How much did you pay for gas this week?
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 03:34 AM by JPJones
And how did it make you feel?

Lots of upward pressure on gas prices in the short term.

1. I'll tell you
I paid $2.55 a gallon for regular unleaded on Monday in San Francisco. Isn't that disgusting?

2. Imagine if a Democrat were in the WH, seeking re-election --
this would be a non-issue?

3. $2.17
For our ethanol blend. And apparently several people around here are having trouble with their fuel injectors. Problems switching from summer to winter blends, apparently.

No sir, I don't like it.

4. $2.00 as of yesterday
but around here gas goes up on Thursdays....

Big Ouch for our wallet, and we have to order some heating oil -- dreading to hear what that is going to cost us

My mom asked what I wanted for Christmas -- told her to send cord wood for woodstove... she said it would be cheaper to just send a check.... shipping a cord or two of wood from Minneapolis to PA is a bit expensive...

10. $2.13 Central Ohio and it is now Thursday AM which means
that right now it is $1.97, and before lunch it will soar to probably $2.21 - $2.23 or higher until Tuesday after lunch, if the past few weeks history is an indicator.

13. $2.09 last night near Gulph Mills, PA.
I didn't like it at all, but I had no other choice. Besides, I had to pee, so the first gas station I came across was getting my business, even if it was $10/gallon.

15. its down here to 1.95 BUT I did figure it out
our monthly spending on gas for two cars and fillin gup about once a week is 240.00 a month...that leaves less for extra spending--we have been staying home a lot to avoid driving extra OR spending money we might need for gas..and now comes the heating bills...

its sick..how this can't and won't affect the economy seems like bullshit to me

18. I didn't buy gas...
I walked or used my bicycle. A positive side to the rising cost of oil, if you want to look at it that way. Diesel, my fuel of choice, is now $2.26 a gallon.

19. Can you imagine the uproar if
...a democrat incumbent was running??

We have already made several changes to our driving and weekend patterns because the increases are becoming just too much.

20. 2.29
