Over here in NY they are. Almost $6/gallon for diesel
Gas Prices...
- Thread starter N/A D-Series
- Start date
4.49 for the absolute cheapest s**t gas in our city
When I gassed up the other day I got regular for $4.169.
I certainly don't feel bad about my gas consumption. It looks like I'll be running around 8,000 miles this year total, and I'll be averaging at least 32mpg.
I read recently that the average US vehicle gets 24.7 mpg and the average mileage per year is supposed to be somethign like 10,000-15,000 miles. So that's about 404-607 gallons per year per average vehicle. I'll be using closer to 250 gallons.
I know a lot of people advise that you carpool or ride the bus or a bike, but it's too far to bike to work (besides my insane coworker who does just that - two hours either way on bike) and there's no bus out here. As far as carpooling, I do when I can, but my normal routine doesn't allow it.
A thread I found on another site too:

And a few other sites. Not sure if they were mentioned yet.

I paid 4.21 yesterday morning for premium.... I drive 120 miles a day for my daily commute... bought my Si one year ago, and I have 41,048 miles on the clock.
6 months ago, driving to and from work costed me about $14 a day.... today it's over $17.50 a day.

Yikes.
Submitter Kristin sends us this crazy photo taken at a Death Valley gas station. Sends an involuntary shudder down your spine, no? "Mark Pozorski shot this pic two weeks ago in Death Valley; his record gas purchase. Most Motorcycles require Premium. It went up to $5.90/gal. last week," Kristin explains.
Over at CNN's iReport, they have a photo from what appears to be the same Shell station with a slightly different price, apparently taken a week ago, but price is still well above $5 per gallon.
Imagine -- just days ago our pal Peter Viles over at L.A. Land (the Times' real estate blog) showed us high prices in Brentwood. And now this?
You can check out other readers' photos of the rising cost of gas here.
These are the worst gas prices we've seen yet -- but you tell us. Have you seen (gulp) worse? Send us a photo (just choose the "Your News" category and the "Pain at the Pump" album).

i've been wanting to turn the ej8 into an alternative fuel experiment... but that's just out of my budget right now
imagine a boosted crx running on water
but managing the fuel would be difficult I would think.
