113.(something)p, down from 116.9p. This is premium fuel (V Power)

Are they falling in the states, too?

Only realised when I went to fill up today.

£1.16.9

But does that really make sense? No, it doesn't, so: 116.9p (p = pence)

I hope you?re now enlightened, my yankee doodle dandy friend.

£1.169 makes sense though.

Klin, it doesn't. ;)

Anyway, that's how it's displayed at the pumps, so...

Still massive shortages in Atlanta. Almost all gas stations are completely out. When stations do get gas, people queue up and the station is out of gas within a couple of hours.

Prices range from $3.96 (what I got on Saturday) to $4.39 that I've seen. They say that the shortages are suppose to ease up in two weeks but that's also what they said two weeks ago.

Holy shit! My friends told me gas was expensive back in Michigan (midwest, close enough), but damn! It's probably a buck cheaper here in Phoenix...at least there's one good thing about having moved here :p

$3.46 yesterday (gallon, regular). Gas prices have been steadily falling here (southern california), although there have been some chronic shortages in the south.

~$3.40 here

I wonder what Dave has to say about the easing of prices....

Let me guess "I predicted they would go down so the oil companies can get us to use more, then they are going to cut us off make gas go to $5/gal and cause rioting in the streets. Oh and the USA will collapse from it"

I buy 91 octane in California (San Jose). The most expensive I remember seeing it during the summer was $4.83 or so, and currently the cheapest I have found it is $3.83. Still way too expensive, but moving in the right direction.

Maybe I was exaggerating just a bit. You just want us to suffer... a lot.

~$50 about £27 gets me that far and my vehicle only gets 20 miles per gallon.

I don?t, not at all; I have plenty of American friends (and not the people I?ve met here). Any comments I've made in the past that might suggest so, was simply in jest - it's usually quite obvious. ;)

Let?s bring this to a close please.

Back on topic?
