In Maine where I live its a little over $3.70. Im not too too worried because I mostly drive my car to and from school, and I dont really do much else yet. Im lucky that the life guarding job I'm getting this summer is at my university, and that things like the mall, grocery stores, and most of my friends houses are close to my house or are a 10 minute drive away. I also don't pay for my gas (my parents do), but once I get a job Ill be helping my parents pay part of my insurance.

I remember that too! A couple of the gas stations in my town would lower the gas prices as a competition to get more customers. The lowest I saw it get was about a $1, but that was when I was about 5 or 6 XD

Please be sure to ping me if you want my attention!

I personally don't have a car right now, but I am concerned for those who do. And when I get one, obviously. I think it's about time we start SERIOUSLY investing in oil-alternatives for cars. It's only going to get more and more expensive, since it's not a renewable resource. ): It's awful that we have become so reliant on it.

But, with the seemingly increase with gas prices, are you worried?
It's about $3.30/low & $3.40/high here in central Oklahoma.

What, only $3.30-ish? I'm under the impression that it's always at least $4 in Southern California.
Personally I'm not worried though because I don't drive much.
Also honestly I knew it was going to happen and it's only going to get worse because oil is a finite resource, and we've already blown through more than half of what exists in the world. Sooner or later this will push people to take alternative energy sources seriously, which needs to happen soon any ways, because there is literally not enough oil on this planet to last us 50 years.

I know I won't be leaving here with you

I don't think people are going to start eating people. LOL

However, I think the gas prices are absolutely ridiculous and I do wonder sometimes, what will happen if gas prices go up past five dollars?
In California, gas is about $4.29 where I live. It's stupid. Half of my fiancee's paycheck goes directly to gas.

I'm a little worried, yeah. My job is around 23 miles away, one way. My parents both do a paper route and have to pay for their own gas. If it gets any higher I dunno how they are going to be able to afford to do it. I live in Arizona and the cheapest gas around me is $3.81 They were saying on the news they are expecting it to be up to $5 in the summer and I really hope they are wrong.

Well, here in Finland it's about 1.65 euros (which is about $2.1) per one litre. Soooo isn't 1.65 (Euros per litre) = 8.28460081 U.S. dollars per gallon? Or did I calculate it somehow wrong... ಠ v ಠ Correct me if I'm wrong.

But it's really damn expensive. I'm quite worried about this situation.

@
Nope, we're not lucky. The Americans have the price of gas as dollars/gallon and not dollars/litre. One gallon is 3.785 litres.
OR AM I COMPLETELY MISTAKEN? :------------D God my head starts to hurt when I try to do something mathematical.

A dying scream

makes no sound

Personally, I'm not worried at all since I don't have a car and most likely will never get one. Sucks because transportation will get more expensive though, but at least this will (hopefully) urge scientists to further work with more environment-friendly energy sources like wind and the sun.

Same here. :c I hope that the situation would get better, even though that's not really possible. Well, hopefully the scientists will find something to replace/make gas.

I also use public every day to go to school, but yes, sometimes I also need a car. For example to go grocery shopping about three times in a week. It's really depressing that we have to use so much money for gas. < A <

This is my deviantArt, go stalk it

gas prices are the reason why I want to learn how to drive a motorbike. I'd be pretty much screwed if I had a car considering my only income comes from benefits.
