How Much Is Gas Again?

[BrenDAnn]

I have a story from today! It's a brain burp more than anything, but still...Anyway, so it was a busy morning at the C-store. People were coming and going, getting drinks and good and gas, etc. Suddenly, an older gentleman bursts into the store and to the front counter. We'll call him Confused Man, CM for short.

CM: I have a problem with this pump! *points to pump he's on* I don't even have a gallon in and it's over $3!
ME: Alright *turns to AM* S, I'm going to go out and take a look at this man's pump. Excuse me.

So, I go outside, and the guys has something like .94999 gallons of gas. Nearly a gallon. I actually went and did the figures on the calculator and showed it to him, explaining that, yes, gas is $3.79 a gallon. He seemed to get that he'd had a brain burp, and I left him to finish pumping. Later, when he came inside to pay:

CM: I'm sorry about that *laughs* I'd forgotten how much gas was. I just couldn't believe my eyes!

I assured him it was alright, and I'm glad he apologized, lest this be in the SC section. CM went off on his way, and all was well (and busy) once again at the C-store. I love a happy ending.

$3.79? Wish it was that here as we are over $3.90 per gallon. Almost hit $4 (I'm in Florida).

[BrenDAnn]

It actually JUST went down from $3.89. A sign, perchance, that the insanity will quell for a bit?

[Andara Bledin]

It's been over $4 for months out here. Hit $4.20, but dropped 10c over the last couple of weeks.

Filled up the fiancee by my parents house for $3.79 last night (down from $3.84 that morning). Its still holding in the $4.35 range where she lives, and driving through Chicago on our way back from the zoo yesterday I saw many stations at $4.49.

[MoonCat]

It's around $4.01, $4.03 here, depending on which station you go to (and how close they are to each other...I swear they all check in with each other every morning to decide how much they're all going to charge!)

[It's me]

You'd love it here.... gas is $4.96 a gallon here (converted from litres and Canadian dollars to US gallons and US dollars).

Feel free to visit the UK & stroke out over the prices.

Currently it's £1.34 a litre, which is £5.07 a gallon.

According to today's conversion rate, that's $8.20 a gallon.

Anyone else want to compare prices?

Can't beat you, but we have certainly joined you .
DKR 12.67 a litre this morning.

Just about.

I always had to check the competition at my last 3 gas stations to know when we had to change prices and to what price. Last gas station, we checked at LEAST twice a day.

Please don't hate but for the past few weeks gas here has been about $3.47 a gallon.
