Gas prices
Keep in mind that the price for gas compared to the 1950's has actually gone down over 100% when you take into account inflation. The biggest difference is the taxes. Here in PA you have a tax of something like $.70 per gallon (about 1/2 what you pay). Not qualified on CA or these states that have the highest prices but I've heard that some of the taxes in these states are well over $1.00 per gallon.

It is about $2.00 here in my area in Washington State. It hasn't budged a cent and we have many of the refineries here. The farther you get away from them, it seem that the price starts to drop.

I'm paying 1.67 per gallon for 93 Octane. If you think that's expensive, try this (Courtesy of Unkle Worn):
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 -- $10.32 per gallon Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 -- $9.52 per gallon Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 -- $10.17 per gallon Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 -- $10 .00 per gallon Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 -- $33.60 per gallon Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 -- $178.13 per gallon Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 -- $123.20 per gallon Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 -- $25.42 per gallon Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 -- $84.48 per gallon and this is the REAL KICKER...... Evian water 9 oz for $1.49 -- $21.19 per gallon 21.19 FOR WATER! .......and the buyers don't even know the source. So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your SVX doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or Heaven forbid, PEPTO BISMOL or NYQUIL!!!!

We're paying about $1.75 for regular, $1.95 for premium here in Santa Fe. You can save about 15 - 20 cents per gallon at some of the Indian pueblo stations. Prices are higher in other countries largely due to taxes, not refining or transportation costs. The US has pretty low taxes overall, comparatively.

I'm glad I decided to buy a house close to work (moving day tentatively 4/15.) I could have bought a bit more house for the same $ on the other side of town, but between gas and spending a couple hours/day traveling I think I did the right thing.
Now instead of being three miles from work I'll only be two miles away. I guess I'll have to dust off my bicycle and start getting the exercise the doc is always griping at me about. Geez, you'd think carrying in a 12 pack once or twice a week would be sufficient.

Maybe you should switch to the 24 or 30 packs.

93 octane is generally 1.68 to 1.89 around here, unless you know where to go (I do), so you can get it for 1.54 (I did).
