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.

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% ...

1 gas station near my house has gone down to 3.43, others are still 3.48 in augusta and 3.60 in auburn area

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.

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.

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.

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