I seriously will start catching the bus if it ever gets to $4 here.

$3.84 regular unleaded here in Honolulu.

There was an article this morning that prices on Nantucket jumped 60 cents overnight. Regular there is now $4.56. Somehow it got out that prices were going to go up today so people were lining up yesterday to get gas.

I think we're paying like $3.40ish. Already my coworker & i are talking about car-pooling. There's no bus and the train would take 3x as long.

For regular? I pay that for premium. But I'm sure that's what we'll be paying for regular before too long...

As Pump Prices Soar, Buyers Flock to Small Cars
 
As Pump Prices Soar, Buyers Flock to Small Cars
DETROIT — Soaring gas prices have turned the steady migration by Americans to smaller cars into a stampede.
In what industry analysts are calling a first, about one in five vehicles sold in the United States was a compact or subcompact car during April, based on monthly sales data released Thursday. Almost a decade ago, when sport utility vehicles were at their peak of popularity, only one in every eight vehicles sold was a small car.

$3.75 in WV yesterday. Thank god I don't drive. I don't know how I'd be able to afford that on top of all other living expenses.

Are any of you drivers actually cutting back on your driving? THat's something I'm not really getting. Prices are through the roof but folks still don't mind driving everywhere.

In Nantucket, they have to ship the gas over there. Everything comes over on boat or plane, which is very costly. Gas prices are always higher on the islands, because they have to pay more to get it over there. Good thing they limit how many cars can come over each day.

We have totally cut our driving to the minimum. In fact, I was supposed to see my "big sister" today and it's not in the budget for extra driving this week. I spent $57 to fill up my 15-gallon tank the other day. It has to last til next week.:(

Funny, oil is down per barrell, but gas goes up at the pump.:mad:

We are told that people are driving less and there is a surplus of oil?:rolleyes:

I cannot ride a bus, I have to drive owning a small business, but 4.5 miles a day isnt bad.

If I make shopping trips, I go to the closest places for Gas and Grocerys. Thank goodness, they are all close and I love people who say if gas gets higher I may ride the bus!:eek:

Start riding it now!:rolleyes:

Many of us don't have much choice. I have to go to work everyday and that's the bulk of my driving. There are no mass transportation options for me. If there were, I'd take mass transport in a heart beat.

ETA: Meant to note, $3.49 today, so it came down a few cents.
