The guys in my office can't believe it. It looks very strong with no sign of a reversal soon. We are fucked.

1. I don't drive a Hummer, but I paid $2.32 a gallon for regular

to fill up the tank in my 2003 Toyota Echo. It came out to a little over $14.00. Absolutely unbelievable. The people of this country are paying up the nose for gasoline, and The Village Idiot is kicking back on his ranch for a month, completely oblivious to it all. At this rate, we'll all be working just so we can afford to buy gas.

Heard this morning on CNN that the airlines are raising their fares $10-$20, due to the rise in price in aviation fuel.

4. It's at an all-time high here in eastern Ohio

$2.449/gallon regular unleaded at the cheapest stations.

6. Good Lord - and it's over $3.00 a gallon in California

This guy who runs one of those "cheapest gas in your area" websites was interviewed earlier today on CNN. Says that the rest of the country is either catching up to or on par with gas prices in CA, the first time that's EVER happened.

Wish I'd written down his website address, but I usually go to http://gasbuddy.com.

8. amazingly, $2.49 would be a deal

Most places around here are closer to $2.70

9. I know, we've always been behind the curve here

I'm not sure why. But we're apparently catching up with everyone else and people are not happy. Of course I constantly make a snarky point to other motorists at the gas pumps that this gawdawful war in Iraq sure didn't help with gas prices like people thought it would.

10. every time I go to the pump

I'm incredibly happy that I bought a Prius.
My last car would be killing me right now.

12. We traded early this year

I traded a Blazer and a Ford Taurus for a Honda Civic and a Chevy Cavalier. It was the best we could do at the time. There are waiting lists locally for diesel Jettas and hybrids. I'd love to have either and would trade again in a heartbeat.

[Clovis Sangrail]

14. waiting lists here as well

(for hybrids)
I was lucky and had an opportunity to buy a used prius from a relative.

Not new, but it still gets ~46mpg

[ohio_liberal]

15. That's very cool

We looked on every lot available for a used hybrid but there aren't any to be found. I didn't feel comfortable buying one online.

16. He's not oblivious to it, he's sitting in his counting house,

counting all his coins. That's what Kings do. He's happier than a pig in sh*t that the price of oil is at an all time high. More money for him and his GREED PIG oil execs. buddies. Life is Grand!

2. This Is A Jump Of About $0.25 In 3 Days, Isn't It?

If so, about a 14% jump.

The wolf is at the door.

3. never to leave

[durablend]

5. Onto $3.00 and beyond...

While Georgie smirks it up on the ranch...

[dogday]

7. Part of the new energy bill

raise the price of gas so high only the elite can afford, therby saving gas.....

[meganmonkey]

11. Too bad I get 35+ miles to the gallon

I really wish I could help out the poor oil companies some more

:sarcasm:

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I own a civic Hybrid

and going to LA for a con, will be one fourth of my expense, unfriking unbelievable... I may not be able to afford the February Show

17. CNN reporting Nasal Spray at $2000/Gal

In its unending quest to fill in airtime with meaningless drivel and inane comparisons, CNN has scooped the fact that if you're unlucky enough to have a car that runs on Nasal Spray(!) it would cost you $2000 a gallon! On the plus side they were informative enough to also point out to those of us who's cars run on Non-Fat Milk that we only have to pay $5.20/Gal. Wohooo!
