Well just before he long weekend up here it was $1.31 per litre. What does that work out to per gallon? A recent goverment study found out here that we are being gouged officially by the oil companies t...they felt that consumers are now accustomed to the high preices and will never come down even though there is no need for these prices (more profit). You heard right the oil companies up here admitted to gouging the consumers.

I heard on the radio that the US Government is looking to sue OPEC over the high prices...That's all I have heard about it. I mean, after all, Paris Hilton going to jail affects us much more than high gas prices! HA!I filled up today at Gulf in New Brighton, PA for $3.09

I paid $1.039/liter yesterday for regular which works out roughly to $3.94/gallon. So you guys south of the border are getting a pretty good deal still, because the last guy that posted said he was paying $2.85/gallon which is like .75c a liter.

I paid $2.93 today at Gulf. A real bargain considering most of the others are atill at $3/gallon and up. Wait a minute...What am I talking about??? $3.00 isn't a bargain! $2.93 isn't a bargain! Darn "big oil!" Getting rich while we're not!

Food for thought: In 2006 the oil companies made an average of 10 cents per dollar on the price of gasoline. The U.S. Government made 18 cents per dollar. I would suggest that perhaps the American people are directing their anger in the wrong direction when it comes to who is making the bigger profit. I hear certain politicians scolding the oil companies for their "greed", but I have yet to hear any of them offer to cut the federal gasoline tax.

The oil companies don't build roads. I am fond of roads. They make driving so much more convenient. Maybe we could kill the gas tax, let all the roads go to crap, and then people would drive less. I see the ecological benefit you are advocating, but I am too selfish to want to eliminate roads just to cut down on people's use of petroleum. Maybe there is another way. On 6/12/07, I paid 2.899/gallon US for 87 octane.

Just returned from a road trip from Jacksonville FL to Hagerstown MD. Thought I would pay more for gas as I went north, but not so. Best price was in Columbia SC at $2.669 per gallon/US for 87 octane regular unleaded on 6/19/07.

Down as low as 3.039 frim 3.199 several days ago. I am holding out for 2.999 [less my 5% gas card discount) . Have a 60 cent a gal on one fill up at Giant Eagle that expires 11-30-07 too.I really think that at $3+ people start curtailing their driving.
