State your location and your local gas price.
Just curious to see how bad it is outside of Detroit. I know gas prices (for unleaded regular, the cheapest of the three) here have gone up more than 25 cents in the last week, so:
Detroit (Royal Oak to be specific, but it's only 5 miles from Detroit)

Gas here on the island has been $2.69 since last year. When gas prices go up on the mainland, they go up here, but they seldom go back down.
Oh, I live on Maui.
(and despite what you may read on CNN or USAToday, Honolulu does NOT have the highest gas prices in the nation. We are consistently 0.40 more per gallon than they are and Molokai and Lanai are even higher) Posts: 2069 | Registered: May 2001

$.895 per litre (I think that's $3.39 per gallon)(Canadian $s) in Loydminster Alberta /Saskatchewan. I'm in Edmonton, AB right now but that's the news from home.

It looks to me like almost all the nations with higher gas prices don't have domestic oil deposits.

Richardson, TX (North Dallas area), $2.05-$2.12 (but why would you buy it that expensive when there's always a cheaper place around?)

The last time I looked it was in the $2.20's (and higher, some places) in Miami. I paid $2.19 a week ago, but I had to hunt for it at that price.

Last Wednesday when I left town, gas was about $1.97 a gallon. When I came back on Saturday it was up to $2.11 a gallon. (I'm in SC)
"They" are predicting gas prices to go from $55 a barrel up to about $105 a barrel sometime soon; which means $4-5 a gallon. If that happens I'm going to ride my bike to get places.
Who are the people responsible for raising the prices? They go up as soon as there's news that gas supplies are running low. However, wouldn't that take some time to actually reach us?
I mean, a news guy reports that the price of crude oil is at a record high at 10:54 a.m., and at 11:30am that same day, suddenly the price per gallon is raised two dimes. Surely oil--or lack thereof--doesn't move that fast.

Who the hell are the "they" who said oil was going to double in price? That's silly.
Production isn't really down that bad. Refineries are keeping up relatively well, there isn't a gas shortage. If Iraq would hurry up and stabilize we could get something out of it and lower the price even more, but their production is already at pre-war levels.
I don't see it going higher than $65, if that high. Also, part of the reason price is high is that Bush is siphoning off a goodly amount for the Strategic National Reserve (that's the name right?). Which I think is a smart idea, but if this gets much more out of hand, he'll need to cut back on that.
On the other hand. I hope gas in America does hit 3 or 4 dollars a gallon. It's about time this country gets a friggin wake up call about oil, the huge gas hogging SUVs they drive, and the environment. When Hummer drivers have to start shelling out a grand a year for gas, maybe they will change their minds.

I think the last time i actually looked it was at $2.10, which is surprisingly low. I live in Wasilla, Alaska.

It's gone up to $2.19 in Fort Dodge, Iowa. That about 20 cents in the last month, I think. The price has gone up five cents twice in the last week.
I live about 10 miles from Fort Dodge. I work and go to church in FD. I don't want to move back yet for various reasons, but may have to change my mind.

I agree with this in theory but in reality, it would hurt a lot of families, like mine, where money is very, very tight, where there aren't any reasonable alternatives to transportation, such as buses, and where walking the 10-12+ mile distances to work is highly unlikely to happen because of temperatures ranging from 90-120 during the summer.

And I'd just like to clarify that no one in my family drives an SUV/Hummer/moster truck. It'd still hurt my family financially to have to pay twice as much to fill up.

$3.78US a gallon in New Zealand (that's as accurate a conversion as I can make from $NZ1.35 a litre). Thats for Super, Regular's about .5c cheaper per litre. It costs me about $NZ70 to fill up my car once a week, from which I get about 220 miles. I'm thinking of buying a horse...

$2.15 in No. Virginia. I got it as they were changing the sign to $2.23! And that's for the cheap stuff! It felt so good! I saved 8cents! They'll just get it out of me later! Posts: 601 | Registered: Sep 2002

My hybrid purchase is looking beter and better It sucks that people in minivans and the like are going to feel this worse, especially considering that the car companies have been slow to roll out, at the minimum, hybrid versions of all their models, at prices closer to regular models.
Goldman Sachs said the price may reach 105 in the "near future". That could mean several years.
The price at the pump has always been very attuned to price per barrel, and to a certain extent expectation of continued supply. You don't raise the price of gas when it is actually scarce... You lose gross profit that way. You raise it ahead of the shortage, more money made.
I need to fill up today - and I should have done so yesterday. I know it went up overnight because they were talking about it on the radio.
But I don't know the exact amount at the moment to post here. At least I usually burn a 10% Ethanol blend which is cheaper. (and wish I could burn the 85% Ethanol choice).

$2.57 in Union City.. and I have to fill up today... I'm hoping the Valero station down the street has it a little cheaper.
The nations with higher gas prices than ours are mostly socialist nations. Just one more reason to fight socialism tooth and nail.
