Hi,

The gas prices here are going up! Today, I've seen it at $3.45 and $3.49. It is crazy! They are expecting it to go up to around $4.00 a gallon very soon!

Will the cost of gas affect your summer vacation plans? I'm hoping to go to Myrtle Beach, SC this summer. It is about a 6-hour drive. I will definately need to save up for gas! There are some other places I hope to go to this summer as well. They won't be quite as long of a drive, but still will cost quite a bit with these gas prices!

Gas prices are about the same here as well. It will affect us as a whole. My kids play baseball and they travel to some games. Plus we live about thirty minutes from a walmart, and my husband works about thirty minutes from here as well. We have resorted to car pooling, and doing with out some things. Its almost like you have to get another job just to pay for gas.

It affects so many areas of our everyday lives. I mean, we drive almost everywhere we go and it is also causing food prices to go up because of the high cost of shipping.

Yeah, the high fuel prices are driving me crazy. I think it is due to our economy being in horrible shape. It is also due to the war in the middle east. I do not think I like this at all. But I think I will still manage.

Gas here for regular is $3.18-$3.51. Yes a HUGE gap. Not sure what is up with that.


myLot reputation of 24/100. Springlady (2044)   ranked 9,430 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I don't understand the huge gap either.

I went to Roanoke a couple of weeks ago, which is about 30 miles from where I live and the gas prices there were like 10 cents cheaper than where I live.

Doesn't make much sense.

I agree! It is horrible and terrible! It is so hard on just about everybody!

I live in San Diego and our premium gas prices average over $4 a gallon right now. Our average price for regular unleaded is about $3.83 or somewhere close to it on 4/22/2008.

I had a trip to Palm Springs set up for this month as my last hiking trip to the desert before it gets really hot. But, it's so expensive to drive up there right now and my hours at work have gone down. I just can't afford it right now. I may try to get out to the desert during thunderstorm season for some photos, but it's iffy right now.


myLot reputation of 24/100. Springlady (2044)   ranked 9,430 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Oh my gosh! So it is already over $4 there! That is awful!

I believe everyone needs a vacation/getaway every year...esp those who work hard. So many people will not be able to do that until something happens with the prices!


myLot reputation of 89/100. desertdarlene (5931)   ranked 801 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Luckily, I don't need premium gas, but I can see it being $4 for regular by Memorial day. But, when I went out today, it has only gone up about 2 cents since I got gas last week, so hopefully it's starting to slow down.


myLot reputation of 89/100. desertdarlene (5931)   ranked 801 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

My favorite town in the desert that I drove to frequently has hit $4.19 a gallon! They are always higher than everyone else. I rarely get gas there because I can usually get there and home on less than a tank of gas. And, while I am there, I usually walk around or ride my bike. But, I feel sorry for people who are living there full-time.

Lucky you! The price or regular here is running between $3.49 and $3.60 with most at $3.57. Premium prices are $3.75 or higher. Diesel is at $4.50. It's crazy and I don't know how people are going to afford vacations at the rate things are going.


myLot reputation of 24/100. Springlady (2044)   ranked 9,430 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Our prices here are going up everyday. I wouldn't be surprised if I see it way over 3.50 tomorrow morning!

I was going to start a discussion about this too. Its around $3.43 here. I was wondering if anybody else is as worried about this as I am. I live in a rural area so I have to drive everywhere. Plus my husband is in sales and travels daily for a living...and long distances. I am really getting scared about this. Groceries are getting sky high too.


myLot reputation of 24/100. Springlady (2044)   ranked 9,430 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Yes it is a big concern.

There are some small town/rural areas here where people live and they have to drive a big distance just to get to the store.

I really feel for those who have to drive a long way to work!

I was thinking a while back about getting an SUV because my boyfriend would like me to drive something bigger than I do (I drive a Nissan Sentra), but I can't afford to do that right now! My car is pretty good on gas for right now anyway!

It's the same prices here.. And once everything goes up due to the increase in fuel costs to deliver everything, etc.. the prices won't go back down, even if the fuel does! I like to fly home once a year, and I'm sure the trip will be costing more!


myLot reputation of 24/100. Springlady (2044)   ranked 9,430 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Yes it is affecting everything! The cost of groceries is going up!

I hope and pray something is done before it gets completely out of hand and I'm not so sure it's not that way now!

Where I am in simi valley. The price that you pay for regular unleaded is about 3.89 per gallon. Diesel is up to about 4.34. That just pisses me off! Diesel is a by-product of gasoline. If you make gasoline, you get diesel. That is why when the first diesel engines came out, the price was so cheap. Now the price is so high, because almost everyone now has at least one diesel car at home. I used to work for the oil fields here in California. I do not know what the problem is. We have enough untapped or closed oil feilds around in the U.S.A to rival anyone(Saudi Arabia, Iraq). One of the things that I can figure, is the U.S is waiting till everyones oil is depleted before we open ours up. I have heard the stories that there is not much oil here. That is bullcrap. I have seen to much. The west and the east coast get hit harder, because we are the major import/export places for the U.S. The farther inland you get( toward mid U.S the cheaper the gas gets). Do not get me wrong. The gas prices are going up there too. It is just that if you live here, West or east coast. It seems cheaper there. It is crazy!


76highlander (45)   ranked 12,223 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Maybe if everyone can remember what deisel is to gas. Maybe we can get it back lower, like the way that it was!


myLot reputation of 24/100. Springlady (2044)   ranked 9,430 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Yes, it is unbelieveable!

I wish I could strike oil and have my own company! I would only charge like $1 a gallon!

Someone told me this past weekend that there are places in Alaska for oil. Why not get more oil from this country? I don't understand how all this works.


76highlander (45)   ranked 12,223 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Think about it. If we use up every-ones resources before we open ours. That would just make us more powerful than anyone else. The united states is just acting like we don't have the resources, When we do. it does not matter in the long run anyway. Unless we find more alternatives to gasoline. Sooner or later we will all run out.


harisadorable (20)   ranked 21,097 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

3.89 for regular is cheap yet as we are getting 1 gallon for 6$ and premium is around 7$ but here diesel is cheap 2 litres in 1$ but now we are coverting into CNG thats cheap and in 280 pakistani rupees we get arond 20 litre full that makes it around 5$ cause we have our own CH3 (Methane) in Sui (it has got a lot of wells of CH3 and acording to report it has the capability to prouce it more than 200 years continously) so its cheaper but oil and other petroleum we have but cant bring them out due to urs USA policies.

Hi Springlady, yes the gas is killing us....it is 3.54 gallon here, and expected to rise to 4.00 by June or before. I hate it!
We wanted to go to Michigan this summer, but it isn't looking like we will get to go.
We live on a very low fixed income and it is hard to save for a trip especially with the gas as it is. I would hope that it would go downn instead of rising.

Our gas is about $3.59 a gallon, and the diesel is about a dollar more or so. It is ridiculous.
