    Here in Charleston,WV it is $3.99. I have a job interview, tomorrow of all days. With gas and my last grocery bill I have to do something. Not willing to sell the tank system but I haven't been able to add anything for several months.

    Regular is about $3.65/g here. When it was in the mid $4, I started to see a difference. But I drive a 1977 POS Chevy 1/2 ton with a 305 V8. It is yellow. It gets about 10 miles to the gallon. It has two 20g gas tanks. My commute is one mile. I am living the good life here.

Jesus, this is old, I remember not that many years ago 1.25 gas, what ever happened to that? They are driving us into a depression!!!!!!!!! Good thing i'm a hillbilly, I can survive. LOL

    You are right there my friend bad day for us and not going to get any better any time soon. At least I can say my job has picked up a lot. Went from 50 hours a week to 70 hours a week and that is mandatory. But looks like I need the bread anyway and can't complain about not having work. What make it bad is the billionaire and trillionaire companies in a time of crisis sock it to the poor man. Are we really sure this is a free country or just getting controlled by the MAN.

    My earliest recollection is 48 cents a gallon at the local Astro station. I was very young. My Dad was actually complaining about the gas prices as we drove by. That Astro was always the cheapest around.

    Yes but I mean just a few years ago, bout 8 I guess it was, it was just a little over a buck a gallon, but now that seems like a pipe dream.
