11. That's very true.
Alaska has, on average, the highest gas prices in the country right now. All that can be said about the $8 gas is that most of those places out in the Bush don't have many roads, but they do use gasoline in their four-wheelers, snowmachines and boats, and I would assume their generators maybe, so they are still feeling the pinch. And in the winter their fuel oil costs are astronomical. Alaska is not a place where you want to run out of fuel in the winter.

3. I think we're around $4.60 in Long Beach,CA
on average. I actually saw $5.50 a gal. at a full service pump in Newport Beach:wow: Course if you're driving a Lamborghini or Bentley it wouldn't matter to you how much gas costs.

4. I doubt that I will ever see gas under $4.00 again in my life
in the USA.

Although I must admit that I am optimistic that gas can still be purchased for under $4.00 somewhere in the USA.

I'm workin on getting off the carbon. It aint easy.

Gas is between $4.19 and 4.36 per gallon in Newburgh (for 87i).

5. Is the keyword $4, or Clayton, NC?
Would you be giving thanks if it were $3.99 in Clayton but $20 elsewhere? Just a thought. We're all in it together.

12. My point was that
I was ESSENTIALLY paying $4/gal, but it didn't dawn on me because the price still read $3.99.

It was just a self-deprecating post, laughing at myself because I was dense in not seeing it.

That's all.

Never mind.

7. I had to drive 90 miles yesterday but it's ok - I got gas for only $4.09 there!
Which beats $4.25-$4.29 in my town. I bought $40 worth! :woohoo:
