So, is anyone paying $4.00/gallon for gas yet?

What's on your mind?

$3.75.9 here in wonderful WV this morning :| (edit to add that was regular, not premium)

I traded last Saturday for something with better mileage, and after softball last weekend, softball this weekend followed by travel soccer for my son yesterday evening, and 95ish miles a day roundtrip for work, my new car is 9 days old and has a little over 1500 miles on it already :D

You guys realise we could singlehandledly solve the gas issue - if we travel softball people all stayed home and didnt travel one season, it would completely reverse the trade deficit and the US would not need to import a bucket of oil. Its really all our fault.

Good point but keep in mind the reverse economic impact if we weren't purchasing the equipment required to play. Balls, Bats, gloves, uniforms, not to mention the decline in hotdog, frito pie, pickel, gatorade, and sunflower seed sales. Gas is but a small drop in the "bucket" pun intended :lol:

Great point - without us out spending our retirement on 2.50 sodas, seeds, mexican granola (frito pie) and those shirts, etc. the economy would collapse. Its not all just gas.

I was a little lost out in the sticks in Fresno trying to find Clovis HS.
Truck was running on fumes. Finally found a Chevron with Diesel $4.53 per Gal :o
Not much better in L.A. $4.37 per gal. Only cost me $105.00 to fill up!!

I spent $40.00 just to fill the Beetle, yesterday. And that is with gas at $3.30.

I don't eat nor drink at those dirty over priced concession stands. I am saving my money for a Techzilla. Amy

Where do you get gas for $3.30?

Paid $4.01 :o :shock: (credit price) at Shell in Fresno this weekend.

Totally sucked balls.

Started a lay away account for the new Techzilla ourselves :mrgreen:

10 miles north of Fresno on the way home, hit a gas station and paid $3.79.
I think they all jacked their prices 10c for the weekend !
Being from NorCal, what do I know anyway???
