June%2013%20gas%20sign

The good news is that we can finally have a new photo of the sign at my neighbourhood gas station. The bad news, at least for me, is that the reason we need a new photo is that the price of gas rose 5¢ a litre last week from $1.399 to $1.449. So I’m paying around $5.50 Canadian per gallon or $5.37ish US.

How about you? Tell me about gas prices where you live. And I’d like to know if you’re doing anything differently as a result of high gas prices.

Jen says:

Last I checked, we were around 4$ a gallon here in western PA. We’ve had to raise our pickup/delivery fees as a result.

That would be fees for the business she and her husband operate.  Check out her blog for some photos of Jen’s craftsmanship.

From Miles L. in northern Minnesota, where the price for gas is a little less than most others have been reporting:

The price here in northern Mn. is 3.89/gallon today. It is down a dime since last weekend. I’ve made an effort over the last month to drive slower. I’ve raised my mpg by aprox. 1 1/2-2mpg. It doesn’t really change my schedule, just my attitude. Maybe I need to slow down my life a little anyway. I reduced my speed by aprox. 7 miles per hour to 58 instead of 65.

From Larissa:

Here in Missouri it is 3.83 this weekend, but I bet on the way to church it  will be more tomorrow.

Here’s the changes her family is making because of high gas prices:

We have cut down on a lot of things. Driving farther for visits to friends and family outings. We have also cut our driving speed and  also turn off the car every time we stop. We also try and use less AC as that sucks our gas more then anything. Mostly we have cut out our extra expenditures, instead of getting a pool membership for the fam for the summer, we are now frequenting the public spray parks and pools in a close proximity. That has really helped our budget, doing things for free.

I paid $4.64 a gallon this past weekend for ARCO 87 gasoline (here in Monrovia, CA)——cheapest I could find.
