Hey Yall, gas prices downhere in alabama is up to 334 at 98% of the pumps....the other 2% is the pumps that are completly OUT OF GAS!!!!! down here everyday a gas station runs dry and it is going to be crazy the next 2 weeks or so cause every time a fuel truck refuels the gas station then the prices go up! it is said that the prices here will keep riseing untill the pipes get fixed and the refineries open up again!

I don't understand why people have to jack up the gas prices in a time of need. Fupid Stuckers.

I'll be watching the earnings reports of the big producers.

If they report record earnings for 4th quarter... you'll know what went down.

for 1 gallon of gas you could probably get a pedal bike. wise investment in the 21st century. Â£1+ per litre here. $8 per gallon allmost.

I like to believe that most people are rational and can handle a little stress. But that isn't true and I know it. People are twitchy and nervous and on the drop of a hat will turn into a raging, screaming mob like you might see in a Sci-Fi flick. I'm just reminded why I ride a bike most places I go.

Fortunately, I get good mileage in my car and a tank will last me 2 weeks... longer if I limit my trips. I also have a full tank in the bike (yup... 4.8 gallons). That will give me about 200 more miles of driving before I need to fill anything up.

not sure how to convert but, we are paying $1.40 cents per litre, australian. OWCH!

I generally have pretty good gas mileage for my year of car and the size of my engine. I have checked it like 5 times and it is right. I have a V6 14 gallon tank and get 25 MPG. I love it. Plus my car is wide...so I can haul people. But I don't know how long that is going to last with running to school every day and down to the college too. I might be screaming for money in a little while. My tank generally last 2-3 weeks.

1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.7854118 liter

So... that's $5.30 a gallon Australian, or $6.90 USD per gallon.

Ouch!!
