    Are they going down where you live? I think they are here. Today I was driving around and I saw that they were as low as 1.87 as opposed to 2.08 last week. Hmm...

    It's so UNfair. States and the gas; it's like free around there, it's crazy, and in Europe prices are growing bigger every week. It's so f* wrong, if they want to decrease the use of gas they should make prices higher everywhere, especially in the states as you guys use loads of gas...it's unfair.

    Love,
    Borut

    Blame opec. If if was the same everywhere it would be globalization. It may be good for some but it may be bad for some. Just the way it works... leave it up to OPEC to decide.. gahhhf.

    It was at $2.51 here, but it went down to $2.39. It sucks though now that I have a job because I actually have to drive. I miss being able to walk everywhere. But thank god my car gets 40 mpg.

    Saw on the news today that, yes, it should be going down. AND none too soon, as I just bought a big, non-politically correct, dinosaur of a Cadillac.

    Oops. It came out wrong. My mom was doing the driving.

    I'd be scared if people my age could drive.

    People can drive at 16 though, and that is probably not really any better than 15. It's not like you mature that much during that one year.

    Well, I was just at Great America in Gurnee and on the way there I saw gas in Illinois for $1.84. Here it's still above $2... some places it's still at least $2.10. Haha, as soon as I told my dad that he said we might have to just drive down there and get $50 worth of gas since it's so much cheaper...

    I love Cadillacs. Only problem is they burn gas. I want something like a 1940s Model 62... or something in a sedan delivery style. But.. I am ashamed to say my mom drives a Lincoln. Gas guzzlers... but it does haul a lot of people when my aunt and cousins come.

    Look, americans(u.s.a) still pay way less money than Europeans, because your country is trying to restore monopoly. It's as simple as that, and don't say it's right, because we should all try to use less gas, and states are well known for big use of gas, and your prices are still very low compared to what we have around here in Europe.

    I thinks its a conflict of life styles, for example most eurpeans drive smaler fuel efficient cars and relay of public transportation.

    While there in north america some places have public transportation but they don't go everywhere while in europe public tansportation goes everwhere.

    I know in Ottawa there are some places that are without bus service, you can take a cab but good luck paying up $$$$.

    or better yet look up the O-Train that train goes from nowwhere to nowhere, its funny because how do they expect people to take it if it doesn't go anywhere.

    So with that said why rely on transportation if it can't get you from A-B you might as well drive and operate a car.

    So thats what i think the problem is bad transportion and more depenends on cars in north america.

    That plus i'm sure the prices go up and down durring the week

    i've noted that the prices seam to be down around sunday-monday night, i could be wrong but at night times-early morning the price is down by a cent or two.

    if your like me an insomiac, try to take a look at the gas prices at around 2 in the morning.

    what i normaly do is half-tank system basicly i normaly fill up to half tank that way i still have gas to get me where i need to go and in thoery for priorty drives, by the time gas is right then all pump some more to full tank by the time its good durring the week.

    gas out here was 1.99, and then it went to 2.13, then to 1.81, and now it is 1.90.....that is for regualr.....just add 10 cents each time to figure out the rest...like the next one would be 2.00, and super would be 2.10....
