Gasoline Prices....

[Brendabutt]

We just made a trip to Branson, Missouri and bought gas for $1.62, but 35 miles south of there it is $1.75.

Down to $1.82 today.
With Meijer register coupon it was $1.79...better, but STILL.....

We went down to $1.69 briefly and then went back to $1.72

I give up trying to figure it out any more. Wednesday when I got it the price was $1.899 and as I drove by today it was $1.819.

It's still $1.65 and $1.63 at the stations I go to here, hasn't budged in weeks. It's a little higher at the Mobil station, and I don't even bother looking at the Exxon station by the highway.

Early this morning:
Meijer's gas station $1.93 (reg. unleaded)
I'm so glad I filled up a several of days ago @ $1.79 a gallon, that seems like a bargain now.

Yesterday when I left for the grocery store, gas was $1.71. When I came home, $1.77.

We are hovering around $1.65 but a local station gives away free gas on Friday mornings at various locations and they show who has the cheapest gas. Last week, a BJ's near us had gas for $1.56!!

Remember just a couple of years ago- it was less than 90 cents a gallon!

I am so mad!!!! Gas has gone up to $2.39 a gallon. We use the cheapest which is at $2.19 a gallon. I am very upset!!!!!!! I have lots to say on this subject, but I don't want it to get sent to the contriversial forum.

I've always heard that gas in European countries and Asian countries is MUCH more expensive than hear...anyone know about that?

If so...how do they manage?? Maybe we should learn from them LOL.

These gas prices really cut down on my geocaching....lol

I seriously don't know what we are going to do when gas gets to $2+ per gallon this summer.

It is up to $1.95 here in MN. I'm gonna have to start walking to work pretty soon at these prices. It's 18 miles so it should only take me a few (4+) hours each way.

Aaarrrggghh, now today it's up to $1.81. That's a ten cent increase in a week. I live out in the country where gas is generally cheaper. Most people (DH included) commute at least an hour one way. At this rate I may have to cut out my day trips and *gasp* stay home and keep the house clean or something. Oh the horror!

$1.99 at Costco today
10 days ago it was $1.94

Better public transportation, so people don't have to use their cars so much?

Fewer people living "out in the country", so they're closer to schools, shopping, work, etc?

People living closer to where they work, so no long commutes?
