Your Gas Price

I'm sorry to hear that. I was hoping it was just us.

Airbags have made it unsafe to put kids in the front seat of most cars. Car seat laws mean it's nearly impossible to stuff three kids in the back seat (this is why an SUV is better than a three-row station wagon). Throw in that SUVs don't have the same image problem that minivans and station wagons do, and you get lots of SUVs.

It's 1.084 CDN$/L here in Rimouski, Quebec. Which amounts to 4.103 CDN$/gal. With the Canadian dollar conversion rate at 0.83999 US$, it comes up to 3.446 US$/gal.

It ranges between $2.29 to $3.79

Storminator,

You got quoted at my blog.

$2.49. Earlier this afternoon. So far, at that time, prices hadn't gone up yet. *yet*

Dreading prices when I head off to Dragoncon. But then I have someone to pay half. Which'll help with the trip. But not for mundane stuff after that...

A few gas stations have already raised prices. One place in town was up to $2.62 while the station across the street was at $2.50 (I'd take it they hadn't raised their price at that point...)

I'm assuming that these are US$/gallon.

Here, I've seen it hovering around $1/L (+/- $.05/L).

Yup. If you're on the metric system, please mention that. And also prices are listed in US dollars as well. Same if you're monetary system is different...

Honestly, I don't even know, or care. I gas up, hand 'em the card, and pay it all at the end of the month. Gas is such a tiny fraction of my monthly bills that it's not even worth shopping.

PS

I have one gas card (Shell) so my options are fairly limited unless I use a regular credit card (hell NO!) or cash (*wince*).

$1.26 per litre in Aussie dollars, which works out to $6.71 US per gallon.

I read an article this morning that tipped that within tweleve months we will be paying up to $1.60 AUS per litre. At current conversion rates, that would be $8.50 US per gallon.

Ow! That has to put a damper on your wallet!

I noticed $2.46 when driving in yesterday morning. Gas prices are just insane. Yeah, I know they're worse other places but still...

I remember thinking gas over about $1.60 was expensive a year or two ago...

I do drive a SUV, but it's the most comfortable thing I can find. I'm a big guy. Most vehicles don't have enough leg room for me and most cars are so low to the ground that getting in and out is a big pain for me -- plus I see better, don't have near as much trouble from speed bumps and have lots more room to put stuff in my SUV. I had a minivan for a while and it got better gas mileage, but it was just too uncomfortable and the ride was terrible. Other than that, I've driven pickups and SUVs all my life (I grew up in a ranching community and this is Texas, so this isn't unusual) and I just don't want to change. In a few years when I can get a large hybrid SUV and the prices have come down a bit, I'll probably get one of those.
