gas prices

[leboop448]

What does every on think of the ever increasing gasoline prices?
Just the other day I paid $2.09 for 87octane.

[10eke]

I don't have a car, so I'm not having problems with it (yet)... But it is very expensive, and the price'll only get higher, I guess...

[Melissa Jones]

wow that sounds like alot to me. our prices have also skyrocketed. We were paying on average 70-85c per litre for unleaded now its on the $1 mark. good thing i've only got a smallish car and 1 tank of approx $30-$35 will last me a week.

The gas prices are just as high here in Arizona and they seem to go up 3 cents a day!! We were planning a driving trip about 2500 miles each way from Arizona to Ohio but now we're not so sure because gasoline is so high.

[lilhommieb74]

dats not rite! everyday dey r rAising the price! now i dont have a car so i dont deal wit it...... but my mom has to!

[Neckless]

Bikerbettyboop...

Is this a motorcycle trip?

[boopcrazy]

well gas prices have always been high here even when everyone else has low prices, so everyone is lineing up at costco where the prices r cheap but that is only for those who have a costco card. the price here is $2.35 (i think).........i'm not driving right now cause my husband uses the truck for work and thats the only car we have for right now.

[Neckless]

$15.00 usually makes the belly of my tank happy. Lately it's been taking nearly $28.00 to fill to capacity.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Lil74 you are right that you don't have to deal with it now but someday when you're driving your own car, you will know what we're going through. I hope gas prices come way down before you start driving!!

Neckless... this trip to Ohio will be with our truck and camper trailer.. but at this point we're not sure we can afford it. I figured it out and it's going to be about $2,000.00 to drive and about $1,000 to send my husband by plane.

My longest motorcycle trip was 160 miles in one day... and that was quite a trip for me... since I'm such an old lady... LOL...

Boopcrazy I've heard that everything (not just gasoline) is expensive in Hawaii.. I guess cause most everything has to be shipped in? My friends just got back and they said they are starting to save now for their next trip in 2006.

[Neckless]

Oh. About how far are you from Ohio?

[Bikerbettyboop]

We're about 1800 miles from Ohio... it's a 4 day drive... and that's just one way... so it's cheaper to fly!!

yes biker that is true everything here is costly, milk is $5/gal and everything else it's a good idea that they are saving now for the 2006 trip by then things may cost even more. It is mostly due to mostly everything has to be shipped in.


It cost to live in the sun. :D :cool:

[lilhommieb74]

$5 for a milk??!!? dats nuts!!! over here its like a dollar or less!! man how do ppl survive over der??

[Neckless]

Everythings gone crazy!

Here's a starter solution to the gas problem...<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_3_164.gif' alt='Horse 3' border=0></a>

Great idea Neckless.

The cost of living here is not too bad in comparison to average wages. I mean we'd all like more but we get by.

we just brought a 10+acre (4.2 hectare) property 1 hour south of Brisbane and it cost us $215,000. AUS$.

Milk is approx $2/per 2litres. Fuel $0.97 per litre. Bread $1.10 per loaf. So not too bad Other states are bit different and mainly more expensive. oh and by the way our Sunshine is free but only in QLD. They have to pay in the southern states that's why they dont get much. ;) just kiddin'

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey Lil 74 where are you getting milk for $1.00 a gallon? It's over $3.00 a gallon here in Arizona!!

Gee Mel it sounds like I need to think about moving to Australia!!! Do you have any pics of where you live?

[Melissa Jones]

Let me know if you do (tee hee ha ha) I have a few pics. will find some if you like???

[Neckless]

Milk is approx $3/per 2litres. Fuel $2.07 per litre. Bread $1.70 per loaf...in the Caribbean. M'Lissa..move over. I'm moving to Aussie Country!

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's what I told Mel too... why is gas so much cheaper in Australia and Canada than it is here?

[Neckless]

I could afford to buy a Hummer if I lived in Australia.

WOW! Milk is $5.00 a gallon in Hawaii?...
What is the minimum wage?
Cost of living is incredible.

[Bikerbettyboop]

I like Hummer's too... they are very cool vehicles!! The governor of California has one or maybe two or three!!

[Neckless]

Indeed...they are very cool vehicles!!
Let's see now...that is Schwarzeneggar...right?
(don't know about the spelling of his name) TERMINATOR? I heard he has 2 or 3 HUMMERS too! Must be nice...

[Bikerbettyboop]

The gas prices have sort of stabilized here... still over $2.00 a gallon!

Hummers are just a cheap version of a Jeep.
They were made to look pretty but they do not do what they are suppose to do! Thanks to my hubby I stick up for the Jeeps now days!!!

[Neckless]

I really am in love with the ones that the US Army uses. Big...green...rugged...tough...truk!
The H2Hummer is toooo cute-sy!
I prefer the tugged version. They're all cute tho!
