| I feel it's a bit spendy. |
I remember my dad bitching about gas getting close to $2/gal 10 years ago, 5 years before that and I remember him bitching about it getting close to $1/gal  Right now it's pushing over $4 average around here and when summer comes around it'll get even worse, some places are already over $5  |

My response:
Gasguddy.com! eta We can still find gas for around $3.26 or even a little less but I'm betting we'll see $4.xx by the end of summer. |

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time. The green light flashes, the flags goes up, Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup. They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank, Fuel burning fast on an empty tank, Reckless and wild they pour through the turns... |

Fed’s Yellen: Full steam ahead on QE3
Yellen’s comments add weight to the idea the Fed will maintain an $85 billion-a-month bond purchase program at its next meeting on March 19-20. http://articles.marketwatch.com/2013-03-04/economy/37420629_1_vice-chair-janet-yellen-asset-purchases-bond-purchase-program I can't think of any other reason for gas to be as expensive as it is at this point in time. Plenty of cheap US sourced crude available. Might be higher due to exports of refined product. Gulf coast refineries have been shipping more and more gas/distillate to Latin America and the Caribbean since US-Canadian sourced feedstock can be almost $20 a barrel cheaper than crude on the world market. That, along with cheap natural gas for firing the refineries gives them a competitive edge. That would tend to keep the supply of gas/distillate lower (and the prices higher) in the US. |

Sitting around $3.75 around here. Remember when the quantity dial went faster than the $ dial? You must be a young 'un. I started driving when So.California gas was at about 55 cents/gallon. eta For best gas prices in yer area, visit gasbuddy.com You're welcome. |

Takes $20 to fill up the fucking lawn mower. THE FUCKING LAWN MOWER!!! Remember the days of a 5 gal can in the building that didnt even take $5 to fill it up?
