    Had to take a spare PC to a sattelite center this morning in South Carolina. As I got closer, the price of gasoline dropped sharply... USD $1.86 / gallon! And this after I had to fill up last night at USD $2.01 / gallon... How are gas prices where you are? Tim

      It's 86.9p/litre, or $6.39/US gallon here (Bournemouth, on the UK South Coast).

        2.01 at one location, the rest should follow... the others were still at 2.09 this morning.

                  Using a litre to US gallon conversion, and xe.com for the currency conversion, standard unleaded petrol/gas at my local garage is $7.06 per gallon.

                  :wtf: What's the local garage rate (in p/l)? I just worked out what I pay for unleaded 89p/l at Tesco and it comes out to $6.54 / gallon. [edit]Just realised how strong £ is so even 1 or 2p will make a big difference.[/edit]


                  I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

                        It is still cheaper than public transport. Just. But unlike the busses I can get to work in 50 minutes instead of a seven hour round trip. :doh: You just get used to paying that much - I factor in two days pay each month just to pay for getting to the office.

                                Seeing how my monthly travelcard (public transport passes) has gone up and petrol prices have remained roughly the same, I wouldn't be surprised to find that if I drive to work, it would be cheaper on my wallet.

                                  Jeez...course the up side to some public transport is you can work on a laptop or watch movies or something. I'd almost go for it if I had a 1hr+ commute, would be nice to get that extra work done even if the car only took 1/2hr.

                                    Just for curiosity, how much of that is taxes and what does the tax money go towards? Here in Michigan, I think about $0.19 of every gallon goes to federal taxes for road maintenance, $0.27 goes to the state gas tax (road), and then there's the state sales tax, at 6%, going to the general fund. BTW, I just paid $2.07(and 9/10ths)/gallon last night, all taxes included.
