For premium or regular? Here in Raleigh regular ranges from $3.35 to $3.75 Premium is right at $4.00
$4.40 for premium yesterday.
We really shouldn't complain about mainland gas prices though. Maui is $4.60 for regular right now.

$4.05 for the cheap stuff, I have to go to Mason City for premium, lord knows what that is.
Anyone in this country who complains about gas prices needs some perspective. The countries with the most expensive gas as of this month are:
Norway, $9.48/gallon (putting 20 gallons in your Rover will cost you $190)
Turkey, $9.37/gallon
Netherlands, $8.61/gallon
$4.40 is a bargain.
But if $4.40 is still too expensive for you, consider moving to one of these countries where gas is much cheaper than in the US:
Venezuela: less than $0.40/gallon
Iran: less than $0.50/gallon
Saudi Arabia: $0.51/gallon
According to this travel website, there are only 18 countries with cheaper gas than the US. You'll need to do the conversions, though. 1 gallon = 3.78 liters, 1 Euro = $1.28.

I love the logic. Let's use the same logic applied slightly differently. For those of you who are complaining about getting raped by a 6" dildo, you need some perspective. There are plenty of folks out there getting raped by 12" long, coke can thick dildos. But hey, if that perfectly acceptable 6" dildo being shoved in your ass still bothers you, go ahead and move to a place where the ass raping is negligible, but your wife will have to wear a black hood in 120F temps.
The irony in the whole thing is that the government makes more money off of gasoline / oil than the oil companies do and the oil companies are the bad guys.
Yes Mike I see your point yet also relate to Tugela as gas here is $6.90 per gallon so 4.00 something would be nice. And it is getting ready to increase for Summer. Italy is around 8.00.
Yea ,i get, but but to jump .50 cents over night, holidays here and also summer,sound like gouging to me , sure I'd understand the prices elsewhere ,but does it flucuate like the temperature!Tugela said:
3.09 by the house plus I get 3 cents off. Just saw it for 3.19 about a mile from downtown Nashville.

The government doesn't set the price of gas, the free market does that. The Federal government has a whopping $0.18/gal tax on gasoline. If you want cheaper gas, convince everyone in the world to use less, and the prices will be cheaper.

Cite your source on this, especially since the former Mineral Management Service of the Department of the Interior was selling off oil and gas leases on public lands for pennies on the dollar. Monies paid for mineral extraction are the second largest source of revenue for the federal government, after income taxes.

Isn't this the same thing that happens each year around the country?

With democrats it's always about demand. How about not getting in the way of increasing supply?
