What are you paying for a gallon of Premium?

Too much... Gas is going up and it won't go down to the levels we have had. They are hell bent on the $5 a gal gas as a norm.

The 35 mpg is a corporate average, so I doubt anything revolutionary will come out anytime soon. It's 2011, our cars should have been flying by now powered by compact cold fusion reactors.

ehh i would much rather have gas be around 4.50 a gallon - it would make for MUCH less cars on the road and a much happier commute for me.

A dollar a gallon is a small price to pay for living in cali... i mean we pay WAY more for rent / property value but i dont see people complaining about that - why? its cali...

Paid $3.27/gallon for 93 at Sam's Club. The Shell across the street had it for $3.62. I still end up paying like $50 a week though.

I'm with you! If you care about the cost of gas this side of $20 a gallon, you should not be driving a $30k+ car; buy a cheaper car. One straw that broke the Camel's back and caused the abrupt economic crisis in this country is too many people bought too expensive houses and cars, and when the cost of gas went up quick in 07 to - oh my God - $4 a gallon, they were caught driving monster trucks as daily drivers, and their mortgage interest reset on ARMs by 1%, they went insolvent on their debts.

Like I said on the other post, buy a 15 year old Honda Civic for $1000 and get 30+mpg. Ten years ago, I had a girlfriend that bought such a car, and it was more reliable than most new cars and cost less to run than a good bicycle. And WHEN (NOT IF) the cost of gas hits $6 gallon, you do not go bankrupt.
