Went up 7c per litre this morning because of our new carbon trading scheme. Thankfully I hardly ever drive.

What are you bitching about? That's still cheap...or about as cheap as any around here. MOST stations are at $2.85 or above for unleaded regular.

Lucky. You should sell your gas now. Don't be greedy.

I drove to Orlando last week, 12 hour drive, and on the way back I hit a gas station.

Maxima says to take 93, no biggie really.

87 was $2.49
89 was $2.79
92 was $3.19 (I think their premium was 92)

I had not seen anything like that before. Thank you remotely located gas station.

I paid 2.03/gal for gas during lunch. Stop and SHop rewards!!!!

Accounting for just inflation alone, not factoring in changes like the switch to seasonal blending, regulation etc a gallon of gas that cost 45 cents in 1974 would cost 1.94 in 2009. We currently pay around 2.45 here. I suspect the non-inflation difference is mostly increased fuel taxes etc since 1974.
