How much are you paying for gas

Post by gman » Fri Aug 15, 2008 9:26 am

That depends on which fast food restaurant you are eating at.
Seriously, the zone is spread out all over. I'm curious what everyone is currently paying. We can drive an hour and change from us and pay anywhere from $3.79 to $4. I check gasbuddy regularly to see what the prices are near friends and family, and it's the same, give or take.
However, in our area, we have seen an average drop of 10 cents per week over the last seven weeks and are paying $3.39 at select stations. It may be 10 to 15 cents higher beyond that small area, but that's still pretty good. I'm amazed that we've seen such a large, and fast drop as the price of oil has come down, but it's not happening as fast elsewhere.

I saw it for 3.84 in the disputed zone. Come on up and see us.

79 cents at 4-star. Those were the days! Their smoked coke was pretty good too.

Last week I filled up at $1.191/liter.... whatever that is per gallon, I have no idea. Nor have the energy to find out.

I have paid as little as one .99 taco at Taco Bell for gas.

According to my math, that works out to $4.50/gallon. So, we're paying less than that, which is not fair...

We're not being taxed as much, if I had to hazard a guess.

That or they pump it for you elsewhere.
