It's the opposite here. It's still hovering in the low $3.80's where I live in Central Virginia but in Northern Virginia where my office is, it's running about $4.15 on average.
I've even started seeing gas stations go out of business around here. One BP/Amoco that closed down a few months ago was rumored to have been because the owners could not afford to replace all of their pumps. The were not designed to go above $3.99. Now that's pretty sad.

Regular 87 octane's at $4.03 at the three stations up the road from here. Diesel's about $5.00, and my school district just got their fuel contract locked in at $5.29/gallon. It's just over 3ยข higher at this "famous" intersection's two remaining stations. I know all of my teachers are either carpooling or riding their bikes in to school. Ian A.
Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

I filled up last night and it was $1.28 a Litre because rumor had it the price was going to jump between 6 and 10 cents overnight,... I havent ventured out yet but I will be sure to post what it is in my area later on tonight.. Maybe riding a bike to work isnt such a bad idea!

ON Friday, June 6, 2008 the price of crude oil jumped over $11 US dollars per barrel. In one day. I remember looking at pictures of German citizens pushing wheelbarrows of German Marks to the market to purchase a loaf of bread shortly after world war one. We are not so far away from that at this pace. Drill Now.

A former Maine Governor predicted that Maine wouldn't be liveable if oil reaches 200/ barrel. I agree with him, the Northeast primarily heat their homes with oil. 2 years ago I was buying oil for 2.30. Right now the price is 4.40, you can lock a prices at over 5 right now. People are going to freeze or starve.

Not to be content, just to be ready to face 10$ per gallon in the near future. Here a 70% bump of natural gas for heating is expected for the coming autumn.
