I remember when gas, pop and cigs were 50 cents.

Regular here is right around $2.65, give or take a few cents. Three days ago, $2.49. I can remember when gas was $.49 a gallon. I quit smoking (cigarettes, anyway, Winston Reds) when the cashier said "That'll be $1.03." I said "No way am I paying over a dollar for a pack of smokes." And I quit, right there.

$2.659 at the Wawa on my way into work.

Try to comfort yourselves by knowing that the US is still one of the cheapest places in the world (outside of the Middle East) to buy gasoline - or any other fuel for that matter. It's f*@!kin' ridiculous here!

Fortunately, thanks to recent changes in how I pass my days I now drive many, many fewer miles than I have in my whole adult life.

Blame Bush...

Gas is $2.40 here...

My wife's care gets 36 mpg. So I don't care if it goest to $5 a gallon.

:rolleyes:

I wonder how much care Merc's wife needs...

just sayin'

I do.
me me me me me me

At the price I paid today it works out at $7.96 a gallon - though our gallons are a bit bigger than yours.

Actually, US gallons (3.785 litres) are quite a bit smaller than I thought, ours are 4.546 litres so I only paid about $6.64 a gallon.

Ouch.

What do you drive? Can you provide pictures? (I'm always interested in cars around the world.)

And how far do you drive it; commute, to the store etc.

My truck takes regular, current prices are $2.40 a gal

My wife's Mini Cooper takes high test, filled up today at $2.96 a gal, ouch, but hey at 36 mpg, no biggy and it only holds 15 gal.
