I just filled up (the mrs car) at $3.56 (cheap-o)
BUT $3.56/gal I did a little dance infront of the pump too. Such a good dance none of the beggers bothered begging  I suppose they figured I was the crazy there. And this is at the respectable place i goto every friday. Not watered down, not the little bum-spot, nothing like that. Well, lots of bums hang out at the places around there, but wont idol their for long.

I just filled up last night. 3.71 in Michigan. I'm 20 minutes south of Detroit. Hopefully, it dropped more today. -------------------- My new, blue spark plug wires gave my Celica, roughly, 250 more horsepower..

It's nice. Only cost me $52 to fill up the Celi yesterday at 4.00 a gallon for premium. It still hurts to fill up our Vette (15 gallons usually of premium) or our Pacifica (20 gallons usually of mid-grade) though.

It's just sad that we are happy when gas comes down a few cents but it is still way higher than it was last year, or the year before, or the year before. I mean, in Canada, everyone would rejoice if gas were 99.9/L again, but STILL, that's way higher than it used to be. What happened to the days of filling your car for $25?

Ok, taking a second look:
Venezuela $0.11/Gallon from 2008 Iran $0.42 as of 2008 Saudi Arabia $0.42 as of 2008 still pretty darn cheap Poor Sierra Leone at $18.43/Gal from 2008, Norway $10.33/Gal, etc. -------------------- |

Just to clarify :
Egypt doesn't have that much oil availble. So its not really an oil-rich Country. Prices are low because it is supported by Government Funding. |

Just note and quote me on this. Until all other countries run out of oil and America decides to use the last of what we have, we will never have to worry about paying over $10/gal. You can quote me on that.

i dont know... There are so many things that could force us to pay like that.
We need some aliens to land and give us some "Star-Trek" engine technology I'm sure we could figure a way to splice it into our celica's
