Flip,
You have it made. Here we gas up at the first pump and top off at the last one leaving the station. And by the time I get from the first pump to the last one they have raised the price again. I an really starting to believe that we may have it over $5 a gallon this Summer. A lot will depend on the tourists and if they come or stay away.

I try to equate this to something else I use everyday - Soap or shampoo. We are all more than willing to pay $3 for 12 - 16oz of this stuff, but not pay $5/gal for gas  I'm pretty sure we have a choice on the gas with all the public transportation and all, but keeping clean, I like that too much (unless I'm at deer camp) to not do it It's all relative. How much did you pay for the wax or glass cleaner per gallon to clean your car? I say we got it good. Go to England or Germany or even Canada and see what they are paying - http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lis...bal_gasprices/ Looks like we all need to move to Venezuela |

It depends where you live if public transportation is available. Here in Southern California public transportation is not really an option unless you are going to very specific places. The cities are spread out, and most have to drive a fair amount daily to just get to work. |

When I was there I really enjoyed my laps around the Island. Even in my son in laws Nissan! If I would have had the Cobra and gas was $6.00 a gallon I still would have done it all day and night . |

This kind of goes along with this thread. It is the most expensive gas station in the U.S. And it isn't in California although our average is the highest in the states.

Lucky my cobra gets 35 mpg on a run.

Doug,
That is great gas mileage and we do have it good here compared to other countries. And as PV pointed out, everything else is going up daily around here. I hate to walk into a store any more. We have the tourist problem here when times are good as everyone raises the prices out of sight to catch the tourists that come to spend a week or so on the lake and hiking. Then once that is over they lower the prices back to just a little more than they were before the big raises.

Well it seems to have leved off here for a day or two. It has been around $3.75 - $3.85 now for a few weeks for Diesel. Still too damn much if you ask me.
It is pretty bad when $100.00 will not fill up the tank.

Steve,
You have to be joking about the $10 filling up the tank. A few days ago I went over to top the Comet off as I was going into Redding and the gas gage was just a little below the full mark. I thought it would take about $5 to fill it back up and I gave them a $20. I got $1.18 back in change.

Steve,
I just misread your post. Sorry about that. Now that I read it correctly that makes a lot more sense. I want a new Boss 302 Mustang that gets 47 miles per gallon.

The STS had a half tank and we had to get gas. We have a lot lf running around to do tomorrow. It cost $48.00 to fill it up ... from a half tank.
It seems the prices here are still peeking. I guess the prices come down a little sloer than they go up. LOL
Ron,
Yea I thought you misread that. No problem.
I can remember gas at $0.25 per gallon how about everyone else?

I have you beat. When I was a kid my uncle had a station with the old hand pumps and regular was 10 cents per gallon and Ethyl was 12 cents per gallon. You could fill a tank then for about $4.

Unheard of for here, but I filled up[ yesterday and the gas had dropped from $4.13 to $4.09 at the station I use. Next week it will most likely be $4.49.

Probably because it is so common that it isn't news around here any more. Now when it approached $5 a gallon I am sure out news media here will have nothing but that on.

Did you here that Walmart said,
"The public needs to get ready for a significant price increase in their goods"
This is due to the fuel cost.
