Was thinking about starting a thread like this...

I guess this comes up everytime the gas prices go through the roof, which by the way will plummet back to earth once this whole war thing is resolved.

So the Cheap stuff is about 2 bucks and the premium is going for 2.30 or more. That's in San Jose, California. I'd bet a dollar that no one else save for those living in the boonies is paying more... Prove me wrong.

Makes me glad I get 25mpg on average and only drive about 50 miles a week.

I couldn't believe that for the first time I had to pay 1.999 for premium!!! The last time I spent 35 bucks to fill up a vehicle was when I drove a commuter van

Atlanta Gas prices

I pay about a $1.70 for premium in Atlanta, GA which is the only thing i put in the Maxima because it makes wierd noises if I dont put the best gas in it. I think regular is about a buck 1.50 I could put that in it because the noises usually own happen in thw summer when it is real hot. I think Georgia has some of the cheapest gas in the country during anytime.

you call that expensive!?

hey you guys all have it pretty cheap. Try coming out to the LA area where gas is:

1.99 - 87 oc.
2.05 - 89
2.15 - 92
not to mention that prices are still going up.

my friend up in nor cal(berkeley/oakland/frisco), theyre getting raped even worse with about 7 cents more than what i have.
*dont worry sweetie, ill return to 92 octane soon.

but you know, we ***** like thats expensive. In Hong Kong, gas is about $10 HK per Liter! that comes out to be about $1.20 US a Liter. if you were to fill up your tank in HK, itd cost you
$1.15 x 4 x 16 = $73.60/maxima tank!


so yeah, suck it up everyone! especially if youre paying less than $2/gallon.

so yeah, out here they dont take limbs, its all about organs!

I paid $31.50 to fill up my tank last night at Texaco. $1.99/gal for 91 octane. Rediculous! The price you pay to have advanced timing.

plus "spirited driving" hurts the wallet too, especially in these crazy gas price times

i drive a crap load every week and so I have no choice. I was paying $1.71 91 octane with my dillons card then i found caseys where they had 89 octane with 10% ethanol for $1.56. My gas mileage increased astronomically (i used to get about 320 to a full tank, now i get 415) Driving 1kmiles/week, that works perfectly fine for me

The gas stations around my house have regular for 1.93, Super for 2.03, and Premium for 2.13. The AM/PM a little further down the street has regular for 1.91. Damn these high gas prices...I paid like $25.75 last week when it was 1.83.

From the valley in California:
Unocal/76: 2.09(87) 2.19(89) 2.29(91) (and rising).
I'm filling up on 87 because I can't afford 89 anymore.

Hey! did you guys hear that gas might go up to $3.00 when summer comes around if this Iraq thing keeps up?

You're from Vegas? Cool, I didn't think there were any more Vegas Maximas up here.

Also, where did you find 93 octane? I have never seen 93 in the valley before.
