This morning it was $3.79/gallon in Missouri. There are places where super unleaded is over $4/gallon. Yesterday it was $3.69/gallon. Good thing I gased up yesterday.

My daily commute round trip is 120 miles. I have a Saturn SC1 that gets 32 mpg. Thank goodness.

But if it keeps going up...

Using Stijloor's conversion of 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters,

here in Victoria Australia we are paying AUS $6.13 a gallon (AUS$1.62 a litre).

Oh for a better public transport system...............

In Karachi, Pakistan we are paying like US $ 1/ liter. recently raised.
Apart from that we have other options like CNG which cost i beilve 1/3 of the petrol price. not bad

Filled up last Saturday and paid $3.999 for unleaded regular in SoCal-SFV (Total $75.00), but it will last about 3 weeks as long as I only go to work and back

Wow, Coury, 3 weeks?? I'm guessing you either live near your workplace or your vehicle gets great gas mileage!

Or, he drives to work - stays there for three weeks (sleeps in his office, eats at McDonalds next door, etc) - and then drives home!

That was great Andy.

They had a special on this weekend about folks going back to using horses to get around.

It takes 2.5 tanks of gas to get me back and forth to work each week. It's running about $60 a week. Any more and I'll rent a place close to work and drive home for the weekends....kinda what Andy said

I drive 5 miles round trip per day to work (25 miles a week) and I get 10 MPG City and 20 MPG Hwy

I don't sleep at the Office, but there is a lot of Fast food establishments (Wendy's, Carl's, Jack in the Box,Taco Bell, El Pollo Loco) on my way home.
