Default Gas: How Much Are You Paying?

AsSalamu' Alaykum,

So I'm just wondering how much y'all are paying for gas in your area [no need to get specific, just give a general idea of the location].

In the NorthEast US- my car has to have 93, so I'm dropping 3.25 per gallon at BJ's but if I were forced to get my gas elsewhere, I'm look at 3.45-3.50 per gallon.

Up here in the Toronto area we're paying about $1.03 CDN per liter ... which comes out to just over $4 USD per gallon.

Its all relative. Its not like we have the same cost of living. In other areas of regular financial obligations, I probably pay less than you do.

Why are you trying to ruin a good thing? So mean-spirited gosh.



Seriously though, I would not be surprised if gas takes about 1-2 dollar price hike.

That's standard. The price of all energy related commodities and derivatives continues to rise, year over year.

Gas, oil, electricity - its always an upwards trend, as is inflation, and as is the cost-of-living. Unfortunately, salary increases are not commensurate for the vast majority of people.

its $3.16 at the thornton's gas station by my house, the last time i checked. the price changes every single day. but in the city i have seen it as high as $3.30 a gallon.

try this site to find out cheap gas by you GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada

but i dont understand why you need to use a 93 for your car. any gas will do, as long as you use the the same kind of gas.

Because there are some cars that specifically need a certain grade?

A bowl of cereal gives me enough energy to bike to work and back. I add a 10 mile detour coming back cause It's relaxing. Aaaaahhhh

Gasoline doesn't affect me that much commuting wise.

P.S Gas is about $3.60 medium grade (which is what I fill my car with once a month) in my area.

P.P.S Gas prices give me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that my money is safe in my account and doesn't have to be wasted...

I paid $2.85 yesterday and was pissed. The day before I paid like $2.77. I don't think I will be driving when it goes over $3. I'll just take the bus.

that's not actually true. gas is gas, it doesnt matter what brand it is, or what 'grade' it is. its all the same.
