NE Atlanta this afternoon. A couple miles away you could find it for $2.89/gallon. All the stations, even this one had extremely long lines.

I went to fill up early this morning and the attendant said I was lucky to be filling up today because they were going to raise the price $.50 tomarow. What a scam.

Just gassed up @ 97.5 cents per litre, with many stations raising their prices tonight by 15- 20 cents a litre. Family in Montreal are already paying $1.35 per litre. in US dollars, this is about $4.25 US per US gallon. Ouch ....
However, I think this is a good thing. With gas being so cheap for so long, there has never been any incentive to look for alternatives. How often have you seen a Hummer or Escalade with just the driver? What a waste!
Just my 97.5 cents.

Nik,
If you had Tiger, you could use the gas widget to find the lowest price!

Apparently you don't need Tiger, it just makes it easier and sexier to find the lowest price for gasoline.

So.............thats equiv to
ummmm
$3.74 USD for a US gallon here.
Oh...& guys..its called 'petrol'
The BBQ uses gas...you fart gas...you fill your balloons with gas...you belch gas.
I wonder if the busses will be busier today?
It's around $3.10 for us right now.
But to answer your question with a question, I wonder how many people
realize what it costs to operate a bus or other public transportation
compared to the fares?
Here, the Valley Transportation Authority costs about $137/hour for bus
service. It's even higher for the light rail--nearer $300 I think.
Regardless, the San Jose area has one of the lowest ridership figures of
the region (yet they insist on running articulated busses on lines that
cannot support their usage and continue with a light rail system that is
neither efficient or well used).
Sorry to be so down on public transportation but even with high fuel costs,
people are not using it and it has failed to live up to the promises of the
various proponents.

Last night my wife and her co-worker were both almost out of gas and hadn't been listening to the radio or anything, got a shock when a customer told 'em to get their gas quickly. They started calling stations to find prices and had a hard time finding one that said they had any supply at all. One station said "$2.95 but hurry because the price is going up $.50 in about 10 seconds." I think they ended up finding some for about $3.20

...for the cheap stuff here in northern Illinois. :cry :tough :moon
Linda needed gas and paid $2.98 and was horrified. On the way to her father's place she saw a station selling gas for $2.79 so she stopped there on the way back, about an hour later, to complete filling up (she had only gotten 3 galleons earlier when she saw the price). By the time she got back to the gas station they had raised their price from $2.79 to $2.98. Linda had to wait while they reset the pumps to the new price. She was not a happy camper when she got home.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
I did see some gasoline for "only" $3.05. We had gassed up 40 miles to the south for $2.95. Usually our town is from 10 to 15 cents more (go figure why, I've given up on guessing why our town is so expensive, and even just over the hill is more expensive than 40 miles south).
Anyway here's a processed shot, taken from the car while waiting for the light to change.

I understand the global economy and the local benefits to my home province when the price of gas is high. I understand that there is a knee jerk reaction going on right now with gasoline pricing. The gas available to purchase right now was refined long ago(i.e the oil it was refined from was purchased long ago at a much lower ppb).
But I still cannot fathom what we are paying for gas right now, here in Edmonton where the majority of Canada's gas is refined from Alberta oil
$1.14 per litre cdn. So lets convert that:
3.5 litres per gallon gives you (1.14 * 3.5) cdn$3.99 (approx) for a US gallon. Then lets put that into US dollars (3.99 *1.18) $4.70 USD/gallon!!!!!!!
