Gas just hit US$4.99 per US gallon here today.

[Edit: Okay, it's not quite as dire as I thought. I've since found out what the idiots at these stations have done. The price is actually 115.5 per litre, but since they OMGBBQ can't possible drop the .5 cents off the end, they dropped the leading dollar instead. Thus instead of simply listing it as 115, they listed it as 155. Gah.]

It's been the equivalent of US$6.39 per US gallon here in the UK, for months.

Sounds like North America is catching up to European prices :(

Why can't the gas stations grab a ladder and PAINT a permanent 1 in front of their prices? OR, if they can't afford paint, use a single strip of tape and create a |?

Oh My God, Bar-B-Que?

Sounds pretty southern to me :)

With all the money they are raking in, I can't understand why they can't update their damn signs. XD
