Current gas prices in western suburbs of Chicago

[69mach351w]

C'mon $4.00. C'mon....
Eat less, buy more gas. Less body mass means you go faster. It's all about power to weight ratio.

$4.00?  Richard, looks like $3.64 to me

It 'tis.  But like a gambler I am rooting for $4.00 in the most pessimistic and sarcastic of ways. Will likely be $4.00 before this year is out.

Yea, but $.36 difference is equal to approximately 1 pint of gas and if your car get 20MPG, that like getting to drive approx 2.5 miles per every 20 miles. That would be a "bunch" of miles between now and 12/31/21.......
Lol, but I'm being sarcastic now

$3.19 here. BUT...

Don J, what is the average hourly wage there?

About $20.00/hour.  Median price for home just hit $1 million.  But we don't have to buy winter clothes or heating oil so can run Shelbys year around with the money saved for fuel.

Alright, alright,  alright so sorry if I offended the Starbucks crowd.

Let's do water, if you buy H2O at $2.59 A bottle or just 10.9 cents an ounce and convert that into one gallon, that's only $13.95 a gallon for smart water

Now that's not very smart compared to $4 a gallon of premium gas for your car

And if you think $4 a gallon for gas is bad, just wait.....

Drink gasoline instead?  Yum.

My water a gal is .88 cents...?

I will add that when we moved "here" gas was 1.52....one year later 3.19 I dont know how you want to justify it or what you want to call it, but there is something wrong and if you cannot see it, then....I better just shut up.

$12/hr avg here.
Probably why our gas is cheaper than yours.

It all averages out

[FL SAAC]

Current cost of a gallon municipal water coming out of the faucet is $2.09

88 cents is one heck of a deal

Speaking of high prices, we were at the grocery this week-end and I just happened to see the sign over the customer service counter...Marlboros $7.95/pack!  Wow! 40 cents a smoke...So glad I gave 'em up 40 years ago.

Yea, but if you smoke the cheap cigarettes where the tobacco is swept off the floor, you can smoke for 1/3 of that price

With Thanksgiving just around the corner,  let's talk turkey:

"This year, turkeys have been selling for $25-$28 per bird, compared to $13-$15 in 2020."

Good time to be a prepper.

Never smoked, and cannot imagine it.
