I went to the gas pump to day and had to pay $3.49/gallon. That is ridiculous. How in the world are we supposed to buy the necessities when gas is so high and milk is almost $5 a gallon here?
What is gas like where you live? I can’t wait to hear how expensive it is around the world.

$3.39 in Tulsa, but we were paying WAY more than that in Germany and France the past three or so years, so I am still enjoying the “cheapness” of it all. My co-worker has a natural gas car… he pays around $0.69/gallon.
$3.59 here in StLouis Missouri. One station has premium @ $4 a gal now!

Come to Canada $1.20 per litre which works out to $4.80 a gallon. Still cheaper than most other countries. http://www.organicpicks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/gas-price-by-country-resized.jpg
I have no idea what a gallon is compared to a litre but I paid $1.04/L yesterday with my 7 cents/L off from Safeway. It was regular $1.11, obviously. We always go to the 7 cents off places. Everywhere else gives 3.5 cents off (except a few stupid Esso owners) but since we buy groceries anyway we go for the extra gas discount.
1 Us gallon is equal to 3.78 litres
Here in central VA it’s about $3.45
$3.74 for regular unleaded self serve here in Connecticut today. It’s making me physically ill.
3.49 for regular in Augusta, GA, but I saved 10 cents a gallon for spending $100 this month with my Kroger card. So I actually paid 3.39/gal. Still alot, but every little bit helps!
Los Angeles, CA (Westside)
$3.93. It cost me $40 yesterday to fill up my tiny Honda sedan. No weekend excursions for us for a while…
$3.69 here in South-Central Michigan
Here in North Carolina it is 3.54 and that is on our military base where we are suppose to pay less.
3.70 I think for here on the Oregon Coast. We’re buying a minivan tomorrow and selling our 11 MPG Gas-Best of a Durango.
To fill up my van is around $75.
How about you guys that don’t live in the US? I see you Canadians are paying an arm and a leg. We must still be paying just an arm. How about Europe?
3.45 for the next hour or so until they decide to hike it up another 10 cents. In Louisiana……where the oil is “harvested” 20 minutes from our house.
It’s ridiculous. My husband and I are investing in bikes. I would rather spend a few hundred on bikes than a few thousand more at the pump.
Milk is 6 dollars a gallon here.
At least my son is young and doesn’t mind powdered milk. Double 
It’s so tough to stay on budget when my food budget is off the charts and my gas budget is even worse. It really makes us think about where we drive.
I do think that this is fueling the green movement even more so. Yay, earth!

That makes me want to know how they come up with the price.
