.12 cents is probably a good bit of money for them. Wikipedia (not the most reliable source) said that the average income is $8,900(USD) per capita and 37% of the pop. lives below the poverty line.

It was tongue in cheek. BTW, if you don't like Venezuela, don't buy gas from Citgo (like my dad). Honestly, all the oil companies are overcharging. OPEC might be getting rich, but the oil companies are making record profits... and that's after OPEC has gotten its cut.

No Citgo's around here..

I agree with you too about the big oil companies. I just thought you were "sticking up" for Venezuela... my bad

2.74 for 87 at the BP I can see from here. On the east side earlier today I saw 3.05 for 87. Stupid east side.

Good price... I'm moving to Cleveland

2.87 for 87 here. They dropped around 4 this afternoon.

So far gas prices have leveled out here around the St Paul/Minneapolis area. Its now at $3.05 or $3.09. But I will tell ya this gas price thing is killing people! It took me $44.00 just to fill my tank the other day! I hear that the gas prices may be going up again soon. Talk about price gauging. This is bull if you ask me.

We're all still buying it though. If we all felt strongly enough about it, we should drive less and save money. We're basically whining and complaining to the oil companies, but no one is changing any of their habits or driving less, so why should they lower the price? It's simply supply and demand, there is still a strong demand and they will continue to supply gasoline at whatever price they choose, and we continue to buy.

I agree it sucks, but it's not annoying enough for me to quit driving... love my GP too much! I'll pay it.

I don't know about you guys but I have altered my driving habits. I commute using my motorcycle how's 55 mpg grab ya?

It does grab yah, but you have to think that you have to fork out money to get a bike, maintain it, register, insurance, and all, so....

2.61 for 87 now!

Herc, I have altered my driving habits too. Carpooling when possible, and also affected my decision to move closer to work and school for the summer. I don't have any fall living arrangements, though, so I may be back at 'home' with the 45-55min commute into the city.

I have no option but to drive. Living outside a small town, you have to provide your own transportation.

I live about 7 miles from work and that's about all the daily driving my car sees.

Soon enough, my car's gonna be sitting for good.

Well gas prices drop to 2.70 a gallon for regular, Im so happy, only 35 dollars to fill up.

Dropped to $2.89 for regular here... looks like we're on a downward trend but I don't expect that to last, unfortunately!
