3.45 here in N Calif.
Use the app Gasbuddy and it will tell you the real prices anywhere.
Gas is going for 3.55 in New York. Gulf station in Staten Island. 7-11s are at 3.61. Sounds ok to me,
not 3.80 per OP.

In Portugal, we´re paying about 1,63€ for one litre of gasoline...considering our minimal wages of about 485€ a month,it´s getting unbearable.
I´m spending about a tenth of my salary just to get to work, and I live right next door and just use my car for this purpose... and most of us drive silly little cars around here, no big V8´s nor V6´s...
We are all chocking to death really...

Use a bicycle. Better for everyone. I would.
Hope things get better for you all there. That financial problem was pretty tough.

I don't want to start another thread on CIGS, but DAMN, down in manhattan you will pay 14 dollars average for a pack of newports, down in brigantine, atlantic city area (not sure if this goes for other parts of jersey) you can get TWO packs of newports for 15 dollars (when you buy two). UNREAL!!!!

lol

When it gets so cigarettes though, its cheap here!!

For a pack of 20 brand name cigarettes, its about 2.50 - 3.50 dollars!!

You can even find cheaper ones that is about 1.50 for a pack of twenty.

vvv

Wow, thats just scary, cheapest pack in Australia is about $10 for a pack of 20, ranging to about $25-$30 for a pack of 40s. So glad I don't smoke anymore...

As for fuel, we are about the same as Italy, around $1.45 a litre depending on where you are, so I guess that is around $5.50 a gallon. It is lower now than it has been, at one stage it was around $1.70 a litre, when the dollar wasn't as strong.
Sad thing is I have driving for just over 20 years, and when I first started it was around 65c a litre....

$3.09 is the average here in Missouri

2.50$ per liter in Oslo, Norway.
Thank god I don't use a car!

In Tinley Park (outside of Chicago), I paid 3.67 for regular today, in the city it's over 4.00 per gallon

Last time I put gas on, which was a couple of days ago, it was $3.35/gallon for regular unleaded and I think it was like $3.80/gallon for diesel which is crazy. I couldn't imagine paying what some other countries do for gas though, even $0.99/liter is almost $4/gallon.

what is the regulation on gas prices in the us?
i cant remember exactly, but i heard once they do something like; a gas station can only raise or lower their price based on a % range of all gas stations within a 2mile radius.

not exactly, but it was similar to that.

Well I have a part time student job at a gas station and here it is per liter.


Supreme. 1.829 Diesel. 1.499
Unleaded 1.769






It's insane, people complaining about the prices and they have no idea how to stop it. When it could be as simple as not driving for a day, if everyone would do that it would make one hell of a statement.


I don't get it why people think they are so powerless.


I try to tell a lot of people on a daily basis that they are the most powerful army in the world.


peace

btw I live in Maastricht, Holland.

A little over a week ago I caught a special here in College Station, Tx, and filled up for $3.00 / gal.
I think it is around $3.30 or so now...somewhere between $3.10 and $3.30 I believe.
