Gas Prices

Postby ptyme on Tue Mar 11, 2003 7:50 pm

After watching the gas prices skyrocket up $.25 in 10 days last month at my local gas station. ($.05 every 2 days) :no I noticed that they seem to have levelled off for now. I was just wondering what everyone else is paying for their gas nowadays. I pay $1.90/gallon for 89 proof. And it costs around $30 to fill up my Explorer Sport (17.5 gallons). Yes I go to fumes 'til I fill it. :lalala

I just put gas in today ($20.00) and I have no idea how much it was, just asked for that amount. I usually try to keep it above a 1/4 tank because one of my good friends keeps warning I'll damage the fuel pump if I don't.

Guess I'm not much help :hmmm:

I filled up today for $1.55 a gallon. This area seems to have some of the lowest prices around for some reason. Why I don't know. That was at an Amoco station. Some of the off-the-wall brands are a little cheaper.

JoJo, I'm not sure I want to try. LOL. I was thinking that a liter is approx 3.78 gallons, which would put it at 2.87 a gallon. I think there are US gallons and UK gallons and I have no clue as to the difference. I actually am not sure how much a liter is. We're different here, LOL, we use ounces, pints, gallons, inches, feet, and yards.

It is horrible. I also fueled up today... $1.58 a gallon for lowest grade. I was buying the middle grade but stopped due to the hike in price.

It's rediculus... so much for "country drives" on time off. Uggh...

Paying 1.47 at Sam's here in Southeast Louisiana. Costs me about $40 to fill up my 15 passenger van! It brings tears to my eyes. LOL :cry:
