Here in Baltimore County, Maryland, USA, yesterday, the price of the Lowest grade, as well as mid grade and premium, officially cracked and went over $3.00 gallon even for crap gas like Hess.
Last night the Exxon down the road charged for mid grade, $2.84. This morning, it had jumped to $3.15!

I know of someone filling up their RV and it cost like, $165 or something!
How many of you ACTUALLY believe there is a "gas shortage?"
Not I.
Not I.
There's no SHORTAGE as such - we've only used about half of the world's fuel supply. It's just that the second half is much harder to get at.
My boyfriend knows someone who makes his own diesel out of something or other (I lost track when it got technical) and it costs him about 30 cents a litre to make. Diesel here has just topped a dollar for the first time in NZ history.

Okay, let's do it. The Dutch petrol prices:
The price here is 1,47 euro á litre... 1 (American) gallon is 3,8 litre. 1,47 * 3,8 = 5,59 euro á gallon.
1 euro = $1,22.. So one gallon regular costs here $6,81!!!
So please don't complain ;)

In Canada the highest it was yesterday in some places was $1.35 a litre.
In Russia it's about 50 cents per liter... Thanks God we have loads of oil...
I saw the news today. In Atlanta, Georgia, The price is up to 5$ per galon :S...
I read the news today oh, boy
its $3.09 for regular now. $3.29 for super
Same here Raven.
On the way back from Atlanta we stopped for some fast food. When we went in the gas across the road was $2.99 when we came out (5 mins later) it was $3.29.
Apparently in Greenville, SC it is now above $4 a gallon.

Bleedin' Russians! Share! heh.
One of my friend's grandparents make their own fuel. We filled her car for 15 dollars once...and she had a quite a large Commodore.

Send me the tank - I'll but some petrol for you... heh...
Actually people here think that 50 cents is too much expensive for the petrol.

Funny you should say that. My brother/mother/father/EVERYONE IN AUSTRALIA THAT WAS BORN PRIOR TO 1986 said that the public was outraged when petrol prices 'boomed' at 45 cents. Damn! I'm getting twice as much petrol! Nooo!
Seems I caused this rise in price of petrol. Sorry.

Americans are always those who complain most... although they have the cheapest fuel in the world :) Almost. There are of course countries with cheaper fuel - for example South American countries (Venezuela - some 40 l for $1!!!), Ukraine, Russia and some more.
I'm not sure how much the tax on fuel is here (Czech rep.), it probably doubles the original price. Still, we're at 1 euro per liter which is quite good compared to western Europe.
The main problem is the huge usage of petrol in the USA - everybody has 1 or more (big and hungry) cars and uses it on daily basis. As long as it stays like this, the fuel prices will stay high (and the Americans stay fat). The wars in the Persian Gulf didn't help either...

$3.19 here :(
I just paid $15.01 for what I consider about $5 worth of gas. Thank goodness I hardly ever get out. This might get me through the whole month.
With insane prices comes theft. Not just driving off without paying (which is actually virtually impossible here now, you have to register and get a card before you can pump first), people are going to be siphoning.
And that's not exactly fair Mr. Scully. For a total of 4 people left in my family (in 3 different houses) we have 2 cars total.
