What are you paying for gas?

I live in Kuna, Idaho. Kuna is approx. 20 miles from the Boise area. I was going to fill up the tank before work this morning but I was running late. Ten minutes later, gas went up .03 cents. I was mad at myself. I know, I only would have saved about .30 cents, but I was still angry. In Kuna/Boise Idaho, gas is about $1.86 a gallon.

What are you paying for a gallon?

about 1.95 US/gallon

I think gasoline should be heavily taxed everywhere, like it is in Europe. Driving big SUV's (and tax-breaks that encourage their use), an ever-declining CAFE, and relaxed emission regulations are all wrong. My 2 pesos.

$2.17 regular

Northern Calif

$2.23 regular

last week
So Cal

So don't complain, but I agree with James, I think the State/Feds should slap a $1.00 to $2.00 tax on top of this and slow consumption down. Sorry to any 300+ HP SUV drivers.

don't worry everyone, GW's side deals with the Saudi royal family should bring prices down before November.

Ready for the math?

Here in White Rock, BC, upper-middle-class suburbia (of which I am not ), home of the most SUV drivers in any BC wester Canadian city who slow down to 2 miles an hour for speed bumps (what good is an SUV if you're not goin' up a mountain in it, I say), gas runs at $0.86 CDN per litre. There are 3.68 US gallons per litre, so thats $3.27 CDN per gallon, converted over using today's Bank of Canada exchange rate, that means gas up here is sitting at a wopping $ 2.35 per gallon.

Glad I drive my little Sunfire.

Actually me and wifey were talking about this last nite... doesn't have anything to do w/ GW or the Saudis (We got more oil than them in the Gulf).... the thing that always triggers the price fall is that two small gas staions on the north side of San Antonio get into a heated gas war and start selling it at 90 cents a gallon and it spreads across the country... happens every year !
Now we're waiting on much more stringent regulations on vehicle emmissions in Austin/San Antonio.... but the real opponents to this will turn out to be LULAC and the ACLU ... & how do you say "tailpipe sniffer" in Spanish???
