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

[BitsyNaceyDog]

We paid $3.80 yesterday.

A steady $3.99/$3.98 around me.

Now it's up to $4.04 a gallon today 5/22/08.

$4.09 today...up from $3.93 yesterday
Seems to be the average for around here too.
I'm really glad I can put a couple of gallons in my car and go for a week or two lol.

And back in the 1990s when gas was much cheaper.. I wish.

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.

We hit $4 a gallon a couple of months ago but it came down quickly. Now it's around $3.79 a gallon. I use my Giant Eagle card and, by the time I'm ready to fill up, I usually get $.80 or more off a gallon because of the $.20 per gallon discount. Sometimes I fill up nearly for free. I don't eat out often and I entertain a lot so I cook a lot and that gets me more gas perks.

Vespa opened a shop here about a year ago. Business has TAKEN OFF in the past month for them!

[Pembroke_Corgi]

The cheapest here is around $3.65/ gallon. I always buy the lowest grade, so I have no idea what the other kinds are- way more expensive I guess!

Please correct me if I'm wrong but don't also overseas they pay certain taxes with their gas, like I know in MO you get lower gas prices since we have to pay to license and title our vehicles when we buy them, but my understanding is that in other countries you don't have to pay to license and/or title your car but pay for it through gas instead?

If that isn't the case then I have no idea where I got that then lol

Oooh, or in some places they don't have to pay personal property tax but instead pay higher gas taxes to make up for it? Maybe thats what I'm thinking of. I believe that is in the US though, some states you don't have to pay personal property but pay higher gas prices.

The taxes on gas have nothing to do with other fees in the state. High service/high tax states have high taxes.

Im MA, for instance, you pay sales tax on the vehicle on purchase, annual excise tax to the town on the value of the vehicle, gas tax, property taxes, sales tax on the gas, and annual registration fees.

In other news related to gas prices, the idiots in Congress are going to try to sue OPEC.....

Guys, here's a hint......if the entity doesn't exist within your borders, you're going to have a tough time even finding a court to take the case.

They walk among us............and in this case we've elected them to leadership.

Time to clean house.
