How much are you paying for gas in your area? I don't drive (thank God), but gas in Montréal goes for about 80¢/Liter right now. That's crazy! :mad:

Brent88 03-08-2004, 01:35 PM We're lucky here... $1.52 a gallon last time I checked. National Average is now $1.72 a gallon. It's over $2 a gallon in California. :eek: Crimson and Clover 03-08-2004, 01:50 PM its about 1.63 a gallon here. but i have a tiny car with great gas mileage. Moonlight Lady 03-08-2004, 01:53 PM Last time I filled up it was $1.83 cost me close to 9 bucks to fill the tank, in Upstate NY Mijada 03-08-2004, 03:03 PM It varies over here. One day it might be $1.60 per gallon and the next day it's like $1.79. EricIdlefan 03-08-2004, 04:54 PM I fill it up when it gets to about a half a tank and my parents(I can thank my father for this!!) says it saves the car money!! HuntingtonM15 03-08-2004, 04:58 PM It's been around $1.60-$1.70 per gallon for the past couple months. Chelsea 03-08-2004, 05:01 PM $1.65/gallon here.

Sterling Holobyte 03-08-2004, 06:00 PM It seems like gas prices go up the farther North that you go. Why is that? Rhiannon 03-08-2004, 06:06 PM Ours are like $1.63 right now, and they keep going up. Now tell me, how is someone like me who is able to drive supposed to pay for GAS and INSURANCE when I can't even get a job??? I'm really mad at EVERYTHING right now :mad: Georgia's on my Mind 03-08-2004, 07:49 PM this is a reason why im glad i dont have my license yet. Brent88 03-08-2004, 08:18 PM Originally posted by Sterling Holobyte It seems like gas prices go up the farther North that you go. Why is that? and West... it all depends on where they get the crude oil from. The states with the lowest gas prices are in the East and generally south of the Mason/Dixon Line, and the highest are West of the Mississippi for the most part. Mysty Eyes 03-08-2004, 08:28 PM Well, I don’t drive. I take the bus. But yes, prices are over $2.00/gallon in Los Angeles. California prices statewide are higher than most other places because our gas has to meet higher regulatory standards in order to keep our air cleaner. Smog, y’know. That adds $$ to the overall price. EricIdlefan 03-08-2004, 09:02 PM Big states like California, Illinois, New York, & Texas have high gas prices due to taxes!!

EricIdlefan 03-11-2004, 02:15 AM I heard that the energy calls that save you not just money but gas and is environtmentally protected are really modest but also environmentally consumed cars and help not bring too much smoke and cause any and all kinds of pollution. Nanny Fine 03-11-2004, 09:16 AM I just filled up my car last night - $25. I have to fill up twice a week - I drive 50 miles round trip to work every day.

I mean, its a huge vehicle with a huge gas tank anyway..it costed a lot to fill it up before. Luckily, our gas prices havent reached $2 yet.
