Radaro, I understand your frustration, but I KNOW it will get worse before things get better.  I'm not going to b*tch about gas prices when theres folks in other locations with tougher situations than we have.

I agree with you to a point, and people should just be patient and understanding with the price of gasoline.  We knew this was a possiblity last year.  And, with Labor Day upon us, it's no big surprise that it is this high.  I guess I'm a bit frazzled by why so many people are upset over the price of it.  I'm not condoning it in any way shape or form.  I've seen it as high as 3.19/gallon this morning on my commute in, and while it's awful, folks were complaining 2 years ago when it was 1.62/gallon. Now, we would all be in line to get it at that price thinking it was a bargain.  

Just be patient.  I KNOW it sucks, but if we all conserve a bit and try not to go too crazy with driving, it will all balance out in the end.   Right now it's really bad, but with the refineries in the gulf down, I expected that and with the end of Summer, I'm really not surprised that its 3.00/gallon.

What to do, I'm not sure...but I'm not at all surprised.

And color me crazy, but can you traslate that into US dollars for us so we can compare pricing?
