I just checked out MS on that gas price website and somebody in Gulfport is selling gas for $1.49 a gallon!Maybe if I lived around Jackson it would be worth the drive.

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

Gas at my station went down to $1.87 but now it's back up to $2.10.

Gas Prices on Upswing That Could Top $3 By Spring

That's in the ballpark for around here too. If this trend keeps up, prices will top $3.00 in the coming weeks, if not sooner.

2.95 for regular, and our family van only gets 9mpg!!! That'll be about 55.00 per round trip for the summer internship when our family goes up to worship every Lord's day. I may be in debt when it's all finished.

$3 will happen. If the slightest disturbance happens in the world it will go higher. A major event and it will soar to heights we can only imagine.

Frankly, I expect very dark days ahead.

I've heard that Brazil is making ethanol from sugar and will soon be free of dependence on oil.

 

[Bladestunner316]

brazil is smarter then US for doing that. Gas is 2.79 here 2.93 by the freeway.

 

[ReformedWretch]

3.09 for Premium here! My Crossfire will only take Premium...I am not driving much.

$2.93. sinful, sinful, sinful. And Lee Raymond of Exxon got $356 million retirement package

I am very grateful for my '97 Saturn right now. I highly recommend the car to those looking to lower thier gas bill. It's a pretty cheap car and I always get over 30mpg, often around 33mpg.

note especially that the cost in Brazil is roughly $1US/gal.

356 mill is not enough to raise afamily on these days

 

[LadyFlynt]

2.82 last I saw for unleaded

 

[Puddleglum]

The best price I've seen today is $2.95.

The only way that I have found to completely eliminate any concern for the price of gas is to increase my giving.

 

[Ivan]

$2.78 the best price here. I think I'm going to buy a bike...and I ain't talkin' Harley!

wow. now that's what the price of gas should be. But unfortunately, the Oil Oligopolies have plenty say in Energy Policy. And as a result the masses are at their mercies.

Heck, if illegal Mexican immigrants got more clout than U.S Citizens, how much more clout with an Oil company.

from http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/29/eveningnews/main1454613.shtml :

"That's primarily because while the rest of the world was mapping the human genome, scientists in Brazil were mapping the DNA of sugar in an effort to create a cleaner, cheaper alternative to gasoline: sugarcane ethanol."

Great, now the price of sugar will sky rocket!

Paid $3.05 today - that's pretty much par for where I live.

Did find an Arco later on which for some reason is still only charging $2.81 (not for long!).

 

[shelly]

$2.75 for the cheap stuff. It was $2.47 2 weeks ago.
