I payed $3.35 a gallon in gas today.

And honestly, I don't think I have a sustainable way to afford gas if it continues at this rate, let alone even higher. Anyone else feeling the hurt? I know pundits like to blame the uprisings, but we all know who really is at fault.

This is why I don't have a car...

Although here we're fearing a rise to $1.7 per litre, which doesn't seem so bad comparatively.

Like Terry said, compared to us that is a massive bargain. Its around £1.30 a litre here. Which is about £4.90 a US gallon which is roughly $7.90 USD.

$3.35 per gallon? wow, that is cheap. The price is at around $5,67 the gallon here.

When I first started driving, gasoline was 24.9 cents a gallon. They checked the air in my tires, pumped the gasoline for me and cleaned my windshield.

One day you will be bragging that you used to buy gasoline for 3.35 a gallon and be wishing for these days again.

My concern is that if we have too much inflation, the Fed will raise interest rates and we will slip back into recession again.

You could walk in my shoes, one of my boats has a 200 gallon gas tank and it is possible to empty this tank in one afternoon.

Gas at the marina is marked up about a dollar and a half higher than at the pump on the street. That adds up to about a grand a fill up. :yes:

I don't drive. But the monthly bus pass went up from $38 to $41. Not nearly the cost increase I would expect if I drove though.

My truck gets about 10 mpg. I travel about 6K miles per year hauling machinery. But I welcome higher prices....good to ween us off gas guzzlers,
encourage more biking/walking, living closer to work, less dependence on foreign oil, cleaner air, etc, etc. People in general won't do what's good
for the country unless it's good for themselves. If prices go high enuf, maybe even Al Gore will trim back his wasteful ways.

I always imagine whoever controls the oil price sits in a semi-darkend room smoking an enormous cigar and drinking hideously expensive whisky, whilst carelessly twiddling the dial which holds the world ransom.
