Gas Prices - How High Where You Live?

    I live in a suburb of St. Louis, MO - U.S.A. - and this morning on my way to get breakfast, it was $3.08. I almost lost it and drove myself into the pumps!! Oil went to $109 the other day. It takes a few days for the pumps to see that ripple effect. We're not even into summer yet, and some are predicting prices near :eek: $4.00 soon. Can you believe that?

    What are you paying for a gallon of gas now where you are?

    That's per gallon, right? Here in the UK it's around £5 per gallon (so that's $10) with 80% of it going to the taxman.

    FOX NEWS said this morning that in reality gas should be about $2.08 - its a DOLLAR more than what it literally SHOULD be. Throw in everyone's FEAR of the unknown and OMG!

    Lets do a quick math. One gallon is around 4 litres takes less than a dollar for a litre right?

    Here in Bulgaria the prices are over 1.50 and more for a litre and salaries are tiems smaller than Americans!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have not reason to be mad at all.

    Petrol is the raw product.
    Gas is short for Gasoline.

    Saying gas you the blue fuel?
