[quote=“POOPRA,post:8,topic:40030"”] I wonder if rochester is a big enough city to show up on the survey? They should have the same prices as us. [/quote] When I commuted to school and back from buffalo to rochester I used to fill up there because it was like 5 cents cheaper at the delta sonic by school. ---

Rochester, Syracuse and buffalo are generally indentical in gas prices. Canada was obnoxious last feburary. 97 cents per liter, holy hell But detroit had 93 octane for 2.45 I still say we need to cut off NYC from the rest of the state like washington DC. That is the real reason our taxes are obnoxious ---

I live in NJ about 5 miles from downtown Manhattan. Gas here is among the cheapest in the nation. I think the station by me (Exxon) was $2.81 for regular. ---

I drive 250 miles a week going back and forth to the office (fuck Lockport), which I’d bet is more than 80% of the people here. At 30mpg, thats 8.3 gal per week. At that weekly usage, a $0.50/gal price difference is $4.17 a week. If you can’t afford an extra $4.17 a week then you have more problems on your hands than gas prices. If you drive a gas hog of a vehicle, then thats your fault. If you need to drive a gas hog of a vehicle for work and drive long distances, then I can sympathize. Obviously gas prices drive the costs of most goods and services, but that has much more to do with a national average than local price variances. ---

Stop bitching about gas price. It’s the same everywhere you go. If the state don’t get you one way they’ll get you in another way. 93 octane is currently about $3.05 in Northern Virgina. Yes it’s cheap comparing to NYS, but there’s a property tax assessed on each car. ---

NY doesn’t do that? shit I could be saving myself a lot of money by registering my car here… wait no my insurance premiums would skyrocket with the accident rates here. I figured most states did yearly taxes on cars. In CT it’s a town tax which they claim is for road improvements, though that’s also what they claim about the gas taxes… hmmm At least a gas tax is somewhat directly proportional to the amount you drive, the car tax is just based on how much the car is worth. ---
