Originally Posted By DyGDisney Yea, I paid $3.29 in Sacramento Valley. That was for regular, super was cost an arm, and premium cost a leg! I'm figuring gas for our one day trip to cost us $200.00 from Bay Area. Good thing BoyStory and I are splitting that cost.
Originally Posted By kgourl Wow, just as I suspected. I hope that gas prices are at their high. I can't imagine them being any higher. We bought a Yukon so we could fit everyone for our trip down in August. I'm planning on $700 for gas -compared to about $250 in my Mits. Lancer Oh well, its still cheaper than flying. Thanks everyone for the information, it sure is appreciated and will help with the cost planning. Kim

Originally Posted By kgourl Thanks alexbook, that is very interesting information, not surprising either. ABBY, thanks for your information, I'll make a note of it. I plan on mapquesting our trip just to give the kids something to look at and follow as we travel. I'll make a notation. This is such an awesome board, I knew I could count on everyone to help me out Kim
