My Mood:  Rep Power: 37 Reputation: 154  |  Price of gas. What are you paying? I thought it would be interesting, if not scary, to start a thread to track the rising price of gas. Today I paid $4.16 per gallon for regular unleaded. This is in the state of Washington. The gas attendant said they have been raising prices at least twice a day for the past week. A week ago it was under $4.00. |

My Mood: Rep Power: 37 Reputation: 154 | We went to a party last friday and the road trip cost in gas was over $25. We can affoard it and so far the price of gas doesn't really effect us. What concerns me is people/families who work at the lower end of the pay scale, their daily cost to comute might amount to 1-2 hours of work each day. |

My Mood: Rep Power: 37 Reputation: 154 | The idea for this thread came to mind when I filled up last night and the attended told me they are changing prices twice a day. She said the head office calls then in the tells them the new price, and then in afternoon they get another call. Kim, if I recall, you & your husband are in gas business. Is it really getting that crazy for you too? |
