sign $4.05 is bloody cheap for petrol it's about $5.70 usd in australia per gallon

 

[Zuerst]

when my family first moved to the us (tx) in 95, gas was ~88 cents a gallon

How high does it have to get before we bring back horses?

 

[Snicewicz]

Years ago I could have swore I saw 89 cents. Now here its 3.98 a gallon

Yes, its one of the reasons I ride a motorcycle.
But the main reason is that I can ride the bus lane. Hence I commute to work in 20-25 minutes, compared to 1 - 1 1/2 hour with a car. Its only 15 miles, but the traffic around here are packed.

What about prices in Turkey?
3$ per liter (1gallon = 3,7 liter)
Average monthly income = 400$ Give up your car or your life

Shame on you who confuse Turkey to Arabia, they shover with this cr*p

It's too bad so few cities in North America have a large, dedicated network of bus lanes. It makes a *huge* difference in convenience and commute times by bus, so much so that it's often faster to take the bus to/from work than drive and wait in traffic. It can be hugely effective in cities where the network is well-planned (Ottawa is one city that comes to mind). Allowing motorcycle riders in bus lanes makes a lot of sense too.

HOV lanes are not the same.

$4.10 for regular around sacramento now.

 

[aaron313]

$4.37 for premium in San Jose
Up to $4.50 in Berkeley

I don't recall what it was per gallon; but I recall one summer getting gas for the boat, it came out to between $1.31 to $1.36 per TANK, depending on whether I had to paddle home or not. And that was for SIX Gallons of Gas and a quart of Outboard Motor Oil!!

That would have been about 1960. My Dad had mentioned Zip Gas, which advertised thirteen gallons for a Dollar before WW2.

~3.60 for regular in NJ.

EDIT: The worst thing is this doesn't even being to account for the social cost of burning it...

Regular just passed $4 in cheaper MD suburbs.
