Here in Austin it went from 2.47 to 2.82 in one night for the low grade.

I'm thinking of investing in a motorcycle or a moped. Gas Mopeds may be a bit slow (65mph max) but they get about 80-150 miles per gallon. economical indeed for just running errands around town. In the next few weeks I'm going to get my class M license.

Haven't been outside today, but looking on GasBuddy, it seems like it's $1.135 around where I live.

That is $1.135 per LITRE!! :(

Cheapest I've seen it here is 2.59, and back home in Houston it's 3.00

By the way guys, please keep this strictly posting prices, and nothing political or it'll get locked.

Uh, yeah, It's 3.50 a gallon here.

They're saying that we're going to run out of gasoline by the end of the week. It's kind of scary going to gas stations and every pump having a hand made sign saying "empty." It's just. . . weird.

Needless to say, we're not driving much. :lol:
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I saw that the price was $3.50 something, as I rode by in my friends car. I am glad I dont have my own.

Hey be sure to point out which grade of gasoline, if you can.

Oh at this point, I'll be surprised if anyone uses premium grade anymore. :sweat:

I'm so not travelling anywhere for a long time and I'm glad that I carpool to work. I feel sorry for my colleagues who commute to work for 1/2 hour to 1 hour on a daily basis.

I guess I can't imagine how awful it must be for those who commute for longer times...(^___^);;;;

I remember when it's was 2.50 a gallon when we had our boat. I can't imagine the prices out on the lake. Heh, when you're out on the lake and need fuel, you're stuck big time...

My Dad was worried we had sold out of gas here. He checked around then called me because he was afraid I might get stranded trying to get home. The highest gas I saw on the news was $5.97 at a Bp somewhere, for regular.

I'd be right behind you, buddy.

How high are the prices supposed to go, anyway?

Good question. Supposedly, they'll go down at least some in the next few days, but there is no telling how high gas will go.
