I topped off for $1.97 in the suburbs today. 16 gallons cost about $32. Suddenly having a gas guzzling V8 isn't that bad anymore :)

1.97 a gallon? That is amazing.. We up here in alberta pay about 79c/litre for gas! Way cheaper than the 1.40$/litre it hit this summer!

Probably pretty close, I know a lot of states were thinking about raising gas taxes this summer but most considered it political suicide with gas hitting $4 + gal, now they might try it..you know they want us to try more fuel efficient vechicles, great we do that, but guess what that means less fuel is being bought...which means less tax revenue etc...so then they are going to want to raise the fuel tax to make up the difference...in the end we still get screwed..:(

By the time CA sees <$2/ga gas, the rest of us will be free :D

Head to your local station and demand your free gas. I saw a story on the news last night that there's a station in Pasadena that's at $1.89...

The highest I had ever seen was $4.60/gal (93 oct). And to be honest, I didn't think it was that insane. Regular was averaging $4.20/gal over the summer. Spending $80 to fill up your tank was nothing out of the ordinary. I even laughed at a few people when they went to the attendant with a ten dollar bill.

Hybrid technology currently makes very little sense, and the sales of the Prius shows the ignorance. If you want better mileage, get a Civic, don't drive above 55mph on the highway (drag reduces mileage), and quit mashing the gas pedal at traffic lights.

I suppose this is all hypocritical comin' from the guy with the ridiculously gas-guzzlin' V8. Man, even I make a Hummer look good. ;)

Yeah but just think of what you can do with the extra $30 + or so a week that
you are not now putting into your tank..after a few months I see a nice new "L" lens on someone's camera:D

I'd be impressed if you saved over $30 a month with a hybrid. Their combustion engines are just as inefficient as those in a Civic or Corolla, and those engines are used when you're at speed. The electric engine is used minimally on a long daily commute, only used when you're traveling locally. And honestly, who drives an entire tank through a city at 20 mph? You save a little bit of money over a long period of time. If you ask me, I'll spend the extra $100 a year for luxury. It's like how some people don't mind spending the extra $200-$300 a year on higher octane fuel to reduce knocking and improve fuel mileage. Of course that only applies to high performance (high compression) engines. Fillin' up 93-oct in your Camry is a complete waste of money. Contrarily, fillin' high octane in your 7-series will actually increase mileage and performance.

lol

if ever there was a thread designed to alienate the North American continent from Europe:D

£0.92.9p per litre over here :p

recent high was £1.35.9p per litre for petrol or gas as you people call it

Diesel or DERV is still at the £1.30 mark and not dropping any time soon :(

still it's not all doom and gloom,
a quick question for you though :)

are you recent home destroying "wild" fires an insurance job ? ;)
