yep the gas prices suck everywhere, I wonder if you guys have higher prices out there in cali I know over in Michigan its 195-199 for the premium(92-93 octane) They really need to find a solution. I hear you on the parking, my school just pushed the price from one dollar per day to two dollars, really sucks. I was talking to the parking lot attendant, for some reason he felt like telling me his life story, anyway he said they pay him 15 bucks an hour to sit on his behind and do his homework or whatever, now I am really mad, because this is why they must have expensive parking

Well don't feel too bad the cheapest place for gas in my area is 2.05 for 91.. A 76 Station wants 2.16 for 91, Citgo (7-11) 2.11 hell right about 4 miles right by Home Depot gas is already 2.21 + a gallon for 91.. It could be worse though, be glad that we have gas sipping cars compared to what my project gets per gallon though, how does 6 MPG in town and 8 MPG on the freeway sound sucking 91 + ??

Or better yet be happy that you don't drive a Suburban, Tahoe or even Silverado where it costs $ 40 + for a fill up from a 1/4 tank of gas...

Lots of freeway miles

A civic that only gets 28 - 29 probably isn't running right. These things are slow as **** for a reason

I heard that if we go to war with IRAQ expect $2.50 and possibly upwards to $2.75. Planning on parking the SUV and getting a beater.

what they really need to do is take off the taxes on gas, I don't know if its done state by state or what, but here in Michigan its around 40-60 cents per gallon, that makes a big difference in price. As far as war with Iraq, I hope we go to war, take over the country, and hoard all the gas for ourselves, I'm sick of these prices. Iraq has the second largest oil reserve in the world, the first I believe is Saudi Arabia. People say oil will last for at least another 50 years, some argue 150. I can't imagine what the prices will be like in 50 years if this trend keeps up. These gas prices are never stable, everyday they are out htere changing them
