    Gas prices finally went under $2.00/gallon where I live. It' $1.99/gallon. [​IMG]

    The tires we got for my vehicle last week were cheaper, too.

    It's teetering around the $2.00/gal mark in my area. I'm happy about it, but I'm also annoyed that it's a lot cheaper in most of the country. :cautious:

    We've been between $1.60 and $1.90 for awhile now. I had enough fuel points from Kroger a few weeks ago that I actually filled up at about $1.10 per gallon. Right now it's kind of settled around $1.78.

    My car gets awesome gas mileage but it requires 93 at a bare minimum but I use 100% gas 99.9% of the time. Even it has been quite a bit cheaper though. I get 31 miles a gallon and I think that's really awesome.

    About $1.65-$1.75 in the Omaha region IIRC, I just filled up 3 days ago you'd think I'd remember. It's been under $2.00 for awhile though.

    My wife said she thinks regular is like $1.70. I've been paying a little over $2 a gallon for the 100%.

    :eek:

    In Canada, I am paying 90 cents for a litre, which roughly translates to over $3.40/US Gallon.

    :facepalm:

    Are you paying $400 a month give or take in health insurance premiums? ;) Not saying it's good or bad, but there's always a trade off.

    I'm mostly happy that heating oil is back in the SANE pricing range. Not that we've needed much this year.

    It's funny that you guys measure it in liters because down here we only measure Mountain Dew in liters and when I read that word I just instantly had a visual of people drinking gas. LOL!

    Guess there are always trade offs.

    I guess it comes down to I am 33 and rarely have ever went to the doctor or hospital. On the other hand, I am getting gas nearly every week.

    I paid around £1.10 a litre here.

    A rough conversion guideline is one litre is just under two pints.

    (1pint = 568 millilitres).

    I only work about 15 minutes drive from where I live (7 minutes on twilight shift), so it's not that big a dent.
    £25 to £30 a week.

    You're right - no need to see the Doc - lots of OTC remedies for your condition - Bean-o, Gas-X, Super Colon Blow etc etc :hehehe:

    So, when I saw the title of thread, I thought "usually, but not at the moment." However, then I decided to peek and see the real topic of discussion. I've been paying about $1.75 - $1.80 for regular here in central CT for the past week or two. I'll take it. Fortunately my current car takes regular. My prior 3 cars took super, and that's at least $2.50 at every station around here.

    Last year at prices around $2.03 I paid .98 cents a gallon. I had like $1.05 off a gallon from Lowes Food. I usually fill up my truck and put the rest in my my wife's Buick. Park them with the pump between and you only get 25 gallons for that but, works for me. Got to fill up later today and only have .20 cents off this time round. DANG!
