1. $2.36 here but it's okay because......

Just so long as them queers can't get married that's all that matters!!!!


(at least in my backwards ass town that seems to be the general consensus)


I drive an 06 Civic which gets around 35 mpg, but the minute I land another job I am going back to taking the bus. (my last job was a contract job that required the use of my personal vehicle)

[Skittles]

18. my 05 Civic does not get NEAR the mileage they claim it does

not even close

[serryjw]

19. Yeh....In my backwards ass town

Denver, the RW nutjobs have agreed to compromise on our future constitutional ballot measure that would give gays rights for civil union but not marriage...Does that mean our gas prices are going up or down?:sarcasm:

[Rainscents]

2. $2.29 here Washington State

[ewoden]

5. 2.50 here just outside DC

Oh I almost forgot "bomb, attack, president, microbe, radiation, isotope, explosive, guns" How am I doing Agent Mike?

[progressivebydesign]

27. Was $2.07 yesterday in Washington State.. probably gone up. n/t

[unsavedtrash]

[BlueCaliDem]

4. Went from $2.39 (premium) to $2.69 in just 3 weeks in SoCal. n/t

[niyad]

6. $2.25 for regular unleaded here--price has been bouncing between

$2.05 and 2.35 for the last month.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. but bill o'reilly said the economy is doing better

and dick morris said bush is only unpoplular because he's been too successful and people haven't figured it out

are you saying FAUX is wrong?!?

[SW FL Dem]

8. Paid 2.59 yesterday here in FL for mid grade. n/t

S.W. Oklahoma

[mike_c]

Move to red state Utah

[txindy]

25. Hey, how come your red state gas is a quarter less than my red state gas?

Heh. Maybe it's a slap at the BugMan for all the trouble he's caused them.

[Nutmegger]

14. There was a slight increase here

I'm lucky enough to live near a bus line so I take the bus TO work AND school! Feel bad for those who are not as fortunate though.

[hopeisaplace]

15. .95 cents per liter today (where I live in Ontario Canada)

[serryjw]

17. OMG...How many liters in a gallon!

n/t

[hopeisaplace]

20. 1 US Gallon is approx 3.78 Liters

1 Liter is approx .265 gallons

..thank you google :)


edit: better google info

1 U.S. Gallon = 0.83267 Canadian (Imperial) Gallons
1 Can Gallon = 1.201 U.S. Gallons
1 U.S. Gallon = 3.785 Liters
1 Can Gallon = 4.546 Liters

[serryjw]

21. How can you afford that......??

Is it always that way or has it gone in the last year?

[PDJane]

24. It's gone up.......

and appears to be going up as we speak, practically.

I am one of those folks who lives in downtown Toronto; for those places too far away to walk, there is transit, thank you. Owning a car here is prohibitively expensive; I can think of a lot of things to do with the approximately $800 to $1,000 per month that I would spend if I owned a vehicle.

[hopeisaplace]

26. it's gone up since * Admin in power - coincidence I guess

It did go crazy after Katrina...and then back down to low .80's
..I remember last year when that was an OBSCENE price...now it's
suppose to keep us happy if it goes down. I remember just a few years
ago looking in the .50's and .60's and thinking in the .60's was a rip-off.

I also remember after the first gulf war..that's when gas prices took a leap,
and we never saw them come back down after the war ended...pre gulf war,
gas prices in the mid to high .40's...post gulf war .50's and .60's became
the new norm. Infuriating.

I have a mini-van..costs about $60ish to fill. I drive only when necessary..which
with kids can be quite a bit.

[Oceansaway]

16. $2.29/ illinois...n/t

[ginnyinWI]

22. $2.39 greater Milwaukee area

[f-bush]

23. Regular Unleaded

at a cheap station can be hhad for 2.11 and the most expensive I've seen is 2.86 for a full serve premium gas.

[Meneinos]

28. Ooo... math.

Bit harder to calculate than I thought, actually. At worst, $1.50 per liter. But you guys go by gallons, don't you? That'd make it $5.7, if I'm using the right gallon and assuming 10.00 Norwegian Kroner = $1.50.

However, 65% of that is tax, which we get back in neat stuff like free health care and school and roads and other nice expensive things. Seen like that, we're wobbling a bit between $1.50-2.00.

[renate]

30. welcome to DU!!!!

And thank you for going to the trouble of doing all that math for those of us not on the metric system!!

P.S. Love that remark about free health care. Yeah, that'd be a good thing.

P.P.S. Fjords rock! Must be nice to live amongst all that beauty. (Hope we don't melt them any time soon.)
