Gas

Definitely!! My dh works for a non-profit organization with a very modest salary. We live frugally so that I can be home with the kids. But, dh covers 4 counties and drives all day every day. The last time mileage was adjusted for him was when gas was $1.50/gal. His travel allowance doesn't cover his expenses anymore. Because of the gas price increase, groceries have gone up, too. I have noticed that most things in our grocery stores have gone up .20 to .40 since fall. It hurts us all around.

 

I got it for $2.68 at Walmart just now. I might have gotten another trip out of what I had in the car but didn't want to chance it being higher when I needed it.

 

I got gas yesterday in the next large town, 3.07 for plus unleaded. The same type of gas station- Shell I think- wanted 3.05 a gallon. Why the 2 cent difference? Then up in the next town, which is in PA, plus unleaded is 2.99 per gallon plus unleaded. I hate the pricing games they play.

 

$2.99 in Tucson.

But it really effects sales in the stores too and even E-bay.

 

$3.11 without discount from Smith's grocery store.
$2.96-$3.06 with either 15, 10 or 5 cent discount (depends on your grocery bill total , $30+ -5 cent discount , $50+ -10 cent discount , $60+ 15 cet discount PER gallon).
Thats in Las Vegas.

 

I think gas is starting to go up here every day! It just went up one penny, what's with that!

 

WOO-HOO!! I just paid $2.87/gal. I feel like I got a bargain.

 

Yeah, that's practically clearance price!

 

Looks like I need to move to N or S Carolina! Some places here it's over $3.50 now! :cry:

 

YIKES!!! Yeah-come on and move. Although I don't have any views like you have

 

I just saw gas for $3.01...that is down...and $2.99. We also have that E85??? I that what it is called...the corn mix stuff...geesh forgive my brain! Anyway that was $2.91. I have to get gas but that station that has that is in the other direction...not sure if 8cents is worth it.

 

wow we are at 3.14 right now. I am going to park my car and walk

 

Heard today it is going up more later this week.

NOOOOOOO!!! Yikes, ours is edging up closer to $4.00 That's so outrageous!

 

yea, dh said he heard it would 4.00 a gallon by 4th of July. I wonder if it will stop there.

Look at this "Temperature Map".

It shows the price of gas as though it were a temperature. The DARK RED spot is where gas is the highest/ It is in California. Anyone live near there?

It is north of Fresno and East South East of San Francisco. Basicly the Merced, Yosemite Area, I think?

 

Thanks Jen, That map is very interesting!

Why is it that the west coast is highest? Cuz we're further away from the source?

 

They tax it higher.
(I believe that is the case)

 

Oh, okay, I know WA state does, just didn't know the whole west coast did! Maybe I should move back east somewhere!
