RE: GAS PRICE
You think that's bad.....$5.40 a U.S gallon for premium in the Ottawa, Canadaregion. In Montreal it's around $5.80 for premium. They say it will go up to around $6.00 for Ottawa and $6.80 for Montreal within the next few months[:@] And that's for regular. Somthing has to happen, cause we are sufering in all sphere of life. Can't wait for Bush to be done, hoping you guys will elect someone with half a brain next time around.

RE: GAS PRICE
Just to be the counter-point here.......All I hear everyday at work, the grocery, the radio, the stupid Liberal media that has led the "Consumer Panic Campaign of '08" and everywhere else is how the world is coming to an end because we all have to pay more for gas. This all seems crazy to me.
Ifan SUV cost $45-50 to fill up two years ago and now costs $75-80 to fill up now, that comes to approx $1300 a year more which comes to an extra $25-30 per week! We smoke cigarettes at $5 a pack and talk on luxury-item cell phones for $50+ a month and have digital TV signals costing $75-100 a month but no one says a darn thing about any of that - why is the cost of fuel so special? I guess we are lucky considering the fuel prices around the world.
To blame the president who would like to drill and produce more crude here and cannot does not make alot of sense. (The area of Alaska that would be "disturbed" by drilling there is the same size area as a postage stamp sitting in the corner of a football field endzone) As long as we keep buying oil from people who hate us and want to kill us, we will have problems with prices. Furthermore, even if we do produce it here, who wants the government 'regulating' what the free enterprise companies can charge for it? Not me. I don't want to live in that kind of country.
The market should determine what a gallon of gas will fetch, so as long as we need it to fuel our love of driving, IT IS WHAT IS IS. By the way, what should gas cost and why? Anyone.....anyone.......anyone. If I hear one more person here in my town cry about losing their home, job, cars, pets because their fuel costs are $25-30 more per week, I will vomit!!
93 octane forever.

RE: GAS PRICE
Code:
$ 3.79 for 91 in Southern CA. Our pumps are set to dispence a maximum of $75.00 per transaction. Usemy card for the first portion and then pay cash to top off. MWmG
52 Cents in 6 months. Follow the trend and in 2 years the price may be $6.41/gl.
I was listening to NPR radio- an expert said,the solution is to sell gas by the 1/2 gallon. The logic is that consumers will feel more comfortable in spending since the displayed price is more familure.
