What are you guys paying for gas these days?
 

Just filled up here in central NJ $2.40 a gallon for Mobil 93 octane premium.

What are the rest of you guys paying, and has it affected your lifestyle or driving habits? I know for me it has put the potential purchase of an suv on hold.

Take care,

George

I drove by the Shell gas station today in the 560SEL and saw premium(93) was at 2.67/ gallon. :pukeface:

Still.. not bad enough.

$2.53 here for premium. Hasn't really bothered me yet as I only put on about 8 to 10 K a year.

$2.49 for regular.

It hurts when the van takes 28 gallons. :eek:

I've actually slowed it to 52-54 mph on the freeways now.

The $hitboxes can go f____ themselves. :pukeface:

You are so lucky
 

I filled up today in Yorkshire England U.K and my W126 420SEL took £65.00 @85p per litre that will last about ten days of joyful motoring.

LA Premium $2.79
LA ULSD Diesel $2.69
Santa Monica Premium $2.84

OMFG, $115.00 to fill up a W126 :eek:

$4,140. per year on fuel !

I wonder what a UK M-100 owner's annual fuel bill is? I bet 4k would be cheap! :eek:

filled up the turbo diesel in south jersey on friday at $2.31/gal (almost crashed when i saw the $2.09 sign but that was for off-road diesel!). didn't check the gas prices but i know they're 20 cents/gal less than in Pa.

12 Jul 2005 - $2.70/gal for premium at the cheap places in San Jose. S420 takes 26 gallons.

$2.60/gal for Diesel. No idea why Diesel costs more than regular ($2.50/gal)here.

Sixto
95 S420
87 300SDL

$2.25/gal 92 octane. Chevron.

I just payed $2.59/gal for diesel, this is in San Jose CA.

2.45 Diesel

2.20 Regular

I'm feeling like a freaking genius getting an office in the neighborhood that I can walk to.

Well I moved from the 400E to the C36 twin turbo but it wasn't really motivated by gas prices just a fringe benefit. Actually with the 104 octane I'm probably worse off.

$2.24 diesel
$2.41 93 octane
$5.45 104 octane

I bought diesel at $1.99 last week. I think that gasoline stuff is around $2.25.

i filled up on friday for 2.04, this weekend it was 2.38+ and today it's 10-15 cents less. black expo is in full swing and the stock cars are testing though.. it's been like this all summer.. different day, different price and most at least a 10c swing... 20c lately

It's around 2.25 and fluctuating wildly here. Filling up is like playing the stock market. Buy Low!

How can gas station owners justify selling their gas at all of these different prices when they pay one price PER tanker they get.

They get 10000 gallons for $X per gallon

And can charge anywhere from $A-$Z for it?

Shouldn't they have to sell it for $X+markup until that tanker is gone?

Atlanta
 

$2.19- $2.25 per gal for 87.... Georgia used to be cheaper than most other states, but something has changed in the last year or 2. I actually see prices go down when I cross in to SC and TN... bummer.

yes they can..Emily is on deck next..

Right on. I must be the only guy in town with, uh, let's see... 5 vehicles, none of which I drive to work. The ins. co must think I'm nuts... they never believe me when I report all 5 are for pleasure use only. I have about a mile (each way) walk to work; that's the most peaceful, relaxing portion of my day.

Accordingly, I haven't bought gas in a couple of weeks. I think it's at around $2.19 for the cheap stuff here in central IL, though.

Sigh... I miss my Vespa...

diesel:$2.27
unleaded:$2.29
all at Flying J here in Northern Ky. (This is one of the cheapest stations around)

East Orlando (UCF Area), Floirda:

Reg. Unl. - $2.259
Mid Grade - $2.359
Premium - $2.439
Diesel - $2.399

oh cool, looks like you just need to type in the city or state in front of gasprices and you can view many others... :bulb:

If you just go to http://www.gasbuddy.com you can get pretty much any major metro area. I use them all the time and go straight to the gas stations with the lowest prices listed.

even better. kool. :cool:

Its been 2.43 for regular for the past week and a half here. NYC.
You don't even want to know what premium is. Think $2.80 :eek: This is the "cheap" stations. I expect $3 premium by winter I really do.

$2.59 for diesel this morning at the truck stop I use. Most expensive is $2.75.

Gas is anywhere from $2.20 for 87, to 2.60 for the high test. I am not sure of the exact numbers I havn't bought gas in awhile.

$3 a gallon is going to hurt a bit this winter when I will be commuting to school. I will try to drive less but will probably burn 16-20 gallons a week.

Got 2 300Gal tanks in the carriage barn,have'em filled by whatever cash only home heating oil dealer is cheapest.

I had a Sub $50 fill up today, I was so happy that.......well I didn't really do anything. *****ing about gas prices is about as productive as *****ing about who's President.

OK, Eric, you make me sick!! ;)

Premium is about $153/gal here.

I know of a cheaper station (.20 or so less) about ten miles from my place. I'm now in the habit of putting about $5 in the tank until I'm in the area of that station then I fill up all the way. Hell of a way to have to save bucks!

I could be wrong, but I think it's because less diesel fuel is made from the crude. With less diesel being processed than regular, the price rises more dramaticaly.

I frequently see it around $2.59/$2.79/$2.89 for the three grades. That's mostly down on the peninsula (Palo Alto, silicon valley) it's steep down there.

The price has moved me to get my 617 converted to SVO though I'm still leaning towards going all out and trying to brew bio-diesel. Less potential grief in the engine, but more for my body: Methonal=big time poison. It's a tough one.

Lot's of grease to be had around here. A news article about a month ago -- some waste management company was fined big time for dumping over 1,000 gallons of used fryer oil into the sewer system of Palo Alto. Came from the Palo Alto country club. Popped up manhole covers -- a bunch of 'em. :eek:

Howdy All,
$2.59 for reg. here in El Mirage, Cal.

I see a Typo...where do you find anything pertrolium based for $1.53 a gallon these days? Its more like $2.53 a gallon

Oops! Must be the years of paying less than two freakin' bucks a gallon for gas. Yeah, I meant $1.53/gal.

Never thought I'd think it'd be nice to have to pay only $1.53/gal for gas!! :mad:

where are you finding $1.53 a gallon at......you aren't that far from me....the cheap places top that by $0.75 a gallon...

Cheapest I've found is the BP on the corner of Old Dominion and Chain Bridge Road in McLean. $2.55 there yesterday.

There's also an Exxon way down Old Dominion where it meets Rt. 29 (on the way to Spout Run) where gas is usually pretty cheap-- especially on Thursdays.

Premium was $2.48 there yesterday and .02 cheaper at the generic brand gas station across the street.

You could also hit the Costco out Rt. 7 if you belong, but their prices are about the same as the regular gas stations I've found above.

I figured it was over $2....hell I would be in line at the DNV to put tags back on my gasser if the price differential got that big.

$2.29 for diesel yesterdy.

Some indie home heating oil dude just filled me up $2.06 per gallon yesterday,THAT oughta serve me for awhile..... :D

up the limit on your credit cards and take out a second on the house, $2.98 up the street today ... they are high for the area but i almost choked when i saw the sign.

Howdy All,
Price hasn't changed here for 2 weeks, still $2.59. I guess they are waiting for the next holiday.

it's been around $2.00, but not below, for a few days now..

$2.59 for 93 octane
$2.66 for 91 octane
