$1.169/L or $4.42/gal here today.

06pvibe · Post by **06pvibe** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 1:48 am

That is a big OUCH!!!It's gone up to $3.66 at my favorite Shell station for +/- the last week. But some stations a little closer to home (Chevron, Exxon) are charging up to $3.80.

Quote, originally posted by HawaiiPontiacLover Â»$4.65.Your posts about prices always make me feel better about paying whatever we're paying at that time .Although we're currently at $3.97 which is slighly above the national average, we're still way below the average price in the city of Chicago, so it's a win some, lose some situation I guess .

It's been holding strong at $3.89/gal for the last few days here is Badger Country.

I am glad I only have to pay 2 of the 3 (or 1 of the 3 if I drive 2.5 miles north and buy gas in Lake Country, or at the Delta Sonic which matches the Lake County prices)... but I still paid $4.12 a gallon even then. (But it was awesome because the pump stopped at exactly $44.00... I love when that happens)

CAMOGIRL · Post by **CAMOGIRL** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 10:52 pm

the Sinclair in town just went up to 3.90... Means we will be following suit. I WILL be waiting to fill until I get to town where I have class, always at least .10 cheaper. It doesn't add up to a lot, but when it's so much, now every penny counts

03VibeOttawa · Post by **03VibeOttawa** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:48 am

Everywhere I drove past on my way to work this morning was above $1.30/L ($4.93/US Gallon). I've already noticed I'm flooring it less, and I'm a few cents away from considering all-out hypermiling.

ponta2147 · Post by **ponta2147** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 7:24 am

Well, all the stations that were at 4.12 are now up to $4.28... and I'm seeing $4.35 at most other places, out in the burbs (I'd hate to see what it looks like in the city). Anyone in IL remember what the actual peak was out here last time the gas went really high? I'm curious how close we are (I didn't have a car last time this happened, so I didn't pay that much attention).

I did a quick search today and was reading CNN and various topics over the last 30+ days in the link below:http://topics.cnn.com/topics/gas_pricesThere was speculation on the radio gas will hit $6.00 a gallon this summer.... *shrugs shoulders*

06pvibe · Post by **06pvibe** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 10:24 am

That would suck. That means instead of the $39 I spent today that it would be $60+ to fill up my Mazda3 @ 28.4MPG!! I've been driving very conservitavly lately... driving for mileage to see if I could get back to what it was BEFORE all the oxygenated fuels (E10.) I finally achieved that in the last 3 weeks, but it's a boring way to drive. $6.00/gal would be adding insult to injury.

$4.19 was the lowest I've seen it, out in Wheaton... up here it's anywhere from $4.24 (at the low-price Delta Sonic) to $4.59 within a three mile radius of my house!

Just filled up at $3.69 a gallon. I didn't today, but I can save 10c a gallon when filling up at my grocery store. Feels wrong having to spend over 40 bucks to fill up.

Oh god... the cheap stations went up too... lowest I've seen now is $4.48 near my house... it cost me almost $50 to fill up this little tank... ouch.

$52 for 42.65L @ $1.219 so approx 32mpg, 95% highway 1/2 the tank driven against a 35+km/h headwind doing 130...

As of this morning the average in Chicago was $4.35.I also saw on the news this afternoon that there was a gas station in the city that was charging $5.09 a gallon for premium. They were saying something about the owner having a hard time getting the machine that controls the prices on the sign to accept anything with a 5 in front of it .

Gas went DOWN a dime today, the boss is selling his 3.89 fuel for 3.79 so he can fill his storage tanks with a huge load of cheap(er) stuff which will also be 3.79. Bad news for the guy down the street who can't unload his 3.98 for anything.

You guys are lucky to have such cheap gas....I am paying $1.37 / liter up here........i think that works out to about $5.20 / gallon?.....and our dollar's been higher for awhile now. I think we are getting ripped big time!

I think we are getting ripped big time! $60++ tank fill-ups are dragging on me, too. I haven't seen $1.37 in the city yet, but we've been hovering $1.33-1.34/L for the past 2-3 weeks. It does drop to $1.29 sometimes late at night this week, but still.

Beer Belly · Post by **Beer Belly** » Fri May 06, 2011 1:22 am

Earlier this week it was actually at $1.39...it dropped 2 cents woohoo!!! It'll blow past $1.40 this summer for sure, I wouldn't be surprised to see $1.50.

I put about 9.5 gallons of premium in my GT before leaving Decorah today. It was $3.95/gallon. That's a few cents cheaper than what it is at right now in Cedar Falls.It isn't cheap but dang, I feel bad for you guys that are already over $4/gallon. I'm not looking forward to it reaching that price in my area but it really is only a matter of time. It looks like I won't be doing very much recreational driving this summer.

It dropped even more towards the end of the business day today. One place (generic station CASH price) was down to $3.79 Now they're saying we could see gas fall another 50-75 cents between now & memorial day. This is simply insane

@ HawaiiPontiacLoverI get bored a lot and end up driving around for fun. I do a good job of staying in my area but I can still burn through a lot of gas; especially when I make multiple cuts through town. As fun as it is, it's getting to be a pricey past-time.
