    H9 - over here in Belvidere it just went down to $4.08/gal! WooHoo I'm going to drive an extra 20 miles this weekend :rolleyes:

    It's nice to finally be able to get out the 48 mpg motorcycle!

    Demi - you'll be happy to know that us farmers are allowed to home-brew up to 3000 gal of bio-diesel per year, with no permits, EPA paperwork , etc. Just another conspiracy to take grain stock away from food production :eek: Average cost for a gal of home-brew bio-diesel is currently $1.45 according to my buddy down the road from the farm in IA. He mixes it 50/50 with petro-diesel.

    Peoria area was $4.09-$4-19 a couple of weeks ago. Went down to $3.80-$3.85, now back at $3.99-$4.09.

    Must have decided it was just to fast - they readjusted and drove it back up over a few weeks rather than a couple of days. Definately noticed less cars on the road after work when it jumped over $4.00/gal though. I wonder if I will notice that again when it creeps up rather than skyrocketing?

    Gas prices up = lame
    SUV plants closing down = good.
    Companies moving toward fuel efficiency = good.
    non oil technologies getting more money = good.

    high gas prices = good.

    Yeah, how about the crap economy and rising unemployment rate?

    Gas is up to $4.69 here for premium. Although the price of regular is still $4.39. Don't know why but regular gas has stayed at the same price for the most part...

    Exactly. WHo cares about the thousands of lower-middle class folks out of a job or struggling because of the gas, there's going to be a negligible positive effect on the environment!

    Friday oil was up $10.75 a barrel that's why the recent spike at the gas pump again. Wholesale gas was up 0.19c according to the final Wallstreet numbers on Friday. Friggin' ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For a (recent) historical comparison, check out the related thread by the same name (gas prices) initiated by EarlyB just about 4 years ago (May, 2004; the link should be visible at the bottom of this page).

    Its interesting to note that at the beginning of the thread someone remarked, "I see it peaking at $2.25 and coming down after that."

    I'm not making fun of that person, because who would have known. The point is these statements were made only 4 years ago and in Los Angeles, at present, we're teetering on the cusp of $5 per gallon.
