3. I'm wishing I'd bought a bit smaller car now
I still get about 25-27mpg on the typical hwy/city cycle and I did manage to find a place on my way home that was still at $2.08 so I filled up

7. Yeah so much for the news stories today
That prices are going to fall because of Bushy's meeting with the saudis.

6. Perhaps a webpage can do a price watch
Perhaps somecan can stick a webcam near a gas station so the public can follow the changing prices, from day to day at one particular station, Im guessing most stations in the states would charge the same.

11. They Charge Us 75c/gal more Because We Are In California
Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 12:40 AM by AndyTiedye
We are still being punished.

$4/gal (only in California) by Memorial Day would not surprise me.

15. News was reporting it's related to the Ky Derby Festivities
Guess we're set to gouge the out-of-towners and make it look like we don't have cheaper gas. ;)
