i feel so guiltyyyy.

and everytime i buy gas i call my friend and bitch n whine. he says you have to have it so stop bitching. it's my right damn it.

You have very affordable transportation available as do places like Ny. California however is very sprawled out and hasnt a system worth a damn. By now the house next door is probably sold right?

Yes, but we don't have socialized medicine and such. At the end of the day its fairly relative. My particular career would pay evenly keeping me functioning evenly if I were in your ecconomy.

This is all fairly true, but you fail to acknowledge that outside of London we really don't have a good public transport network aside from the (very expensive) train network, so then yes, petrol does become a REAL issue.

Around the $1.50 a litre ....it cost me $90 to fill it up the other day and that will only last about 3 days

Spookymuffin said:

Yep, I recollect that you are right!

End of the day though, I think our two straw empires are about neck n neck in all things!

$3.75




My husband and I are looking for a lil' car right now. . .

I just had my prescription sent to the Giant Eagle pharmacy (its a grocery store chain), and got a $1 off a gallon with their Fuel Perks program. Normally it's 10 cents off for every $50 you spend there, I don't know what the hell the cashier did, but I hope they continue to do this! LOL Apparently, you can earn them from prescriptions as well.

it's costing me AUS$80 to fill up my 95 camry

Too damn much.

I try to cut back on running errands and making casual outings, but the daily work commute is what kills me.

I just put gas in my car and it's 3.99 for regular now !!!

Here in Michigan gas hit an all-time high of $3.89 per gallon (unleaded) last week. But now its dropped down to $3.75. 14 cents cheaper, but still... Cant believe how gas prices have shot up so high in just a relatively short amount of time. It was only 10 years ago that we were paying about $1.60 per gallon!

gas prices are hitting 4.00 and up this morning here in santa barbara

I have to pay £50.00 sterling to fill up my car.

I saw 1.29 a litre today that is $9.80 a US gallon

I just drove by the gas station on my way back home and regular is at $4.05 This scares me 'cause next semester, my commute is gonna be much longer to get to school. Right now, it's a 40 minute commute and it will be a 2 hour commute starting in August. I don't even know if I'll be able to afford it. This sucks so much. I don't know what I'm gonna do

Didn't check today. But last time was $3.99, 10.002 gals. at $40 so that 9/10th is clencher. When I first bought my car it cost about $28 to fill the tank, now it's $55 at every 5 to 6 days with no end in sight. This is sincerely cutting into my budget.

Currently we're lookin' at $3.77 up to $4.10 per gallon here in the Bay Area, CA.

My van gets 13mpg and costs a little over $110 to fill it. This lasts about a two weeks now because I've cut down on my deliveries.

Found these pointers...

OaklandGasPrices.com Top Ten Fuel Saving Tips
1 Avoid High Speeds As your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph (100 km/h) vs 75 mph (120 km/h) will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%.
2 Do Not Accelerate or Brake Hard By anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%.
3 Keep Tires Properly Inflated Keep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%.
4 Use A/C Sparingly When the air conditioner is on it puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used (by about 20%). The defrost position on most vehicles also uses the air conditioner.
5 Keep Windows Closed Windows open, especially at highway speeds, increase drag and result in decreased fuel economy of up to 10%.
6 Service Vehicle Regularly Proper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels.
7 Use Cruise Control Maintaining a constant speed over long distances often saves gas.
8 Avoid Heavy Loads Remove the sand bags from your trunk in the spring and pack lightly for long trips.
9 Avoid Long Idles If you anticipate being stopped for more than 1 minute, shut off the car. Restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle for this time.
10 Purchase a Fuel Efficient Vehicle When buying a new vehicle examine the vehicle's rated fuel efficiency. Usually choosing a small vehicle with a manual transmission will provide you with great fuel economy.


I also found this interesting, in my second home of Cologne, Germany, one liter of regular goes for 1.49 Euros. Approx 4 liters = 1 Gallon so with the dollar adjusted they are looking at $9.23 per gallon. Must be nice to have a great rail system. I think that's what I miss most about traveling in Germany, the trains...

I am going start riding my bike to work!

JessieJ said:

I am sorry to hear that Jess I hate how much this affects all of us, I now make a whole plan/route during errand time, so I am not driving around aimlessly. My drive to work is only 20 minutes, but hauling three girls to multiple events, is too much.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

Thanks... I'll figure something out



I can't even imagine driving around kids to all the places they have to go to. I just have to worry about myself I think that this will definitely change the way that people do things. I've already started using my bike more, as to not use my car as much. Of course I can't use it for long trips, but it works for getting around town

yesterday gas was 3.56...today its 3.65

$100 to fill up today ..that's it ...I need a mini ()@*#(@&#^@($*&^@$%
