Update:..... Regular ... $3.55 usd gal.

By summer 2008 we should be @ 4.00 usd The price per gallon has been rising at an average of 1 to 3 cents per day ... plus or minus per day... <_<

So therefore since me lives on an island .... everything.. has risen due to the shipping fuel .

A loaf of rye bread is about 5.00 usd.. for a friggin loaf of bread... sheesh :blowup:

Paid $3.59 per gallon for premium in Arlington, VA...Could be worse...Shopping for a new car soon, but I haven't decided if I should take the "hybrid plunge"...

IMO take the hybrid.. it's not going to get better... I drive to the beach.. and on my way back the price has changed.. not even 24 hours..

what's really bizzare.. is before this big jump.. i was filling up every 3 day's ... about 90.00 usd

now that gas is jumping again I fill up every 4 day's..better gas mileage :o

my buddy's father is the chief chemist at the refinery.. he won't answer when i ask if they are adding additives for better mileage .. ergo less trips to the station but more profit for the proprieters.. makes sense.... from their point of view..

$2.99 in Sudbury, MA for regular... my new Infiniti G takes about 15 gallons when I fill up (usually twice a week when I'm home) but it takes premium so that's a bit more expensive...around $3.34/Gallon. On the bright side, that gas station pumps your gas, checks your oil and will check tire pressure too... old school and I love it!

Naples FLorida...I pumped Mobil @ $3.65/gallon premium as my car can't take anything else. (or so they say <_< )

Not to rain on our own parade in the states, but I guess the oil companies figure if the EU people can pay $7-$8 dollars a gallon why can't we?

I need to organize some sort of strike on gas, maybe target one particular company that is charging too much and use them as an example...Stop fueling with "______" company.

Go national with the campaign.

Rxus...you're thinking like an American. "It's all the corporations fault", etc.

It's not just the oil companies. The reason petrol is so high is that there are a lot of fuel taxes which EU GOVERNMENTS impose.

In the UK we have two -- fuel duties and VAT (value added tax).

The US doesn't have VAT, because each State has it's own individual tax scheme and Americans don't have bureaucracies like socialised health care to upkeep.

There were huge protests in the early 2000s with British lorry drivers angered over rising taxes. Added to the congestion charge one faces in Central London, and it's a wonder the art of motoring is alive in the old capital.

Of course, Americans can look forward to driving the G-Whizz one day, so that's nice.

:lol:

P.S.: In Brazil, hailed as a marvel of independent petroleum production/hybrid ethanol autos, it costs $5 per litre to fill 'er up at the State-run Petrobras. It's easy, when you only have 1% of your population being able to afford a car.
