which doesn't make much sense. Buying online is starting to make more sense. I just wish Walmart would deliver more items LOL. The things we make the most trips to get aren't available online.

when i first saw the title of this post, my first question was..."gas or milk?" lol

gas is chaging prices of everything

go to g255.com and see how to save 40% on gasoline or diesel then get back to me hear at http:mylot/bigedshult and I will show you how !

Believe it or not I saw middle priced gas was, ready? 4.65! It will be 5.00 pretty soon.

I know!!! THey better hurry up and get those alternative fuel cars out and with affordable prices:) Although from what I saw in the auto show this year most cars are much more economical that what they were.

Here in Northern Ireland,I paid £1.11 a Litre during the week.(Regular Unleaded) 3.78 Litres per US Gallon =£4.19 = $8.30 a Gallon!

And to think that diesel used to be a lot cheaper than gas and a lot of people changed their engines in their trucks to diesel, and that cost them thousands of dollars to do, just to save some money by buying diesel instead of gas. Or all those big diesel trucks that are new, people bought them when the price of diesel was cheaper and paid more for the trucks because they use diesel. So what ever happened to increase the price of diesel? I know that it had to increase the way gas did, but it was supposed to be cheaper to buy and use. I guess those days are gone, too.

it won't end that is the problem.
