NBC and AAA reporting $4.00 per gallon gas

Rangerdavid · 11-06-2007, 07:07 AM

Just saw the headlines on the "Today Show" this morning. They are doing their reports on the environment from the North Pole, Antarctica, and the Equator. One of the Items reported on was that $4.00 per gallon gas is on the way!! Yesterday, I saw some guy driving a big 4 door full sized truck, new, off the lot.

What are people thinking? Don't they know gas prices are going up? That think would cost $75 bucks to fill now, let alone if prices increase.

Anyway, $4 per gal. gas is the only way I'd ever pay $40 for a fill up ( in my Prius!!)

I'll try to keep the smugness under control........

Some people actually need those big things you know. About 10% of the owners. In other parts of the world people still drive 2.5 tonne 4X4s around even though petrol is well over $4.00 per US gallon here it goes as high as $5.00US a US gallon, Europe is higher.

A fill up on my prius is already the equivalent of $65

i hope prices go down to 50 cents a gallon

It's just passed £1 per litre here, or £4.54 per UK gallon = £3.63 per US gallon = $7.33

Is that right?

1 pound per litre x 3.78 = 3 pound 78 pence per US gallon
3 pound 78 pence equals $5.50US per US gallon

If money is no object then $4.00 a gal will not matter to some people who drive big cars.

In the S.F. Bay Area, this is the second time this year that gas prices have bumped into $4.00/gallon territory.

£3.78 = $7.89 on that converter

£1 is currently worth about $2

I wish the price would go up to $4.00 gallon today by adding an additional $1./gallon tax which would go to subsidize mass transit.

Did you vote yet today?!?
