Gas Prices: Over $3.00/gal?

Look on the bright side, at least you have the Cubs

lol... I live about 4 blocks from the field... I HATE baseball season!

I paid $2.74 at Costco today.

How do you get around? Is there public transit or anything? I have to commute somewhere between 210-240 mi (338-386 km) once to twice a week. I'd run out of money really fast if gas cost that much all the time!

Over in the UK/Scott area, they counteract it with their outrageously cheap cars. If I could get a good low mileage (60-80k miles) car for $1000, I'd gladly pay those prices in gas. You can't touch a good car with under 200,000 miles and a pile of rust for $3000 where I am.

We've been paying between $2.85-2.90 for probably about a year here.

We're getting there, we're at about $2.85 now, give or take. Costco is less, I think I saw it at $2.76 on Saturday.

I'm kind of surprised, Oregon... well the west coast really... usually has higher gas prices. It's weird seeing it be on the cheaper side.

$2.91 seems to be avg for regular unleaded central florida though I did see it 3 days ago for $2.79 near the Wal~Mart near WDW

I paid $2.65 today. I'm in Middle Tennessee.

$2.87 at the gas station by our house.... It has been creeping up from about $2.60 in the past few weeks.

I'm a bit north of L.A. and it's the same here. I'm lucky if I find anything cheaper than about $3.10

That's just what I'm used to paying, actually it will likely go higher during the summer. My tank of gas does last for almost 2 weeks so it's not too bad. I will not use public transit, it scares me lol.

2.70/ It will get worse with them this latest oil spill.

It's $2.69 here and for the love of Disney why in the world doesn't just BP's gas prices go up? why does it have to be all , It's not like the rest of the oil companies are having to pay for the clean up. I'm tired of getting bills I'm not creating in the name of "taxes". I wonder what I can come up with to bill the federal, state and local treasurers and see how much I can get . Well, that thought was short lived guess I better get off and get back into the real world

I just spent $2.79/gal this morning. Yesterday on my way home from work, it was $2.72/gal at the same station. Last week, it was around $2.58/gal.

We just bought plane tickets for our WDW trip at the end of this month, and it looks like that was a good choice, especially if the prices keeping creeping upward.

Gas in San Diego (one of the most expensive gas markets in the country) got below $2.00/gal in early '09 due to the recession. It's been at least $3.00/gal for about 6 months, I'm sure it'll go up from there.

And we were in Newport Beach from '08-'09 and just moved to San Diego in March '10. Those Orange County gas prices were $$$$$!

 

[Planogirl]

I don't want to go back to the high prices! Ugh, what a mess.

 

[Trish Bessette]

$2.96 in Vermont

 

[Silent1CB]

I paid $2.93 on Saturday in southern RI.

And wouldn't you know it, we are doing a 2 week road trip this summer. Did one in 2008 when prices were over $4. I have bad timing.

Highest I ever saw was May 2008, that gas station west of Yosemite National Park entrance. $5.10 for self serve. We took a picture because no one would believe us.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

$3.07- Long Island, NY

 

[happygirl]

Ours jumped 9 cents overnight

 

[Mrs. Charming]

It's anywhere between 2.90 and 2.97 for regular. I'm sure it will be a few cents more when we go out today!

Welcome to summer...
