~ Outrageous ~



Welcome to PICTURE PERFECT

a weekly photo-blog

rules (not that anyone pays them the slightest bit of attention) for the newbies

Each week a theme will be posted up on Wednesday, and you are invited to put up your best picture

with that theme in mind, it should be just

 ONE and ORIGINAL,

 not off the internet,

then post a comment on this page

so that everyone can link to your page and see your pic.

By all means mention your camera and lens used!

Open that page for viewing for all...and visit as many as you can!

The entries will close at mmidnight on Friday.

Most importantly....have fun out there!

oOo

OUTRAGEOUS!




 

Probably not the best picture I've ever taken, but certainly the most outrageous!! California gas prices..the highest in the nation? Last week in Santa Barbara the prices were as high as $3.69 at some gas stations, San Fransisco's were over the $3.50 mark today!

What are your gas prices doing lately?

  1. Okay, why not the best? It's an outrage! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  2. That is definitely OUTRAGEOUS! Our gas was higher last week---it's $2.99 now! Come on over! lol

    ReplyDelete
  3. Gas is about $2.50 per gallon here in Mexico, and Diesel is less than that. :-)

    Anyhow, I'm off to the big city manana for car repairs, and wanted to get my entry in. I had to go digging for this one, but found it without too much trouble. Here you go: http://zorra5.multiply.com/photos/photo/8/4

  5. I think the choice of theme for this week is absolutely outrageous! Kidding....!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I have found that sometimes the best uns aren't the most artistically based ... panache' counts for a lot! .. I'm looking!!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I buy premium and am forking over $2.93 for the Baby Grand - markets say it should hold there (on the east-central JawJa plat) through Christmas .. YAY

    ReplyDelete
  8. LOL, Heather... I love the theme... this could get very outrageous indeed. And being a So. Cal. resident... I feel that pinch in your theme photo. Ouch. LOL

    Mine will be up on Friday... and I'm looking forward to visiting all the outrageous entries.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Ouuuccchhh ... totally OUTRAGEOUS !!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Holy Crap!!! And I have been having a stroke because our prices are currently at $2.799 a gallon. Just a few weeks ago it was up to $3.00. UGH!!! Luckly Perry's vehicle gets over 40mpg and mine gets almost 30mpg.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I threw up a quick one and I literally mean "threw". It was "outrageous"...Nite and love ya.

    ReplyDelete
  12. hmmm now to find an outrageous photo in my many many many!!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. What do you mean, "No one pays the slightest bit of attention" to the rules? I go beyond the rules - of course that means posting late.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Holy moly! I thought our prices were outrageous, and Canada (which I travel to frequenlty) is $.97 a liter (equals up to almost $4 a gallon).

    ReplyDelete
  15. the pic is out of focus simply because I was so outraged, and my hand was trembling a little..*wink*

    ReplyDelete
  16. Cute avi with the Santa hat, BTW.

    Mine's up!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I paid almost that much today I think someone is price gouging somewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I paid $2.92 yesterday. When I was out in Cali in April/May we paid the $3.50. I don't miss it.

    ReplyDelete
  19. wow, outrageous indeed! We are currently paying between 2.99 and 3.09 or so right now. I'll have to keep those Cali prices in mind when I'm cussing at the gas station! LOL

    I'll have mine up tomorrow night or Friday am---I already know what I'm posting! I thought it was a hard theme this week until I thought about it for just a little while, then I realized I definitely have a good picture to share! :)~

    ReplyDelete
  20. oooo, did you change the rules? Like the entries are open from when you post until midnight Friday? hmmm...

    ReplyDelete
  21. I hope that these prices indicated above are per gallon and not per liter?????
    We are about to have a petrol price increase, which will send our fuel price to : R 7.32 per liter (roughly the same for unleaded, leaded, diesel)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hahahahaaa - I don't really feel the effect of the fuel price increases : I PUT IN R200 EVERY WEEK, RELIGIOUSLY - nothing changes - giggles

    ReplyDelete
  23. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha.... Excellent!

    ReplyDelete
  24. PS.... If you had to see what we pay this would look even more outrageous!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hmmm... it would be a fun counter post to yours... I need to fill up but as you know there are no advertising boards of fuel prices here..... Maybe a pic of the pump and what I pay... I will see what these guys allow, you just never know with this lot! :-)

    mine is up. I guess I just wanted to get a jump start this week! It's technically Thursday, so I'm only a day ahead, right? LOL

    :)~

    ReplyDelete
  27. Mine is up!
    The 'push-a-line' prices here in SW Jawja are hovering at $3.00 for reg, and $3.20 for premium. Interesting to note though that the gas terminals and main oil company is in my hometown that supply this region and prices here are on average ten cents per gallon higher than everywhere else they deliver to...including across the state lines into Alabama and Florida! These 'hometown' folks are a might greedy.

    ReplyDelete
  28. LOL, sorry about that! hehehe

    up till tonight, I have very faithfully stayed with posting my entry on Friday.....

    ah well! :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hi! This is my first time here. Though the theme is a bit tough for me because all my photos are mostly happy thoughts, thought I'd give a try!
    Btw we have the same gas price problem here too! It's definitely outrageous!
    Thank you for hosting!

    ReplyDelete
  30. mine is up too,

    and i am well aware of the prices, as i burn about 900 gallons a week.... i drive a semi around the country, and what yours doesnt show is what i have to pay, just to get your lettuce, whipcream, or dishwashers to your favorite store.... diesel.... a biproduct of gasoline.... $3.88 a gallon is the highest so far, and i get 5 miles per gallon

    ReplyDelete
  31. yes..that's outrageous....I can get it 3 blocks away for $2.95....these people used 3000 gal in thirty minutes

    Thanks for letting me know, Heather... I was here before but your picture wasn't so I wasn't able to leave a comment. Here is less than 1 US$ , I THINK.... I don't drive so I'm not that sure...

    Ok, it's Thursday night here and mine will be up on Friday noon... so it's also Friday everywhere else... I have the picture ready and am thinking on how to make it a 'nice' rant... LOL

    See you soon!
    PS: I looooooove your new profile picture!!! *smile*

    I will come back and edit this comment of mine by posting the link to my take once it's up... Thanks, Heather!

    I'm back.... *chuckle*

    ReplyDelete
  37. Beforehand I want to say sorry, my photo might offend some people, but I can not think anything more outrageous than this in my photo collections.

  41. YIKES! I was complaining about Michigan's gas prices but after seeing what you are paying I will keep my mouth shut...I paid $2.88 this morning. I just posted my picture.....

    ReplyDelete
  42. I would have to agree on your post here about being OUTRAGEOUS gas prices! That's for sure!

    I'm up, it's more the story then the photo and it was for good cause ((LOL)) ... Sorry but I have no clue what camera we used ... It was a year ago and nothing of vaule!

  45. Ours are $3.09 in some places and I am sure higher in others! It is really ashame!

    ReplyDelete
  46. There's a little gas station in the Markleeville, CA area (just over the border from us) where the price is now $4.69. Outrageous indeed! I don't have one up yet .. hoping I'll be able to figure something out in time for Friday! Excellent choice for a theme.

    ReplyDelete
  47. well... that IS outrageous! I paid 3.17 in Maine the other day! It's just stupid, when they make such great profits too! grrrrrrrrrrr... Anyway, mines up if you're interested! lol... Have a great one! (mines more comedy than a good shot, it was taken as I was driving! lol)

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think it's all over the world now.
    In my country, the gas price is far from "wallet-friendly" nowadays.
    Too bad there's nothing we can do about it.
    Except if we wanna do the "Bike To Work" thing.
    But with the unfriendly weather, bad traffic jams, and air polluted everywhere, I don't think I'd like to buy a bike anytime soon.
    Maybe we just have to limit our trips around the city, but that's not an option either, we need to buy foods and other staple things.
    Oh well...just pay it, and let's have more fun in this holiday season.
    (^o^)v

    ReplyDelete
  49. WOW what a ride LOL I have enjoyed the trip so far. Hope I haven't missed anyone but some were set to private sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Wow! I'm paying about $3.01 a gallon. I don't envy the price you're paying, hopefully it stays on your side of the country. lol

    Mine is up (whew...I'm not late this time...lol), but I'm still at work so I'll visit blogs tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Mine is up.. Our prices are just now coming down. I dread the day they go back up again over $3.00. Yikes!! I only get $115.00 a month to live off of, so that's getting pretty high when I see gas prices like that. Yikes!! lilangelwolf

    ReplyDelete
  52. LOL... not that bad in Indiana... I haven't seen gas higher than $3.19 yet... mine is up too...

    ReplyDelete
  53. Omg....I totally cringe when it passes the $3.00 mark!! I remember cringing when it passed the $1.00 mark in the early 90's!

    Mine is up (first time in weeks)...not sure it totally fits, but I tried :p

    ReplyDelete
  54. You winging lot! Ours has just gone over £4.50 a gallon. What's that? $9 a gallon? I'll give you $5 for yours if you send me some! Hehe.

  62. Wow, is everything that expensive in CA? Gas is only $1.89 here. And, I'm totally lying! I think it is about $3.09. I can never tell, since it is hard to see clearly through the tears.

    I'm up. Here is my PPF: http://samadri.multiply.com/journal/item/24/Picture_Perfect_-_Outrageous

    ReplyDelete
  63. Gas here in Ravenswood, WV is at the lowest it's been in quite a while...it's $2.85!! Great choice of pic for the theme this week, Heather! That's definitely outrageous!!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Gas prices suck here in Washington State too! They are completely outrageous! Mines up too.... Take care!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Mine is up !!!!! Gas here is around 1.08 a litre so that is 1.08 x 3.7 = 3.99 a gallon so gas here is more expensive even !! There is a little difference in the dollar so I am not sure exactly , I think the Canadian dollar is 2 or 3 cents higher not a huge difference there. I might be wrong in all of this but again I maybe right lol Do I sound like a Billy Joel song now you may be right I may be crazy ...... forgive me it's after midnight I'm a bit loopy lol

    ReplyDelete

  72. Hei there Heather and the PP Gang

    That is quite outrageous all right, but still cheaper in here!!
    Keep so well and safe. Rii :)

    Mine's up....

    ReplyDelete
  73. I refuse to talk about gas prices, on the grounds I'll get my arse kicked. I fill my tank so infrequently.

    As I back out of this commenting arena, I'll leave you with my Outrageous link. It's quite something... if I do say so myself. Picture Perfect - Outrageous

  74. Goodness this page must be a full time job by now!! ~grin~

    ReplyDelete
  75. Up in Canuck land, our price per liter (4liters=1gallon) is at $1.06... so that's $4.24/gallon... definitely MORE outrageous :(

  77. That price is definitely ridiculous. Here they run most cars on alcohol and man... it stinks when the car isn't maintained... like rotten eggs floating down the road. Now *that* is outrageous!

    I posted... it was a frustrating quest for a photo this week. Click here

    ReplyDelete
  78. Petrol prices are outrageous everywhere, aren't they? Here in Belgium we pay 1.400euro/L. But it's stimulating to find other solutions...My pic is posted!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I thought the unleaded plus was $31.49 because of the space, lol!

    In our area of CT regular is about $3.09 at most places.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Our gas across the street is now at $4.08 an American gallon. But they disguise it by calling it $1.09 a liter. Can't fool me.

    ReplyDelete
  81. One of the most outrageous priced things for sure!

    I have posted (twice I think ~ lol)
    And like I said work gets in the way of life ~ will have to do my fun and visiting Sat. & Sun.
    Everyone have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Mine is up and is not.
    I'm breaking all the rules.... there isn't even a picture in my post. But enjoy anyway!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Good pic for outrageous!! That's unbelieveable. Ours is a dollar something a litre. Haven't checked lately. Mine's finally up.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Alright, this was hard but I'm done: http://thymekeeper.multiply.com/journal/item/63/Picture_Perfect_Outrageous

    I don't even want to talk about the gas prices; someone is conning us somewhere. Your gas price pic, I think, is absolutely perfect for the theme.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Hi...love your pic..it certainly is outrageous....Mine is up....hope you enjoy...have a great weekend!! xo

    ReplyDelete
  86. My gas prices are around exactly the same. It is outrageous!!

    ReplyDelete
  87. The price of fuel here is over the roof and yes just as outrageous. I think my post is working now and it is outrageously provocative...

    ReplyDelete
  88. Thank you Heather this was a great topic. Gas prices have gotten out of control. I look forward to next week's topic what ever could it be? Mine is up. All are welcome. Be forewarned it truly Outrageous and I am not held liable for any permanent damages resulting from viewing! http://crabbyman.multiply.com/journal/item/61/Outrageous

    ReplyDelete
  89. BTW, I'm glad I don't live in CA. I thought our gas prices were bad. So far they are pretty much staying below $3.00.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Have you noticed how much prices vary within a few miles ???? ours is running 2.95 to +3.40. Anyway, finally got mine posted:

    Did I just never notice the "audio" reply option or is that part of the upgrade?

    ReplyDelete
  91. yes.. very much so outrageous!!! but i guess i won't know lately.. as i don't get out to pump my own gas... it's too bloody cold!!! lol mines' up too!!

    ReplyDelete
  92. hold the phone!

    i am supposed to post a picture that i personally snapped....me, myself, and I??

    not sure i like the sound of THAT.

    ReplyDelete
  93. You're complaining about paying 87 cents for a litre of gas! [We call it petrol by the way].

    Here in the UK one litre costs us £1.04 per Litre and with the exchange rate about 2:1 that makes it $2.08 per litre, that's $8.16 a gallon ...

    Are you still whining? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  94. OMG that is outrageous gadget!!!...*shuts mouth*
