Elevating gas prices during the winter probably have a bit to do with increased heating costs and consumption.

ToshiroOC is on a distinguished road

Here in L.A. it varies from around $1.30 on the best days to $1.70 on the occasional spike, with it averaging around $1.50 ... all of this is regular unleaded gasoline, lowest prices - to get decent stuff, like the MTBE-free stuffs from 76, maybe $1.55 or more per gallon is normal, though the Costco gas is pretty consistently $1.40 or less

Yeah i said litre...not gallon.
So thats 2.64 usd per gallon.

And this in a country where 30 usd per day is considered a good days pay.

Damn David that's some cheap gas!! It's roughly $1.55 here for regular in the DC area and $1.75 in southern Maryland (guess they have higher state fuel taxes).

fornicatarachnid is on a distinguished road

Spare a thought for us poor souls in the UK the next time you are

complaining about the price of petrol/gas

We have to pay on average about 73 pence a litre which

works out at around $4.65 a gallon

Roughly about 75% of the cost of each gallon goes to the

governments coffers as tax
