$2.23 in Detroit. California is up to $3 a gallon. The news stations here said all the local gas stations just put in orders for more #3's.... meaning gas will soon be $3 a gallon. Thanks Bush! Kill our soldiers AND raise gas prices, thanks!

Its anywhere from $1.93-$2.19 in all the areas I drive.

If it actually hits $3 a gallon I may be forced into robbing banks for a living

actually, this has nothing to do with bush. or the war. oil prices per barrel is lower than it was this winter, well under $50 a barrel, which is where it was when prices were $1.70. The American oil companies have realized we will pay whatever they want to charge and not really do anything about it. they are making a fortune because we all think oil prices are sky high, which they are, but as high as they have been in the past. as far as the other part, the war, it was something that needed to be done. if you don't like paying high prices at the pump, why don't you try supporting alternative fuels? I am a hot rodder and I support alternative fuels. Ethanol, Propane, Natural Gas, hydrogen. anything except electric.

AMEN
Thank GOD someone finally realizes this is entirely about corporate greed and nothing to do with President Bush, OPEC, or the war. That misled view by the general public (of democrats) was really starting to piss me off. It's just pain ignorance or a lack of willingness to educate yourself about the state of current affairs and just buying into left wing media hype instead, because it's easier to sit in front of a TV and absorb anything people tell you like a sponge. No offense to present company of course, but I see a lot of this attitude day to day and it's usually by people who really have no grasp of politics, economy, or how things really work beyond the town they live in.

Gas here is $2.26/gal for regular unleaded.
Now try driving a car that takes a minimum of 93 octane and gets 5 MPG.

methanol/ethanol is nice, but even more expensive than race fuel.
mainly due to lower demand.
You also need to have the supply on hand or be at a track to get it. You can't pull into a station anywhere and refill a car running eth/meth fuels.
That's a major limiting factor. Particularly when you live in a rural area and it's a 20 mile drive to the closest town or gas station.
