A year from now, we may all be reminiscing about the god ole days when a gallon of gas was $4.00.
I sure hope not.

Try buying a gallon of Starbuck's coffee. That should put your economic picture in prospective.

I'm just glad I don't live in England any more. BBC News - Petrol price hits record high
With a US gallon equal to 3.8 liters, that works out to $8.25/gallon.

I paid around $55 yesterday to fill up - close to $3.80 / gal. Now that we are retired, I don't mind the prices as much - a tank will last almost a month unless we take a trip etc.
Some of you may remember the gas lines of the late 70's - odd & even days and a $10 limit - while you were waiting in the gas line at 6AM, the attendant would just come along and collect the $10 in advance - I felt lucky to get any some days. $3.80/gal beats that.

$3.85 a gallon here locally. I burn 300+ gallons a month running for business.
1 Barrel = 42 Gallons
Today's Bloomberg = $106.10 = $2.53 / Gallon.
Refining / Transport Costs $0.60 / Gallon.
State & Federal Taxes take the rest.
I bet old Warren Buffett is pleased with his deal for Burlington & Northern to transport crude by rail instead of using the Keystone pipeline.....

It's 3.55 for 87 here in KC (give or take .07), $3.75 for Diesel and around 3.90 for premium. It's only going to get worse as summer and the driving season rolls around. Perhaps buying a scooter or a 250cc motorcycle will provide some relief at the pump...

If only there was a way to get oil from some friendly northern neighbor.

Let the market control the price.

It cost me over $20 to fill up the Harley. That is better than the truck though.
Here in the R.T.P., NC area gas is $3.73 for regular, $3.90 for mid-range which I use, and supreme ??
I feel lucky that I generally drive no more than a 100 or so miles a week. My heart goes out to those of you who have to pile on the miles daily.

It's flirtin' with four bucks for regular in south King county. About $4.15 on the west side of Lake Washington. I pretty much parked the truck and am using public transportation for work right now.....
$4.29 cash, $4.35 credit for diesel over here in beautiful West Seattle.
I hadn't paid too much attention to diesel before I replaced the gas-hog 7.4L Suburban with a 7.3L F250. When did diesel go up-side down with gasoline? It used to be the cheap fuel !

I was a LEO during those days. Every AM when I signed on I'd receive a report of someones gas being stolen. Locking gas caps were at a premium. You may want to consider that; however, the biggest problem with that approach was it deterred the average thief but others would simply punch a hole in the tank and drain the gas into a bucket. Park and ride lots were a prime target.
And the loan's will be guaranteed by Freddie Mac and Fanny May (if the Gubbernut gives them some more cash)!!
$3.39 gal at Costco here in Sunny Eastern WA - $3.55 to $3.69 everywhere else in Spokane county.
It went up-side down over here back in 2007 - that's when I traded off my Excursion diesel - sure miss it though.

Beat me to it! Still, I don't have a car or motorbike.
