MY HUSBAND JUST PAID $3.00 a gallon of gas this afternoon right here in

[flordehinojos]

south florida where jeb bush has made a public call for people to CONSERVE GAS: DON'T USE IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Eight gallos of gas came out to $26 on our 1991 Japanese car. We used to fill the tank with less than $10.00

"CONSERVE GAS: DON'T USE IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO "
I guess I'll have to forgo those unleaded facials.

On edit: $3.10 here in IA.

[flordehinojos]

4. thanks for the laugh . I needed one.

[youthere]

6. No wories...hey, we gotta' laugh..

Or else we'd never stop crying.

[flordehinojos]

3. wow! we probably will have that to look forward to here in the next day or

so.

8. Hmm... maybe someone kind will do the math for me

Gas here went to $1.14/litre. So that would be about $5.70/gallon (CDN). Then you have to subtract exchange rate. I think it's about $.20. ($1.00CDN = $.85US). So our gas is still more expensive. And, this part kills me... it's OUR GAS! I am so glad I gave up driving a car last year. I use buses, feet or bike.

14. i visited toronto once, many years ago, beautiful city...compared to many

u.s.a. cities, public transportation is a win-win!

[NMMNG]

12. $3.49 here

Of course if I'd forego those unnecessary trips to work I wouldn't need so much gas :sarcasm:

[flordehinojos]

15. another good laugh! thanks a lot!

[BiggJawn]

13. That's ALL????

Been over $3 here all week. A Citgo in the next town is charging $4.

Cha-CHING!!!!!!!!!

16. Heck, that's a bargain. I'm lucky if I can find it for $3 a gallon

here in North Georgia. As of yesterday, it was $3.15 to $3.69.

[pinniped]

17. A lot of stations in SF are trying to stay under the $3.00 mark.

$2.99 9/10 regular rounds to $3.00 anyways.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. $3.39 here in Chicago.

It was $2.95 here two weeks ago.

[Blue Gardener]

19. 3.09 here

So far it isn't anything I can't handle, but it is a tremendous burden for many. Many of my co-workers have very long commutes. They live in small towns where there are no jobs, and they have to drive to a larger city just to have a job. The extra money they now have to pay for gas just isn't in the budget.
