Last I heard, news about a month ago in Kuwait gas is about .82 cents a gallon. And they still drive little cars
If gas was 82 cents a gallon here id have duel carbs on my bronco w/a 460 in it and not a care in the world.
Oh wait gas was around 1.00 a few years ago good thing I didn’t do that.

Here in West Lafayette, IN it is 2.81 at this one store for both 87 and 89 octane which is kinda cool...but that was yesterday so probably at least 2.90s or 3s now

Gas has been around $3.25-ish for 93 here. Prices like that make me wish I didn't live 35 miles outside town!

Not me. You'd have to give up a lot of your 'freedoms' that you enjoy in this country if you moved there. Not worth the trade-off if you ask me.

I don't look at gas prices. I need gasoline. I have to drive. I have to pay for it.

Do. Not. Care.

2.89 for reg here, but I was in Hobbs, NM yesterday and saw gas for 2.56....wtf? That was at different stations too. Let's see...get a tanker truck....fill it up.......haul azz back across the state line.......sell it for a nickel less than anyone else.......make a killing......probably get tossed in jail......last part ruins the whole scheme.....DAMMITT!

I just read an article yesterday that predicted oil would be over $100/barrel by the end of this year.

So everyone strap in. We're being taken for a ride. All the while, Achmed in his palace in Kuwait is bathing in 93 octane.

Here in rural Manitoba its $1.049 Canadian per liter, to the south its $2.89 per gallon USD, and to the east it $1.14 per liter CDN. I know these prices are rediclusly high, but (gasp) somehow I think we are all getting used to the high prices. What I mean is I still drive the same amount I always did, use my boat more then ever, and still hit the trails on my ATV. But when I write off fuel expences at the end of the year (I'm a contractor) its very shocking.

I think the oil companies are wanting us to get used to high prices. Remember when a buck a liter was unthinkable? Now it's the norm across Canada. I think it'll be a long, LONG time (probably never) before the price goes below a buck again...

Gas is cheap in Venezuela because they have one of the largest oil reserves in the world. 2/3 of all oil used by the U.S. during WWII came from Venezuela.

The downside to moving to Venezuela would be the py pay wages. That is IF you could even find a job. They have a huge unemployment rate.

You know it, man. I'm dreading having to fill up the t-bird for CJ for the first time in over a year. I can't even remember if the timing is advanced, but I'mma put 93 in just to be safe. Ugh...

Well, I only pump sunoco Ultra 94 into my bird so i'm constantly paying atleast 1.18 a litre... But like Ifixyawata said "I gotta drive so I don't care"... besides when your car drives like a toy you've gotta be ready to pay to play... :D
