re: You need to look around a bit
I know that gas is cheaper in a lot of stations and that this particular Shell is higher than the balls on a giraffe because its next to the freeway - but its a sign of things to come.
Costco is always the least expensive but even it is $3.75 today.
Fuel in Europe has been over $4/gallon for many years now (it was $5 in Belgium when I was there $20 years ago) and they seem to survive but its going to cause a disruption in the way we live in this country. Might be a good thing in the long run. We might even figure out how to build electric cars and power them from Nuclear power plants.
