Thumbs down How much is gas where you are?

We are up to 3.80 a gallon for regular unleaded. Well, that was yesterday.
Could be higher today.

I am not sure right now. It was 3.45 last time I filled up but I mostly just drive to the store and take the kids places, and everything is close by so luckily I don't use much.

I haven't checked the prices for several days. Last Monday when I drove by it was $3.55 a gallon and since I had about 1/8 of a tank left, I thought maybe it'd go down a bit (*laughing hysterically now*) so I waited. I went on Wednesday and it was up to $3.79. I had $.60 in fuel perks from Giant Eagle so I went to their GetGo Station and only paid $3.19 a gallon.

Like FNF, I only drive locally so I don't use as much as I used to when I was working. At one point I worked in a different county for 6 years and my gas consumption was around $120-$140 per month depending on the fluctuating price of gas. And that was when gas was near $2 per gallon. I shudder to think what it would have cost me if I were paying today's prices.

(Our Giant Eagle supermarket gives out $.10 in fuel perks for every $50 you spend there. You have to use them within 3 months of earning them and, if you spend a lot of $$ there, can get a free tank of gas if you work it right.)

Kroger has the gas discount thing here but the store with the station is too far from where I live and my Kroger doesn't have the gas station. So I let my dad claim my discount, it's close to his neighborhood.

Man o man.
we have a store here which offers discounts Stop n Shop.
Unfortuately, like many of you have said, the store near us does not have a gas station.
Meant to check the prices of gas today. Will when we go out later.
It is only going to get worse.
But, hey, on the bright side, it is $12.00 a gallon in England. A bargin here!

I paid $3.60 yesterday, thank goodness I live in town, I work in multiple locations, and the farthest from home is 7 miles each way. I usually average 2 1/2 weeks between tanks.

I use my rewards VISA that gives me 5% back at gas stations, grocery stores, and drug stores. At least I get a couple dollars back on every tank.
