What's the Price of Gas Where You Live?

$1.69 here today. I had 0.20/gallon Kroger fuel points so filled my truck for $1.49. Last week was $1.99. Had 0.80/gallon fuel points so filled for $1.19/gallon. ~25 gallon for just over $27.00.


I burn through about 40 gallon/week. We use Kroger fuel points. Everything you buy at the Kroger grocery store accumulates fuel points. We get our prescriptions filled at Kroger and get 50 fuel points for each refill. Kroger gives you 4X face value of gift cards in fuel points. If we need something from Home Depot, Best Buy, etc. we always stop at Kroger and pick up gift cards for the fuel points. I recently had to buy a portable generator for work. Picked up $500.00 in Home Depot gift cards at Kroger. Got 2,000 fuel points which turned $50.00 in gas savings.

The firm reimburses me $0.60/mile for me using my own vehicle. I LOVE these low fuel prices. When gas was $4/gallon, not so much!!!

Hi Linda,

There's 4.5 approx litres in one Imperial Gallon....prices for petrol here vary greatly between different Garages, some as much as 10p a litre difference, and not necessarily in a different county, or even a different town, but often in the same road!!

My nearest Supermarket forecourt is currently the cheapest locally and are selling Unleaded ...at £1.05 per litre which equates to £4.72 per Gallon....the equivalent at the current exchange rate of $7.17 US


The average price of Diesel in the UK is currently £1.18 per litre... £5.31 per Gallon...= ($ 8.07 US )

Ouch! I just remember ice cream cost quite a bit more in Europe than in the U.S. :( I know people do have smaller cars and use public transportation more than us lazy Americans do.

That rate is imperial gallon which the US doesn't use. A US gallon is 3.78 litres. So it's more like $6.16 with the exchange rate. It's really misleading to say that though because unless we are using dollars to pay for it it doesn't matter what it equates to any more than what it equates to in yen, or euros, etc.

Americans would probably use mass transit if they could and it was convenient. It seems only places like the northeast have good mass transit.

I'm somewhat semi-rural, 10 miles outside of a town on a coastal road lined with homes. A bus goes past my house every hour. Rural areas still get a bus service but it's often twice a day. In towns and cities transport is easy.
 
We've been up in Kansas City this week, and noticed gas prices en route ranging anywhere from $1.89 to a low of $1.69 (at a big truck stop in North KC). It's All Good...compared to the nearly $4 a gallon we had to pay just 2 or 3 years ago.
 
We're paying between $1.89.9 and $1.99.9. My son gets his groceries at Kroger so gets points for discounted gas for every $100 he spends. Since he doesn't have a car, I get to use his points...the discount ranges from $.10/gal to $.30/gal. When there are no usable points, there's still a $.03/gal discount.
