Last night I paid $1.60 a gallon... And the news said look for it to go higher ! Maybe $2.00/gallon by summer...
All I have to say, "Thank God I drive a Civic" and not a SUV !

I like when gas prices get up there, I like it when all of the stupid SUV and truck drivers commuting in their F350's take it up the [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

SCROOEM! a fillup for us still costs under 20 bucks and it will until gas goes over $1.80 - and thats for 300-400 miles of driving if you take it easy.

"And that aint bad!"

Gas pricing is also sodomizing us up here in Ontario, Canada. 82cents (Canadian) a litre - someone else convert that for me.

$1.35 to $1.40 is the average in Oklahoma City. My dad is one person who enjoys the raise in prices. He owns an oil wellhead company, and when gas prices go up, he gets more business.

I odnt know why but gas here is only 1.29 a gallon. Ive been to many other states and noticed gas is ALOT higher. i live in a decent sized city. Noting tooo big and now a "hick" 100 populatin town. All of you rent a gas truck, drive here, buy it from here, sell it at your city when gas prices goes to 2 bucks a galon. Thats a profit of 71 cents per gallon. I remember 2 years ago during the summer where gas was 65 cents a gallon. People brought 55 gallon drums and filled them up. Matter of fact, we have 2 of those in out back yard.

Yeah I hear you guys. I dont understand this crap. We might not have the most powerful cars out there but we can save allot of $$$ by not using as much gas and can mod them to get them up there ......

Here in Saint John, NB, where we have an oil refinery we have some of the highest prices in my area, we are paying around 0.82 -0.84 a liter CDN, last summer it hit lows of about 0.62 liter CDN.
This is nuts.

ummmm, where were you getting gas last year? As for me, I'm moving back to the state with the cheapest gas prices in the US, so I'm not worried. I still have a good laugh when I look at the facial expression of someone filling up an Excursion.

1.59-1.69 here in the suburbs of philly. the more u go to the city higher it gets. i saw a few cents cheaper when i was in nj over the boarder for about like 1.55. Not much of a break. I remember last yr when i was in nj, i saw it at like 1.00 or less per gallon. Thats the cheap stuff of course. cant go wrong with the cheap stuff, cuz our cars are made for it anyways. So i dunno why everyone buys the expensive stuff. It doesn't do anything more for ur car, there just rippin u off for the extra cost to clean the gas. anyways, hope it doesn't get higher. I should get some of those gas things and fil em up so i will have some for the summer. where can u get things like that.

Here in Calgary it's at 69.9/litre. Which is pretty good. I think we are the cheapest across the country right now. But I had to laugh when I filled up a couple days ago. There was a guy on the other side of the pump, filling up his Cadillac Escalade, and he wasn't done after he passed $65!!!![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] And here I am at $15 from a quarter tank to full!!!! Talk about taking it up the [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] I just turned my head and smiled. Then after I got in my car, I told my wife, "Man, you have to take out a second mortgage on the house to fill one of those up!"
