How much is gas these days in Cincinnati?

I just had to pay $3.95/gallon in Tampa for Chevron premium. My car doesn't want t run on anything else it seems. If I weren't making $50k yr I couldn't afford to drive all the way to Tampa everyday...

About $3.35 around here. Well, that was yesterday, so I have no clue what it will be today. Even if it is all liberal, I'm happy to live in a walking neighborhood.

We're heading south on the bike a week from tomorrow; it will be interesting to see the prices.

The same grade of gas was $3.65 in Pinellas over the weekend, Tampa is always higher but my tank was low. Will be going up all summer they say...

I get almost 30 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway in my yaris, plus I use my 10 cents of a gallon thingee so I'm not taking as much of a hit as some.

Just think about this. If you get 20 mpg now and you move into a "just for example" a new corolla which gets 27 mpg in the city you get 7 more miles per gallon. Lets say you use 40 gallons of gas per month now. That same 40 gallons will get you an extra (40 X 7= 280) 280 Miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats pretty significant.
And with a prius! 48 mpg in the city, 45 on the highway you could go an extra (40 X 28 = 1120) 1120 miles further on those same 40 gallons of gas. Less trips to the pump means less opening your wallet to pay for gas! And, in theory, the less we use the cheaper it should become to buy gas!

It's a win win situation! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]
