Default Re: Gas: How Much Are You Paying?

I saw gas for like $3.04. I didn't get it though because I paid like 3.15 thursday. My sister paid $3.17 because the guy pumping the gas was cute. I thought that was kinda funny.

Here in the Toronto area its finally down to under $1.00 per liter. Just a month or two ago it was nearly 40% higher than that.

Some place in Wisconsin was recently paying only 35 cents per gallon.

Still have a quarter tank left and haven't had to put any gas in since Sept. 1st. It's somewhere around $3.50 though. Why do people insist on wasting their money every chance they get?
