Petrol/gas prices

As they are on the up again what is happening in your area. My local petrol station was showing $2.629/gall which drew a 'bloody hell' from me I filled up a week ago for $2.289/gall.

Yep - couldn't believe it. A few weeks back it dipped briefly down below the $2 mark, and now is back around $2.40. Luckily I only fill up once every month or two.

Here here, that is very true! We can hardly complain, but we're British, so carry on!

It'll probably top $3 and stay there soon.

Jersey, I would like to agree with you, but if I add the outrageous cost of paying for bridges, tunnels, highways & high cost Auto Ins to the price of the "Cheap USA Gas", suddenly not so cheap.

Yea, I have one. It's great FOC. What I don't quite understand, is why some crooks called EzpassNy, keep taking money out of my Credit Card account. ODD, veddy veddy odd?
