In Atlanta gas is anywhere between 2.89 and 3.09 I have started to ride public transportation everywhere, and I see a lot of people on bikes, skates and walking. Listening to the news this morning they said that gas has risen again overnight.

I need gas and saw the cheapest at 3.02. I would love to ride the bus or even my bike but by bus it would take no kidding 1.5 hours to get to work and another 1.5 to get home. I can work that time and make enough money to pay for the gas

Hawaii: $3.15 regular; $3.35 premium in Honolulu. Outer islands are even higher at up to $3.77 regular. Eat lots of beans, we need cheap gas!

Here in Newfoundland we pay by the litre. It's now about 1.24 a litre so that's about 5 dollars a gallon.

Exxon and Mobile are the two largest sellers of gasoline, therefore they set a standard for all. I have been informed of a nation wide boycott of these two companies as a stand against the disgusting price hikes. Join me!
