Yeah, I’m sure we’ll be caught up to you very soon. I haven’t been to town recently to see how much the price per gallon has increased since I last posted, but I’m confident it has. ---

In my earlier post, I commented not realising that there is quite a difference between the Imperial gallon and the US gallon (learn summat every day wot!) So as of today, petrol (gas) in southern Australia is hovering around $4.69 (AUD) a gallon, the US gallon to be precise. 🙂 ---

I paid $4.63/gallon today, up from $4.05/gallon the last time I filled up and posted. (Oregon.) The attendant (we still have those) and I chatted while the tank was filling, and he mentioned the price had jumped 20 cents just since yesterday. And said it would probably jump again tomorrow, so at least I beat that increase. Till the next time I fill up. ---

$4.30/gallon at the same place where I paid $3.50/ gal 17 days ago. It looks like I gas up every 17 days or so. (I live close to work.) ---
