Default Oil touches $100 a barrel today, what are gas prices where you live?
Oil briefly hit $100 a barrel today.

This morning gas prices in my area were looking like this:

Regular = $3.15
Diesel = $3.65

I'm sure they will go up before the day is through. How are things looking where you live?

You guys are spoiled, lol. It's $1.17/litre where I live ($4.29/gallon). I'm sure they'll raise the price today though (they seem to raise the prices the second any news of oil going up hits).

I saw $3.55 today at a mid-range station. Means it might be $3.75 at Chevron.

well in my place, the price of oil is also increasing. That is why we are cutting down our daily expenses just to save enough money for oils.

On-base: $3.24-ish. Off-base: ¥119/liter ($5.84)

Mid-grade (91 octane) is the only kind available here (besides diesel and kerosene), and Japan has wicked-high gas taxes (thus the abysmal off-base cost).

Actually, the final investigation report came out a few weeks ago about all that... They found that none of Toyota's electronics or components had any faults. The final cause of the problems was attributed to operator error. So instead of twitchy drivers taking credit for their own problems, they're now blaming the floor mats.
