Smile How much is gas where you live?

I filled my tank up today for $1.879 at Sams Club. It is 2 cents higher at most other stations around the Tulsa area.

In Holland I pay 1.40 euro for 1 liter. That would be 1.76 in dollars and for a gallon it would bring you to US 6.20... Still feel the need to complain???

I Love Aruba Re: How much is gas where you live?

Here in Hatfield, PA it was $2.37/$2.57

Isn't it just unbelievable how, before an election, the gas mysteriously goes down in price??

bob, a liter is a little more than a quart so there are approximately 4 liters in a gallon. makes those prices very high, doesn't it?

So hold youre pants, thats 6.28 dollars a gallon over here . And a barrel of oil is the same price everywhere, it's all taxes overhere. So, if we would have the same prices as you guys in the states, i would go to Aruba twice in a year
