Our gas just went to $3.00 this morning. in KC

[leftyladyfrommo]

Big article in the paper said we could see $4 before too long.

Boy am I glad I bought my Toyota Yaris. 36 miles to the gallon in town. Nothing fancy about it but it gets me around just fine.

[havocmom]

1. Premium went to $3.47 where I live

I predicted $4 by Memorial day... Probably off by several months from the look of things.

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. Where are you?

We are usually quite a bit under what people pay on the coasts.

[nancyr]

3. $3.19 FOR REGULAR

3.19 on the Oregon coast. Has been for 2 weeks.

[laylah]

30. Same here in

itty bitty hamlet just east of the Quad Cities on the Il/IA border. That's what it was yesterday, anyway. I am afraid to venture out today to see what it has skyrocketed to.

[havocmom]

5. Remote rural community in Montana

Miles from anywhere, so they do gouge a BIT.

[raccoon]

4. $2.92 is about the best you can do in upstate SC. nt

[rox63]

7. $2.89 was the cheapest for regular gas I found in my northeast MA town last night

That's up over a dime from my last fill-up. Most stations are between $2.90 and $3.00 around here.

[Purveyor]

6. Mid-Michigan prices popped up a dime to $3.30 unl/reg. eom

[Sabriel]

8. More scary is that diesel went up 6 cents this morning

It's now 3.55 near me.

I'm afraid for the cold states and the low-income, fixed budget people. How can you afford rising food prices and heating costs, not to mention gas for getting to your job?

These are frightening times.

[tammywammy]

9. I paid $3.19/gallon for diesel last Friday

I saw it at one place (that's usually higher than other gas stations) had it at $3.39 yesterday.

I do worry about those that use heating oil.

[Beerboy]

11. The indie truckers are takin it in the shorts

w/ these prices; pretty much everything we buy @ the local level is delivered by truck.

[sarcasmo]

19. As an ex Indie trucker their days are numbered. The 90's was great with Diesel at 99cents

but I couldn't imagine a fill up at $3.50 which is what Diesel is here in Michigan.

[AlCzervik]

10. $3.36 a gallon, regular in sacramento.

[prole_for_peace]

12. right behind you in SE texas

we were at $2.90 tuesday (i have been sick and haven't left the house since then).

i live in one of the biggest refining areas of the country and usually our gas is cheap compared to everyone else. not anymore.

i try not to complain about the price because i hope high prices will lead to less consumption and more research into alternatives but it does hurt when it costs $40+ to fill my cavalier with its 13 gal tank.

[rucky]

13. I drove a Yaris as a rental.

It's a fun, zippy little car.

[burythehatchet]

27. 70 MPG's baby!

[Blaze Diem]

14. A TV economist predicted $4 a gal. in two weeks time.

easily. As soon as that happens everything that relies on transportation for any part of its existence, will raise prices or cut services.
Just in time for winter. But that top 1% will at least be toasty warm and well fed during the coldest months. Bush's base.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. bu$h's base can afford higher fuel prices and the jump in goods/services that result .

Six years of tax cuts guarantee that. Happy now you moronic values voting J6P? IDIOTS! :argh:

[Javaman]

15. Pfft! what took you so long? nt

[Neshanic]

16. Those cars are nice. I see many now, how do you like yours?

[leftyladyfrommo]

28. Yes. I sure am not sorry I bought it.

I think I am seeing lots more really small cars on the road now. There are lots out that look just like my Yaris - tiny hatchbacks.

[tabasco]

17. I have an Echo.

Great little car.

[leftyladyfrommo]

29. I have a friend with an Echo. He loves it.

But you can't buy those anymore. Just didn't go over here in the States.

[tabasco]

32. I bought mine used before the gas got really high.

By that time, Toyota had decided to stop sales in the US.

I saw the writing on the wall. It is almost impossible to find a used one now.

It seems the little Echo has something of a cult following.

[sarcasmo]

18. $3.26 here in West Michigan.

It cost me $43 to fill up my Taxi for a twelve hour shift, looks like it's new job time this summer, if I can find one.

[Joe Fields]

20. Confirmed. I live in Independence, and it was 40 cents cheaper

ten days ago. Now, like you said, it's $2.99. I drive a 13 year old Taurus, just had new tires put on and got a tune up, and the best I get is 25 mpg.

[Disturbed]

24. $3.25 in the East Bay CA.

It will prolly go up to $3.95 in a month. The Saudis are holding back on the supply.

[Juneboarder]

22. San Diego, CA (Vista)

Our cheapest right now is Costco at $3.21/gallon for regular unleaded and I've seen it as high as $3.39/gallon for regular unleaded...

[Initech]

23. Some places in L.A. have reported $3.75 / gal

I swear that we're either going to have another Great Depression or another French Revolution. Personally, I'm praying for the latter.

[ThomWV]

25. We went from $2.89 to $3.19 in two days.

[texanwitch]

26. I am glad I have my little truck.

I can get 40 miles per gallon.

[Rosemary2205]

31. Even Bernake is admitting big oil greed is destroying the country.

When a died in the wool corporatist is telling Exxon to cool it because they are sucking the life out of Walmart then it's getting pretty damn bad.
