They're high.  But I think don't think we're in the "too high" range yet.  That'll probably be this summer and the year after.  We're still around 80% of the all time high for gas compared to the oil crisis we had years ago.

We'll spend $6 or $7 a gallon for gas because:\n\n- We're willing to.\n- Supply and Demand will dictate that price or higher.\n\nI saw a segment on 60 Minutes a couple weeks ago about huge reserves of oil in Canada. The reserves reside within soil.

The average price in the U.S is $3.50 per gallon.  About the same as what you are paying in India.

Yep, I'll speculate, they are giving us shit gas. I'ts 2.65 in Wisconsin and only goes half the distance in my car too. There are places where gas isn't treated here, but now are great goverment wants to poison gas across the state. One way of not raising the taxes elsewhere, just buy twice as much gas. Use 2x's the amount-get2x's the tax.

The info is there.  Where are you starting your trip?  Where are you finishing it?  Okay, so what do you need to find out that involves the starting point and the ending point?  Also, how much does gas cost today?

Gasoline is the bloodline that keeps America moving. Our personal vehicles alone guzzle 65 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel each year, and that number is projected to increase by 2.6 percent each year. \nTracking gas prices can feel like a roller coaster ride. They're down a little one month, up the next, before shooting up more than 30 percent in a year. Plus, they're different depending on where you look. Other countries, and even other states and cities, can have very different gas prices from your local Gas-N-Go. To the average person, it probably seems as though there's little rhyme or reason to how gas prices are determined. In this article, we will look at the forces that impact the price of gas at the pump, and we'll find out where your gas money actually goes. \n\nAmericans have an insatiable thirst for gasoline, and with sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) continually growing in popularity we are only getting thirstier. Just look at the roads and highways and you'll see that a severe gas shortage would practically cripple the country. Americans drive more than 2.5 trillion miles per year in automobiles, light trucks and SUVs, according to a MEMA report. That's equal to 14,000 round trips to the sun. Today, we drive almost twice as much as we did in 1980 (1.5 trillion miles). \n\n\nPhoto courtesy Phillips Petroleum Company\nA gas station in Colorado Springs, CO\n \n\n\nHistorical Gas Prices\n(Adjusted for inflation)\n \nYear Price Per Gallon \n1950 $1.91 \n1955 $1.85 \n1960 $1.79 \n1965 $1.68 \n1970 $1.59 \n1975 $1.80 \n1980 $2.59 \n1985 $1.90 \n1990 $1.51 \n1995 $1.28 \n2001 $1.66 \n2002 $1.31 \n2003 $1.52 \n2004 $1.79 \n2005 $2.28 \n2006 (so far) $2.68 \nSource: U.S. DOE  \nThe United States consumes an average of 20 million barrels of oil per day (bbl/d, according to the Department of Energy. Of that, about 45 percent is used for motor gasoline. The rest is used for distillate fuel oil, jet fuel, residual fuel and other oils. Each barrel of oil contains 42 gallons (159 L), which yields 19 to 20 gallons (75 L) of gasoline. So, in the United States, something like 178 million gallons of gasoline is consumed every day. \n\nTypically, the demand for gas spikes during the summer, when lots of people go on vacation. Holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July create logjams of tourist traffic during the summer. This high demand usually translates into higher gasoline prices, although that's not always the case. For instance, while gas prices soared 31 cents in April and early May of 2001, reaching $1.71 per gallon (which now seems inexpensive compared to today's prices), prices actually declined during the 2001 summer. \n\nIn 2004, prices continued to rise past the end of the summer travel season for a variety of reasons, including several hurricanes and an increase in the price of crude oil. And in 2005, Hurricane Katrina (along with a sizeable increase in crude oil prices) pushed prices to $3.07 per gallon on September 5, 2005. Prices settled down somewhat in November and December of 2005. But now the numbers are climbing again, with an average price for regular unleaded gas at $2.90 right now (May 2006). \n\nPrice increases generally occur when the world crude-oil market tightens and lowers inventories. We will discuss who controls the crude-oil market later. Also, growing demand can sometimes outpace refinery capacity. In the spring, refineries perform maintenance, which can place a pinch on the gasoline market. By the end of May, refineries are usually back to full capacity. \n\n How do you overpower the pump?\nRising gas prices are impacting everyone: what are you doing to soften the blow?\nWe want to know!  \n\n\nWhen you pump $20 dollars into your tank, that money is broken up into little pieces that get distributed among several entities. Gas is just like any other consumer product: There's a supply chain and several groups who are responsible for setting the price

id say keep them money will come...  I'm in Louisville KY- by the end of this summer it will be almost $5 a gallon- its already $2.85+  don't loose it. we still have a untapped source in Alaska.  you know as well as i do that our politicians wont tap it until the rest of the world is dry.  then when they finally do it will be ridiculous. you will be rich.

OK - regardless of your politics, I think most of us in the US right now would agree that gas prices are high, have been for awhile, and we're feeling the crunch a bit.  So instead of complaining, why don't WE make some small changes?  \n\nWalk or bike to work/school if you can, or use public transportation.\nTrade your SUV in for a more fuel efficient vehicle\nWeather proof your home in winter AND summer\nMake less trips (go grocery shopping once a week instead of constantly running back for things you've forgotten)\nTake shorter showers (use less hot water)\n\nCut down on gas, and gas prices stop effecting your wallet quite as much.

Poltical instability in the middle East is a cause for higher gas prices. It's ironic that Iraq is one of the least expensive places to buy gas in the world. The oil companies can't just jack up prices whenever they want, regardless of what you may have heard.

1.15 Euro per liter for diesel.  This comes out, if you convert it, to over $6.00/ gallon.  Don't complain!  I am in Germany.\n\nthe gas prices were artificially kept too low for too long in the US so now they are just normalizing.  If they had just been allowed to rise with all other prices, we'd be above $3 now and it would be normal.  I think at one point in the 80s it was over $2.  So really- it was just too low for too long in the US and is correcting itself now.

Gas got too expensive. Keep an eye out for bike-bys, skateboard-bys and rollerblade-bys.

Gas taxes provide the majority of the road upkeep in the country, which is underfunded as it is. How exactly would that help? Also, $.30 per gallon is not going to affect gas prices all that much. They will continue to go up, no matter what.
