Gas in our area has dropped from $4.09 per gallon to $3.86 gallon. A drop of 0.23 cents a gallon. The price has gone from bad to less bad. - Millet

Hehe... Our gas prices have gone from $3.86 a gallon to $3.83 a gallon... Go figure. Then again, $3.86 is the highest it has ever been here.

You dastardly dogs! I was happy to be paying "only" $4.129 today, down from about $4.369 a few weeks ago, though I've paid as high as $4.499 at some places when I was desparate!

Laaz, I went into the local small town today to have lunch, and noticed that gas has dropped once again from $3.86 down to $3.81 per gallon. - Millet

Gas went down again. Now at $3.76 gallon. That make a drop of .33 cents per gallon from the high. . - Millet

I just got off the phone with Stan. He says that gas is down in the $3.50 range up were he is. It is down in the low $3.70 a gal here now. Was down to Ned's today & gas was still in the $3.90 + a gal down there...

boo hoo, cheapest I've seen in NorCal is $4.059

Filled up at Kountze Tx yesterday @ $3.79

In Norway we pay 2,50 $ a liter.

$2.50 a liter would certainly cut consumption here.

Still, $2.50 per liter = $9.50 per US gallon (an outrages price). That is if Kjell is quoting the local liter price in U.S. Dollars. - Millet

I started carpooling to work 3 times a week. I figure that I save about $60 per month. Just enough to pay for a couple of meals out.

My wife and I are expecting our third baby (she's 11 weeks along) so the price of gas may be going down, but before long our food bill will be going up.

Philip, you must work closer to home than most people in California. At $60/month, that's about $5 per commute that you are saving (my estimate), so just a little over a gallon.

I'm retired from my off-farm work now, but was driving 60 to 100 miles (one way) each day for my other work. Even though I got paid for my mileage (per my consultant contract), the drudgery of driving did me in (along with being stuck indoors). I know that many people who work in the SF Bay Area commute up to two hours each way and fuel expense must be having a big impact on their living standards. Still, the vast majority of autos on the roads have solo occupants. Seems that there needs to be a better way. I just looked and see that Craigslist has a section for share, but it sure doesn't seem to be used very much. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/rid/ Habits die hard! I remember in my college days ~30 years ago there was a message board and I frequently gave rides to other students wanting to go home for the weekend, and that was when fuel was cheap. It just seemed like common sense.

Philip, congratulations on your baby. I can imagine the excitement of the blessings of new life in your family!

In doing a little research on the web, it looks like a lot of the disparity in gas prices between the USA and European countries is tax related. Many of them tax fuels heavily.
