I was in Oregon this past May and the gas prices were about 20 cents cheaper than in California. At the time it was between 3.80 and 3.90, which was about 20 cents more than back here in NC. The gas stations still have full service, and the first couple of times I stopped to get gas, I got some weird looks when I was pumping it myself.

My car has a 16 gallon tank that is full and parked in the garage. I consider it an investment.

I'll siphon the contents into my 5 gallon motorcycle tank as needed.

Well at least someone is getting rich over this. I wonder who that could be?

In some places in CA it is over $5

glad to not be on the left coast...

It's sad but $4.75 will seem cheap to us probably in the not-too-distant future.

My sister lives in Warsaw. Poland. Equivalently, gas is $9.375 per gallon (2,50 per litre, 3.75 litres in a gallon.

Now THAT blows.

It takes $54 to fill up the little civic. My boyfriend has a Tahoe and what he pays on that every month we could have a reallllly nice house!

Drill here, drill now, save the economy.

People have huge investments it their cars:

Thousands in the vehicle, Hundreds in the insurance, and tens in the tank, just to get from here to there.

But if we don't go from here to there, we don't earn the money to buy the gas.

Catch 22.
