just wondering about everyones elses pirces on gas are cause our gas prices are going up and up and i dont know when they will stop our prices have gone up 30 cents in the last 4 weeks now its $2.85 a gallon and its suppose to go up more and more as time goes on just wondering what everyone elses prices are? Also do any of you think hat this is going to make our nitro gas prices go up also?
 
$2.89 yesterday. Oil is at $72 a barrel, expected to hit $100 this summer, so from what I read, $5 a gallon at the pump isn't an unreal number to expect in the not so distant future.
 
$3.07...I am not glad about beating you guys.
 
I paid $3.15 yesterday for 94. Sad part is my car doesn't run right on anything else.
 
2.94 here at the cheap place.
I'm glad I live 1.3 miles from work. Looks like its time to pump up the tires on the bicycle.
 
I saw a couple signs for 3.05 a gallon on the way to work. I might have to bear the long lines at Costco and save a couple bucks. They are usually 10-15 cents a gallon cheaper than the major pumps.

Nitro fuel is not GASOLINE. It's methanol (wood alcohol) with nitromethane and lubricant additives, so, no, the gas prices have no effect on nitro fuel. Haven't bought gas in a few days but yeah, it's above 2.60 here, probably in the 2.80's.
 
$2.80 here. I am fortunate like Fast Ed to only live about 3.5 miles from work so the prices have not hit me hard yet, but the fiance is spending $100 a week easy. Do you think gas prices will ever come down?

$2.95 here. it sucks for me in a 1985 4x4 suburban. my work is only 10 miles from my house, and that is all i use my truck for. otherwise i take the wifes car.
 
2.73/gal for the cheap stuff and I'm 59 miles from work (one way). If things dont change SOON I'm buying the cheapest 500cc motorcycle I can find and two wheeling it to work everyday.
 
I haven't really given it much notice here, but I think it's in the $2.90 range. I guess I'm thinking like a lot of others at this point. Ain't got much choice but to pay it. Even if it goes to $5 a gallon, still gotta have gas.

You are exactly right. We need it, they know it, so they will gouge us. If you want gas.... gotta pony up the dough.

$3.20 today

Holy poop!!! I was mad about $3.07 here in Daytona!! I bought a used (2001) Focus just so I could park my Hemi Ram with the 35 gallon tank... 10MPG is not a good thing at these prices...lol
 
$2.95 today here for ru, and a lot of the stations here now only have mid and super. There is also word around town here it will be going up another 20 cents a gallon tonight. It went up .15 cents overnight the day before yesterday, and another .5 last night. All while the oil companys are reporting record profits, it's total bullshit!!! To make it even worse, there is NO public transportation in the area I live, so driving is the only option.
 
Filled up last night for $35 @ $2.69 / gallon. When I left for work this morning I was very happy I decided to fill up because the same station was at $2.89!!
 
Yup cost me $43 to fill up at lunch today. I just filled up 4 days ago for $40.

The US has enjoyed very low gas prices for an extended period of time. I remember going to England 7-8 years ago and paying .70/liter STERLING. they are now hovering around .95/ltr. With the exchange rate, that is about $6 US per gallon!!!!! Now with everything going on in the Middle East they are gouging us big time!!! Say goodbye to all those nice big Hemi's and 8cyl your used to seeing. Say hello to the eco 4 banger again.
