We are also at about $3.60 for regular...I used to use premium but moving down to regular..screw it. Also when I used to do a full tank fill. Now I do about 1/2 a tank or less. Really trying to not use gas.

Not much fun at the station anymore...especially for people with SUVs.

Bah!
Paid almost $3.94 a gallon today..... meanwhile US oil companies are making 28 billion dollars in profits, and getting billions more in credits from the government. Isn't it great to live in America? No wonder in some countries the government over takes the gas, oil industries, etc.

I'm now paying $3.59 (and rising) here in Oregon. You can go out of your way and pay $3.49 but the trip will cost you more than what you're saving.

ROFL soon it'll be cheaper to pay the fine for getting caught It's a win-win then.

Pump and Run and don't get caught = free gas
Pump and Run and get caught = Price that you stole (in about a year at this rate haha)

No I'm joking of course but I was listening to the radio the other day on 103.5 Kiss FM (Chicago station - not sure if it's broadcasted elsewhere) but they were taking callers who have done this and were giving away a free Speedway gift card for gas for those who would apologize to the gas station(s) they pumped and ran at. Surprisingly after about 7 callers confessing their stories, NO ONE actually apologized thus no gift card was given away. It's becoming a huge problem here.

I can't believe how much everyone in the US is complaing about petrol prices! Try coming to the UK and paying £1.19 per Litre! Yes you heard that right it costs us nearly as much for a litre as it does for you to buy a gallon... and for the uninitiated a gallon is 4 times more than a litre.

Yes, thats right - about $11 per GALLON here in sunny UK!! Stop your moaning!!!!!!!!!

And yet the price of Gas in the USA is still MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than EU or most places in the world. Isn't it great to live in America? The answer is YES. If you want to move to EU where unemployment is in double digits go right ahead.

Stop complaining! Here in Poland a gallon costs about 7,5-7,7$. The average salary is about 1000$ netto a month, whereas the minimum salary is about 350$ a month. So your (Americans') situation is much better as far as the balance between incomes and prices is concerned .
