I feel it's my civic duty to help support 'local' business owners whenever possible...
I paid $3.99 per gallon for gas today at the corner gas station. They have been feeling the pinch as a lot of patrons aren't driving around as much, so they went to full service to entice customers back.
Somehow the high prices didn't seem to matter as much. To ease the pain, I needed 10 gallons so I went in ten times and bought one gallon each time.

Bad how gas prices can make a joke outdated so fast. Average just went upto $4.08. So $399 for full service and I mean full service. Wink wink nudge nudge. Would be great.

Quit yer whinging. In Oz, we average $6 a gallon fer unleaded, and $7 fer diesel (major capital cities only). In the regional areas, add 50c - $1 a gallon)... X-(X-(

What was it 10 years ago we were about 85 cents a gallon. I think that is a big part of the touble we went from record lows to record highs in 10 years. It so bad some older pumps have to be replaced that can't go over $3.99.

In Canada it's about 1.37 a liter right now. 1 gallon equals about 3.79 liters. Right now we are paying about $5.27 a gallon... and most our oil comes right from out own country. :timeout:

I got no idea why it's more expensive than unleaded. Is there a price difference in yer part of the world?
