i just paid $2.99/gal for the cheap shit. the good stuff was $3.49...holy crap...and CBS news radio is reporting that within the week, prices will rise another $.50/gal...

$4.00/gal

Where I live gas goes for $3.85, it rose 20 cents in the last two days.

yah I saw on the local news that gas was going up like every hour, so yesterday i got out there as quick as i could to get some, it was 2.71 which isnt that bad compared to you guys, but it had been 2.40 right before the hurricane, and they said 3.00 by the weekend. I dont use my car much now anymore thankfully cause i can get pretty much anything i need or need to do here on campus, so i got a full tank that will hopefully last me through a couple of weeks. I know its kinda silly to complain when so many people lost there homes, but this is really going to keep screwing the country. Phil, forget 4.00 a gallon, im seeing 5.00 :icon_evil

I understand
its different when your young anyway
and more practical in the city

I grew up in the country
took me 45 min to get into town by car
so at that age all my friends who lived in town
could walk around
I mopeded into town
treated it like a really slow dirtbike. . .

we are just like you sooner, except it hit today. Yesterday morning - $2.47. Yesterday afternoon/evening/ this morning - $2.49. Last check two hours later around lunchtime - $2.71. And that's for regular guys. Poor me is stuck with mid-grade, the car has problems with regular, so now it's at $2.79 for me. And I fear it will cost more by the time I get paid tomorrow.
