When I drove home from work last night gas was $1.71. When I drove by this morning its $1.89. (west metro Mpls)
I know this is low compared to some areas of the country.I'm curious how much gas is going for in your area??

In NJ, anywhere between the two figures you gave. It varies by town around here.

Around $1.65 a gallon.

$1.89, $1.99, $2.09 depending on grade preference

It depends. If I get it close to the office using my Kroger card, I can get it for $1.60 a gallon. If I wait til I get home, it's $1.78.

In Mass, average is $1.79.

In southern Idaho it has been around $2.00!

I think this thread is an advertisment for the Toyota Echo and its peers.

We're somewhere in the $1.60-$1.80 range....I'll admit that I rarely even look anymore. I just fill'er up and pay the attendant.

These crazy gas companies are gouging us. It is making it hard for me to pay my cable bill (w/HBO, Showtime), my cellphone bill (2) and my membership dues at the gym. I blame it all on Bush!

Regular unleaded - $1.789 per gallon this morning. I'm glad I get good gas mileage.

I'll start stressing over it when the prices are higher than my mileage reimbursement.

About $1.65, $1.75, $l.85 per gallon......

I keep thinking of vacation....if things keep going it will cost a fortune to drive this summer.

I'm happy beer prices aren't increasing this fast!!

Helpfull hint. If you cancel the cable subscription so that you move artound more, you might not need the gym dues. Now wouldn't that solve a couple of your problems?

For 87 octane, Southern California prices range (all within a 15 mile radius) anywhere from $2.12 to $2.27

Not that it makes paying 2.00 per gallon for gas any easier, but it is comforting to know we are not alone.
Gas Prices Increasing by 20 %

Jon Stewart said last night that we pay less for gas than everywhere else in the world, but that's only because we are guarding all of the refineries. It's only right that we get an "employee discount".

That is very true. I was shocked by the difference in gasoline prices between Japan and the US. (Of course, everything seems overpriced there. )

I paid well over $3/gallon on my trip to Paris when we lived overseas. We got subsidized gas coupons for the Esso stations in Germany, but when we left the country, we were pretty much on our own. I remember paying something like $33 to fill up my Escort wagon in France.

So true. I also stopped complaining about the small amounts asked of us to pay at toll booths during travel after paying the extreme fees there. I think having the knowledge of the prices others are required to pay for things really puts it in perspective sometimes. Thanks for that reminder!

I hate you all!!!!! I paid $2.38 last night at the cheapest place in town!

You could always move to OK, you know.....yeah, I didn't think so.

hhmmmm... tempting
