Re: How Close to $3 a Gallon are you?
What a ride!!! The gas prices go up almost as fast as the bids at BJ
 ....We have the full range of price with some places at $3.30 for super and regular in the $2.85-3.05 range... Check the stock market reports for the oil companies..all have record profits!! We are getting fleeced and nothing is being done about it. NYS has very high taxes so the gas prices really are thru the roof. Interesting how the prices go up when the weather gets nicer and folks can get out and drive. When I was in FL last month regular was around $2.00 gal in Orlando area....Working on my new hybrid L78 engine  wilma

Put some 94 Octane in the Nova on Saturday. Paid $1.16 CDN a liter. Converted to US gallon and currency that's $3.83 USD.

Re: How Close to $3 a Gallon are you?
With a US gallon being approx. 4 litres and factoring in the dollar exchange around 15%, gas per litre today here in Peteboro' Canada being $1.02 Cdn. is equal to about $3.55 US per US gallon! . She sure ain't the 35-40 cents a gallon like when our favourite cars were new no more fellas!

The Gulf 'Coins of the World' set is here somewhere too but best of all was the Esso Hockey sticker book....saw mine in a box a few years back still minus the one single player I never got....forget who it was now....1969/70? . I recall gas prices stuck at 41.9 for a lot the 70's? . ~ Pete

Re: How Close to $3 a Gallon are you?
We are not close to $3.00 we are past $3.00. In all seriousness it's the diesel that is in my opinion scarry. If diesel continues to go up everything will cost more. Probably a lot more. Shame is nobody is doing anything about it. ( I recently heard that the US military is the number 1 consumer of fuel in the world. Anyboby able to confirm that ? )
