The QuikTrip by my house is at $2.929...that's actually down, I think. I made good money on little distance ($119 on 50 miles) last night, so I shouldn't have to fill up until tomorrow now. Depends on how busy we are tonight.

Filled up yesterday morning at $2.83, (other grades are 2.93, 3.03)then on the way home that and all other stations were $2.95 (3.05, 3.15).

10 days ago or so the prices were in the 2.60s.

This site from AAA lists current (US) gas prices: national, state and local. fuelgaugereport.com

Prices listed include current, yesterday, month ago and year ago, for 3 grades of gasoline, plus diesel. Click on State by State Average to see a list of all states. Click on a state name and see details for that state. From there you can select View Metro Areas for more details. It also lists highest recorded prices and includes charts. You can spend hours at that site that you would otherwise waste in the Cellar.

Does anyone want to bet on the gas price on Memorial Day (for those outside of the US, this is a local holiday - celebrated on the last Monday in May - no one knows what it's for, except that it's the unofficial opening of the grilling season)? I'm guessing $3.149/US gallon national average for regular gasoline. Currently it's $3.009/gal.

Based on this I guess I should fill up my boat Friday. At 2.79 a gallon and a 135 gal tank I should save money before next week.

I paid $3.149 a gallon tonight...haven't broken the $40 fill-up mark yet, but I suspect I will within the next week.

$3.17 in 2007 money is abuot $0.65 in 1972 money - which was the prices of a gallon of gas in 1972. So gasoline prices have only gone back up to early 1970s prices when gasoline was still cheap. No wonder SUV sales are not hurt. Anyone hurt by a gallon of gas at this price needs to review their excessive life style.

If you're lucky enough to walk to work every day, like I do, it helps. And you also might want to think about how far the stuff you buy has to travel.

You've read about the obscene profits made in the petro industry, right?
It's their excessive practices that should be reviewed, not whether the consumer might have an excessive lifestyle.

Oh yeah, my lifestyle is out of control. I go to work. I go home. There is no public transportation to speak of in these parts. Oh, and I visit my mom and dad in a neighboring town every Sunday. I'm livin' on the edge! The gas prices hurt, and we should all be sick of bending over and taking it while the fat cats get fatter.
