Default Officially over $4 a gallon.

Damn, we are officially over $4 a gallon for premium here in Hawaii. The highest is $4.15 for premium. Not everywhere is at this price and most premium still goes for about $3.95 right now, but man I'd say within a week or two it will all be over $4 a gallon for premium.

We badly need to start drilling more here in the U.S. and Canada for more oil and build more refineries...but the NIMBY crowd keeps killing it...so we're still dependent on expensive oil on the world market from the speculators.

I wish I would've snapped a pic for you guys but there's a Shell in San Mateo selling ~$4.30/4.40/4.70 about a week ago. I'm not sure if it got worse or better since then as I live in the East Bay.

I'm 15 miles pass ZERO on my IS250. I'm scared to get gas. I think its going to be over $60 to fill up!

I miss my 10 gallon tank in my Integra.

Prediction: next 30 days

Fed rate drop of .5 to 1%

Dollar exchange rate worsens

Oil prices rise (especially since OPEC has said no increase in production)

Regular gasoline over $4 AVERAGE by summer.

It's 3.17 for reg unleaded here...

...I was going to say it's only 3.17 here but that seemed stupid as it's only doesn't fit with that as a price

Maybe CA is is price fixing, your prices seem high. HI I could understand it being more expensive up to a point.

About $3.80 a gallon here equivalent for Premium, but I would gladly pay $4 USD for U.S. grade gas down here.

I'm surprised gas isn't 5 or 6 dollars a gallon in Hawaii. But it's worth the extra money, just like all other CoL factors, from what I hear from you guys over there.

$3.35 for premium here in Vegas, which is only about a 20 cent increase over the last 3 months. Yeah, I'd love to pay less, but I still am not understanding why everyone complains about it.

last time i filled up about $3.35 im in the middle of Texas, near San Antonio. About $0.15 more than i'm used to paying per gallon. Just think in like 20 years we'll be saying I remember when gas was $3.35 those were the days!!!

$1.199/litre for regular, $1.299/litre for premium (91). 94 is higher of course. That's just under $5/gal up here.
