    Gas up 25 cents/gal. yesterday.

    Heard gas prices were supposed to go up to 'bout $3 a gal by summer. At between $1.68 - $1.79 a gal.(regular ) now, sure seems like it. Is this price typical of prices around the country?

    I read in yesterday's paper that Oklahoma had the lowest gas prices in the country. If that's true, then you ain't doing bad cause ours is only about a dime less than what you quoted.

    What I can't figure out, if we were going after Iraq's oil, why isn't gas about a quarter a gallon now? I mean, we won the darn war after all.

    It's been holding at about $1.68 here for the last month or so. It's the LP that's up about $.50 to $1.42/gal since fall that's hitting me hard with all the cold weather we've had lately.

    I'm with Dean on this one! Like what, we have a choice in heating/not heating our homes?! The gas hovers between 1.65>1.73 around here, but on that one, I hate to say it, but it's partially our own country's fault. I travel close to 50 miles each way to work. The number of BIG SUV's, full-size pickups and those with humongo crew cabs is completely astounding. No, they don't have a ton of construction equipment in the bed and there's usually only a single person sitting in them! A LOT of them have UW or other private parking stickers or tags on them, which clearly tells me these folks aren't going to construction sites, but just their regular 8-5's. Yeah, there are tons more reasons, I'm sure, but that's one thing that's really bugged me for a long time. OK, stepping down off the soap box.
    Cheers,

    For regular unleaded it was 1>54 this weekend. But as I understand it Georgia doesnt have a high add on tax. but still it is getting crazy with the prices.

    OK - stand back. We pay just over about £4 per gallon. Thats about $7.50ish. about 85% of that is tax.

    Filling up my van with diesel costs about £50 - thats about $90-95.

    SURE!! (Since I just bought a work truck that get 10mpg...I'm looking into swapping out the rear end from a 4.10 to a 3.55).

    Now, if I could just figure out a way to put a ladder rack on a Harley, I'd be right with you....
