In my part of FL this AM 93 was $1.859 - 1.899 which is about the max for this year. Anyone know when the price is supposed to fall?

You guys have no idea how good you've got it!

Comeover to the UK. I just filled up for 71 pence per litre.

At a rate of 1.58 that's 112 cents a litre or $4.25 per US Gallon most of that is tax

and I was pissed last week when I paid $1.89
Now that I see what other states are paying I'm glad I'm here.

But if you get out of Houston, for example Sealy, Tx they have about 8-15% lower priced gas than the City

I'm glad the government is making an investigation, there really was no reason for the gasoline prices to fluctuate as mush as they did over the last two weeks.
However I understand this is the result of the trading prices on gas in the stock market, I guess since they can't do what they used to do with natural gas now they are going to "F" the gasoline.

Thumbs down Unfortunately

In SF, it has been running $2.35 - 2.39 for Premium around here since the end of July.

The cheapest has been $2.15 - 2.19 earlier in the year.

So it runs me about $33 to 36 bucks to fill up the CLK...

Hey Brozynaik, you've just reminded me why its so damn expensive here in HK. Its the Brit's legacy with the stupid 100% tax on gas!
