Wow! My husband just came home and gas has jumped 10 cents since yesterday!

I hope it is temporary, but if it isn't, it will be really hard. I hope it doesn't create a depression or something. It's bad when any economy depends so much on one thing. The last time prices went up, this one guy started delivering bread with a horse drawn buggy. He looked cute in a straw hat. But once it hits sub-zero up here, I don't think he can keep doing that. Take care

Thank you very much for posting. I'm always interested in what is going on in India and the responces from your country seem to be interesting. Do you have an Imperial Gallon over there or Liters/Litres? Your govenment subsidizes black market gas or is someone steeling gas from the government which ends up on the black market? The last part of what you wrote has me all confused. Thank you for responding and take care.

You're still under $3.00? Where are you? 5 to 10 cents cheaper is really good. So yours went up 20 cents? Is that an American Gallon, an Imperial Gallon, or some other method of measure (like litres, liters)? Thanks and take care.

I'm close to Annapolis, MD - between Washington DC and Baltimore. We haven't been up to $3 since summer 2006 I think... The last couple months have been right around $2.60, pretty steady. So this jump for us in the last couple days is HUGE. I know it's going to get back over $3/gallon soon, but I'm not looking forward to it!

Strange how you can be there and I can be here, what a difference there is in prices. I wonder what the prices are in the middle of the country. If you go over 3, goodness knows, we might be 4 by then. I hope not. Take care

I know, gas costs more in areas where there is lots of snow and less where people can walk most of the year. On Fridays, gas is one price in the AM and another in the PM. It's a plot, as soon as someone picks up their paycheck at the end of the day, the price is higher. So they all plan the gas hike for when people are going home. Take care.

Thank you, Howard, I'm sure you've helped many people today. In our area, there are three places that tend to be cheaper: Buck's, Ganienkeh, and across the bridge to Vermont. When prices get high, the news does some comparison pricing, there isn't much news up here! Take care

Thanks sir. This is helpful. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Your welcome writersedge and Grandpa Bob.

Yes, we were doing all kinds of stuff like that, but I lost my job and my next one. . .. My hubby works Mon thru Thurs and I work Thurs thru Sun now. He works days and I work evenings. We can only car pool for our volunteer work, but at least that's something! He or I grab groceries on our way home. Sometimes we both buy milk and bread and other times we each think the other one has got it! (This usually happens on Thursdays) You guys sound like you're doing really well with the carpooling and that's great! Take care

Me neither, I hope there is some way we all can find to make it through to summer. Take care and thank your for responding. Take care

I'm in Northern, NY, near the Candian Border. Buck's station was still $3.15 this morning. Not sure what the others are right now. Take care.

Wow! You've got roller coaster prices. We had that in the spring. We had one gas station that changed prices three times in one week. Reg price, up and then down. It makes a person think his or her eyes are seeing things. TAke care.

I really wish more employers would let people work at home. That would help a lot. My husband's job has them working 4 ten hour days instead of 5 eight hour days. I'm working 4 five hour days instead of 5 four hour ones. Actually, it went up slower than I thought it would. A while ago, 90 dollars a barrel was reported, so I thought it would go up faster. I'm really worried about fuel oil. We have some wood chopped, but we can only use that once in awhile, not when we're gone to work. We put a new roof on last year and cut our fuel oil consumption in half, but that still could be a lot of money if things keep going the way they are. Take care and thank you for responding.

Exactly, that's the point I was trying to lead people to. I liked it way better when my husband and I could car pool and spit the gas in half. I wish someone worked where I work at the same hours. Splitting the price of gas is a big help. There is no real bus system here. It's just for people to go shopping, the hours don't go with people working. No useful rail system either, mostly cargo trains. I'm helping a friend of mine by harvesting whatever we can from the wild. Price Chopper gave away pumpkins that didn't sell before Halloween up here. That was great, I took some free pumpkins for friends and family to help out. I'm trying to combine trips or leave my car in one parking lot and go all over the place by walking. Take care

I think you're right, I think it is all over. The different speeds at which it goes up are interesting. The post from India is probably the most interesting one so far. Take care and hope we all figure out ways to save gas.

29 cents? Wow! What a wicked jump! How in the world are people supposed to budget for that? Strange the different prices all over. We are really taxed on gas up here, though. Thank you and take care.
