What are gas prices like where you live? Gas in my town went up 7 cents between yesterday and today to US$2.79 a gallon. I remember when it was still just $2.30... ahh, the good 'ol days. Of course, I also remember when it was under $2 when I was a kid.
Sigh. I think oil went up to $67/barrel today aswell.
Gas prices...

Maybe it'll teach you guys over there not to drive gas guzzling wagons.

It's as high as 98p here in Sheffield, average of around 95p a litre.
Good job both the cars are 1 litre!

I paid $2.52/gal today at the discount warehouse club I belong to and that is for regular, it just keeps climbing and it'll continue to get worse. I'm glad I get decent mileage with my vehicle

Gas Prices are the reason I'm going from a 4.3 litre engine to a 1.6 litre. Costs me over $70 CAD a week as I now travel over 750KM a week to and from work. With the engine switch it should reduce my gas costs to half.... for now!

It's up to $2.50 a gallon here where I live. It's getting out-freaking-rageous. If gas prices don't go down soon people won't be able to afford to drive and therefore all the "fat cats" at OPEC won't be able to cushion their butts with their fat wallets cause people won't be driving which in turn means no one will be buying gas. They charge as much as they do because people will pay it.....

Sooner or later the words global recession will be muttered, that's why there needs to be balance.... we'll all see one way or another.

.Hey. Which warehouse do you get discounts from? I get 5 cents off regular and 10 off premium at the Stop & Shop. Are you near the Hudson Valley at all?

Yes, I know you are from Canada - but you are in the United States of America now... so please speak Spanish!

One Small 4Cyl Truck
One Older SUV (1988) that consumes a lot of gas.
I do not drive the larger one much anymore.
Thinking of going propane.

I just noticed you can rate users in their profiles, and that I have a two. I feel quite honored, however I am currently striving for a one. VOTE ME DOWN!
