What are gas prices in your area?

[caryrae]

Just wondering what people are paying for gas these days. In our area unleaded gas went from $3.19 to $3.49/gallon few places at $3.59. We are east of the Twin Cities.

[Melanie]

We are right around $3.30 here in the Tampa area. :jaw:

[MNNHFLTX]

$3.06 (regular unleaded) this morning at the gas station we use in NW Houston.

[RedSoxFan]

It's about $3.40/gallon in Central NY.
I miss my Suburban --- but not the cost of filling it up!!

[Disney4us2]

In my area of Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley ), it is between $ 3.67 & 3.77

[Mickey'sGirl]

About $4.61/gallon in the Greater Toronto Area. They sell it to us in litres so we don't notice it as much (at $1.22/litre).

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

I saw 3.35 this morning in south Mississippi

[lettripp]

Average 3.69 in Fairfield County, CT

[Carol]

$3.69 here in my little corner of New York. :shake:

[goofyfan4466]

$ 3.25 here in levittown, pa. southeast pa. we are just northeast of philly.

[ChipDale2708]

$3.45 northwest of Hartford, but $3.33 just over the line in MA.

[NewDVCowner]

Thirty miles east of San Francisco we're at $3.75 as of this morning.

[buzznwoodysmom]

Here in Louisiana it was $3.08 on Monday, then today it was $3.15! We are leaving for WDW next Wednesday and are driving. Gas is going to cost a lot more than we were thinking.

Found the gas thread above from a few years ago when prices were thought to be crazy, looking back then and now it's something how much higher it is now then it was back then when it was on the News everyday. Most where under $3/gallon and now everyone seems to be above that. The highest price I had posted back then was $3.15 and now it's $.35-$.45 higher and will most luckly go up more.

[kakn7294]

We went from $3.19 to $3.35 in 2 days here 45 min NW of Pittsburgh.

[Daisy'sMom]

Here we go again. The oil companies must not be giving their big guys the bonuses they require.:thedolls:

[rmdsmomluvup]

It went from 3.28 (at the "cheap") station on Wednesday to 3.41 today,,I've seen it as high as 3.56/gallon unleaded in WNY. The oil companies are blaming it on the "civil unrest" in Libya, however I think I heard we get less than 10% of our oil from there:shake:

[Itchy]

We are at 3.19 a gal in the St Louis area.

I hope it goes down for my trip the end of April, but probably not.

Where are the politicians when we need them?

Happy motoring.:blush:

[sorcerer fan]

southeast wisconsin went from 3.17 to 3.35 in one day!

[DisneyDog]

The station that was $3.09 two days ago is now $3.27. That is in Eagleville, PA about 15 miles west of Philly (part of Valley Forge National Park is in my township.)

[AnnaMom]

$3.39 here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

[Ed]

We found regular last night at $3.28, while most other stations in the same part of Orlando were at about $3.39. Notice I said "were" - - chances are it's higher this morning.

My truck uses diesel - - right now, it's averaging $ 3.60. :spend: Fortunately, I get about 24 mpg.

[disneymom15]

Last night gas prices were $3.24 in my area.

[princessjojo]

Yesterday morning when I left home gas at the station just up the street from my home was $3.09. When I returned home about 4 hrs later it was $3.39. Ridiculous, but I'm now really glad I work 3 miles from my home.

[forever a child]

Filled up my tank on Monday Feb 21st at $3.05/gal. But by tues the 22nd it went up to $3.29 a gal! Later this week it "dropped" down to $3.25. I think that is the lowest I have seen. Hoping it drops down again before my next need for a fill up. I was lucky this one time!:(

[Ian]

$3.27 a gallon here now for regular. Unfortunately, my car needs premium and that's running me $3.50 a gallon.

Which is just fabulous when you consider that my round trip commute to work each day is 80 miles. :crying:

[brownie]

Regular was $3.259 when I filled our vehicles up on Thursday. I noticed it was up to $3.399 this afternoon. HLN was reporting yesterday that we could see prices get up to $5 a gallon this summer.

[Tick-Tock]

Wow, you guys are making me feel good about our prices. 3.15 a gallon (up from 2.93 earlier this week) just north of Denver.

[kaylamag]

It is $3.35 in Lewistown PA. It went from $3.19 to $3.35 last week.

[badkitty]

Just paid $3.57 at Safeway. Chevron across the street wanted $3.75. This is for REGULAR! Insane.

[garymacd]

The oil companies are blaming it on the "civil unrest" in Libya, however I think I heard we get less than 10% of our oil from there:shake:

Don't believe it!

The oil speculators are getting rich on this one!

Did I just sound like a conspiracy theorist?

[joonyer]

We (Americans) are addicted to our cars and cheap gasoline. And even at 3.50 per gallon, gas is still cheap compared to most every other place in the world. That doesn't mean I like to pay that much though. When I was a teenager, we had gas price war for a few months in our town/county. The lowest I ever paid was 19.9 cents per gallon. This was in the 1970's believe it or not. It wasn't that cheap for long though. My best friend had a VW Beetle and we could cruise all night on pocket change.

[princessgirls]

Gas in my town in Northern NJ went from $2.99 Thursday morning to $3.15 by Saturday for Unleaded, paying cash, which is how I fill up.

Still cheaper than most places in the United States so for that I am grateful. This is going to have an effect on the economy. The average family will have to cut out other things to allow for the extra money being spent at the pump.

We saw this happen in 2008. All while the oil companies had reported "record profits".

It is a vicious wheel. Hope it just doesn't keep rising!

Guys, there's been a few posts here that are straying off topic a bit. The question is, "What are gas prices in your area?" not "Why is gas so expensive?" or "Who's getting rich off of gas prices?"

Keep the politics and the opinions out of it and stay focused on the thread topic, please.

[Figaro]

The Triad area of North Carolina is at about $3.39...It's gone up over 15 cents in the past week or soo...

[RedSoxFan]

Gas in Central NY is now $3.63. OUCH!!

[princessgirls]

Holding steady here in NJ at $3.15 (at my favorite Delta Gas Station) for Unleaded!!!

2 Full days now!!!!!

It's more at other stations in my area, I just happen to know where the CHEAPEST GAS IS!!!!!

Ya know...why pay more than you have to, and I don't even have to go out of my way!!!

Julie:mickey:

[IloveJack]

The weekend before last, gas was $3.05 at our cheap station. I heard about the increase and went to fill up last Monday. It was already to $3.14. Then, by this weekend, it was $3.29. Crazy!
If it's going to $5-7.50, like I've read, we won't be vacationing, or doing much of anything extra this summer. We won't be able to afford the drive to work, much less the drive to the beach!

[NewDVCowner]

It jumped to $3.79 over the weekend here in the San Francisco area. This summer is going to be brutal.

[Ian]

If it's going to $5-7.50, like I've read, we won't be vacationing, or doing much of anything extra this summer. We won't be able to afford the drive to work, much less the drive to the beach!Uh yeah ... same here. $7.50 per gallon gas would pretty much shut us down!

[princessjojo]

We have two big vacations planned this summer--one to WDW and one to Utah/Wyoming/Montana, both of which our airline tickets have already been purchased. Good thing for me...I think...
But we do like to go to the beach for several mini-vacations during the summer and if fuel prices do indeed rise as have mentioned, then we may make it only one, maybe two trips this summer to the beach...boo hoo for me :humph::sob::pout:

[caryrae]

Gas went up to $3.54 today here up from $3.49.

[laprana]

Gas is sitting at $3.49 per gallon here in southern Illinois. :eyes: About 10 minutes across the river in Missouri, though, it's somewhere around 22 cents cheaper, so I bet you can guess where I get my gas!!

[Disney4us2]

Yesterday I paid $3.79. At a station closer to me they were at $3.88:ill:

[Ramblingman]

Gulf Coast of Alabama here, and it was $3.24 yesterday at the cheapest place, but this morning they went up to $3.39.

[princessjojo]

:ack: I just stopped for gas and where I usually fill up at gas was $3.59 and I just couldn't do it. I still had some in the tank. So I did what I was out to do for the morning and low and behold I found a station still selling at $3.49 so I made a quick pitstop. How depressing is it that I was excited. My bicycle is looking better and better.

[MarkC]

Lincoln, Nebraska: one place was still at $3.39 on the way to work this morning, but I bet by the time I go home they will be at $3.54 or $3.59 like everywhere else. Ouch.

[Ian]

This is getting ridiculous ... I posted the other day that regular was $3.30 a gallon and premium (which is what I have to use) was $3.50.

Well now regular is $3.59 and premium is up to $3.79! :eek:

If this keeps up I seriously may have to consider working from home an extra day a week. I can't keep filling my car at almost $4 a gallon!

[PirateLover]

$3.20 last night at Wawa in South Jersey. Was driving home from my parents and on their corner in South Philly, it was $3.50.

[caryrae]

Man, just saw on the News 4.89/gal for unleaded in places in California. Can't imagine how these gas prices will keep affecting prices of other things. Heard on local news a couple days ago airfare went up 6 times already this year.

[caryrae]

We are now at $3.609/gal.

[citizensnoopy]

Over $4.00/gallon for regular. I spend a lot of money in gas to see :mickey: !

[Hammer]

Ian, I hope you are filling up by your work in NJ instead of PA. When I had to go to our suburban PA test facility (out by Downingtown/Exton) gas was at least .20 more a gallon and you have to pump your own gas!

(For those that do not know, NJ does not allow self-serve).

[Ed]

Filled my diesel pickup truck yesterday. $3.799/gallon. Total = $114.00. :mad:

[Mickey'sGirl]

We're hovering at around $4.68 per gallon right now. It is what it is, and I can't do anything about it, except use less. It's still not as bad as it was a couple of years ago (says she trying to find a bright side). :blush:

[Ian]

Ian, I hope you are filling up by your work in NJ instead of PA. When I had to go to our suburban PA test facility (out by Downingtown/Exton) gas was at least .20 more a gallon and you have to pump your own gas!Don't really care about pumping my own gas (I much prefer it, in fact), but yeah it is much cheaper out here.

I try and fill up in Jersey whenever possible.

[Hammer]

Don't really care about pumping my own gas (I much prefer it, in fact), but yeah it is much cheaper out here.

I try and fill up in Jersey whenever possible.

I agree; I have no problem pumping my own gas and do it when I travel. I just think it is crazy to pay almost 20 cents more per gallon to do it yourself.

Gas was $3.29 when I got gas on Friday evening.

[BraddyB]

Wished someone would pump my gas for less money !!!! It was 3.49 in Pittsburgh yesterday, who knows what it will be today

[BraddyB]

3.59 today...that didnt take long :(

[NewDVCowner]

I put gas in my car the other day and it was $3.96 a gallon - for the cheap stuff. I've seen (cheap stuff) at $3.99 in the last few days. I imagine that this weekend it will top $4 a gallon.

I'm driving down to LA at the end of next month. That's going to be an expensive trip. :shake:

[slegrant]

Ian I am with you I Drive 75 miles round trip each day and I too need premium gas for my car. Here in Austin TX I am seeing 3.49 for regular to 3.89 for premium. What happened to .99 a gallon:mickey:

[BraddyB]

What happened to .99 a gallon:mickey:


I sure miss those days. Its scary when $2 isnt looking too bad :(

[brivers222]

was 3.50 in the am and then 4 hours later it was 3.72
(http://www.gasbuddy.com)

[caryrae]

It's going up here, one station went up .20 cents to $3.799/gal today while the others are still at $3.599 but should soon follow and go up too. I believe this is the highest it has ever been in my area.

[brivers222]

3.89 for regular here today. I am expecting breaking $4 by wednesday

I am very happy I bought my 40+ mpg Honda FIT last year.. it was looking to have prices go back down for a bit, but right now i am paying about $0.09 a gallon... which is a tolerable still.

[badkitty]

We are now over $4/gal and that is at the cheap place. Yikes!

[TheMartellFamily]

North Suburbs of Chicago was 3.95 just a few minutes ago when I passed the gas stations

[garymacd]

It just went up here two days ago to $1.29.4 per litre. That's about $4.92 for a US gallon!

Can't wait for our drive down to WDW at the end of May so we can get some cheap gas!

[DizNee143]

yesterday it was 3.47..
ugh..

Will it ever go down again?

[tinkwest]

In San Diego - Near my home $3.99 a gallon. Near my work $3.93.

Those are the regular prices at ARCO. If the lines at the pumps are too long and you choose to go to a nearby Shell (for example) you'll pay about eight to fourteen cents more for the regular grade.

[caryrae]

Now up to $3.89 here. This is way past ridiculous.

[2Epcot]

If I go to Costco I can get gas for under $4, if not I've paid as much as $4.19.

[Ed]

$3.95 yesterday for diesel. :(

I see a motorcycle in my future.

[BrerGnat]

$4.19 this morning at the station across from my home.

Glad I don't do a lot of driving!

[Ilovemesomedisneymom]

Don't take a trip to Indiana. It was $3.89 yesterday......

:mad:

[brivers222]

Credit: 4.19
Cash: 4.09
Diesel: $4.59

life is good!

I remember when $1.00 was an outrage. ;)

[BrerGnat]

I just paid $4.07 this morning....at COSTCO!!!!

[NewDVCowner]

All for the regular unleaded, the cheapest I'm seeing right now is $4.09, the most expensive is $4.35.

[KylesMom]

Saw $4.09 on lunch today in the Western Burbs of Chicago . . . for the "cheap" place.

[Ilovemesomedisneymom]

$3.98 yesterday, so I decide to drive in town and found it for $3.68 so in line I waited and filled up. :mickey:

[MushuGrl]

IT WENT DOWN THREE CENTS HERE!

CONFETTI!!!

Now it's ONLY $3.65. :mad:

[caryrae]

Yeah I would never had thought it would have cost me $50 to fill up my little Ford Ranger, and it wasn't even totally empty either.

[caryrae]

Just in time for the Holiday weekend, gas went up .13 cents from $3.839 to $3.959 for reg unleaded.

[TheVBs]

Got gas a couple days ago and it was 3.99 for regular.

[Ian]

I'm at like $4.19 for premium now. I've actually backed down a grade to like the "Plus" stuff, which is $4.09.

I've started working from home an extra day a week to save that driving ... it's helping to balance things out a bit for us.

[magicofdisney]

In the heart of N. Central FL it's $3.87 (low grade) right down from my house.

[NotaGeek]

I am grateful EVERY DAY that last August I got rid of my SUV and I use public transportation for pretty much all my getting around Seattle -- and when I need a car I have a Zipcar membership -- Seattle has awesome public transport and really promotes itself as a green city!

[Disney-4-Me]

In our area the gas prices are fluctuating so often we really have to pay attention. There is a dime difference from one station to the next. And if we drive across the river into MO it can be a quarter less per gallon. I just paid $3.99 today.

[Jim&AngieMarriner]

I just dont understand what they use to justify the prices. Oh i know its taxes and delivery and other things but when it jumps 30 cents over night? Give me a break. Thats just absurd.

We hit $4.17 today. Was $3.85 yesterday

[forever a child]

$3.99 today in Louisville, KY for regular (low grade). Thankful for my little 30-34 mpg 1995 Toyota Corolla. I laugh every time I see those big suv's at the pump...guess the have more expendable income than me! :rolleyes:

[KylesMom]

$4.29 for regular unleaded in far west DuPage County, a western suburb of Chicago . . . :(

[joonyer]

It's been holding around $3.67 in this area (Middle-Georgia) for the last couple of weeks. It will probably creep higher as summer approaches.

[Jeri Lynn]

Central MA ~ cheapest I've seen $3.83, most expensive $3.91

[barnaby]

Southern NJ, Millville area - $3.75/gallon

[tinkwest]

$4.09 at ARCOs near home & work (San Diego county). Has been steady for about a week now. Add to that a forty-five cent fee each time you use your card at the pump.

[Dopey's Girl]

$3.95 at the BP here in St Paul...that's going to hurt this summer with all the trips to the cabin.

[jennbunn]

just hit 3.99 last night when I was going home from work in minneapolis : (

[DizneyRox]

The cheap stuff is now over $4.00 for the cash price. Over $4.20 for credit.

[TheVBs]

$4.15 for regular a few days ago here.

[Pop Centurion]

Today at my local station here in South Jersey regular was $3.79 & premium was $3.99.

[brivers222]

Just paid the low price of $4.35 a gallon....

i am starting to fill the pinch in my honda fit now... $36 to fill my car.... :mad:


We killed Osama after 9 years... now is it going to take another 9 years to kill the gas prices?

[Pop Centurion]

We killed Osama after 9 years... now is it going to take another 9 years to kill the gas prices?Funny thing is only a very small amount of our oil is imported from the middle east (I believe around 5%) We import most of our oil from Canada. So the wool is pulled over everyone's eyes when we're told the price of gas has risen due to middle east conflicts.

[DisneyMom12]

I just paid $4.29, and it made me sick. I used to be able to go almost a week with $20 worth, not anymore. I don't work, just drive to local stores, and play dates. I held out on e as long as I could hoping the prices would go down. Wishful thinking.

[barnaby]

Hello fellow South Jersyan!! :)

I have to do have to disagree a little.
Where oil is imported from has a minor impact on the cost of the barrell.
It has risen recently and in the recent past because it is a commodity and it is being used as investment globally, moreso now because of the weak US dollar. It is one of the better investments out there now because people and countries are still very oil dependent. And since it is based on the US dollar, when the dollar is weak, other countries can get more bang for their buck investment-wise.

Also, I think the Middle East conflicts do have some cause in the rising cost of oil. One of the factors in cost of oil is supply. OPEC nations involved in the conflict may have reduced supplies, and the cost will rise. And a nation like Canada, even though it is not OPEC, would follow the "market price" on a barrell of oil on its exports to the US, correct?

BTW, oil has fallen today around 5% on demand fears because it has had a marked impact in the US economic growth. This has happened in the past when it reaches a tipping point when the economy backslides because of the high cost at the pump. Only problem is - falling oil prices = a falling economy. It has to find some balance and in the past few years, it hasn't and the cost of oil has been all over.

[Mickey'sGirl]

I paid $1.39/litre yesterday, which works out to $5.26/US gallon, which because the Canadian dollar is trading higher than the US one, works out to $5.50 US per US gallon.

$4.35 doesn't sound so bad now, does it? ;)

[brivers222]

yes $4.35 does still sound bad ;) mainly because never venture to canada to have to worry about those prices. but for our area $4.35 is horrible.


gas prices were lower before they capped the Gulf...

[Bethis26fan]

3.71 here

[princessgirls]

Paid $3.79 for regular in Northern NJ this week.

$90/100 to fill up Suburban depending on when I stop to get, how close to empty I am. However, I am only getting gas every other week for this vehicle, and I really really try to be logistically mindful when running errands and going out.

$50 to fill up Camaro, which I drive on the weeks I don't have to take my carpool kids home from school.

The gas prices are hurting!
Julie:mickey:

[Mickey'sGirl]

I really really try to be logistically mindful when running errands and going out.
I think this is really the ONLY way to stay ahead with this crunch! :thumbsup: Carpooling, using transit, PLOTTING errands and walking/cycling when possible.

[NewDVCowner]

I paid $4.25 yesterday and it cost me $50 to fill up my Civic. I was listening to the radio this morning and there are conflicting predictions of what's coming up. Some people are saying that gas prices have peaked, others are saying that we'll see $6.00 a gallon by summer. :ill:

[joonyer]

E85 is selling for $3.35/gal in this area, but my cars won't run on it. Regular gas is still under $4.00/gal. here in Middle Ga, but not by much.

[barnaby]

I am in no way a oil price expert, and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night :D, but I think its peaked. The world economy, especially the US, cannot continue growth with high oil prices. It is probably the most direct drain on a person's spending. It may bounce back to what it was at $115/barrell but come summer time, I think it will wind back down.
Again, this is just my opinion (and wishful thinking), based on previous trends.

[Disney-4-Me]

Finally! I finally got lucky! Gas prices came down 24 cents a gallon overnight and I needed a fill up.

I drive a Camaro with a V8 so this is a big thing! The past two fill ups happened right after gas prices went up again.

[Jodi]

$4.19/gallon in Wisconsin...:(

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

The gas station in the town I work in just went from $3.95 to $3.91. Not a big drop but at least a start in the right direction. And this is usually one of the cheapest places.

Price Chopper give .10 off for every $50 you spend there. So I find myself doing almost all my shopping there now.

When I bought my car 10 years ago, it cost about $10-12 to fill it. Now it's around $35.00!

I really hope it continues to go down or we might not be doing as many day trips this summer.

[Martino]

I paid $1.39/litre yesterday, which works out to $5.26/US gallon, which because the Canadian dollar is trading higher than the US one, works out to $5.50 US per US gallon.

$4.35 doesn't sound so bad now, does it? ;)

Here in the UK gas costs £1.42 per litre (£6.46 per Gallon), at todays exchange rate this would cost 10 USD per gallon :rant: :mad:

IT JUST COST ME IN USD EQUIVALENT - $155 TO FILL MY CAR!

Everyone is finding it difficult, and walking as much as possible instead.

[Tink#64]

Checking out this thread as we are driving back to the World in 2 weeks, and wondering what the prices are outside of KY. I paid $3.95 a gallon this morning. It's usually our experience that as soon as we are South of Louisville, the prices drop a little, anything less would be welcome! :thumbsup:

[Bethis26fan]

3.49 here in SC about 30 miles south of Charlotte NC.

[princessjojo]

I have generally purchased gas at Costco when I was in that general area. It's usually cheaper by about 10 cents but the other day we stopped and it was $3.65. When we returned home, the small independent station near my home was $3.51, and it's still coming down. :number1: We also though have a new competitor coming to town, big competitor, so that probably has a lot to do with it as well. Who know, I don't really care, it's cheaper...

[caryrae]

Reviving an old thread because here gas today went from $3.83 a gallon to $4.19. Insane

[BriarRose0708]

It was $3.65 this morning in central NY. I hope it doesn't go up more :mad:

[Bethis26fan]

3.09 here or it was at lunch time.

[NewDVCowner]

$4.01 when I filled up yesterday. I'll need to look to see if it's gone up.

[caryrae]

Gas prices here are the main news story because 2 refineries near Chicago were shut down for Mantainance which is why we shot up so much.

[caryrae]

Great went up another 10 cents, so in two days gas went up 46 cents to $4.29.

[Disney4us2]

I paid $4.07 at Mobile yesterday. The prices are around that and much higher.

[minnie04]

Here in Miami, I just paid $3.34 yesterday, but it ranges from $3.34 -3.59 depends where you gas up. Which should be regulated. On one corner its $3.34 and a few blocks down it could be as high as $3.59-3.69 sometimes higher than that. In Orlando the best example is the Hess by DTD is always the cheapest we find in Disney, but if you head to the Outlets there is a Shell station that was charging $5.99 to for unleaded. Something needs to be done about that :thedolls: OH and I hate those stations that say “cash only “ price in really tiny tiny letters..

[PopPhan]

$3.29 for Regular (87 octane) here....Up 4 cents over the past week. It was dropping pretty steadily for a while, but now seems to have stabilized and may be reversing the trend.

[caryrae]

It's just pathetic that our prices had to jump 46 cents because 2 refineries shut down for maintenance and they say the price will be this high until July. We easily broke our record high which was like $3.99. Makes it tough with all the summer activities coming like going to cabins and boating.

[Elias1901]

122.9 here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. :sick:

[tinkwest]

Most recent fill-up (last week) $3.85 a gallon. Have noticed most stations this week are running around $3.95.

[caryrae]

Come on this is ridiculous, we went up yet another dime, now at $4.39 a gallon. What do they expect people to do? It's could cost me up to $65 to fill my little Ford Ranger.

I'm here in MN with ya, can't believe that it really wasn't all that long ago we were teetering on the $2.99 threshhold and now are $4.39. Ridiculous.

On a related note, when I bought my first truck, like yours, a Ford Ranger, I filled it for $17! I think it was '99 or 2000 and gas was $1 a gallon. I filled my Ford F150 yesterday and it was $85 and that wasn't even a full tank, more like 3/4.

I understand the supply and demand thing because 3 refineries are down but what does raising gas prices have to do with it, what does raising prices do?

[VWL Mom]

Paid $3.799 in NJ on Thursday and $3.599 in NH on Saturday for mid-grade. Stations near me are back to cash/credit pricing which I hate.

$3.16 a gallon here in east TN.

$4.12 at lunchtime today in Aurora, IL. This is absolutely sad. Ever since the flood hit last month, our gas prices have skyrocketed. :(

Up a bit now to $3.599

$3.419 here in my part of NJ when I filled this week
Which has been about the average over the past 12 months. Highest it got was the mid $3.60s and it got below $3.20 for about a week at the end of April.
