The price has now fallen by 20 cents to 1.80 but the price is still too much. Hopefully the price will go down to $1.50.

Damn, I miss the old days! I remember when gas was only 99 cents in 1999. How the hell did it go from 99 cents to $2.99 in 5 years when it went from 27 cent to 99 cents in 90 years!! At this rate, we're looking at $5 a gallon within the next couple years... perhaps this year!

Therefore will come out for information release soon.. Wait and see if true or turns out false information..

Ugh not again every time I pass by gas station I keep flippping the bird.....

I just paid 1.81 a gallon to fill my car up to the brim this afternoon. $18 for my 9 gallons...AUGH! But good thing is my trip odometer at the fillup read 398 miles since I last filled up the car giving me about 40 mpg.....

Now I know why a good thing my car has the 5-speed stickshift instead of automatic since my fuel mileage compared to price saved me perhaps 8 to 10 miles a gallon driving around town.

However I gotta envy Georgia's all-time cheap gas since I just live 50 miles north of Georgia, but then it would be a waste of gas to drive there just for cheap gas

There are currently 3 cars out in the market you can buy that are hybrids (half gas motor, half electric motor) that can go over 500-600 miles on one tank of gas:

http://www.toyota.com/prius Toyota Prius Hybrid

http://www.hondacars.com/models/mode...e=Civic+Hybrid Honda Civic Hybrid

http://www.fordvehicles.com/escapehy...dex.asp?bhcp=1 Ford Escape Hybrid SUV

Hmm, looks like the gasoline price are surging up around the world. Here in Australia, we recently experienced a slight increase in buying petrol (gasoline). It's about $1.00 per litres if my memory serves me right. Before that, it was about $80's to low 90's. Looks like we all will have to conserve *sigh*

When you put that in comparison to today's dollar, 27 cents sure was very expensive in the old days. Remember that bread loaves and such were sold for five cents, etc...

Use this link to check what 27 cents was worth in early 1900s...
http://woodrow.mpls.frb.fed.us/research/data/us/calc/

If in 1913,I bought petrol for 27 cents per gallon,
then in 2004, the same gas would cost $5.11!

On a side note, that 99 cents in 1999 is same as $1.11 in today's dollars.

I plan to purchase a hybrid car once I sell my old Toyota Corolla sometime this year or early next year. It will be my FIRST brand new car... finally.

From what i have heard on their planning on reasons why they raise the prices...

- making people having "carpool" to work and from work
- having people buy better MPG cars and tring to enforce the auto factory to make better MPG on SUV's
- researching and funding for New Oil Refinaries to make it less pollute.
- middle eastern charges more on oil per barrel
- war
