At the 7-11 I work at itr is 2.63 a gallon for the lowest and 1.73 for the higest. Other places are higher.
Thing about boycotting certian stations---we don't set the prices, ours was set to go up again last night--we get the little flasher on our computer and it has to go up.
Tell you what, I have been afraid to be the one to go out and change the gas sign some guy threatened me and another drove his big huge truck within inches of hitting me all the while cussing at me and flipping me off.
Hubby drives an older car that gets crap for MPG, no choice right now. I am getting a car this next week--but even it will cost me 3 bucks a day or more if the price goes up to go to work and back. We live about 10 miles out of town.
Public transportation is the biggest answer, in Europe you could take a train anywhere for cheap, and people walked, small towns still had local grocery stores so you didn't have to drive to them.
In America we have created a drive enviroment, everyone has to have their own car and downtowns no longer feature a local grocery--or much in the way of anything else, want to go to a movie, hop in your car and drive--and so on.
One girl where I work lives 5 blocks away from work, she lived right next door to me. I walked--she had to have a ride one day cause she doesn't want to walk and I could be her mother.
Now I live that 10 miles out--and have to drive, though my son rides his bike to and from work and school--and hubby is talking of doing the same.
We have to change some of the things we do and expect, not expect prices to go down.
