I kept up with the gas prices I paid on my recent drive from Arkansas to Portland, OR and back. (We made a loop, northerly on the way, southerly on the way back--13 states in 15 days.) The highest I paid was in Susanville, CA, $3.49. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. There were a couple of places where I paid less than $3.00.
When I got home, the local price quickly jumped to $3.29 in my town and stayed there. We are on the border of Oklahoma, somewhat removed (25 miles) from other Arkansas towns, so we get our gas from Oklahoma terminals. Twenty-five miles away, in Fayetteville, AR, the gas is often at least 10 cents more, which is a full 40 cents higher than the rest of the state.
The record I had paid before CA was in Vermont, in the week after Katrina, when I paid $3.09 for biodiesel (still wishing I had my little diesel Bug right about now).
I hate that the price of gas changes daily around here. One day it's $3.29 and the next $3.22, but dang if I don't need any that day! The next day it's back up.

Sorry but your gas is cheap!
As Python has already said we pay double that (most of it is tax). I changed from a petrol to a diesel car as it uses a lot less fuel. I also try to cycle at least once a week. On our holiday to the States two years ago I couldn't get over the fact that petrol was half price.
Just for comparison, UK average petrol price GBP 4.00 a gallon, UK minimum wage GBP 5.35.
