It's $3.59 a gallon in Pittsburgh!

 

Paid $3.49 this morning...One other reason for this price surge that is getting overlooked is looking you in the mirror if you are vested in most any investment fund! The weakening dollar is pushing fund managers and investors in general to move money into natural resourses and oil futures funds where they know they are protected from the collapsing dollar and get high returns to boot! The more cash moving into these funds, the higher crude prices go, the higher the crude futures go and guess what, when added to world wide demand, you get $3.50 gas!

 

$3.73 in Arlington Wa. I drive a deisel $4.42 a gallon.

wow you calif. people are getting it hard and since i drive a truck and here its $4.34/ gallon. this country better wake up pretty soon because if the trucks stop running because they cant afford the price this country is screwed!!

 

Ccolt brings up an interesting point that also contributes to the high cost of fuel. There are more blends of gasoline than reg, mid, and high test. Many states mandate additives that other states don't. The result is that there are dozens of blends (last count I saw was over 50 if I remember) that the oil companies have to refine. The more different blends there are the more cost for the fuel companies, the more cost gets passed down to us. To add to this our idiot politicians start talking about "taxing" the oil companies more. The trouble is it will always be paid by the consumer, no matter what you are selling. I've been driving my wife's old Honda Accord because it gets 25 mpg instead of the dismal 12 my truck gets. But, the Honda can't carry a 1/2 cord of wet firewood and tow two quads at the same time.

Here in Northern Ontario it is $1.30/litre which is (if my conversion is correct) $4.90/gallon. Makes me want to drive the sportsman to work rather than the Silverado [img][/img]</end quote></div>

I wanted to do that when gas was half as much, just for fun. I love my Sportsman and my Silverado.

 

Gas here actually droped .12-.15 cents today! Several stations had it for $3.34/gal!

 

According to michigangasprices.com, it's anwhere from $3.57 to $3.89 in my city in the last 4 hours. It's usually 5-10 cents higher for me, than for my mom, 10 miles away on the other side of town.
