$1.89 here in the Rio Grande Valley. I like "my" gas station because they go in increments of .05 cents, instead of .10 cents which is pretty cool cuz they're the only ones that do it here in the area. So guess I'm paying $1.79, everyone else $1.89

Gas is $2.29-$2.37 for Prem. and we only get 91 Octane! Various 76 Stations around the Bay Area sell 100 Octane for somewhere between $4.29-$5.00+

2$ here too in Orlando. This is rediculous i, heard it may be as high as 3$ by summer. I think now is a good time to invest in a motorcycle.

You Cali people have it bad. I wince when I see gas prices go over $2.00. It usually takes $30-32 to fill her up, so now I won't complain.

Chicago has its advantages. I COULD take public transportation to work and spend $20 a week, or $80 a month. As is stands, I spend on avg $150 a month on gas...So not only would I save on gas, I would put less miles on the car (keeping the value stable, instead of loading up on miles), and I could use the walk to and from the bus stop, etc.

I will probably do this in the Spring-Fall

98 Honda VFR here with 30K+. Its my daily therapy once temp goes over 35!

Wish we could legally split lanes in Ohio. But then again with the morons that drive around here...probably a good idea that we cant.

Yeah last year put MUCHO miles on the bike due to gas prices. And since its paid off....all the better.

Paid $1.759 for my last fill up in Oklahoma City.

I honestly dont think gas is out of sight. A gallon of gas is a bargain compared to a gallon of MILK ($2.99 gal here)! And isnt Milk a little easier to extract?

Yeah... Well i dont drink 20-25 gal. of milk each week. And when your paying $2.37/gal for 91 here in San Diego it almost is as expensive as your milk.
