The national average for a gallon of gas is $3.38. I am curious to see what the gas price is where you are at. It is $3.45 here. I am not happy about the gas prices but it is a sign the economy is doing better and I am very happy about that! Please post your location and the price of gas where you are . Looking forward to hearing from those inside and outside the United States!

Gas is at $3.34 here in the part of WV I live in. I hate that gas prices have risen again. It just blows but fortunately I live 1 mile from work so it isn't so bad for me.

Petrol over here in Australia is selling at $1.35 a litre at the moment. It was up to nearly $2.00 a litre a year ago. Not sure how many litres in a gallon though........

Wow I just looked up the conversion chart and there are 4.5 litres to a gallon. That would mean it would be around $6.00 for a gallon over here. Thats depressing................

Yeah, it's about 3.27 here. All I know is that it costs about $20 every time I drive to Boston and back to see my therapist, pdoc or both -- twice a week. So that's $40 a week just for treatment. So sad!

Its 3.39 where I am in MD, but around here I really don't see the economy improving, my dad is still unemployed and has been for almost a year, the prices for everything is going up but my paycheck and if I ask for a raise, I am told we don't have the money for raises, but yet we let go of three people increase my work load by double and then build a $25,000.00 fence??? Some how I just don't see where that makes sense. But yet I am stuck every day coming to work because there is no other place for me to go because of the lack of jobs in my area, and its like they know that. Sorry got a little off topic just needed to blow off some steam...
