Today I paid $4.17 per gallon at an Arco. Name brand across the street is $4.27.  This is in central California.

In 2008 our high was $4.54.



16 days later (May 21, 2011) same gas station.....unleaded now $3.99 a gallon.

I am paying 3.99 (and 9/10's!) at my local station now.  Hopefully it will drop a little more after next weekend.

Here we pay between 3.40 and 3.65 depending on the gas station. But since i only fill gas at Costco i i pay 3.40 a gallon.

Prices just recently got better here. I was paying $4.69 a week or so ago, down to $4.19 when I filled up the other day and I think I've seen it as low as $3.99 although that may have been with a car wash.

I have a midsize 4 cyl car and have been wanting to get a pickup or at the very least an suv for a while but really hesitant with gas prices.

In addition to auctions it's always a pain not having a truck, just yesterday I needed some drywall from home depot, dry walling my garage, no truck couldn't get it home. Also when my motorcycle breaks down hwo do I get it to the mechanic without a truck.

Not to hijack the thread but just out of curiousity what are you guys driving? Do you drive a truck as a daily driver or just for auctions?

I'm suprised by hwo bad MPG is on even a small 4cyl truck like a Ranger, I think even a 6cyl 4runner gets as good if not better mileage.

I've got on '04 Silverado Crew Cab short box Z71.  Also have an '09 enclosed cargo trailer 7'x14'.  Spend $700=$900 a month on average for gas.  I keep thinking about getting something more economical to drive around day to day for the auctions, but by the time you add on the cost of a vehicle (even a cheap one), insurance, and maintenance, it just doesn't really pencil out that good. 

Was considering selling the truck and trailer and buying a car to drive around and an Isuzu NPR or other large box truck for cleaning out units.  Still debating.  I like driving my truck around, it's comfortable! I hate sitting low in a car.

It works out to around $5.30 a gallon here in southwest ontario, but I know it's a lot cheaper across the border in michigan.

7 days later, May 28, 2011, now my gas station is showing $3.87....interesting considering it is Memorial Day weekend. Friggin' gas companies are making billions in profit per quarter...gas should be below $2.00 a gallon.
