| They are in Michigan. - Quote :
- Livingston County Residents Feeling "Pain At The Pump"
March 7, 2011
3/7/11 - Gas prices continue to rise both across the state and in Livingston County. AAA Michigan says the statewide average for a gallon of self serve regular fuel stands at $3.53. That’s more than 32 cents higher than last month. AAA Spokeswoman Nancy Cain tells WHMI that the price at the pump in Michigan follows crude oil prices on the world market. Cain says the oil price keeps going up due to unrest in the Middle East and issues in Libya so they're not seeing any relief in sight, unless things calm down there. Dearborn-based AAA Michigan surveys 2,800 Michigan gas stations on a daily basis. A survey of gas stations in Brighton, Howell, Pinckney and Fowlerville show the price is slightly higher than the state average at $3.56 a gallon. Prices will likely continue to increase as they typically do in the early spring, when production switches from the winter to the summer blends of gas and driving patterns increase. (JM)

| I paid $3.29 Sunday for regular. Jersey is very expensive to live in but we do at least have one of the lowest state gas taxes. I usually only have to fill up every two weeks and two weeks ago it was $2.95. Even if you're lucky enough not to have to pay for gas like Shale, everyone still gets hammered by higher prices for food, etc. It's our own fault for allowing ourselves to become so dependent on a volatile commodity.

| Oh yeah they are soaring, and I knew that they would. I just find it funny how different the reaction is now to what they were a few years ago. | |

| They're steadily escalating here, but we're not getting hit the worst. Right now it's going for about $3.30/gal. | |

| Our gas is sold by the litre. Last night is was $1.20/litre. That works out to $4.54/US gallon. It costs me over fifty dollars to fill my Honda CRV tank. By the way, if you need a quick convert program, try this: http://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/ I have it pinned to my taskbar. It's not because of an oil shortage either, it's pure greed by oil speculators. Libya accounts for less than 2% of the worlds oil supply and Saudi Arabia has said that they will increase their production to keep prices stable. | |

| I can't believe that something more environmentally friendly still hasn't been invented & put to use. It seems like they're not even trying. | |

| Yup. We're now at $1.24 or so per litre, which is $4.69 gallon. It's still far cheaper for us to drive south of the border to fill up.
ITA with timetrvlr - it's pure greed and nothing to do with the shortages. | |

| Gas is high here in NYC, but I have to be honest, I just pump the gas, ignore the price and keep moving. | |

| It's $4.09 at the gas station by my house....deeper in the burbs, it's more. It's unacceptable for gas to be over $3.30 a gallon IMO. I don't know what's going on with that. | |

| I think oil is still under $100 a barrel since they got bin Laden. Lets not hold our breath waiting for the price at the pump to fall to the price it was the last time it was that low. | |

| I paid $3.779 this morning. That’s up 10¢ from two weeks ago. It's only that low here because NJ has one of the lowest state gas taxes in the country. Just about everything else, we're #1 in the other direction.
