$3.09 where I live. $3.29 where I work. But thanks to a deal with my local-chain of grocery stores (which runs its own gas stations locally as well) I can get $0.10 off for each hundred dollars spent on groceries. So at the end of the month I get to save forty cents on gas. And therefore I just got gas for $2.69.God... when I started driving $1.12 was average.

Maybe the war needs a breather, a war can even break its neck, so to speak. But the kings and emperors, not to mention the pope, will always come to its help in adversity. ON the whole, I'd say this war has very little to worry about, it'll live to a ripe old age."
Don't feel bad. When I got my first licence in July 1977, gas was somewhere around 50 cents a gallon in the Charlotte area. Six months later, the second oil shortage hit and t went up to about 90 cents a gallon. They managed to avoid going over the dollar a gallon barrier until just before the Carter-Reagan election in 1980.$3.09 where I live. $3.29 where I work.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?
No, I'm about the same, if not worse--which was something I could not imagine possible. But yet something always manages to turn up and keep things from going horrible--I don't know how I got saddled with such a blessing at this time when others need it more.

Just filled up yesterday at $3.399 (for the "cheap" stuff). All four stations out here at the end of the world keep their prices the same. We'll be over 3.50 by the end of february.

$5/gal. gas?
Not long ago someone predicted that by next year gas may hit $5 per gallon. Let's insert a forum here as to what the impact on society and economy would be at that level, and whether it would be the level at which we will finally see some of the societal changes which have been forecasted all along, dating back nearly four decades to when many of us suffered through long lines at gas pumps. Will we finally take steps to reduce auto dependency at that point?
Okay, here's my prediction. Once gas hits $5.00, the brakes slam on any economic recovery. As demand falls, gas prices crash again. When the economy starts picking up again, gas prices rise... And so on...

That's pretty much how I see it.
The only amendment I would make is to say that I wouldn't be surprised if gas at something over $4 a gallon did the trick.

Gas has been over $3.00 for several weeks now, here in Northern Virginia.

[QUOTE=The Wonkette;351111]As it has here in northern Delaware. The eerie thing is, the two stations I pass to and from work (most of my commute is freeway) have held at $3.099 and $3.119 for quite a while now.

[QUOTE=Earl and Mooch;351126]3.10 & 3.15 are the cheapest I can find at the moment, although I'm getting it at 2.90 and 2.95 with my discount card for the moment. I remember a time when getting near 2.00 was horrendous. Most of my money is going into my gas tank--which isn't good.

All you lucky dogs. Out here it's $3.49. Take it or leave it.
