1.73 / 1.83 / 1.93 in Milwaukee. Fortunately I drive a compressed natural gas vehicle and I pay 95 cents for gasoline-gallon-equivalent and it almost never changes. Sweet deal! My bill is about $35/month. Only problem is I can't use it for travel, only has a range of about 180 miles. Great for commuting though and the emmissions are extremely small.

If you want to know up-to-date prices for gas at stations in any ZIP code, with actual prices and addresses listed, go to

www.gaspricewatch.com

Listings are done by volunteers, so they're not guaranteed.

I think gas in the U.S. is too cheap. It should be $1/gallon more. Then only people who need SUV will drive them. However, the only reason (not the SUV reason) why gas should be more expensive is because U.S. roads are in poor condition. Any increase in fuel taxes should go directly and only for road repair.

In reality, extra money from gas taxes would go to everything except road repair. Therefore, it might not be such a good idea.

Those that have driven on the German autobahn know what a joy a smooth road can be.

Hiroshi, I think you need to get out and drive more. I've driven many interstate highways all over the US and most (not all) are really in great condition, and very smooth. By the same token we were on a stretch of German autobahn that was very rough, like driving over seams in the road every 20 feet or so. Making generalizations is simply not a good idea. Depends on where you drive.

Patrick - I don't know - I thought your first generalization was hitting the nail right on the head (or was it the Bush).....

Have you all noticed that our gas prices are escalating as quickly as our war plans?

Gas in the DC area is running $1.69 (reg) to $1.89 (premium)

Hi Grasshopper, The price of gas makes me so angry because it's all related to this ridiculous war our president is trying to start. It is only going to get worse if we really do go to war too. Respectfully, Leslie

AAA came out with a statement over the last few days saying that they believe the oil companies are upping prices to take advantage of the Iraq situation. According to AAA, they have not seen any decrease in available supplies that, in their view, would warrant the price run-up.

I'll stand by my explanation of the problem as I stated in my post way up above.

Whaaaa! I just paid $2.119 for premium at my CHEAP gas station! And they were just about to change the numbers on the sign (I doubt if it was going down)

In the Ft Lauderdale/Boca Raton area, the cheapest place I can find regular gas is $1.69. Less than 3 weeks ago I paid $1.51 at the same station. I've seen regular as high as $1.89 in my neighborhood.....yikes!

1.67 for regular which is what I CAN put in my car in the DC area. Near my job, there's a Citgo selling for $1.46 for regular.

I just paid $1.45 in Atlanta. We are lucky I guess, gas tends to be less here than the rest of the country typically.

Maybe we should all sacrifice a little and give up these gas guzzlers that people drive to the mall, not offroading or used even for work? Do people really need to drive these huge modes of transport? Go ahead and blast me , I think its selfish, and every time I fill up my economy sized car, I feel a little bit better. $1.58 a gallon here

$1.79 in my part of New Jersey.

Patrick, I love you buddy. You crack me up. I don't love war, though. And I particularly don't love since it seems to be about oil.

Peace.
