    I never thought I'd be so happy at finding gas just under $2/gallon. In Iowa it's about $2.10 a gallon and Nebraska $2.14.

    I remember about 6 years ago it was like $1.30 a gallon and my dad was outraged by the high prices:laugh:

    static int Sqrt(int x) { if (x<0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); int temp, y=0, b=0x8000, bshft=15, v=x; do { if (v>=(temp=(y<<1)+b<>=1)>0); return y; :omg:

      Don't get me wrong...I remember it being less than $1.00 per gallon. But this is the first time I can remember in about 3 years it being below $2.00 per gallon.

        In the middle of summer I paid $1.19/litre...Today gas was $0.92/litre

        It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

          My dad would tell me stories of when he was a kid he would fill his mini-bike up with gas and it was like $0.25 a gallon. That was in the 1970s

            Starts from $2.47 here, and that's for a f-ing regular... Never understood why IL has one of the highest gas prices in the nation, almost as bad as CA. What gives?

              I've been meaning to ask - we've been paying $1.50 odd a litre, and right now it's as low as $1.06, is that the case everywhere ?

                      Doing a quick google conversion (1.99 usd per gallon in aud per litre) works out at about $0.70/l in Aus. I filled up for $1.10 last week and thought that was a bargain. But, on the bright side, we back up to $1.27ish this morning....:sigh:

                        Lucky one you are. Here in germany we are currently at about 1.20 € per LITRE! 1.20€ * 1.267 = 1.524US$ * 3.785 = 5,77US$ per gallon! Seeing this do you really think 2$ per gallon is much?

                          In my part of the UK (which isn't even the most expensive!!!) unleaded pump petrol currently retails at approximately £0.89 per litre. This isthe equivalent of $6.37 per US Gallon!!!! Now you know why the UK population aren't permitted to carry arms.

                            $0.52 = $2/3.7854118 (litres in a gallon) €0.408672 = $0.52 (Courtesy of XE.com) Unleaded Petrol is currently averaging at €1 a litre here (Courtesy of IrishFuelPrices.com) Seems to me like your getting a good deal, what litre engine is your car ?

                                      In Denmark (and AFAIK the rest of europe) the prices are almost an all-time high at the moment.

                                        That's nothing - we passed a petrol station in Hampshire last night which was selling for £1.05 per litre - $7.52 per US Gallon. X|

                                          I'd have no idea were it not for the filling station over the road. £0.86 per litre, which is around 10p cheaper than a month ago! Ah, the joy of using a bicycle to get to work :-D
