Diesel is about $4.30 around here.

With my 34 gallon tank I won't need to get any gas until Monday morning so I don't know what regular gas is right now. The last time I filled up it was 3.71 9/10 for 93. I did see a sign on the way home where it was 3.96 but, it was in a shitty area where the price is usually higher.

The only good thing out of this is that my company is picking up work. We've got 2 big jobs coming up in Deer Park, TX. I'm just glad I'm in the lab business, but the price of gas is FREAKIN' RIDICULOUS!!!! $80 to fill up my truck!!!

I agree, they are going to use up all the middle eastern oil than say, OH look what we have We have plenty of oil and all you guys can Kiss out A$$

Yep, things are ridonkulous, but y'all down south of the 49th don't know how good you still have it! Here in The Great White North, gas is sold by the litre, but if you translate it into US terms, it's $4.68 a gallon for gas, $5.10 for diesel! No ****! My brother in law's Avalanche costs $135 to fill! Things here first got to the equivalant of $4.429 just after Katrina hit. I'm now trying to drive as little as possible, and I'm always looking for the most efficient route. It sucks, I like driving.
