40 bucks for a fill up?

Out of curiosity, what's everyone paying at the pumps where they live?
We're at 2.19/gallon up in northern MI............

Ack!

I saw 1.85 here in St. Louis, MO.

2.03 here in mass

Maybe I'll move to St. Louis, lol. I'm paying anywhere from $2.20-$2.45/gal. ($2.45 is usually out in the middle of no where when I go herping.) I think average is $2.25 or so. It's INSANE.

u guys are laughin!!!, i live in newfoundland... i researched it. and converted all the prices.... i am payin roughly 6.25/per gallon up here...... so consider ursleves lucky!!!

I felt lucky to pay $1.849 the other day; mostly the regular unleaded is $1.929 to $1.999 (trying to avoid going over the $2 mark). My first year in college, I used to go out of my way to pay $0.739 for regular leaded gasoline.

Around here its at $1.92

around Chicago average about $2.20 a gallon - my '95 Mercury Cougar (only 30,000 miles!) costs about 30-40$ to fill.... :(

1.98 here for regular. OPEC is beginning to terrorize us as much as bin laden is. Economic terrorism.


However, it is also important for us to realize that in Europe and Asia, paying around $2 a gallon is old news. In reality, we are just now catching up to the rest of the world. Maybe we'll start to take a look at our lifestyle, and be more conservative with our resources. I was happy to see the demand for SUV's dropping as gas prices rise- THERE IS NO REASON FOR A MOM TO DRIVE AROUND A 5.9L V8 (MADE FOR TOWING) TO DROP THEIR KIDS OFF AT SOCCER PRACTICE OR GO GET GROCERIES!

I drive a honda- 350 miles per tank of gasoline, which now costs me less than $20 to fill.

1.88/gal

Interesting articles on the subject:

All that and more is why we as consumers ought to be enthusiastically supporting research into thermal depolymerization as an alternative source for ready-to-use petroleum products.

Holy Cow Marla! I had no idea about that! Awesome link!!! I've been reading up on hybrids, hydrogen, solar, wind, etc but never even heard of this! Thank you for the info!

I've been very excited about the possibilities -- if a little skeptical of the claims -- of thermal depolymerization since the Discover article last year. It has the potentional to revolutionize everything from waste disposal to middle east policy, if the process is efficient enough and gets the support needed to get off the ground.

i walk. much cheaper.

$2.25 +- in Northern Cali

$2.09 Here in this little town....And we have a Marathon Refinery just 20 miles away....I have a 31 gallon tank on my truck so It would take around $65 dollars to fill from empty.

$2.33 for unleaded.....

I live in/near Seattle

It's 2.18 here in Ct (average for unleaded).
Luckily the new VW does very well on gas. Sadly I drive an average of 500 miles a week or so.
