I was filling up the van for my dad while he was getting soda at Snappy's. I was amazed at the gas prices. The total was around $56.00. Gahh! This is crazy. It was unbelievable; at noon that day, the gas cost about $2.99. Four hours later, just four, and the gas price rose by twenty cents!

How are your gas prices where you live? I live in Central Pennsylvania, so compared to our prices, yours could be even higher.

EDIT: *hopes nobody noticed horrible grammar error and corrects*

I live in Maryland USA with gas prices at 3.19, Crazy I tell you! Crazy! Why does the government torture us so? You have to FIND the friggin' oil you damn morons!

Prices in the United Kingdom are roughly equivelent to $7 per gallon.

Hooray for 11-gallon tanks that last me a month for $30.

Yeah, I know that it's really high in Georgia. I believe it's because they're so close to Louisiana, so that's where they get most of their gas. Not sure on this, but it sounds right at least.

Wow, it costs a lot in the UK. You don't drive much though, do you? Usually you walk, yes? I've never been to England, but my mom has, and she said that she did a lot of walking. ??

Gas has gotten as high as $2.99 here recently, but it averages either $2.59 or $2.79. Not even a year ago, we were all shocked to see the first $2.XX price, and just a few summers ago, there was practically a riot when it got back up above $1.00.

But, don't worry! OPEC is boosting production to help us through this crisis. And all those extra barrels of gas are.. sitting right over there in warehouses, like 90% of all the gas they produce. Yes, production is boosted, but how about shipping?

Let's face it; we all know that if OPEC wanted to, they could supply us with enough gas to get it back below $2.00 no problem; $1.29 would be a piece of cake (I still remember when that was "expensive"). But the fact is they don't want to. And why should they? They have us right where they want us; we're completely dependent on them and can't do a thing about it.

Hooray for 27MPG and a tank that lasts 12+ days for ~$40.

ahhh,i was wondering when this topic was coming...well gas prices here in nowhere maine are about 2.25 a gallon,but ecpected to go much higher very soon..and my dad has a truck that gets 14 miles to the gallon,hooray for $75 bucks a week

i lve in san jose, CA and the gas is 2.99

Too much!!! I have 2 cars, one thats been in the shop for over a year and would kill me at the pump which im kinda glad thats in the shop i dont know if I can feed a 5.0 liter V8 monster. It's my 2.4 liter 4 cylinder import and $20 bucks at the pump doesnt fill it up anymore it bearly fills it half way anymore.

It's almost forcing my unlce to sell his 5.7 liter V8 SUV which gets about 13 miles to the gallon, but uses for those ugly winters.

i dont know what it is in dollars but its about

In the UK, the Petrol cost about 91.3 pence or somin per litre.

I'm in FL, and it's around 2.79 per gallon, it's been in constant flux though...

1 gallon = about 3.75 litres
1.00 EUR Euro = 1.24822 USD
1.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 1.84280 USD United States Dollars

i just remembered when i was in egypt my dad was talking to the taxi driver and the drer said that petrol was abut 50p fo 2 gallons and in england its about

I live in Temecula, CA, and it's about $3.19 per gallon. and my mom has a Tahoe, so it costs a bit over $60 for gas that lasts about 2 weeks. It's insane.

Here in Monroe Gas prices are from 3.50 - 4.00.

My girlfriend and I use one car that way we can save more gas.

As certain people make fun of me for *coughFScough*, I live in New Jersey. Here gas prices were around $2.50 until the hurricane, now they're around $3.20 on average.

Dont get me started on NJ, I hate that you can't pump your own gas there I tell and watch the attendent not to spill a drop of gas on my paint.

When i had my chevy it was fun to watch the attendent to look for the fuel door, espeacially when i hand them over the key to the gas cap, im LMAO while looking in the mirror at him frantically searching until he'll come up to the window and ask, and i tell him to flip down the plate and i tell him not to spill a drop on the paint on the bumper.

You have to flip down the plate on our Ford Fairmont aswell. And our prices are going to be $2 a litre in christmas I think.

Why can't you guys fill up your own tank? That's a rather stupid rule I think... anyway, gas here in PA hasn't risen yet, I expect it to go down... it looks like we're on the upper end of prices for the US!

EDIT: #25!

WOW!

For now, its only $3.00. Last week, it was $4.00. I hope it goes down soon, my mom has been real grouchy lately, and I think gas prices have something to do with it, because she always cusses her head off when we pass a gas station.
