I had to gas up last week. The price of gas was $2.99 per gallon. I was busy the first day so decided to buy the next. Next day gas prices were up to $3.05 per gallon and I tanked up. 2 days later I had to take mom out for an errand and gas prices were up again to $3.15 and $3.17 per gallon at my two favorite filling stations. That's an eighteen cent rise in 4 days! I don't even want to think how much it's going to cost to keep warm this winter. :(

How are prices where you are at present?
 

In the UK there's 5 litres per Gallon roughly... we're paying £1.40 this week per litre for the cheapest supermarket unleaded..some independent petrol garages are charging much more... whereas the US gallon is around 1 litre less at roughly 4 litres per gallon

5 x £1.40 = £7.00 per gallon... which is equal to $9.61 US dollars... which is what we're paying currently

if the USA was charging the same prices as us in the UK £1.40 per litre = $1.92 US... ..then you would be paying... $7.68 per gallon

Here they go like a Yo-Yo. They were down to 2.99 last week & I filled up my Durango & four of my 6-gallon gas cans. As I was coming home I passed a station it had gone up to 3.05 Next day I went into the store to get what I forgot. Gas was 3.15 When I came back home it was changed up to 3.45 a gallon.

My Propane use to be 89 to 95¢ a gallon. Now it's up to 1.59 a gallon.
 
$2.89 to $2.99 according to gas buddy. You can expect much worse to come, I think. It’s what you get when a country is no longer energy independent. Prices at the grocery store go up every week. It’s sad To think how this will affect low Income folks.
 
I paid $3.359 yesterday in Central New York.

I only drive about 1,000 miles/year so the price of gas is not a significant part of my budget.

National Grid, the local utility, is estimating a 31% increase in home heating costs this winter.

The heat and hot water are included in my rent so it will not impact me until next fall when my lease comes due.

We all have our own personal inflation rate.

The biggest hit to my budget will be the cost of prescription drugs when I enter the donut hole. It is expensive but still much cheaper than providing my own insurance coverage under Obamacare before qualifying for Medicare.

what this country would give to be just paying $2.99 per gallon... even £2.99 in pounds would be great ..much less dollars... seriously guys you don't know how well off you are with those low prices for fuel

I am with hollydolly on these prices, but there is more!

Last weekend I went to Cornwall for a short break and
luckily I didn't need petrol on the motorway as they were
selling it for £1.60 per litre, £8 per gallon.

My father had a petrol station in the 1960s - 1970s and
his petrol was £0.68 per gallon, that is less than half the
price of one litre today, oh to turn back the clock, just
to fill up and return to today.

^ Tires deflate sitting around .... and especially when there is a big weather shift from hot to cold

If not down too many #lbs. of pressure, driving a while will bring the pressure back up.
