so i was reading an article on cnn and it said that a national average of 4 bucks a gallon shouldn't be ruled out later this year.

the national average right now is 3.53 and rising.

it's ridiculous.

gas prices is f**ken ridiculous.

I dont drive yet but yeah. its crazy! I hope it goes down again.

San Fransisco is the most expensive city, averaging 3.97


sucks for everyone there, or everyone moving there! (toya)

this is crazy. my parents used to get the ultimate from bp but when the prices rose, they went down to regular. think the gas prices will be just like how it was in i am legend. it'll be like nine dollars eventually.

not just san francisco. it's basically the whole bay area in california in general. luckily i go to college elsewhere where it's like $3.60 here. but when i go back home to the bay area on the weekends, it's close to $4.00.

Haha, I thought this was an advert when I saw all those leetle dollar signs.

It's even worse in the UK, it's around two and a half times the price Americans are currently paying.

What makes it worse for the US, is that the distribution costs are knocking food prices sky high as well. We've noticed groceries over here are increasing in price, but it's worse for that in the US.

Doom and gloom.

We're lookin at more than $4 a gallon in the next two months. We might be reaching $5 a gallon... I think we're payin $114 right now? Wait til it hits $120 a barrel, they're raping us and they're makin all the profits.

UGH! Chicago is so bad.
I'm out here in the suburbs and I already see $3.71 for the middle pump and $3.99! I can't believe this shit!
I feel so bad for my boyfriend, because he drives everywhere for his family and me ): I offer to buy gas but he refuses ): Though his mother pays him usually, but still its ridiculoussssssssssss.

It already costs me $65 (give or take) to fill up from empty to full using premium gas... pisses me off.

at least it's better than Hong Kong, where my dad spends over $100 to fill up his tank.

"This year's record high gas prices, coupled with a slow economy and the mortgage crisis, have had a cascading effect. A person making $9 an hour needs to work nearly seven hours just to pay for 15 gallons at $4 a gallon, according to CNN.com's gas calculator."

This is why we need Obama. You know why? Because we have our own damn oil that for some effed up reason, non of the prior presidents ever cared to open. Instead they'd much rather take oil from another country then tax the ish out of us for it. But Obama's gonna change all that :)

we're not paying as much as other countries are paying. and if you were to actually break down the process of turning oil into octane gas that you could use for your car, i think $4.00 is pretty damn cheap.

I guess it's time for me to get my bike out and be like those dumbasses who bike down the interstate.

There were places up north when we went snowmobiling that would charge $8 a gallon.

Omg! I know. I hate the oil prices nowadays. D: Its almost up to $4 bucks in southern California. And it sucks because I have to fill up my tank three times a week, because I drive 200 miles a weekend. So much money falling right outta my pockets. =(

I saw gas prices for $3.39 yesterday and almost flipped shit. Too bad I really need gas, too.

Great, by the time I'm able to drive, the prices will probably be over 7 bucks. Just like those darn cigs.

^ Yup, I remember being your age Jane and remembering when gas price use to be like $1.70 only. I miss those days.

poor jane!

gas prices are ridiculous... imo minimum wage should increase as much gas prices.. then it might not seem so bad...

you're ugly

Last time I filled up (which was last week, Monday, surprisingly), I paid like $3.73 per gallon and it was like $70 to fill up my tank. I remember paying $50 per tank. !@#$%^&*()_

Yeah, and my 14 mpg doesn't help either.

my 35 mpg helps

I need to buy myself a hybrid
