To quote Car Craft, " They really have to find a way to invent some new dead dinosaurs." Around Boston, its around $1.45 for 87, $1.55 for 89, and $1.70 for 93.

Geez, it's $1.47 for 87 where I live and I complain about that!
I remember two years ago you could go to Northern Indiana and get 87 for like 67 cents, my friend filled his tank on like six dollars.

TomP, RIGHT ON!!!

My old man used to tell me about the days of 17 cents a gallon in Carlstadt, NJ. He'd fill up his 43 Ford for a couple bucks. Costs me over 20.

I just paid $1.31 for 87 octane Texaco gas, but I'm not going to complain because that's the same price I remember paying for gas back in 1981 when I got my first car!!!

A well guarded secret, I tell you then I'll have to kill
Living on a farm has some positive point, cheap marked low octane farm gas, that powers my Iroc once in awhile.

I paid $0.859 last december. It's up to $1.399 as of yesterday. Damn gas prices.

Whoops, I forgot to mention that was for regular (87).

What we need to do here is tell all these ignorant, selfish MF's in their "my SUV is bigger than your SUV" that they need to get a life and stop jacking up the price of gas. The US has never used this much gas at any time in it's history... supply and demand guys.

I'm tired of getting stuck behind some pud in a SUV or a minivan when a station wagon would have served the same purpose. WHY do these fools need four wheel drive in Florida anyway?... @ssholes!

Price in Tampa is $1.40/gallon for regular... was $.95 two months ago.

I paid 74 cents a litre for Esso regular this week,but it changes almost daily.Just a couple of weeks ago ,i filled up at the same place for 67 cents a litre.Thats bad enough,but i really feel bad for Europeans.A couple of years ago,i spent 5 weeks in Germany working,and the gas prices scared the hell out of me.We gassed up in Strausburg,France once,and i think the total was over a HUNDRED german marks.Good thing the company picked up the tab
