Paid $2.68 today. There is speculation as the economy improves and crude oil prices rise that gas could be over $4/gallon by summer.

Wow, Colorado is dirt cheap. It's averaging $3.15 here. Don't want to know what it is in California and NY. $5/gal is quite possible within 2 years.

Americans whine..because they are not aware of the world IMO.

I am happy to pay 3.00 + and I remember when gas was .99 in the 1980s in the us ,so I am aware . Wake up America !

It's hovering around $3.30 here in Cali (my area at least). But I know other countries, they're paying the equivalent of around 8 USD, I think.

About the same here in RI. But since most of my family is in England, believe me I know about the prices in the rest of the world. That's why I have a Yaris - in case they catch up to us here in the US... :smile:

i'll convert to propane or bio-diesel before i pay more than 4 bucks a gallon. better yet...remove that engine and put an electric motor and a ton of batteries in there. there's a 120v outlet everywhere i go...i think i can do it.

or better yet, get one of those air cars from korea that new york is thinkin about using for taxis. 8 high pressure cylinders under the car, and a air powered motor at each wheel....bad thing is, no heat.

holy monkey balls, i so remember when i first got my license it was $.87 for 87 octane, $.93 for 93 octane... i thought to myself.. "well thats convenient".. and a few years ago gas prices did get to around $4-4.50 for a few months. that is over here on the east coast

Unless by barely over a dollar you mean 1.60 and your miata had a 6 gallon tank, I think you mean more like 12 years. 6 years ago was 2005... :o

ive been paying about 1.14CDN per Liter... i dont know how to do the conversion to USD/gal but ive been told we pay more after the conversion.....

i edit this

Right now 1 USD is approximated equal to 1 CAD. And 1 gallon is 3.785 L. So, just take the price in Canada and multiply by 3.785 and that should give a general idea

so at 1.14 X 3.785 = 4.3149

WOW, so in canada we are paying 4.3149 USD per Gal..... lol, and u guys are complaining

Hey now! How 'about some :respekt: for those of us in the Lone Star State!

And prices in San Antonio are ranging between $2.83-2.89/gal. Houston's cheaper because all the refineries are out that way. That and no one wants to live there! :biggrin:

When I got my first car in 1971, I paid 25 to 30 cents per gallon!

If you think the economy is bad now, just wait until gas gets to $5.00 a gallon here in the US.

If everyone would give up their gas-guzzling pick-ups and SUV's, gas prices would go down, but it will never happen, especially where I live.

No Brits chiming in here? They pay far more than Canada does, we are looking at $1.18/L here, and that doesn't hurt with the Yaris. It hurts with our winter car (Volvo 245), it burns twice the fuel...

they like to start hollering about how bad its going to be so we accept it as an eventual fact. they are posting all these reports of how its gonna be $100 a barrel real soon, but in the last few trading days its gone from $91 something to $89 something. in order to do their summer profit taking they have to start the propaganda now.

the only real reason for $5 a gallon gas would be Israel blowin up stuff this spring or summer. if 17% of americans are unemployed and the other 83% are concerned about being unemployed, there won't be excessive recreational fuel burning this summer.

my cars getting 38mpg lately and my Suzuki bandit's getting 41mpg. they aren't going to hurt me that much..

I drive 20k a year and I myself am fine with the thought of 3.00+ a gallon. Its just the rest of the country who laugh at small cars like ours but complain every time fuel goes up. 2 summers ago when fuel was at $4 a gallon there was a lady filling up an excursion and it took $200 worth of fuel I just couldnt believe someone is just that wasteful. I like it when fuel is exspensive last time fuel went up I sold my old honda civic that had 200k on the odo for 3k I paid 1500 for it 2 years ago.

It's about $3.45 here. It seems like the Permian Basin always has the highest gas prices in Texas. But I'll always remember living in England where all the American military personnel had to be given gas vouchers to be able to pay for gas. So I try to remember to keep it all in perspective.

Don't count on it - oil is short all round, and we're paying the price as we're probably the last generation who will use it as a "regular" thing. The sooner people start finding alternatives, the better.

Gas has gone above $1.40/L in Toronto now. That's about $5.20/gallon if you consider the Canadian and U.S. dollar at par.

This is after an increase of almost $0.10/L in the past two days.

I was wondering what the price swings are like in the U.S.? Do you guys see the price change by $0.25-$0.30/gallon over night?

I don't think thse actual gas prices are that accurate.
I think the gas price in Belgium is at least probably $1 above this.

In the Netherlands it is making us crazy but the people who use the car the most do have company cars.

The gas price here is know: $ 9.50 for a US gallon.

I know we are not a country with their own oil but a difference of more than $ 3-9 per gallon is crazy.

Where it's very expensive, the government taxes it heavily, where it's dirt cheap, the government subsidizes it.

The price of oil is the price of oil (with some variance in exchange rates), just depends on what the ruling class wants it to cost.
