A lot more than prices at the pump are linked to the price of a barrel of oil. Sooner or later the cost of most everything will increase.

just filled up the tank today at $3.25/gal , cost $27 to fill her up. I watched the SUV next to me cost $67 to fill it up, and heard the person complain they had already filled up this week. Its really odd how gas shot up around here, on Monday it was $2.97, and then wed it was $3.13....., and i read somewhere in the wall street journal that we actually have a surplus of oil stored, so im confused

Wonder if people will again start to torch their gas guzzlers to get out of their loans . This was due to the big hit in resale value and owners of the guzzlers being turned away because the dealerships had to many and couldn't sell them .

I just saw gas for 144.9 cents per litre (I live in Australia and yes thats how we spell liter).
That would be the equivalent of $5.49 a gallon in the USA.

Currently at 3.35 per gallon here in western Pennsylvania. I am interested as well to see how this plays out for those with much Thirstier vehicles.

I thought I saw a summary of "where your money goes" of the American food/agriculture market saying that transportation cost only accounted for 6% of the cost you pay in the store. Thus a slight increase in gas prices is a lousy excuse to turn up the prices...

I love my 11mpg Landcruiser, it just wasn't built to be a daily driver. It has a specific purpose in my life. My new Yaris also has a specific purpose in my life and I love it as well.
Got 38.5mpg on my first tank. About 1/2 city 1/2 hwy, low tire pressure a couple of days and about 1/3 of that tank with wife and daughter on board. Sure beats 11mpg for commuting. |

Currently petrol here costs 6.40$ a gallon (US) that's 1,70 euro/l
The goverment is doing a research why the prices sky rocketing over here. But i think the end isn't in sight. $67 for an SUV that's hilarious; it's almost the same price wich i pay for the cheaper diesel over here for my Yaris... |

We have a monthly payment of less than $130 for the 2010 . Cost over twice as much a month to fill up many S.U.V.s , mini vans , etc..

US $3.51 (Shell) or US $3.35 (BP) per gallon depending on where one goes to fill up here in Leesburg, FL. I was feeling grumpy when last I filled up at US $3.09/gl 10 days ago.

Now the gas prices in my area has risen more than $0.50 in one week. From $2.92/Gallon to $3.49/Gallon. I'm going to trade my Yaris in for a motorcycle. I don't care if I ride my bike through snow storm or a hurricane, at least I'll have money to feed my wife and my kids.
