Default What are you spending on gas?

Are you still filling your tank up weekly? Or do you spend the same amount of money on gas as you did before the prices sky rocketed?

I spend the same amount and just don't drive around as much.

We spend at least $50 to $70 a week and that is living right next door to a grocery store-2 blocks from the gas station and one of us works at home full time. That's just nuts what it costs....Like I wasn't mad enough about it- put in just under 5 gallons of gas (over $20) then went to the store and they want $4.99 for 1 pound of hamburger. Shoot for that price I better get to eat it and turn the left overs into gas.

We spend $75 a week on 2 vehicles and I work at home also. So only one vehicle gets driven daily.

The rising price of gas is making everything else go up in price. Stinks doesn't it.

I pay about $4.00 even for gas (87 octane) in houston. Premium is about $4.25.

Gas just dropped here today to $4.19 a gallon. I hope this is going to continue and it will be down even lower this summer.....is that wishful thinking or what!

I spend more money on gas as compared to before. My office is far from my home, so dont have any other choice, a big share of my income goes in filling the tank.

This morning, I went over to Costo and spent about $30 to put 7 gallons of gasoline in my car. I know that gasoline prices around the country are slowly coming down, but in Utah, the prices are still above $4. We're usually the last to have price hikes and the last to see the prices drop, but at least they'll drop.
