What is happening to the price of gas?

It was $1.67/gal for regular today to fill the Explorer. But the kicker was the 200 gallons that went into the boat today at $2.10/gal. Ouch....

it's spring, the gas magically increases in price again.... its 1.75 and up in the chicago land area and its supposed to go higher.... 14-15 mpg is starting to hurt.

but im not gonna complain in comparison to your boat, 200 gallons is a big ouch.
 






wow

Wow 200 gallons is a lot of gas. How big is your Boat? Gas is supposed to go up to $3 bucks a gallon this summer, so we haven't seen the worst of it yet. I wish i had some oil in my backyard. Then i'd be rich $ :-)

Then I might have to add a surcharge for fuel....

My boat is at www.fdu.com/gschart.htm. She is 30 feet.

Hehe, Gilligan's Island, lol...

So I'm reading your bio, it says you're from East Point (even went to Woodward!)...cool, I'm from Marietta. Boo UGA! Dead Link Removed War Eagle!

Kick @$$ family history. I myself come from a long line of CPAs, lol.
 






Well Im trying to feel sorry for you guys but up here it just went to .77 cents a litre (still trying to figure this metric stuff out) whitch is about $2.90/gallon give or take . When they tell us its onlygone up 5 cents thats actually like 20 cents a gallon! As you say its spring and it aint gonna get any cheaper.
Oh well still cant bring myself to buy a civic :)
 






At least in the summer you get a little bit more MPG! mine has been going up the past few fill-ups. Last tank I got 410 miles to the tank. that was even with some harder driving. Hopefully i can get up to 450 a tank like last summer.

Ditto!! I'm sooooo glad summer is around the corner. The gas price around here is $1.55 a gal regular, premium is $1.70 a gal. Right now, I don't really care about what gas to use. Sam's sells gas at $1.49 a gal. That's a lot chaper than $1.55 when you pump about 17 gal. Well, about the 410 miles, it's never gonna happen on my truck. The highest I got is 300 miles.

A few weeks ago it was 1.25 a gallon, now its up to 1.58 a gallon. I'm sure its less today since its the weekend and on the interstate, here in town I imagine its more.
 






77 cents/litre??!!

Wow, i'm paying $0.58/litre here, which works out to about US$1.40/gallon.
 






77CENTS/LITRE

YUP MAYBE MY MATH IS OFF BUT IFIGURED 3.9 LITRES TO A U.S. GALLON , I CANT REMEMBER .58CENTS/LITRE AND WE MAKE THE **** DOWN THE ROAD IN SARNA ,GO FIGURE
 






No the math is about right, i used 3.8L to a gallon. (Got that info off toilet bowls hehe.)
 






Don't feel bad!

Not far from toad, Quebec in fact, it is up to 83 cent/liter x 3.8 = 3.15 per gallon. The main reason why I did not buy another Explorer, but instead and Escort. I get twice the mileage, but still would have liked and other Ex.

410miles to a tank! Holy crap, the most i've gotten is 300. Please tell me how you manage that.
 






1.65

$1.65 here in Nebraska. It went up around .20 last week alone. I'm a new owner of a '91 Mazda Navajo that got 18.5mpg on my last highway trip, which works out to about 350m/tank. It's a five speed, so I'm hoping on making some imporovements on gas mileage, AT LEAST 20! 02 sensors, new wires, kkm true rev...those should all help.
 






ah yes, i just got my o2 sensors replaced, so we'll see how it is on this fresh tank, $24.00 to fill it up

$1.51 a gallon here in MA
 






Man, the most I can squeeze out of my Ex is about 230 miles. Gas here in Vegas ais about 1.70 for reg. unleaded and I fill up once a week! This sucks, think I need to find a cheaper mode of transportation.
 






I paid 1.47/gal for gas the other day here in MA. Get about 350 miles/tank.
