I drove by the gas station this morning - it was $4.01 for regular, and 7 hours later it was $4.06 per gallon!  :-\
That's a 10 cent increase in 3 days.

Now it's 4.39 for the cheapest regular gas (Arco)

I have to fill up today or I won't make it to work in the morning. :banghead;  I have been holding off for as long as I could and driving as little as possible.  Please let prices drop drastically before I get to the gas station. :bow;  I'm really glad I got a new car that is much better on gas but if these prices keep going up it won't matter.  It's just making me sick.  :puke;

We're being squeezed here in Northern California paying 4.49 for regular unleaded.  It was costing me $75 to fill up my little trucikmobile, but now that I have the scooter, I can fill up for under ten bucks.

Well the cheap gas that I would never put into my car because cars run like crap on it start at $4.11, $4.21, $4.31.  The good stuff is $4.21, $4.31, $4.41.

The Kia runs on the cheap gas.  Thank goodness, because my car takes PREMIUM!  I just grin and bear it when I fill the tank.

it's also illegal in the state of oregon too. it gives people jobs. another "weird" thing oregon does. federal law doesn't cover people who receive tips under minimum wage. restaurant servers here in colorado make $2.10 per hour wages. in oregon state law covers servers under minimum wage which is higher than federal

Just to clarify though, people in NJ like full serve. Anyone in the legislature who tries to make a change gets in trouble.

Britain pays the highest fuel tax in Europe for petrolium that's why the price is so high. It is presently averaging about £1.16p a litre. That's approx $7.50 per US GALLON!!!

Add about 6% on that for Deisel.
