I just now went out and got some gas.

$3.60/gal

Pretty much the same it's been the last few days.

Georgia.

North of Atlanta specifically.

I've seen a number of places go in one day from $3.59 to over $5 in some cases and a number of places above $4.50.

There are a few places that are charging $3.69 though, which seems to me to make it pretty clear that all the other places are gouging.

canada. up to $5.25 or so. I blame the US :p

We need to nationalize the oil industry, subsidize local, and charge full price++ on exports. Maybe resurrect Stalin to do it so it's good and efficient.

I paid 3.49 last night, which is a steal for this area (which hasn't gone up in the last couple days, though.)

The place I normally get gas at had raised theirs to $4.09, across the street it was $3.64. Some asshat in North Raleigh raised theirs to $5 and a half.

Vancouver, Canada, was 1.39 a litre now 1.51 a litre........ that's around $5.57 a gallon :(

I don't remember hurricanes having such an effect in the 80's & 90's :(

Cheers,

Amazing. The gas was paid for two months ago, but somehow the price increased 90 cents over the period of a few hours?

Yeah crazy. I can see it going up in the south...even going up some here.

I 21 gallons in, 11 in my Xterra and filled up two 5 Gallon tanks because I'm going wheeling tomorrow and need the extra gas just in case.

Still close to $80 in gas.

Southeast Michigan... over $4/gal again

Michigan? That just doesn't make sense.

Lack of public transportation... people HAVE to buy gas in order to leave Michigan.

Fixed.

I don't get it... as if my car doesn't use gas driving 20 miles to work every day?

Because really, everyone knows how well communism has ended up working out.. Its like the perfect answer, Just everyone sucks at the implementation of it.
