[Macfanforever]

Will lets update this thread to today 04/09/2012 .5 years later.The gas is $3.95 today at BJ's wholesale in town.By the time we hit the road for Stevie's upcoming tour this summer.The gas probably be about $4.50 gal.I hope not.

Probably that little snarky remark that I made with the word"corruption" probably did not help matters.

In Australia we are paying the equivalent of about $6.

Here in NZ it's roughly $2.20 per litre. I guess we're paying about $9-10 a gallon.

They never seem to complain about their ridiculous gas prices like we Americans do. I wonder why that is?

Ouch you are worse off that we are...although I guess our $ is stronger than the NZ one (our $ is stronger than pretty much anything right now )

$3.77 a gallon here in Bible-belt central.

Thinking about buying a sail and turning my Trailblazer into a wind powered auto, lol!

I love you for reviving this.

We're paying about $4.15 here.

Denver, Alameda & Broadway. $3.79. Not bad, really. I only drive three days a week and take the train the the other two so I spend about $60 a month on gas. City living for the win!

I really don't pay attention to gas prices anymore since we've become a car-free household. All we have now are a motorcycle & a scooter... the motorcycle gets about 50 mpg & the scooter gets upwards of 70 mpg. Both are plenty fast to take on Interstate Highways, too. Because we also chose to live close to where we work (vs a sprawling suburban homestead), gasoline prices have very little effect on our budget.

It's time Americans started adapting to a world of higher gas prices. We're the last real holdout... our days of cheap gas are dwindling. And that's being exacerbated by Americans who think it's their God given right to drive horribly inefficient tanks which are guzzling up the world's finite supply of petroleum; yet decry increasing gas prices.

Yep. I would've rather not bought a car, but it's nice to at least take weekend trips. I try to walk or take the bus during the week. We bought a Honda Civic that's rated 5-stars in terms of fuel efficiency... so we do get quite good mileage out of it. I still hate paying the petrol prices though. Costs us about $80 to fill it, and we go roughly 2 weeks days between fill-ups. :\
