How Much Are You Willing To Pay For Gas

Motorcycling, whether it's commuting to/from work, an evening ride, or a weekend ride is my TWO WHEELED THERAPY.
So basically I'll pay whatever I need to in order to keep what little sanity I have left!!!

Currently paying $1.60 a litre/ $6.40 a gallon.

I have cut back a lot on driving that is not necessary, but I do this when the price passes 3.70 or so.

I don't drive a whole lot so the price of gas doesn't affect me much.

The price of a Metrocard.... but then again those are getting too damn high too. :grumble: :grumble:

I'm currently living in Bahrain and planning to move back to the UK. Petrol in the UK is nearly 10x the price that it is here. I think I'm going to be :sad: every time I fill up the tank for quite a while after moving....

planning on walking most places if at all possible to save petrol though.... and looking at buying a small engined car that does a lot of miles to the gallon.

I remember people complaining when it hit $1, and $2, and $3, and $4
"I can't afford this"...and yet they keep driving.
Cars keep getting better fuel mileage, so price to travel a mile goes down...and really should be the thing people talk about.
Guy at work was driving a huge SUV, got 18mpg, and it burned a gallon each way to and from work.
He bought a Volt. He was in the break room telling everyone that in the first 6 months of owning it he put in 6 gallons of gas, as the battery covers everything except the last mile or 2 of his daily trip. He gets home and plugs it in to recharge. That cost him less than a $1.

I just filled up today at $4.05/gallon. Unfortunately, I have no choice as I commute about 50 miles a day back and forth to work.

In the UK we are typically paying £1.27 per litre (Your equivilent to $2.13 per litre). A gallon equals 4.55 litres, so at our price, a gallon of petrol (gas) costs us £5.78) and in your currency $9.69.

Don't worry, you have a long way to go before your fuel costs come anywhere close to ours!!!

Don't lie to the Yanks. A US gallon is smaller than an Imperial gallon. A US gallon is 3.78541 litres.

I don't pay for it.
I wait until I'm almost empty and give my fiance an errand he has to run in MY car.
Then he fills it up using his gas card.

I get the same thing, but the issue is not paying. It's about me stressing hard over whether I'm going to make it to the nearest gas station with the needle well below E.

While you might not feel it at the pump, you will see the cost of food and goods go up, so rising gas prices indirectly effect us all.

Excellent point. Food prices have gotten crazy!

Off topic, 5 years ago the interwebs where excited about peak oil, but then tight seam gas came along and the excitement about peak oil petered out. It is a finite resource really so of course it is going to go up and up until we reach tipping point.
