That map you linked to says the highest national price is 5.40. There are no stations listed in the area you show with that price. In fact, your map shows no local prices at all.

I'd give Frankfort a call.

Gov. just issued the gouging bill effective immediately. Let them know what's going on and they should get someone down there.

In the meantime. Don't buy it!

I don't feel like registering right now, but this post seems fishy. I live in Kentucky also...and first of all, gas hasn't been under $3 here in quite some time, and second of all, gas is not over $5 either.

I call bs. Granted I don't live exactly where this person does, but I do live in the state and I know our gas trends.

And about the hurricane...please. Show a little respect for the huge amount of damage it's going to do. I've got family in Galveston and some of us care more about people having houses to come home to than a spike in gas prices. I mean yeah, high gas sucks, but imagine coming home to nothing after this this monster comes through.

Convert our salaries to your salaries and you will see that you are likely double income, double expenses.

my opinion would be that I was used to paying what I was paying (around $3.75/gal). I was even complaining about the $0.20 increase that happened in between the times I bought gas. It used to be ridiculous for gas to fluctuate even $0.05 now and then. (Not to mention the fact that when I bought my first car gas prices in my area were $1.65/gal - and I have a picture of that back home) Now instead of $0.20 more I will be paying at least $1.25 more per gallon! My tank can hold 12 gallons. So last week I was paying around $45 at the pump and this week I can expect to throw away upwards of $60. I also have to make it known that when going to work it is almost a 30 minute drive to and from, and I work 4-5 days each week. Then there is the fact that I am a college student and have to drive to and from classes - at least a 15 minute trip to and from. And, since I am a student I am only working part time for a little more than my state's minimum wage. not funny but for some reason I'm laughing...

My opinion is that based on the amount of gas I use and the amount of money that I make I will be nervous about paying my bills this month.

My opinion is that I feel violated - its not fair that I need to buy this gas because there is no other option, and that I have to pay whatever they tell me to pay - yet they aren't increasing my paycheck or lowering my tuition costs to make up for it.

Question to all the non- "yanks" out there:
How long does it take you to get to and from your obligatory destinations? How much gas do you think you use? And lastly, what is your minimum wage?

Not trying to offend anyone, I'm just a little upset. You may say that your price is more, but you would be upset if they jacked it up 30-40% higher than what you are paying.

I'm in the thumb justxxme and gas is steadily climbing. Gas was 3.77 this morning @ the local station. After work I filled up,(like I always do on payday), @ the same price of 3.77. No lines, nothing being said about a price increase. 45 minutes later I went by that same station and now its @ 3.87. My wife left for work 2 hours later and now its @ 3.99. Still not too much of an increase.(I've seen bigger 1 day increases) I think these stations found a loop hole in the gouging laws here in MI. Raise it a little @ a time a couple times a day. where you @ btw? I'm just outside Davison. Ohh... to my fellow ats'ers in the U.K I guess us Yanks should count our blessings. Keep screaming for an electric car I guess
