    $3.19 for 87 here in Pittsburgh Pa.

    Pretty sure over 40 cents per gallon is taxes.

    It's 58 cents/gallon in PA, #1 in the nation.... 3.05 here in Erie, it's been great putting $65 a week in my Tundra.

    It's one of those things, if I need it, I need it.

    I drive so little (about 2500 - 3000 miles in the past year) that it's a non-issue.

    I'm with you on this. I need to drive and I need gas, so i don't think much about it.

    I got gas in my car today, and I have no idea what it cost. I'd have to agree with the people that never pay it much attention. I have to get it regardless.

    lol. that's like saying "I need to eat, so I don't need to pay attention to how much or what I am eating"

    Not exactly. You always have a choice of food (and the cost). Gas is what it is, and costs what it costs.

    I paid $0.12 less per litre for gas yesterday, using gas buddy. Yes we need it but we have choices to an extent of how much we want to pay still. Considering I fill up at least twice a week, I care how much I am paying.

    Of course we care. I care. But if I'm on empty, I'm filling up, 12 cent difference or no. My point was that theres a big difference in choice between what you pay to eat and the gas that goes in your car. I appreciate frugalness and I'm the same.

    $3.35/ gallon for premium here in NJ and I don't have to pump my own gas.

    They still hiked the Gas Tax tho :( But yeah, not having to get out of the car in the snow and rain is a bonus.

    I have to confess I don't pay much attention to the cost of gas either. I basically go to the same couple gas stations all the time, I could probably search around and save 10 or 15 cents AND it will cause me $48 to fill the tank instead of $50. Big savings...

    Considering in Canada we pay per litre I saved $6 and change. I fill up twice a week, so that’s about $50.00 savings per month. Yeah if you’re saving say $0.12 per gallon it doesn’t really make much sense to drive out of your way to get gas because it’s cheaper on the the other side of town. In my case it does. But gas is ridiculously cheap in comparison in the states anyhow. I can cross the border, fill up and even with the conversion rate it was still worth it.

    Oh yeah, gotcha. Yeah, your guys gas is quite a bit more than here in the US. I have been up to Montreal a couple times and always tried to fill up in New York State before crossing.

    The only people I know who drive so sparsely live in glittering cities with arresting skylines and cosmopolitan attitudes with 24 hour laundromats. I mean these are people walking around with neck sweaters. And those sweaters are pastel. But you said you live in the desert with the cacti and rattlesnake cowboy boots and stuff. I watched that movie Casino.

    I'm a homeboy.

    ..... and I've never worn a sweater around my neck. Never.

    Nah, most everything I want or need is within a 10 minutes drive (or less).

    It's all pretty much walkable and sometimes I just hop on a mountain bike to run errands.

    How anyone can adapt to commuting for hours every day is beyond me.
