Whats the highest price you've seen so far? I believe it's about 4.10 here and could be over 4.50 soon. I think I may start to walk and ride my bike more haha.
 
I'm going too... Sorry, I can't concentrate with you wearing those glasses.
 
^LOL 😛

Yeah, its outrageous. I don't know how the conversion works out exactly, but north of the border it was 1.42/Litre the other day... quite sure that's pricier even. Just in time for the long weekend and summer too, wouldn't you know :sowrong:

You Canadians! Always with the goofy numbers. 😀

Here we have gone as high as $3.99 a gallon.
 
Here in Norway the price for gas is about 2.70 Dollars....for ONE LITER!!
One gallon is about 3,7 liters.

So...prices here in Norway is about 9,99 dollar for a gallon!

Pretty bad for a country that is the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas per capita outside of the Middle East 😛

Man! That is crazy dude. Maybe we shold not complain so much.
 
It's $4.00+ in some areas and I've seen it as low as $3.85 in Massachusetts what pisses me off even more is that the oil companies are saying that they are making record profits ( talk about gloating ) well if thats true then lower the gasoline prices so I wont have to pay more for gas than the average household bills. I make $13.25 an hour and i dont want to work just to fill up my gas tank I have other bills to pay
 
I've seen it anywhere from about $3.99 to $4 and change here in Baltimore. Unacceptable. :ranty:
 
$3.79 to $3.96. Depends on what part of Austin you are in. It's always a little less expensive south of the Colorado River and east of I-35. Why? I have no idea.
 
Dont worry pink, gas prices will not prevent me from driving down there to tickle you. :hello:
 
I paid $4.35 today, thank you CT for taxing the hell out of everything .. thank you oil speculators for proposing there might be a shortage of crude oil that is constantly being produced under the Earth .. thank you hippies for not allowing the construction of oil refineries .. and THANK YOU Big Oil for cashing in on the stupidity of the Human Being. I present to you, your Emmy.
 
It's $3.89 here. There are rumors that it's supposed to drop some more by Memorial Day weekend. :shrug:
 
I make it up by paying $2.00 for a 12 oz Diet Mountain Dew!

I last paid $3.98 per gallon. I am old enough to remember when "gas wars" were fought between competing stations to lower prices and not between competing countries to..........WTF? I also remember the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970's and how America was going to become less dependent on foreign oil. And 40+ years later.........................? Even Jimmy Carter had some good ideas on energy that were scrapped by the Reagan administration. I guess when gas prices go down the supposed $0.50 per gallon, we are supposed to be happy? It's my fault for being a hillbilly that is not sittin on a pool of oil.
 
Except for the other countries, the rest of the posts seem rather cheap.. Here in California, it is like $4.40 a gallon for the cheap gas!
 
There is a place near me that has diesel for 9.99 a gallon. Thank Bob I didn't go with the VW diesel engine that I wanted when I bought my last care (when *gasp* diesel was the cheapest option) I think I'd be in tears everyday. I'd bike it to work regardless of distance or weather haha
 
3.79 here in Pittsburgh.

To comment on something said above...the sole blame for this is on Wall Street speculators. Not the president, not the hippies and not as much of Big Oil as you'd think. (Although they share a lot of the blame.)

We have plenty of oil refineries. refineries aren't the problem. And no "hippies" are stopping it. Since the BP spill, when the gov't said that safety equipment and regulations would be overhauled before giving new licenses to drill....they've given out 14. That we know of. Since Rachel Maddow broke the story on how new drilling is being approved with the safety standards from 2007 still in place...the gov't stopped announcing the new licenses. So, how many have been given since, no one knows.

Plus, just drilling for more oil doesn't make one small impact on price. You need to understand something. Just because we get the oil from the Gulf, Texas or Alaska...does not mean it is ours. It gets traded on the global market as a commodity. It doesn't just stay in the US. We don't keep it.

There's no shortage, either. No one argues this...not either party, not Wall Street, not the oil companies or OPEC. There is more supply than demand, this is accepted fact by everyone. Even removing the billions on subsidies (corporate welfare) that the big 5 get, that would (while helping our "spending problem") would only affect gas prices by 3 or 4 cents.

70-80 cents on a gallon is by inflated Wall Street speculation. The price is artificially inflated. There IS an organization that's in place to control and oversee ridiculous and even illegal speculation, the House Republicans and most in the Senate manage to keep blocking any funding for it. THAT would be that darned old "big government" they don't want...those regulations that keep greedy people from doing greedy things. So, until that changes and Wall Street is actually regulated...all of us, no matter what party you belong to or who you believe, will continue to pay 4,5 then 6 dollars a gallon for gas. The president and even the oil companies have little control over it.
