Gas? What's it cost in your area

diverg · Post by **diverg** » June 6, 2008 11:10 am

I drive about 240 miles a day for my job, and I'm spending about $27-28 on gas eveery day. Thank god I have a Toyota Corolla and get over 32 miles per gallon, but I'm still spending close to $600 per month on gas. Gas is costing me about $3.77 a gallon where I fill up. So how much are you spending on gas?

For comparison to fill up a Boeing 737 cost over $25,000.00 at current fuel prices for Continental airlines.

I traveled to TN on business this week.

It was $3.77 around Knoxville and creeping into the $3.80's in Nashville

It running about $3.94 in Charlotte right now

Three weeks ago, I was upset to pay $3.77, now it's great to find it at that price. We get conditioned so quickly.

Yeah, but $.505 was set when it was $3.00 or less a gallon. It should probably be closer to $.605 at this point.

Dang I think gas is going up again within the next day or two. Heck I haven't driven by the gas station yet so my $3.77 a gallon may already be wrong.

Gas prices up $7 a barrel Friday morning...

I filled up here on Monday at $4.23, which was at least 10cents cheaper than any other station. Haven't seen the price since, but the average here now is about $4.40

Average price around my house (North Dallas) is $3.88, but I found a station for $3.82 the other day.
Fortunately, I don't drive much and my husband works about 5 miles from our house.

$3.87 down the street from me. Cost $36 to fill up the Yaris, $68 to fill up the Mini Van, and $48 to fill up the Firebird Convertible.
Guest which one get's the worst gas mileage? No, not the Firebird, the Dodge Caravan. Average about 17 mpg in that pig.

Georgia - $3.89 for regular - $4.60 diesel

News report today - "Oil prices $150 by July 4th" which means gas prices close to $5 a gallon.

I have a few family members that work for the state. Some state agencies are saying $6 a gallon by fall.
