I was driving to Rockland Maine,(a pretty cool name for guitar player to visit), and on the way I saw several Gas stations selling for $2.83/gal.
Most of the ones around Augusta are in the $3.12 to $3.08 range right now.
What are you guys paying around the US. I have been away from Canada for a couple of weeks and when I left it was on it's way down.

We are STILL in the mid 3's up here in SV area. We are always higher than the rest of the state, which tends to be higher than a lot of other places overall. Grrr.

I will be heading home tomorrow. On the way down on the NY thruway it was 395 down to 375 on the Mass Pike. They really gouge you on the thruways.
My SUV is pretty good on gas and gets about 30 mpg, so I am pretty lucky.
I heard on the news that there was a glut of gas because people are just not driving a lot. I hope this backfires on those gas gouging SOBs. It has really hurt an already fragile economy.

1 gallon = 3,785 litre.

Here in Europe (Germany) we pay 1,52€ per litre which is 5,75€ per gallon which is per today's exchange rate of 1,34 = 7,70 USD/gallon.

That is the reason why I go to work by train.

It's .99 cents per litre this morning in southern Ontario.
It actually made the news because it dropped to less than a dollar a litre.

I live in Southwest VA but I subcontract for some places all over. I had a meeting at the National Lab about a year ago, flew out on a Wednesday, was supposed to have meetings both Thursday and Friday but the Friday was canceled, so I took the day and drove all over the place, up to Santa Fe, even up in that sky tram thing - was freakin awesome. I wanted to hit white sands but didn't get the chance. Anyway, Really cool place, I'd really love to be able to take a job out there, but my girl would never move so far from her family.

Welcome to Georgia son! I live not too far from Climax and Recovery, both smaller than Donalsonville. Also only 22 miles from beautiful downtown Two Egg, Florida. (Why is called that? 'Cause that's how big it is, about 2 eggs...) :D

BTW, gasoline hit $2.499 at one station today. :bravo:

I thought you were bs'ing with Climax and Recovery and Two Egg, but I googled. I thought Climax and Recovery was the name of one town. Pull in, everyone is kicked back smoking a cigarette.

Now I see why the family is always offering me the use of their cars, I see good prices and I fill up the tank.:thwap:

Each state will be different due to each state's tax levied against gasoline.

I think us US citizens should go down to DC and dump our gasoline in the Potomac River and set it on fire. Sort of like a Boston Tea Party but with Texas Tea instead.

It does not matter who gets elected, the prices will go back up.

Last week between where I live and where I work, there was a 40 cent difference in price. Gas was much higher near work.

I don't see it happening, at least not near-term. Oil prices would have to spike and about the only way they would is if demand would spike. Since we're entering the winter months when not as much travel takes place, I think it'll be awhile. Remember before the year they were estimating an average price for a barrel of oil at $80. It will be interesting to see if the inflated prices had any permanent effect on Americans' driving habits.

Of course, if a couple of pipelines in the Middle East get blown up, all bets are off.
