    I commute to a consulting job site near Atlanta each week, from SC - so I see gas stations in SC, NC, and GA. The stations around here (Duluth, GA) and around Charlotte in NC seem to be about the same - between $3.91 and $3.99 for regular. The SC stations (just across the border from Charlotte) seem to be holding around $3.81 to $3.85.

    Away from the cities near Greenville, SC, there are stations that are still $3.73.

    I could tell you, but that is beyond the scope of this discussion.

    Maybe this will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math

    here in western massachusetts regular/87 has been over $4.00 for a couple weeks now. When I saw a gas station selling at $4.02 today I was bummed that I just filled up elsewhere at $4.09 yesterday. That type of reaction always that tells me the price is still generally creeping up.

    Today I filled up at our local Sainsburys petrol station in Bristol, UK.

    I put 42.41 litres in. I make that 11.2 US gallons.

    Total cost? £49.15, or just a little over $98!

    So that's...

    $8.75 a gallon...
    *faints on the floor. I want my EV back! *Cries* *

    How about a bicycle? There are plenty of enclosed designs around that would be quite similar to your "Flying Banana". Except you have to pedal. But hey, no gas bills, and you can skip the gym membership. :)

    And thanks for reminding all us whiners that we're only paying about half what gas costs in Europe. ;)

    Tesco's cheaper. :D

    That makes 1.159 £ per litre, or 1.425 € = we are at 1.52 (£1.23), but at my supermarket I can still find it at 1.45

    Gas is getting cheap - some of the stations (Arco) are down to $4.37 / gal. I think Malorn was onto something. Only $1.87 to go. :madgrin:

    Hit the gas station at lunchtime (for air only!) and it was up to $4.19. Missouri has one of the lower gas taxes around too.
