    I often wonder that myself... I have a 60 mile round-trip to and from school every day, I use 1/4 tank of gas every day... have to fill up every ~4 days and it cost me anywhere from $45 - $50 to fill up completely... that's around $100 - $110 in gas a WEEK... just for school, not even taking into account needing to run to walmart, or take the dogs to the park or visiting my parents... it's really hard

    We reached the 4 dollar mark a long time ago. Right now, gas is 1.40 a litre for regular which works out to 5.60 a gallon. No need to convert since the US and Canadian dollar are essentially at par. It's 130 bucks to fill my truck, 80 for the van.

    One station was $3.99 Friday evening with the rest of them hovering right at $3.88

    a co-worker has a friend who her -her husband and her son all work about 25 min (25 miles) one way and none of them can ride together - they are spending $1000 a month in gas.
    I heard Saturday it will be b/n $5-$7 by Labor Day!

    $3.77 to $3.89 per gallon around our area. Depends on the station.

    most of you are LUCKY! We hit $4/gal about two weeks ago.
    Although I filled up at the Shell in Gurnee today and it was only $3.89 though!

    It's been $4 and over for the medium and premium grades for quite a while now. I only buy the regular and the cheapest that I've seen is now $3.91. I'm sure it'll go up before Memorial Day. I fill up when I'm down to half of a tank so it won't cost me as much to fill up. I'm lucky that I don't live too far away from work and that I only need to fill up about every 2 weeks or so. I've heard that it won't be too long before gas is $8 a gallon.

    I could only wish for $4.00 a gallon we are currently paying 1,47 euro a liter which is basically 5,88 euro a gallon which is $9.21 a gallon.

    I knew that Europe usually paid more for gas but I wasn't aware it was that much! I really wish I lived closer to all of the places I need to get to.

    We are in the Tacoma, Wa. area and gas here is $3.81 and up depending on where you by it. We all need a break from the high prices!!! A big rip off...

    Well you guys still have much cheaper gas than we do in CA. At most gas stations it's already at $4.00 or higher. When I passed by an Arco gas station it was still at $3.97 which is the cheapest that I've seen. I bet it'll be more tomorrow though. My mom heard that by summer our gas prices will be at $5.00 per gallon. I'm so lucky that my commute to work isn't very far and that my car gets good gas mileage.
