          I don't think gas went up here, atleast no more than normal. But, I could be wrong. Any other more observative Oregonians?

              My boss has a smart car. Costs him $18 cdn to fill it and gets more kms on a tank than I do in my car. I've driven it, it's not a bad little car. Plenty roomy inside and I'm 6'3". The clutchless gearbox is a little funky though, not really all that smooth.

              Fuck though, the gas mileage makes me envious.

                Yesterday I brought my friend to pick his car up at Meineke, and across the street is one of the cheapest gas stations around. I was on empty so I shot across to fill up. I nearly crashed when I saw that the price was $3.06! I told him I was heading down the street to another place.

                I get there, and the big sign says "0" - with two guys standing under it with numbers. I'm like...fuck, they're going up too... so I scream into the station and pull up to a pump. The tag still says 2.80 for 87 (in my honda now), and the computer display says it too. I grab the thing and start pumping.

                41 freakin dollars later, I'm full at 2.80 a gallon. As soon as I hang up the handle, they come by my pump and change it to $3.05.

                Just beat the clock on that one - looks like I'll be walking to save gas this week ;)

                  I guess the prices in Oregon aren't really climbing that much compared to the rest of the nation (esp the East). Probably filling up today... my M10 ownz.

                        You guys got it easy. I drove back to college last week in upstate NY and gas was at 2.59 a gallon. Now, 8 days later, its 3.59 a gallon, for fucking regular! It was 3.09 yesterday, 2.71 the day before. Gas went up a full dollar in one week. Premium is already at 3.99 and I bet it goes up even more tomorrow.

                        Im going to sit on my half tank of gas till the middle of October, when I drive home, thats for sure. I might not even go home and wait till Thanksgiving. Itll cost me over a hundred bucks to get home and back, and thats getting 27 mpg on the highway.

                          People in Georgia freaked out yesterday. All the stations are empty, and they want at least $3.99 per Gallon!!

                          I'll just walk I guess, but 12 miles is kinda far...

                            Prices jumped at least another 30cents per gallon depending on the gas station. Gulf and Sunoco are around $3.39 just for 87, but places like Hess are still at about $2.69 for 87. Yikes
