Gas Up: May 8

No need to take a new photo for me, because gas costs exactly the same this week as last—$1.359/litre or $5.14/gallon.

Other gas price reports
Rey gives us a breakdown of the gas prices he encountered last weekend in New York City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania:

• PA (where I live) $3.69 a gallon
  
• NJ (Family Stop A) $3.47 a gallon
• NJ (Refuel before entering NYC) $3.58 a gallon
• NYC (Family Stop B: NYC and where I refused to refuel) $3.89 a gallon
• NJ (Refuel before leaving NJ) $3.49 a gallon
  

Violet gives her report from Langley, BC where what you see is not necessarily what you get.

 

What about you? Up, down, or the same?

• Candy is paying $3.75/gallon and she blames the Californians.
• See what Dorothy is paying this week in Crystal Lake, IL.

Dorothy says she was getting an error message when tried to comment here. The comments are working for me now, but if you have trouble, too, will you send me an email letting me know?

From threegirldad, who lives somewhere in the world in Kansas.

Well, prices here shot up almost 20 cents a couple of days ago, so it’s now between $3.50 and $3.55. And to think that I can remember my dad pulling into a full-service station, and paying 19 or 20 cents a gallon for someone else to pump the gas — as well as clean the windshield and check the oil. Wow…

I remember 19¢ gas, too. And penny candy.

Missm gives us a link to an article in The Sydney Morning Herald about gas prices in her part of the world.

• Elaine has posted a photo of the gas prices in her little corner of Northern Ireland. Remember, the price listed is in £, not $. (And it’s per litre, not gallon.)
• threegirldad came back to report that gas in his neck of the plains (Kansas) has gone up another 10¢ since Thursday, so now it’s $3.65 per gallon.
• Gas at my little neighbourhood station went up since Thursday, too, by two cents a litre. That means there’ll be a new photo this coming week.

Our gas prices just went up to about $3.75. They will probably rise until after Memorial Day which seems to be the trend the past few years. It is interesting that years ago, our gas prices were typically $.20 to $.50 lower than California prices and now that so many Californians have moved here, our prices are equal or higher than Calif. prices. We blame everything on Californians! It's Dan Phillips fault!

Ok, ok. Central US...Kansas. Good enough?

Perfect. My dad, btw, thinks Kansas is the center of the universe.

Here is an interesting article in today's Sydney Morning Herald speculating on the impact rising petrol prices are having on families and society. Let's hope we don't end up running on empty.

Well, prices here shot up almost 20 cents a couple of days ago...

And yesterday (May 9), it went up another 10 cents, so in less than a week it's gone from ~$3.35 to ~$3.65.
