Without getting the calculator out, I think we're at about US$9 per gallon right now. It's at UK£1.36 per liter if anyone wants to do the maths.

About 75% of what we pay in the UK at the pumps is tax.

And I'm driving a Bonneville! You see why I have to use it sparingly.

[repinS]

Close! That's just under $8 USD a gallon.

prices up here in maine are ranging from 3.55-3.79 gal for REGULAR! haha. lots of places around here are over $4 a gal for super, so ive been having to alternate between plus and super recently

One way to see it. Another way is this:
Your salary is £1000. Your employer has to pay 20% social fees = £200. You pay income tax 25% of £1000 = £250. You have £750 in your pocket and buy gas for it. In the price £750 is 75% tax = £562. Probably you left out the VAT which 20(?)%? 20% VAT of 750 = £125

In other words, if you earn salary £1000, and buy gas for all of it, different taxes and payments to the wonderful democratic system is:
200+250+562+125 = £1137, or 113.7%! And people wonder why they have problems is Greece and Portugal ...

EDIT: Before the accountants on the forum protest, it should be mentioned that your salary is actually 1200£, but your employer says it's £1000, and that what it says on your pay slip. So you earn 1200£, and buy gas for all of it worth £187! We also have to remember that the £187 includes profit for the oil company, of which it pays taxes aprox 30% ...

3.39 in Barboursville, WV for regular.

I saw as low as $3.29 this weekend. IMHO Gas should be no more than $2.50 right now.

Still $3.75 for RUG around me, with the little gas stations in the middle of nowhere still at $3.80. It goes up fast, and never comes down.

You're right, gas should be back under $3/gallon based on Friday's price of $79.20/bbl.

I've seen $2.99 to $3.19 around here for reg. unleaded.

[Hans]

2.99 for regular, 3.09 midgrade, and 3.19 for premium at 7-Eleven here.... that is 10% ethanol gasoline. The "real stuff" is about 20 cents more a gallon.

[jedwards83]

Still hovering around 2.89-2.99 for regular here. Across the border in Illinois it's 3.39. The oil companies have to be rolling in profit, oil price per barrel is surprisingly low right now.

[GoldenBullet]

Just filled up at $3.35 in St. Paul, MN.
