How much are you paying per gallon for gas? I paid $3.94/gallon last week.

And are the high gas prices having any impact on your business? If not, will it have any impact if the gas prices rose higher to $4.50, $5, $6?


Rehabber · Chandler, Arizona


I think I paid $3.56 for the low octane stuff. No impact on my business yet, but we shall see!

I think it's $3.84 and I have six vehicles to fill up! My deal didn't go through on my pending trade, getting rid of the Escalade but it's going out the door and won't fill that up!

You flippers with trucks better add another grand for gas. 3 months of running to Lowes will add up!


Real Estate Investor · Charlotte, North Carolina


bill's right..i have 2 rehabs about 15 minutes apart, and it's adding up...my dumpster guy bumped his prices due to diesel also....


SFR Investor · Orange County, California


$4.21 yesterday.

It hasn't had a major impact on business yet. I probably made about 20 trips out to our newest acquisition (1 hour drive) in March, but gas was still averaging a little above $3/gallon then. I'm making another trip tomorrow, but that'll be the first time in the last two weeks. Hopefully none again for a while.

$1.40 per gallon equivalent for compressed natural gas here in OKC. I don't actually have a CNG vehicle, but those Honda Civics are looking better all the time.

Real Estate Investor · Chemnitz, Saxonia


$5.49 is the fuel tax per gallon in Germany, so my car drives 36 miles per gallon in city and over 45 miles on highway, better way then a bus :).

Real Estate Investor · Southern, California


Here in Southern CA we're paying from $4.15-$4.35 per gallon!!! :badwords: :badwords:


Real Estate Investor


What bothers me more than the gas prices being high, is the geography in which the gas prices are high. Area's with more money have higher gas prices, but I'm sure they don't have higher costs. Gas prices are just under $4 a gallon where I'm at, but I can drive 30 minutes to the other side of the city and pay $.40-.50 less per gallon.

Seems a little like price fixing when none of the stations near each other ever compete over pricing.

Luckily I drive all over the city, so I can generally fill up around $3.50, $3.60.

Its $4.09 for regular in NYC. We are one of the most densely populated areas but with all this grid lock it still takes you about an hour to get around....smh. I think I might get a Vespa for the summer!


Real Estate Investor · Chicago, Illinois


I just saw on CNN that a gas station in Orlando is charging $5.69 a gallon. Highest gas price in the nation. That's some expensive gas.


Real Estate Investor · Methuen, Massachusetts


Last week I filled up for $3.67 and this week it's at $3.79 in Massachusetts :(


Real Estate Investor · Dallas, Texas


Filled the Suburban last night for $95. Actually the pump quit at $95, but that tank wasn't quite full yet. It's a bit irritating that some pumps have the auto cut off at some dollar amount that discriminates against large tanks.

Last year my company traded in it's fleet of mini-vans for Honda Fits. We're now using half the gas we used before. Good timing.

$4.31 if I go out of my way to find a low price. Within a two mile radius I have as high as $4.99


Real Estate Investor · Select a State


Here in Estonia (in North-East Europe) a gallon goes for $7. It cost around $6,5 just six months ago...

Good thing I don't own a car :)
