1. I paid $3.25 yesterday.
Fortunately the area I live in has been one of the cheapest in the country, but it's been inching up slowly but surely. x(

8. $3.90 most places locally (northern Humboldt Co. California)....
Lowest price around is on a rancheria, $3.76. Luckily, that one's just down the street from me so that's where I get my gas. I paid $4.20 on the east side of the Sierras recently.

Traffic Jam: Truckers Protest Fuel Costs

By JEFFREY GOLD – Apr 1, 2008

RIDGEFIELD, N.J. (AP) — Tons of freight idled across the country Tuesday as independent truckers pulled their rigs off the road while others slowed to a crawl on major highways in a loosely organized protest of high fuel prices.

Using CB radios and trucking Web sites, some truckers called for a strike Tuesday to protest the high cost of diesel fuel, hoping the action might pressure President Bush to stabilize prices by using the nation's oil reserves.

"The gas prices are too high," said Lamont Newberne, a trucker from Wilmington, N.C., who along with 200 drivers protested at a New Jersey Turnpike service area. "We don't make enough money to pay our bills and take care of our family."

On the Turnpike, southbound rigs "as far as the eye can see" staged a short lunchtime protest by moving about 20 mph near Newark, jamming traffic on one of the nation's most heavily traveled highways, authorities said.

24. $3.11- the most I've ever paid for gas
I was just happy that I found it that low, b/c most of the stations in town had it for $3.19 or thereabouts.

26. $3.29
the ratio of gas to my income is pathetic. I will have to call in one day with the excuse that I can't afford to drive to work. That is no lie. The day is quickly coming.

If I knew diesel was going to end up this expensive, I would have gone with the hybrid, instead of the diesel VW Golf.

Regular gas is $3.07 here.

32. $3.45 a gallon here in Michigan.
Add that to the cost of food around here/foreclosures/job losses. Ugh. I think I may have to get another job soon. I am so tired though.
