Premium(93) is up to $3.29 here for the cheapest, last night I got filled up for 2.93 a gallon at a secret spot, but he ran out of gas. Its going to start to hurt to boost in the car without wincing knowing Im using all that gas =/. Good thing I drive to school and work and out a few places, Ive been riding with my friends that have 4 cylinders. Usually we ride in my car, so its a weird switch.

I paid 1.56 a litre up here, which if I am not mistaken, there is 3.78 liters in a gallon, so I am paying over $4 per gallon, regular is going for 1.36 a liter. OUCH

I only drive 20 miles per day. I've just cut back on the number of trips I take to the coast. No biggie yet.

Last I checked, it was around 2.90 average for 87 here in Denton. All this gas junk starts right after I start college away from home .. *expletive* I don't use premium, though.  I heard it was like 6 dollars or so in Lousiana and Georgia, because of Katrina.

I'm driving around like I have an egg under my gas pedal. I'm currently seeing 20mpg, up from a lead-footed 17mpg last week.

$3.19 for 87 here  It went up from $2.99 this morning, and I got lucky to fill up right before it changed. It's pathetic that everyone's like "Yes, I got my gas for $2.99! Woohoo!" when about a year ago, everyone was crapping their pants because gas was over $1.50 a gallon!

When I bought mine off the lot (didn't know I was going to buy a car when I woke up that day), I said I wanted a coupe and sunroof. For the first time since I bought it, I'm glad he had a loaded GT instead of a stripped down GTP. Gas is bad enough for 87.

Had to fill up today, $2.99 a Gal. That was $39.53. I'm thinking of filling up whenever my car reaches just below 3/4 tank. Must be the shape of our tanks cause once I get bleow half a tank, it goes quickly from there. Probably all in my mind, but it makes me feel better. Keith

You guys are all paying $3.19 for premium, and I'm getting shafted paying $3.19 for regular 87!!! That's some crap! Oh well, there's some states and some cities paying over or close to $4 so I guess it could be worse.

Think our gas is high? Oh wait, nevermind...
Amsterdam, Netherlands: $6.48
Oslo, Norway: $6.27
Milan, Italy: $5.96
Copenhagen, Denmark: $5.93
Brussels, Belgium: $5.91
Imagine if these countries ever had a shortage like what we're having...
