Anyone thinks we are going to hit 1$ per liter of gas anytime soon?
(3.75 per gallon approx)?

It really sucks and not even money wise (I spend like 50$ more per month now, that I used to) - but to look at those prieces when you drive by.

Guess Canada is more expensive than USA I guess.

We have 3$ per gallon right now in Denver.
Hope it stays this way.

The Gulf Coast pipeline disruptions caused widespread panic in Atlanta when the Journal-Constitution newspaper predicted dwindling supplies and $5.00 plus per gallon prices by this weekend. As word spread, people rushed to fill up and stockpile gas in containers. By rush hour yesterday there were long gas lines and many stations completely out of fuel. One BP station was charging $6.07 a gallon!

Evrything is worse then I thought it would be.
5 per gallon that's like 100+- per tank.
Now that can really make you drive less.

Vic,

Anything higher in that area as far as octane rating? Maybe like a 103+?
