I've allways found these "OMG gas is soo expensive"-threads kind of amusing. In m home town the gas price is around 6.60 USD/Gallon (US gallon). So in my perspective 3.50$ is a unbeliveable cheap. I live in the northernmost part (quarter)of sweden so we get our fair share of long distances and need our cars but it's a good incentive to start finding alternative means of transportation like the bus.
