Default well, I've finally seen $3.01/gallon REGULAR gas...

with the unrest in Libya, oil surged passed $90 today.....and for the first time ever in my area (north Houston), I spotted 3 gas stations with $3.01 regular gas (altho someone told me in 08 it was higher?).

I can only imagine what it will cost in the peak summer season.

I drive less now so I really don't keep track of prices as I used to but I have to say I needed some gas downtown and didn't look and about a minute in I glanced up and saw $3.99 for the premium gas I was pumping

"here we go again"

The CT is going to fly off lots. Watch.

I'm on my way to Lexus site to take a look at this thing. HS didn't do it for me but I'm hearing a lot about this CT.

I wish I could see $3.01 gas again. Last station I passed was at $3.59 for regular, $3.79 for premium

Eh, come this summer when prices really shoot up, I bet I'll find a really good deal on a truck...

SVT Raptor, here I come!

I only get 15 mpg in my IS350 anyways...

You don't remember '08's national average hit about $4.00/gal? Hard to forget that historic price point.

It's been about $3.15 for regular for a couple months here. And winter is always lowest.

Count your stars and stripes, that your not in Canada. Its about C$4.6116 per Gallon for regular here. Which is beyond hilarious seeing we have a **** load of black gold in this country.

Im pretty sure Cali is going to hit 4 by next month. We are already hovering in the high 3.70s to low 3.80s for premium.

yes, $4 isn't far away with the middle eastern turmoil and the utter stupidity of this country to not use all its natural resources.

Damn, just refilled at $3.75/gallon, and I'm getting 18 MPG at best. If this hits $4.50/gallon, I'm going to have to definately not drive so aggressively.
