Thanks!
Here’s another one.
looks like the average here is 4.20 a gallon :passedout: for 87 …
87 octane is $3.149
I see the average in our area (Dallas Metroplex) is $3.21. We buy at Costco nearby and the last time it was $3.05. Guess we are not as bad off as a lot of the country.
I can remember when I was going through tech school (jr. college), gas was at $1.10 or less a gallon … now it is $3.29 a gallon for 87 octane around here … :whoosh:
Hey, don’t complain 
Here we pay 1.7$ for liter of 95 octane (which is the regular) ,so it’s about 6.8$ per gallon :passedout:
Hmm I think I wish I had a horse to drive…they might be cheaper.
You may not want to do that either, hay is running over $200 a ton here right now. It was over $100 a ton during haying season.
Gas is about $3.35/gal here right now. Diesel is about $4.20.
I know what the average price is of the three closest gas stations. As long as it isn’t more than 5¢ a gallon difference I’ll fill up at the closest one. The Citgo up the street seems to be 3¢ cheaper a gallon than the one just around the corner. My dh works in Alabama where they have fewer state taxes on their gas, so it generally runs between 5¢-10¢ a gallon cheaper. He always fills up over there. The difference of 3¢ a gallon is only about 50¢ to fill my tank. My time running around to find the “best price” isn’t worth the 50¢.
What I find funny is that there is a Shell station right across the street from a Raceway. The Shell station is always at least 15¢ more expensive. And they get their gas from the same place! I kid you not. I watched the gas truck leave the Shell station and drive to the Raceway to deliver gas.
I remember when I started seeing my boyfriend about 12 years ago - gas was 89 cents at Sheetz.
we have up to 30c diff in price per gallon here sometimes, especially i you drive to the state capital. we can have esy 20c diff from one town to the next
what freaks me out so much, is that the poorer communities tend to have the higher prices, the more upper middle class ones the Lower cost.
anyone else notice this?

OK, I’m feeling old. In 1988 I was paying 52¢ a gallon for regular leaded gas for my '72 Superbeetle. I could fill my tank for just at $5 and go for nearly 2 weeks on one tank of gas. Of course it also cost about the same every 2 weeks for oil :teehee: . I miss that car! I miss those gas prices.
I was just talking about this the other day. I distinctly remember the day gas went above $ 0.99. I was just starting to drive and had to pay my own gas. Boy was I ticked to have to pay $ 12 - 14 at the pump every 2 weeks or so. If I had only known that that I would get excited to see gas at $3.00. The cheapest around here yesterday was $3.11.
I teach women’s studies classes and every term we make students do a class project around raising awareness. One group went to stores in a poor neighborhood and a better off neighborhood. THey recorded how much was a gallon of milk, and gas and stuff like that. THey reported across the board, things were cheaper in the well of neighborhood and more expensive in the poor neighborhood.
Now you’re really making me feel old. When I started driving gas was $.29/gal.
I remember being able to fill up my VW Bug for about $3. Now it’s about $45 or more for a fill up. 
AAAAWWW! It was $.25 a gal. when I 1st started driving. Quite a shock today. Saw it for $3.23 for regular.
It only took $2.00 to fill our mini Cooper in 1967.
Right here in my little burg the cheapest gas is $3.52 and I can drive to another station owned by some people from out of the area and they sell it for $3.38, so I drive over there (5 or 6 miles and often on my way somewhere). Diesel is about $4.29 I think.
Yes, I have noticed high prices in low income areas. We are a low income area here and most everyone has to drive longer distances for services and prices are HIGH.
