We're at $1.28 here. I don't idle the car much any more.

Oops ... $2.28. Sorry ... just noticed that. I wish it were $ 1.28. IAKG (below) was right.

I'm thinking DB may have had finger dyslexia or something this morning--or I'm moving to where he lives.

Can I interest you in a UK gallon of gas?

£3.58 per gallon or 83p per liter. This translates to (£1=$1.87) to $6.69 per gallon.

So whats you all complaining about?

Yikes! That's awful!

Kleclere drives 1 hour, 20 minutes to and from work each day--about 60 miles one way. It *does* begin to hurt.

Plus when you add in all the insurances and taxes over here, it get more and more expensive.

I prefer to live a little dangerously, I cycle everywhere in this city. And if I can't, I take a bus... I've never learnt how to drive, and don't intend to start. I've never caught the bug.

mechanic But I cut out a Toll each way & soon became head mechanic of the
new place.In NH,commuting in the winter sucks.You just have to have
confidence in your abilities.As far as the price of gas goes,you have to buy
it anyway.Like anything else,complaining about it,makes no difference so just
go wih the flow & keep your vechicles tuned right. Irish

Proud to say the city I live in has the most expensive in the state.......average cheap stuff is $2.45.

I know up in Canada liters are going for around a buck.......they're really getting hosed.

But if we did'nt complain about we would'nt be human.

Public transportation is almost an unknown word in Iowa, and, Irish, so are jobs in certain sectors. Believe me, kleclere and I have searched for MONTHS (Cheyanne, jump in here anytime ) for something closer, even at a lower wage. Fortunately, he drives a pretty fuel-efficient car, but it's painful, no matter who you are or how far you have to drive to make a living.

Unfortunately, gas prices are one of those things over which we, the consumers, have limited control beyond carpooling, unnecessary trips, or "frivolous" driving.

$2.38 for a gallon of regular in MS and thats the low side, depending on where you go it gets up into the $2.50+ range. Hubby was saying he heard it would be over $4.00 a gallon by the end of the summer.

Now I know how my parents feel when they say "when I was a kid you could go to the theatre on a quarter." When I was a kid you could fill up your car with a 10 dollar bill.

Regular was $2.20 here! Geez, I almost went into cardiac arrest when I had to pay for that!

Which by the way, my car gets HORRIBLE mileage. I fill up two times a week if not more. It could be a lot worse though. My mom's new car gets something like 16mpg highway

I might add, I can go across the state line into Georgia and instantly get cheaper gas
