printersdevil78 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The least I ever paid for gas was 72 cents a gallon in 2000 when a new Wawa opened up in the area and had that as a promotional price for about a week. Under normal circumstances, the least I can remember paying was $1.01 when I was visiting relatives in Chincoteague, VA, while in high school. By the time I was in college, gas had "skyrocketed" to $1.25 a gallon, which everyone just found appalling. I mean, it cost almost $15 to fill your tank! When I graduated, it was around $1.50, and everyone vowed to "teach the oil companies a lesson" and stop driving altogether if gas ever reached the monumental price of $2 per gallon. Those were the days! I filled up yesterday at that same Wawa that once had the 72-cent gas for the bargain price of $42.75 (at $3.59 a gallon).

coasterfreak101 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Gas in College Park, MD (right outside of DC) is up to $3.73. The Shell stations are all $3.85+ though - is Shell notorious for expensive gas, or it just coincidence that all their stations I see are high?

Hhappy Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 sjeesh.. you're all so lucky.. here's what i'm paying at this time.. 1,75 euro per litle.. 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 litre 1 euro = 1.44 dollars so that would make 9.54 dollars a gallon.. and don't get me started on how much of that price goes to our government.. basically filling up the car (for me weekly) is 65 euro (93 something dollar) sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 ^ At least the difference between regular and mid-grade is only $0.10, the increases between grades went up to $0.15 here several years ago I'm of the age that I can remember paying right around a $1/gal while in college doing road trips up to Wild Adventures! (Georgia had cheap gas) In Gainesville, I was getting like $1.15. Oh those were the days... I remember when we (along with TX) used to have some of the cheapest gas in the country! Now, we're still pretty cheap (I think its around $3.60), but we're not much different than the rest of the south (save for FL) It was around $1.25 when I first started driving, and I remember gas prices being in the $0.70 range as a kid..

ernierocker Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 ^I wonder why that is? I remember the same thing since my aunt and uncle have lived in Atlanta for over 20 years now. We used to be able to pay a lot less for gas there then up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 The Cheapest I ever remember paying for gas was in college- and that was .86 a gallon across the street from campus for about four months- and yet, I was cheap (HOW CHEAP WERE YOU!) I was SO Cheap that I'd put only four or five dollars in... all I needed it for was to get to BGW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 As of today, it is $4.21 per gallon where I live. It is a good thing I pretty much only drive from home to school and back or out to nearby fast food restaurants because otherwise I would probably exceed my gas allowance.

doublestufforeo Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Four dollars and like ten cents was the price per gallon here in Central Florida two days ago. We payed 59.20 to fill up the tank, ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. Why are gas prices sky rocketing at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tntornadox Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Gotta love those Wall Street speculators pushing oil prices through the roof... this is probably the first 'gas crisis' where there was NO shortage of oil... as a matter of fact, there is a surplus on the market right now. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFChris Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 LOS ANGELES $4.89 near work (Downtown LA, which admittedly, has always been quite a bit gouged) $4.29 4 miles away near my home. Which is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 $4.25 when I got gas yesterday. I usually go about two weeks on a tank, so I'm sure it will be up another ten-fifteen cents by the next time I fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
