Fuel prices in your town?

I'm just passing thru St Joseph MO and got regular for $3.99/gal. Two days ago in SE Oregon it was $5.09/gal. The high gas prices have not gotten the majority of the people off the road, including me. When I get home and add up the total for gas during my cross country trip and back home, I'll probably be grounded (aka broke) for rest of the year. :mad:
 
Let me see ...

5000mi round-trip to visit the relatives at 28mpg is ~180 gallons, which at an average of ~$5/gal is about $900. For the gas. Plus wear and tear, generally. Plus several days of motel rooms. Plus ...

Via commercial plane is, um, ~$700. Plus rental car. Plus motel for a few days. Plus ...

Fishin' at the lake's lookin' bery bery good to me. :)

Yep, just drove from Portland, OR to Livingston, MT and back.
As of Saturday, regular 89 octane gas prices:
Livingston : $4.17
Missoula : $4.39 (Non-ethanol regular was $5.02)
CDA : $4.47
Pasco : $4.59
Vancouver : $4.59
Beaverton : $4.89
Seems gas is rising fairly quickly again. Gas in Beaverton was $4.69 when I left at the start of the trip.

Have you priced flights lately?
I priced Portland, OR to Denver, CO - all a weekend stay-over.
3 days notice : $>$1,500
2 weeks advance : ~$1,100
6 weeks advance : ~$950
 
Just returned from a road trip from WA to CO, prices ranged from 3.87 to 4.99. And went up locally 0.30 a gallon at home. Thanks Jay, NOT!
 
Don't know why, other than greed, to this afternoon, the stations raised fuel prices another $.20 cents. From average of 5.36 to 5.56 for gasoline and diesel went to 6.50 a gallon.

Yes. Hence the $700 quote. Depends on the route, of course, and whether a person opts for only first-tier or is willing to use second-tier airports.
 
Gas up here in Erie Pa, went up 20 cents over night. 3 years ago
I bought this tin box Nissan Versa, for just traveling to the ranges
and match's I frequent. I get a good 36 MPG. I budgeted for three
match's per month assuming gas hit's $5.00 bucks. My safety net
will be to drop a match, and just do two per month. It won't matter
anyhow with having only a 6 month reserve on reloading components.
at that point, I won't need the gas if trade options don't work out.
 
Costs more to transport fuel to stations and ethanol to refineries. Plus Joe wants gas above 6.00/ gal, then the democrats will magically figure out a price drop in Oct, with prices back up in mid Nov. And we are in summer blends now which reduces production slightly.
