Gota love these gas prices!!!!!!
Im in Woodstock, GA and gas is up tp 2.41! 
!!!!!
It makes it hard to enjoy a cruise arround the town. you get home and think "well s**t!, There goes 20$ worth of gas for a 30 min trip (hardly touching the gas pedal).
Just makes you want to cover it up and go buy a 35mpg econo box.
This sux!
What is it like in your state?

Roughly right at this exact moment it's:
Reg. $2.60
Unlead. $2.70
Super $2.80
Some of the outer islands like Kauai are already seeing $3.00 a gallon.

Approx $2.40, $2.50 and $2.60 here in Northern NJ. No surprise w/a barrel of oil topping $65. I really believe it isn't going to stop until we see $80-90 a barrel in the not too distant future. That will translate into well over $3.00 a gallon at the pump.

Damn, I'm glad I go through less than 3/4 of a tank in SHARK 81 in any given year. My biggest trip each year is a 45 min trip to Funfest and a 45 min trip back home.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...
There are eleven member countries of OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. They are: Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.
These are countries that import just about everything, with the exception of Venezuela.
It would seem logical to me that the prices of products sold to them should be artificially inflated as well.
Price of exports to OPEC doubles.
Oil prices go up... Price of exports doubles again.
Oil prices go up again it doubles again.
It's sort of like training the dog to go on the paper.
Just me thinking out loud.

I fully agree.
Coming home from Indy on Monday - we stopped in Columbus IN thinking that gas would be a little cheaper than in the "big city" and it was 2.50 a gal for 87 - I thought that was high. 350 miles south of there on I-65 we stopped for gas again and it was $0.25 a gal cheaper.
Right now we are sitting around $2.25 to 2.30 per gal for 87 octane in Jackson MS. Some places are higher but that is pretty close to the cheapest you will find around here.

91 octane is running $2.70-$2.80 here on average, but they raise their prices for the weekends to tap all you Southern California folks that come in to party those days. Locals gas-up mid week around here.
