I was in Atlantic City, New Jersey yesterday and spent less than $3.00 a gallon for premium at a Sunoco on the highway. I can't remember the exact price but I do know that regular was $2.71. I've accepted the fact that $3.00 a gallon and higher for us premium gas users will be the norm. Of course these are prices in the Northeast cuz I hear out in Cali and West Coast it's even more.

High gas prices, especially on the left coast, is more reason to make sure you go through your gas saving checklist:
1.) Keep tires to correct psi
2.) Throw out dead weight in your car
3.) Oil Change, Air Filter, Techron, Seafoam, etc, etc.
4.) USE THE AC less. I even keep my windows slightly cracked on the freeways to avoid AC use. Aristo wind visors really help.
5.) DRIVING STYLE: Go easy on the pedal when accelerating. Coast more before you hit the brakes. Anticipate when the car in front of you is going to have to brake, in order to coast more.
I praise my dad everyday for pre-ordering his 2nd Gen Prius at the end of '03. It seriously feels like your driving for FREEE!!!!!

Wassup Bea, Jersians get killed with high property taxes and I think car insurance is up there too, but the sales tax and tax on gas is below what New Yorkers and people in PA are paying. When I saw the price at that Sunoco station, I couldn't pass on that.
