Depends on where you are in the Chicago area. Near where I work, it's $3.31. Nearer the city (where The Mayor Daley imposes his great taxes), it's closer to $3.60 a gallon. And now, the geniuses that own the stations are "CLAIMING" that they are out of the cheaper grades of gasoline, and have only the premium grade for sale. That one should catch on quickly. Then there will be drive-offs and arguments and crime.....I just love America's dependence on oil.
I also heard that Chicago has some of the highest prices in the country, which station owners are blaming on the effects of the hurricane, and the fact that they aren't getting as much fuel from that area any longer. The big hole in that lie is that 75% of Chicago's fuel is brought in from Canada.

The equivalent of $6.19 a gallon.
Not that I own, or have any need for a car.

I'm seriously considering a scooter or small cc motorcycle purchase (used). I did the math last night...with gas prices at $3.00 a motorcycle that gets 45 mpg will pay for itself in less than 2 years compared to driving my Nissan Maxima. Will gas stay at these levels for that long? Some reports are saying they will hover at $3.50 for the next 4-6 months.

Wed. this week gas was .98 liter, Thur. morning it was up to 1.33 in the Toronto market. Pisses me off because you know if gas goes up at the refinery, it must take several weeks for the more expensive gas to make its way to the pumps. The stuff in the tanks at the station was purchased at the cheaper price.
Gouging, plain and simple.

3.20ish here. A few gas stations are running out of numbers for their signs. Number "3," specifically. I'm filling up with biodiesel this weekend.
