... it will be in those states, and possibly New England and the northern Midwest, where prices have the best chance of hitting $4 a gallon ...

Time to pump the air into the bicycle tires (how quickly can I commute 35 miles from Waterbury into Hartford on a bicycle?)

Howdy. I already dont drive because of gas and insurance rates Nothing like the wind in your hair from a bicycle

Count yourself lucky, a equivalent price of a US gallon in the UK is around £3.80, which is probably about $7.50!!!

Maybe we should start calling this group, the international ubuntu-connecticut loco!!

I am planning on getting a hybrid this summer, and I'm in process of converting my house to use solar energy. I'm tired of burning extinct rotted animals and plants!!

$4 if we are lucky and no war with Iran. War = $120 per barrel = $8 / gallon. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz : The strait at its narrowest is 21 miles wide [1], having two 1-mile-wide channels for marine traffic separated by a 2-mile-wide buffer zone.

So 4 miles wide path to get big part of our oil out. Guess what happen if Iran is upset? Russians sold them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA-111_Shkval_torpedo capable of speeds in excess of 200 knots (approximately 370 km/h. = 230 mph )

If you really want to worry, check http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/ Blogger, former CIA operative, writes about new generation warfare - he calls it "open source guearillas" . Swarming, system disruptions, etc.

How much is a US gallon of petrol (gasoline) for you guys right now?

[paulfife]

It's about $2.65 here in Oklahoma City. This is one of the cheaper areas in the US though. I think the US average is closer to $3.

[MRiGnS]

in europe you would pay at least 5.5$ / gallone with all our taxes.

[ViRMiN]

Yup,as I say, I'm looking at $7.50 (based on 93pence per UK litre) for a US gallon... lots of conversion work going on here!

Just did a quick search,
Highest prices in US are in California 3.35
Lowest prices in New Jersey 2.68
Connecticut Average is 3.00

Here in Hamden, the lowest price station I pass on the way to work, went from 2.99 to 3.09 in one day.
