    Looks like my next fill up will top 20 bucks. Here in the Detroit area $2.149/gallon is a common sight....a few cents savings can be gotten by the careful shoppers. Going 50 miles for about 2 bucks in my '05 makes me happy. Looking fwd. to warmer weather. What are you west coasters paying for a gallon? Others? Canada, Australia? Katmandu? :wink:
    Namaste,
    Paul

    I paid 2.05 when I filled up last Sunday (3.20.05)

    It cost me $21.05 to fill the tank, and this was in the town of Boyd TX.

    I paid $2.19 on 3-19, cost me $20.00 to fill my tank,way better than the $43.00 or more to fill up my truck. Which I got rid of to get a Prius. Oh and my location is Pacific North West, 70 miles south of Seattle. :p

    Living standard is different from other country but U.S gas price is pre-cheap.
    Here in Japan average gas is 114yen per liter which around $3.35 to $3.75 a gallon. If you want fill up Prius which run you around $43 to $48 for 14liter of the gas. I drive average 400km per week and one tank which last only 2 weeks :roll: Finally weather getting warmer and km/L is gaining :mrgreen: I hope reach average 24km/L soon :idea:

    I went to the UPS depot across town Saturday, a 25-mile trek. Near Columbia Airport the town name is Cayce. Gas there was $1.899 so I filled up. Annoying thing: I'd gone 441 miles at 44.1MPG on a tank I'd filled until it still showed gas at the filler opening but didn't spit back at me, but needed 10.53 gallons of gas this time. Not sure what was up there. Hopefully not a 'fixed' pump.

    Got 54MPG driving home in the nice weather in 'city' traffic. Down to 47MPG today.

    Reason for post: gas on this side of town has started to be over $2 a gallon. Ugh...

    For the first time in my life I paid over $2 a gallon. And what a jump, indeed. $2.179, 11.373 gallons for a grand total of $24.78.

    At least I won't have to get gas again at least until April.

    I have paid under $2 a gallon only 3 times in the whole year I have had my Prius. The price of gas here in socal is around 2.50 right now. So I am trying my darndest to get the best gas mileage I can. For one to save money, but more for bragging rights. :)

    I payed $2.19 2 days ago in MN. (Unfortunately I was filling our Jeep ($$$). That's the highest I'd ever payed, and ussually I'd wait a few days for the price to drop. But seeing as the oil/Barrel price has only gone up the last 2 months, I don't really expect gas to come back down either, so I filled. Buying gas for the Prius feels like buying a nice sandwich and drink. Buying gas for the Jeep feels like trading in my first borne.

    we lost the $2 mark middle of last week im afraid. gas was going up 2-3 cents every other day for nearly two weeks now...

    thought about filling up with 4 bars last week when it was still 1.979... should have... need to now since i just hit one bar... last i looked it was 2.059 but that was yesterday... might be higher by now.

    You blinked I think it was 2.099 last night at the ARCO 2.119 to 2.179 elsewhere in town. It can go up 2 or 3 cence from morning to night. Shell seems to be consistantly the highest. I have no idea why.

    I include the price per gallon and purchase locations in my on-line mileage spreadsheet.

    http://www.w8kc.com/priusmileage.htm

    $2.239 at my last fill! Less 5% with the Shell card made it a little less painful.

    I just paid 2.39, which is about the cheapest around this area - 2.49 and 2.59 are not uncommon prices now. Grrrrr!

    California feels the pain as well, but at a slightly different level. Here's a chart from our local GasBuddy web site. If you go to the GasBuddy link above, you can make similar graphs for your area.
