Dude, quit crying! Everyone would be dancing in the streets if Premium was only $1.39/gallon here.

Maybe if it goes up enough people won't waste their money on gas to just drive around and pollute the world.

Doubtful. Gasoline has extremely low price elasticity.

And ElFenix, you're probably lining OPEC's pockets more than the "damn gas companies'."

I have heard reports we should expect gas prices to remain pretty low this year. Hope so because last year the increase was terrible.
 

$1.55 for 87 octane here - it was $1.39 about a week ago. :( I'm glad I drive a Sentra 1.6l.

It isn the gas companies who gouge you....do some research..it is the government.
Imagine that gas is taxed an average of over 50 cents per gallon!
