Angry OT Gas Prices?

Gas is of course going up I was just curious who here is paying the most per gallon. Right now I'm getting it for $1.55. I'm not driving my porsche until april but at this rate to fill up its going to be like around $35 or so. What is everyone else paying.

In northern CA, its about $1.80 to $2.00 for 87 octane and $2.00 to $2.30 for 91 (highest you can get here). This will probably go up as summer gets closer.

Right about now I'm wishing one of my sharks was a 944. The '84 and '82 average 17mpg and 13mpg, respectively.

Hehe, I know it's going to make me unpopular, but I like it going up a bit.

Helps my company out (oilfield business).

Sorry guys but I admit to being a capitalist ***** and only caring about the money. <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />

$1.75 a gallon for premium at Exxon today, the only thing I ever use in the S2. Time to start driving the 924 more I guess.

I paid $1.88/gal this morning for 93 octane, if you are going sideways through a corner you are not going as fast as you could. Unless you are rallying, going round corners sideways is not the fast way around a track.
