I paid $1.69 two days ago. It was actually $2.59 but I get $.90 off per gallon due to my Safeway Member card credits.

What are you all complaining about? Yesterday I filled up at 119.9 cents per litre, which on conversion, taking into account the exchange rate, works out as US$4.54 per gallon. This was actually a good price.

Ouch!
That's why we love taking advantage of the free bus for old people.
We only put 2,500 miles on our car last year, and the first year I qualified for the bus pass we only put 2,000 on it.For a tourist the price would be $6.44 per US sized gallon.
Here in Pennsylvania, our Governor saw fit to raise gas taxes to pay for road and bridge repairs, which were well needed. Our current gas price in my part of PA is $2.79 per gallon. I have heard from sources on CNBC that gas prices "may" level off or go down a bit after the refiners after made the switch to producing all gasoline. However, if oil prices continue to rise this will not be the case.
It's not funny, but when I was flying for United-Continental, I would always check our fuel supply before takeoff to determine weight. I used to think how lucky I was that I didn't have to pay the fuel bill for flying one of these mega-planes. Our maximum amount of fuel was around 24,000 gallons, or approximately 160,000 pounds, if completely full. If I was flying, I would need to do an exact calculation because weight is a very important number in determining takeoff speed.

$2.93 here.. Down from $2.97 on Monday. We have high gas prices now because we have moved to the "summer blend"... whatever the hell that is. Just a reason to be $.30 higher than the national average.

Yes.. and airlines use the excuse of high fuel costs to gouge customers. It was interesting to me that when we had comparatively lower crude oil costs, none of that was passed on in lower ticket prices.... but I'm sure they have come up with some real good answers for that.
