Highest I've seen is $2.43 I think for premium, at some place that thought it could charge $.13 more _per grade_. Silly buggars.

Why would you hope it gets more expensive?

So people lessen their wasteful habits and realize we've hit peak oil and need to start mass-producting alternative fuelds NOW.

I agree with your sentiment, but I don't think that will happen, even if gas does hit $3.00.

It'll start. $3/gallon would see a marked decrease in SUV (esp. the gargantuan variety) sales and moves toward smaller and hybrid vehicles.

Less traffic on the roads, only the rich will be able to drive. :thumbsup:

I have to drive across the World's longest bridge (Ponchartrain Causeway) over by New Orleans, they do not allow bikes on the 24 mile span.

Highest I have seen so far is $2.39 for regular with the lowest being something like $2.20 here in Seattle. We tend to have some of the highest prices in the country which has always seemed strange to me.

Funny thing is, Spokane, WA which is a city of almost 300,000 on the other side of the state typcially has 5-10 cents lower gas than Seattle. Of course the cost of living and average sallary are lower there so it goes to show that you can price gas according to your consumer base.

Just heard on the news ExxonMobil is now the most profitable company in the world.
25 Billion in PROFIT last year.

A strange trend in my neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ: Circle K gas stations no longer sell the upper two levels of gas, they only sell the 87 octane regular unleaded. Weird, I guess no one was buying the premium stuff?

I like to fish out there. The atchafalya basin bridge is a pretty far drive to, nto as long as that bridge but long still.
