The weighted average price for all three grades surged more than 38 cents to nearly $3.04 a gallon between Aug. 26 and Sept. 9, said Trilby Lundberg, who publishes the semimonthly Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations around the country.

Self-serve regular averaged $3.01 a gallon nationwide, according to the survey. Midgrade was pegged at about $3.11, while premium-grade was at nearly $3.21.
Adjusted for inflation, the nation's previous high weighted average for all three grades was $1.38 a gallon in March 1981. That would be $3.03 in current dollars.

It's 2.17 at the 7-Eleven about 1/4 mile from my house. Which is the cheapest I know of, most of the other stations are 10-20 cents higher.

This weekend a QuickTrip had regular at $2.07 and a Walmart was $2.06. There were probably 30 or more cars lined up at both of those places. Everywhere else in the area was $2.29 still. I think the oil company profits backlash is coming now that the cat is out of the bag and they know it. So I expect prices will fall a bit... Hopefully!!!

By the way, these prices are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I'm not in WA anymore, just cant figure out how to change that...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
