What are gas prices where you're at?

[KEmperor]

It's about $3.25 for regular right now.  I heard that the price of oil jumped on Friday though, so I'm expecting it to go up.  I topped off my tank yesterday for that reason.

Unfortunately its about 70 miles round trip to work, but I get about 30 MPG so it's not that bad.

Another good thing about you taking the night shift you can at least get good gas mileage, going 15 mph on the LIE at 8:30 Am or 6:00 PM wouldn't be good for gas mileage.

Its all about RPMs. Ugh...I'm way too heavy on the gas in town. So many stop and gos.

True, although efficiency tends to drop off over 60mph, and with the traffic so light I'm often tempted to start speeding heavily when I'm heading home at 1am and the traffic is light.  Often I find myself approaching 80 when I look down at the speedometer and I have to ease off the gas.  I'm trying to do no more than low 70s, but you don't even notice when there's no one in front of you.  I've tried turning on the cruise, but the traffic is just heavy enough that it's not really feasible.

You sure 60mph?

I mean, if I do 70, my car only does about 2000 rpms in overdrive...which means i get about 28-32mph hwy...and its a v6

Well of course it's different for each car, but everything I've read about gas mileage always says that gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.

True when i use to work for a mortgage company (which was in Babylon) I generally went in around 11:00 or so.  The traffic was generally pretty light and going east on sunrishe Highway, i would reach 80mph + without realizing it, especially once Sunrise opens up into more of a real Highway once you get east of 109.

About $2.85/gallon. We're always well below the national average.

I guess I was a little too smug because the price just shot over three dollars. This blows!

[Ban my account ffs!]

Was $3.12, then $3.15, then $3.19, and now yesterday it jumped to $3.33

Recession, here we come!!!

I called that one in October 06.

I don't Know and as I don't have a car or a driver's license I don't really care - but I can assure you the price of petrol is much higher over here than in the United States.

And of course, again, it doesn't matter as much to you Euros is your countries are smaller and you drive a LOT less then we do. The sheer size of our states, let alone our nation is so large that driving is pretty much mandatory to survive/make a living the only way to really save on fuel by using public transport is to live in a major city. So really, when it comes down to it, I'd think comparing Europe to the USA in gas usage/driving needs is like comparing apples to oranges.

Just because the country is large doesn't mean people can't live in concentrated urbanizations.  The reason for US fuel wastage is bad public policy (or rather public policy that prioritizes other values than economic efficiency), not the physical size of the country.

Not everyone in the US can/wants to live in an urban area. I doubt many Euros either here on this board on in general drive 15+ miles to work, one way, on a daily basis.

States, the point is there is nothing about the US that makes living absurdly far away from everything inevitable.  Most European countries are made up of mostly empty space, just like the Bad Place.   However public policy in the US has made it very difficult to live in urban areas, creating a major economic problem.

4.80$ yesterday (Diesel)

Gas is about $3.50 a gallon here.

There is evidence that oil has already peaked.

Maybe someone who cared about finding new energy sources should have been elected President, instead of electing a ticket of 2 Texas oil men?

[opebo]

jfern, I fear the brash confidence most people have that 'alternative fuels' are really available and capable of sustaining the present standard of living is unwarranted and excessively optimistic. 

[Joe Biden 2020]

Gas prices dropped a whoppin 2 cents overnight.  They were at $3.32, now they're at $3.30.  Not a big change, but a step in the right direction.

[Verily]

NJ is, as of today, the only state with gas prices below $3.00/gal. (New Hampshire went over $3.00/gal today.) My closest gas station is currently at $2.90/gal for regular.

I heard on the Weather Channel this morning that South Carolina is also under $3.00, even closer to $2.70.

New Jersey's at $2.934/gal. South Carolina is exactly at $3.000/gal.

EDIT: While I was posting that, South Carolina dropped to $2.996/gal, which is still essentially $3.00/gal but technically below it.

The newspaper said we had the lowest in the nation. It's 2.90 where i live.

Yeah, but you still can't pump it yourself. Suckers!

The gas price in the Netherlands is nearly 8$ the gallon now ...

[??????????]

And the average Dutch person drives how many miles in a week? We have states the size of countries here and some people drive them on a bi-weekly basis. Can Euros say the same? I think not.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Though Massachusetts has a terrible reputation for high taxes, I've never actually found that reputation justified.  We have one of the lowest sales tax rates at 5%, and some of the lowest gasoline taxes in the country: the last time I filled up, it was at $2.959 a gallon.

[Bacon King]

The cheapest station has it at $2.86. Most are at $2.99.

[MODU]

After jumping up to $3.07, the gas is back down to $2.93.  Still higher than the $1.97 earlier this year though.

[Joe Biden 2020]

We've come down from $3.32 to around $2.92

[muon2]

In central IL gas was down as low as $3.03 today. However, it was $3.54 in the Chicago 'burbs.
