It's crazy. Makes me wonder how these gas prices aren't a topic of news everyday.
They are in Denver... of course, according to the story I saw, we had the highest average cost in the country several days ago.
That would be unpatriotic or even treasonous. (LOL) News is now a for profit enterprise.

Trade you if $60 fills your tank. I had to fill our bucket truck today... 60 GALLONS later at $3.18 a gallon I was so glad it is on the company card and can be used as a write off.

I get spooked thinking about how far it has yet to go.
Is this the point where an Englishman is supposed to poke his head in and say something like "You Yanks don't know you're born!" 
.
To elaborate somewhat more sensibly, over here in Blighty we pay roughly $2 a litre (1 US gallon = 3.785 litre) and earn roughly half as much (for an equivalent profession) - life is so unfair :cries:.

Ouch.......
Their whole tax structure is different; so, don't get too sympathetic.

I used to be able to fill my motorcycle with a five.
Now it almost takes three of 'em.
Now it almost takes three of 'em.
I asked for 5 dollars worth the attendant farted and gave me a 2 cents change
its 3.33 a gallon here and its like taking it up the you know what with out any lube
I'm puzzled by this somewhat cryptic remark ToD - care to elaborate?
why is it there supposedly is no shortage but yet prices still go up all the time? Why is it if there is a shortage the oil companies make more and more profit each year? Why is it I/we have to make up the difference in crude oil prices many times more that the big companies pay and should they not be loseing money not making more each year?
