Gutters are there to maintain consistency and a visual flow to a page,
correct ?
You can use pixels instead of percentages for a fluid layout ?

In the example image, there are 54px columns and 30px gutters, if
everything I've mentioned so far is correct ? What I don't understand
is, what is the purpose of gutters, or must a grid system have gutters
either way, if you remove them or not, they must be there ?
Thanks

Methinks you are making this more difficult than it need be.
IMNSHO, the purpose of a grid is to give you an underlying structure for your
site layout - in order to maintain some consistency across the various pages.
In your example, if you wanted a page with three same-sized columns, you would
define those as having a width of 306 px with a 30 px gutter between them.
If you wanted a page with two columns, one a third of the page, the other
two-thirds of a page, the first would be 306 px, then a 30 px gutter, then 642
px for the second column.
As Tom stated, you have to make some space between columns - doesn't have to be
30 px, though.
The grid system exists merely to aid you in sizing your elements.

I have a css grid question, using this image
<http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/978-grid.gif>
as an example. The 12 columns, including the gutters is a row correct
? I understand that you can span your content, or images, which must
never have a width, XX number of columns for page layout.
In the example image, there are 54px columns and 30px gutters, if
everything I've mentioned so far is correct ? What I don't understand
is, what is the purpose of gutters, or must a grid system have gutters
either way, if you remove them or not, they must be there ?
