    I filled-up in the small town of Minneola, FL this afternoon for $3.79/gal... it's sad that I was actually excited to find it that 'cheap'! :cool:

    "Oil Price Mocks Fuel Reality" - Good Article from the Asia Times Friday May 23, 2008 written by By F William Engdahl. This theory or information seems to make a great deal of sense..

    We just have to live with it. But thanks to out petrol duty we do not feel the byte that the US are feeling.

    They had a 400% increase, we "only" have a 50% increase. (and we use the car less)

    $4.24/gal in El Dorado Hills, CA. I was down to two pips, ended up putting in over $35 which is a new record for the Prius.

    $4.24 per gallon in Pleasanton. Sheesh! I filled it up 7 days ago and it was only $4.00 (actually $3.999). Good thing my Integra ended up getting 42 mpg on this last fill up (I love summer).

    Regular unleaded was $3.81 yesterday in Tooele, Utah. Filled up a couple of days ago and the bill was over $35. 'Stunned' is the best description of the emotion I felt as the numbers on the fuel pump inexorably climbed and climbed.

    Looks like I'm going to lose the pool. I guessed June 12. Average price of gas today is $3.987 according to article I read today. Looks like it's going to reach $4 way before June 12.

    Cheapo gas today in Modesto $4.17, the good Chevron is $4.27 for regular. I haven't filled up in a week, so in a few days I'll lay down a couple of Jacksons for a tank! I can't believe the folks still driving Tahoe's and Suburban's! I guess they are like trapped animals chewing their own legs off to survive!

    Oooh....I see $3.99 gas over by Oakland Airport, but you may want a bodyguard to accompany you there.

    Well I almost never have to cross the bridge to the east bay, but there are some parts of SF that are just as hairy as any place in Oakland.

    I 'scored' some $4.07 gas at a Spirit station near my house, and was amazed to see across the street $4.30 at a 76 ... and about the same # of cars at both stations.
    You'd think that market forces would drive down price differences on the same block!

    Quite true.

    Yeah, that is strange. I see it here where there are stations across the street from each other with a $.15 difference per gal.
