Have gas prices affected you? - Page 12

That certainly would make it much less cost-effective to blow them off of the face of the Earth.

Well, when I went from $50 to fill up my tahoe to $120 to fill up my suburban, all in a matter of 3 weeks, things do get a bit more tense. Going from $200/month to $480/month for gas really does have an impact.

Griff · 09-01-2005, 12:57 PM

.19 cents overnight to $3.26

jinx · 09-01-2005, 01:30 PM

$2.87 at the place across the street. I forgot to look when I passed the Sheetz up the road, its usually much cheaper there though.

Oh, but according to TW, these prices are still not high enough. I don't know what your talking about. Suck it up pal. [horrendous sarcasm]According to the latest economic reports, your paying $480 a month in 2005, but that translates to $800 in 1973 dollars. So your not that bad off. Doesn't matter that you can't buy as much groceries this month as you did two months ago in 2005, where it counts.[/horrendous sarcasm]

the way these prices are going it's a definite lifestyle change.
i'm going to pick up the classifieds and look for a motorcycle.

capnhowdy · 09-01-2005, 04:50 PM

yesterday nothing but premium here @ 3.20... this morning: nothing but regular at 3.09. I swear someone's mind gaming me.

BrianR · 09-01-2005, 05:05 PM

I paid $3.09 for 87 octane today. $3.19 for Plus and $3.29 for Premium. Went up $.20 overnight.

melidasaur · 09-01-2005, 05:22 PM

I saw some regular for 2.99 this morning as a trekked across Illinois from my parents house. Diesal was a whole dollar cheaper in some places... and I called Mr. Saur and told him that if things keep up like this, we should trade in our car for a TDi. He yelled at me and said I should just drive less. Oh well.

Dagney · 09-01-2005, 05:23 PM

Turkey Hill on the corner by my house as well as down the street from my office.

2.99 for regular, 3.19 for premium at 7:55 this morning

3.19 for regular, 3.59 for premium at 5:30 this afternoon.

I've seen higher, but the trauma of that number has been blocked from my memory.

The attached seems a bit more...accurate for some reason.

East Norriton Wawa 3.259 for Regular after midnight tonight.

Premium required a second mortgage and an indenture on your firstborn.

Yeah, but it isn't going to hurt the economy, right TW?

And now for the question everyone loves to ask: Why oh WHY do you own a Suburban and a Tahoe? Surely you're not complaining because you do more with these vehicles than drive it, alone, to and from work, the store, etc? You must have a ton of kids to haul around every single day.

I only say this because, well, there are some really crazy people here at my office that only have one or two kids and they're griping that it costs so much to fill up their massive vehicle. Even then, usually they're the only ones driving it! They love excess, so I'm sure that these gas prices can't be hurting them that badly. Otherwise, you know, they would have purchased a reasonable vehicle. A couple of them in their F-350s do nothing more than sit behind a desk all day -- they don't even have a boat to haul with it, nor do they work construction sites. Hilarious, really.

Our local paper stated today that America would stop all oil exports in the coming future and that this could mean prices could rise to as much as about 100€ for a full refuel for the common car. This price used to be at 40€ so this would be a price rise of more than 200%... But i'll wait and see, I don't tend to believe everything I read.

Elspode · 09-02-2005, 12:13 PM

By Monday, I expect to be paying $4.00 per gallon. That's going to cost me $80.00 to fill my Explorer. That's about $64.50 or thereabouts in Euros. Looks like we're all gonna have to pucker up, huh?
