Price of gas
« on: March 02, 2014, 05:25:55 am »
Is the high price of gas concerning to anyone else?

When money is an issue, it makes it a struggle to keep the gas
Tank full.

Gas is $3.08 a gallon here were I live.  I was even higher than that last week but it went down a few cents.  I wish the oil company would get their act together and lower prices so everything else will go down like grocreys and other things.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

Gas Is $3.17 Where I Am But If I Drive Ten Minutes Away, Its 5 - 10 Cents Cheaper. I Only Get It There When I Go To That Town To See My Friends

Wow, I wish gas was that low here! In west central WI we are paying $3.49 for gas. The LP shortage has also jacked up LP prices. A few weeks ago it was $5.25 per gallon. When we filled up in August, it was only $1.39. We need LP again and it is $2.95. Ughhh! So ready for this winter to be over.

Our gas price today is $3.45.

I have a full tank so I am hopeful it will go back down before I need to refill.

It is $3.08 a gallon here in Mississippi as well.  My husband spends between $15 and $20 and I doubt if he fills up the tank.  He leaves the house every day, so yes, it is a big concern. ??? ??? ??? :rainbow:

Gas prices go up every year in the spring. They have been fluctuating in the same basic range for years now, so it's not really concerning. If it's hurting your budget, you probably need to do a better job of budgeting.

This is an old issue now. Gas has been higher than it should be for so long now, it is not even worth talking about
anymore. :neutral:

I pay roughly 1.43 a litre in Quebec...which is roughly 5 bucks a gallon.  I would KILL to have $3.17 a gallon!

It is hard to not respond to your comment with angry words.  There are a lot of people who are having a hard time right now.  A lot of people are struggling.  There are people who do not have a job and cannot find a job.  And yes, they are looking.  Money only goes so far.  Just because a person is having a hard time does not mean they are doing a bad job at budgeting or that they are wasting money.  People who have never had to work for anything or had to struggle just do not get it.

But what is your pay in Quebec?  I am also not sure how the Canadian dollar compares to the American dollar.  That makes a huge difference when you compare what you pay for gas to what American pays for gas.

It's also the same with people who live in the North in the US and those who live in the South.  Yeah gas may be $4 something up North but they also make like $20 an hour where as in the South the average pay is more like $7.25 so take also into account only working 20 hours a week and $3.50 for a gallon of gas is a lot of money.
