yea, I think last week I was talking to my parents in So Cal and they paid more for gas than me here in Hawaii. I'm not sure about this week, the cheapest I've seen in the past few days was like $4.19 for regular I've been avoiding getting gas, but I think i'll have to tomorrow. Luckily I don't drive much, and my car gets like 30mpg, so I just have to laugh at all the SUVs I see driving around and the gas prices don't bother me quite as much.

Last time( 4/10) I think the amount on my tsx was $110.00. If you live in say Southport you will very close to the South Carolina border and Myrtle Beach. Gas prices in SC are even lower than NC. The water temp at the ocean near us is about 57 and rising. if you want more info I will try to provide it for you.
And then there's always Charleston, SC to consider. I love the low country and it has been my desire to one day move down there. We go down to the Grand Strand a couple of times a year (will be heading down in five weeks) and skirt Wilmington along the way via 421 to 17, right by the battleship.

It's going to be really hard to remove ourselves from Virginia as we are both natives and have long family ties to our beloved state. But the warmer climate for most of the year, plus a more Southern mindset (something that has been all but lost in the northern part of Virginia - somehow these folks dont' think of themselves a Southern) is extremely appealing to me. Perhaps one day, South Carolina will see me on a daily basis.

Wilmington has turned into a major player on the southeast coast. A lot to offer folks who live there. I have a cousin who used to live in Southport and is now in Carolina Beach. And the food is a whole other fabulous experience in the low country.

Cry me a river...

We're currently paying $1.22 per liter.... If you convert that over it equals $4.61 per gallon AND that's for regular. If you want premium it's $1.40 per liter, or $5.29 per gallon.

I knew I should've bought a Chevy Volt.......

That's why I go over to Detroit when I need to fill up the tank.

Even with $8 in toll, a 60L tank (16 US gallons) = 16 gallons X $1.50 (price difference for premium) = $24 - $8 = $16 savings per tank.

And if you go for groceries ... we're talking serious savings versus buying stuff in Canada.

Thank goodness my wife works in the US so I don't need to exchange currency.

Going back to the OP ... $4/gallon for gas? That's so 2008 (in Canada) ...

$4 gas will happen in may. Considering May gas futures are $3.26, add your state tax and profits, we're looking at 3.89+ for most of the country.

$4 /gal gas came and went here a long time ago.

It's an easy $4.50 /gal for 91 today.

I've already seen a couple of stations with gas at 5 dollars.

Hate you. Everyplace is now over $4 here for premium. Anywhere between $4.00-$4.06.
