How much did you pay per gallon during your last fill up?

I filled up last Friday (08/12) morning at the Shell of corner Broadway and Hollywood. 1 gallon of V-Power was $3.01. WOW!

So, who else is getting freaked out there watching the prices go north of $3. Although we get great mileage, it's still something.

No, I did the conversion from $1.10 (CAD) per liter for premium (91 Oct) to U.S. dollars per U.S gallon.

Probably not the absolute best price anywhere, but they're usually less than most around me... they also have a good stock of Sobe & Snapple beverages.

V- Power, skokie, IL : 3.09

sad thing is when it was 2.95, I filled it up only a little bit, thinking the price would go down. WRONG!

how xpensive is your gas?

$2.66 for 89 in Honolulu, Hawaii and that was on a Military Base! 87 octane off base is around $2.70

2.79 in central wisconsin.

Nobody is shooting at me though! I will pay $10 a gallon if I have to! I'm not going to complain about gas prices in a time of war.

God bless our troops!
