E kala mai....'pake' is a local slang for Chinese (who tend to be more thirfty and frugal.....)

Is that the nicer definition because doesn't it also infer cheap and stingy?

Wahiawa, last I saw still ranged from $2.87 to $3.01 for the cheapest places. I use less than a gallon per week cause I'm still riding that little scooter I started a thread on awhile back and nay sayers said it'd kill me.

This is being "pake". I actually ran out of gas.....twice, and had to walk the dang thang to the nearest gas station. Both times, over a mile with at least one hill. Not bad, though. The little bugger will run almost 2 weeks on just over a gallon of gas. I just pushed my luck a bit too far.

Was $3.02 a gallon at Lex Brodie's today to fill up my Toyota Corolla. $25! Ouch. Not too long ago the same car filled for under $20.

You guys are killing me....I'm looking at $3.45 here. Never thought I'd see the day when gas is cheaper in Hawaii than in LA.

I really think LA is going the way of San Francisco in terms of cost of living. Seriousy, things have gotten REALLY expensive here in the past year or so.

$2.87 for me when I filled up today. Luckily I don't drive that much, or else I'd be spending more than $30 every 10 days or so.

May be time to start thinkin about movin to Hawaii (as if I haven't been thinkin about it already )

If SoCal cost of living keeps up the way it has been, Hawaii will soon be a cheaper alternative.

If I could just figure a way not to take a 30% hit in salary I'd be thinkin' to move myself. You're right though, the quality of life for workin' stiffs in SoCal is diminishing steadily.

Filled up this morning at Costco Waipio. $2.99 a gallon! I've heard from folks on the Mainland where it's more expensive, though, so I'm not howling too loud.

Maybe we need another earthq.... I dare not say the word.... to straighten things out again. I moved here in 95', just after the last one, and things were CHEAP....now, it's definitely getting rediculous. Since the real estate boom, it's just getting worse and worse. Restaurants raising their prices...there's no more cheap eats anywhere.... everything else follows the gas prices, which seems to be the excuse for the inflation here....insane.

Well....I wanna move to Hawaii anyways, so......

No keeding !!! I'm not looking forward to gasoline sticker shock when I go home.

I've taken pitchas of gas prices here & sent them to Bay Area friends, just so they know: when it comes to gas prices, Hawaii no ka oi . . . for now.

Gas in SF $3.70 at most stations. I did lot's of research on cost of living before I decided to move to Kaua'i and it's cheaper than SF. Rent is also cheaper and food if you shop at the farmer's market cheaper and better. The only thing I'll miss about the City is Trader Joes. My daughter and friends live in the OC and cost of living is like SF.
