How much is gas today where you live?

I honestly don't know, I can't bear to look.

paid 3.53 today for 87 octane.

interesting or mind blowing thought...

3.53 for regular gas
7.50 california minimum wage

and ya.. what is up with HI being cheaper than SF Bay Area? (congrats to HI, btw)

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.

Oh, definitely! We have it good in the US. I travel to Denmark for work occasionally and once I did the coversion from kroner/liter to dollars/gallon and I think it came out in the neighborhood of $6 or so per gallon.

Plus Danes pay about 100% tax on new cars.
