About $2.00 a gallon. The detour to Azerbaijan might not make this a particularly good deal. ---

[/QUOTE] My guess is that those oil-producing countries in the Middle East have a government subsidy on petrol sold locally, Why they would do that, I don’t now – perhaps just to keep people happy. ---

We have the highest gas prices in the state. (Probably because of those bloody Canadians coming down here to get a relatively cheap fill-up while they’re here! 😛 😉 ) $3.739 at the less-expensive place where I fill up. Cheaper at Arco, but I use a credit card so I don’t go there. ---

[QUOTE=A Priori Tea] $3.45 for regular here in central FL. My teensy little hybrid is just looking smarter and smarter… 😉 [/QUOTE] When I can afford it, I’m replacing my 20mpg/hwy mini land yacht with something smaller with better gas mileage. Maybe note a hybrid, but definitely something with at least 32mpg/hwy or better. Around my area of central FL, it’s closer to $3.35, but it’s still a pain to fill up the tank every few weeks. Thank Og I live close to work. ---

[QUOTE=Johnny L.A.] I was joking when i posted that. But… [Blame Canada for high gasoline prices](http://www.bellinghamherald.com/business/story/384431.html) [/QUOTE] Well, sure, it’s easy for those folks out on the west coast to [del]hop over the fence[/del] drive through a border checkpoint to enter the Land of Cheap Gasoline. But here in Ontario, it’s a water border with a limited number of traffic-choked bridges or tunnels unless you want to drive hundreds or thousands of kilometres out of your way. Which kind of eats up the savings. ---
