Oil hit $55 per barrel and is only expected to go higher.

So how much are you paying at the gas pump???

Will you be driving anywhere this spring or summer?
 
here in Maryland, I paid $2.11 this afternoon for a fill up.

Yeah, it's like 5-6 bucks a gallon in Europe, isn't it? How do we get
the cheaper prices?

$2 per gallon here (actually, it's going up and down between $1.98 and
$2.05.)

I'm planning a several thousand mile drive this summer with DD. Going
to visit relatives in Texas, then to Southern Colorado for a couple of
days, then Bryce Canyon/North Rim of Grand Canyon/Zion Nat'l Park area,
then Yellowstone, then back home to Minnesota. If gas prices go much
higher I may have to scale the trip back a little.

Best regards,
Bob

You're talking some 6,000 miles... fuel cost would depend on your
vehicle's gas mileage... sometimes it's less expensive to leave your
gas guzzler at home and to rent a miserly vehicle, and you won't put
all those miles on your own vehicle, plus those kind of trips are often
really hard mileage journeys... run into a bit of hail or a quickie
sand storm and you'll wish it were a rental... been there (many times),
done that (many times), I know precisely what I'm talking about.

Um, we invade oil-rich nations?

Was this a trick question?

I figure I'll take the Buick; it looks like a gas guzzler, but it gets
almost 30 miles per gallon on long trips, and it's comfortable to drive.
And I think the whole trip is "only" 4500 miles. (The round trip to
Houston is about 2400 miles.)

Also, DD will have her driving permit by then but not her license. I
want to look into whether she can legally drive in other states or not;
I'm pretty sure any rental car agreement would not let her drive. Even
if the permit is only good in MN, there's several hours of driving that
she could do at the beginning and end of the trip.

Depending on the price of gas and the price of discount plane tickets,
we might fly to Houston for a few days and then fly back to MN. Then
drive to Yellowstone for a week and forget about the Utah part.

Some day I want to fly out to Las Vegas or Denver and rent a Jeep
Cherokee for a week and go prowling around the badlands or high country
on the 4WD roads. You definately don't want to take your own car on
some of those roads! (It's kind of funny to go into trip planning
software and tell it you want to go from Aspen Colorado to Crested
Butte. Some of the local roads it will try to send you down over the
Elk Mountains are barely passible by horse.)

Best regards,
Bob

I have to commute 70 miles a day. The train is too expensive, and ticket
prices go up with gas increases. I paid 2.34 per gallon tonight, but I
only bought 2.5 gallons. I ride a motorcycle now, which has rolled gas
prices back to the 1970s for me. :)

Last weekend I took a trip up to San Francisco (from Los Angeles), and
put 900 miles on the bike. Not only was it fun (we found some *****en'
back roads), but I was averaging 40 miles per gallon on a vehicle that
will keep pace with some cars with brawny V-8s. Yeehaw!

What, me worry?

~$1.75 for Regular Unleaded, here in the Houston area.

Yeah--to the airport, as we'll be traveling by air.

I bought my mother's 97 Buick last fall when she had to give up her licence.
That car gets to 35 mpg.
 
$1.85 yesterday when I filled up my truck here in DFW, Texas.
 
I get a kick out of the complaining about gas prices. the news really gets
people worked up. with the rate of inflation gas prices are at a record low. it
should be way more money then it is.

Be that as it may, if you drive a long distance to work, it takes a big bite
out of the budget. I paid 1.99/gal tonight here in Phoenix, probably the
lowest price in the area. I've seen many stations at 2.09 and above.

In Vancouver, western Canada, anything below 90 (Canadian)
cents per litre would be a miracle worthy of reporting to the
Vatican. Conversion to USD/gallon is left as an exercise for
the student. This is still laughably low to anyone from Europe.
We'll get used to it.
