Only one place in town this morning under about 4.04 and it was 3.99 for regular. Hmmm......tell me again why it is we are not drilling Anwar or off coast areas or Montana etc., etc? Oh yeah, Congress!
Watched a congress critter on TV last night talk about how we need to become self sufficient but only if we use an alternative fuel.

Gas went down to $3.78 today, that's a 2 cent drop in the last couple days... the way it's been going, I'll bet they raise it 10 or 15 cents tomorrow. 
Anybody know if they make a Corvette bicycle?????

All of the political Bozos do not drive let alone fill up the tank. We the people pay for the vehicles they drive, the driver, and the gas. Face it they are so out of touch with us everyday real people it is not funny. Those oil company CEO's are livin' high on the hog and laughing all the way to the bank.Aaron1976 2008-05-23 19:57:37

I saw one station that was at 3.94 today - that's the highetst I've seen. Traveling tomorrow to Northeast TN, so it will be interesting to see what it will cost me...
Just hit $NZ 2.00 a litre here, so thats around $NZ 7.00 per US gallon or $NZ 9.00 per imperial gallon. At current exchange rates = $US 5.25 per US gallon and $US 6.75 per imperial gallon. Ouch. Have to drink less so I can afford to feed the vette still !CeeDee 2008-05-24 03:24:01

I balm democrats for this mess. Yes Republicans have there issues but this is not one of them. Demo will not let us drill for oil nor build refinery's and they think taxiing the oil company's will make this problem go away. I know wrong forum.

[QUOTE=dwright] They say it is going up because of the weak US dollar.
It is going up because it is traded on the stock market. Our friends across the water in China are using it like it is going out of style making items that should be made in the USA because our greedy American CEO's think paying slave labor wages are OK.
ON the other side of the world the Opec Nation shut down production until the price goes up. Then they ever so slowly begin to ship the tankers that are sitting idle to those willing to pay the highest $$$ or sometimes to the wheels that squeak the loudest depending on the political circumstance.
So what are our friends in Europe paying for a litre of petro?
What about Japan?
And South America?
Is it just us (US) that is getting hosed?

i paid $4.09 for premium last night. $62.00 to fill up the C5. any guesses to what the 4th of July price will be?
Paid $4.15 for 87 octane today. And that was cheaper as I drove north out of the big city. They were getting $4.39 for 87 down there.
And to add insult to injury, the next gas station I passed had 87 octane for $4.03
