Gas Prices.... Completely Outrageous!!! How Much Are They Where You Are???

[Sarah]

2.79 for regular here. sorry that it's more for some of you people, but it still pisses me off. it's like, one time i'll fill up and it'll be 2.29. then it's 2.49. then out of nowhere, 2.79 or 2.99. there's never any pattern to it really. it's like i just look over and bam, it's 50 cents more.

yesterday, i put in $25 for 3/4 tank (from empty). usually it's $30 to $35 to fill up from empty. sometimes i have to fill up once a week, sometimes i can make it last a week and a half or more.. it just depends on my work schedule and whether i go out of town to party on the weekends.

we should sue their goddamn asses off.

I paid 3.43 yesterday. Thankfully my work is close these days. Last year at this time I was spending about 160 a week on gas. Granted I get a vehicle allowance on top of my salary, but the price is still high. It bugs me, but I don't think I am entitled to cheap fuel. Most people everywhere else pay much more for it, and if it bugged me more I suppose I'd go buy an ugly little Prius.

Housing prices? HAH. In LA, you can't get **** for under 500. Thankfully I am selling a house right now and the market just took an upswing. I have no idea how people do it. Looking at offers though, I am seeing people who have around 100-200k in the bank, and have salaries between 80-120 a year. That's what it takes here. Life in the big city.

I sometimes think about the house I could live in for the value of mine if I were to move to a smaller town in another state. Rediculous. I'd need a staff of 3 to run the place. In Ohio, Indiana, Montana or Iowa, I could live in a mansion. But consider the location. Snow? Forget it. It was 85 here yesterday. Not happening. I'll pay the prices. Well, kind of. I bought this house 8 years ago when it was 1/3 of what it is worth now. I'll just close my eyes and think of equity when I hit traffic.

HEY! The location isn't THAT bad! Yeah, though, seriously, the prices of the mansions here are around a million... starting off. It blows my mind how much ya'll pay.

Gas over here was $ 3.15 yesterday.

As for housing, the prices over here are ridiculous. I live in a mediocre neighbourhood and there's a house for sale up the street for $ 650.000..... I won't pay that kinda money in this hood.

Montana seems to be cheap and beautiful, we might move there.
