What are gas prices in your area now?

I know some places in Cali are $3/gal, but in my area they are "only" $2.05/gal. But here is a hilarious sample of how high gas prices may raise:

British prices for gas are so much higher, says every British person I know. So I wouldn't complain too much about it. But it IS funny to see my parents act all like "OMG GAS WENT UP A PENNY! ARMAGGEDON!" when they see a gas raise on the news.

GAS PRICES

One of the world's way of saying.

"Hey you lazy bum. Use public transport, get a bike or walk."

In Conclusion

I don't drive... heck for those of you who are familiar with the graduated liscence, I don't even have my G-1 (the learner's permit) It's not that I'm too young or too lazy to get a liscence... I could have had my G-1 4 years ago... my mother has been wanting me to get my G so that she can give me her car... so it's not like I don't have an automobile either.

I'm just a firm believer in using old lefty and old righty.

Driving is overrated. Gas is overpriced. I won't bother looking too deep into these high prices. They are a huge annoyance.

We're at about $2.05 for regular unleaded. It's insane.

Yet another reason I hate cars and they suck ass.

Unfortunately where I live at the moment, I'm forced to drive. Luckily it's not my car and car costs. I think gas is at about $2.05 here right now.

I filled up a few days ago and it was like $2.37 or something around there. This is why I drive my car about once a month, if that.

Yep, Texas owns all once again. I paid $1.89 to fill up last time I did.

$1.89 a whole tank? And you're a dirty texan, too, so it was probably a gross pickup truck.

You should ship that off to california and start your own gas station, you'll make a bundle.

It's 2.07 for the ethanol blend right now. Diesel is even worse. I filled up one of the trucks at work today and it was 110 bucks. I'm glad I don't pay for that.

I'm not a "dirty" Texan, and I own a 2000 Toyota Camry.

And no, not 1.89 a whole tank. 1.89 a gallon.

'Round here, the average is about $2.37.

Gas here on average is about $.90 per litre so that would be around $4.00 Canadian and about $3.40 American per gallon I guess.

I paid 2.32 a gallon a couple days ago for 87 octane.

I'm paying about $2.35 for 89. I'm expecting to see $3.00+ at the pump this summer.

It's 1.99 in town, and 2.03 in the more boonie areas.

I could've sworn it was .99 a few years ago;_;

glad I got a full tank when it was ten cents cheaper a little while ago.

About 87 cents a Liter here...but it's like 99.9 in Vancouver...YIKES!

Gas just recently jumped to over two bucks a gallon here. Back in December, I knew some secret spots where I could get it for as cheap as a buck sixty. But those days are gone now. ;___;

It's going up faster than I can count. I'd be incorrect if I told you what it was last time I checked because it would already be higher. :(

Yeah, it's getting rediculous. The other day I had to take out a second mortgage on my house just to fill up my Rumble Bee.

I'm so very very tempted to spin a massive conspiracy theory with regards to the low prices in Texas and the current administration, but I believe I shall refrain.

$2-something for regular unleaded. It keeps going up. How will we be able to afford driving, soon? :(
