I don't know where the picture was taken. I found it on Netscape's homepage. .
I somehow feel the $2.96/gal I paid last night was a bargain.
You should always use a credit card with rewards/rebates when buying gas. I have a Citibank Dividends Card and get 5% cash back on gas purchases. I found a list of current credit card offers here. 10% back looks pretty good. I strongly advise going directly to the credit card company's site or contacting them directly via the phone when applying for credit.

• Don't Top Off: Many studies have shown that the "top off" usually remains in the hose or is lost to evaporation. Don't bother!
• Avoid Sudden Stop and Go: Driving less aggressively WILL increase your gas mileage. Rapid acceleration and braking burns more fuel and is harder on your vehicle. Using cruise control is the most efficient for gas mileage.
• Tire Pressure: Driving on tires that are not fully inflated can cost you 10% or more in lost gas. Check your pressure once a month.

Looks like Blksnake is in So-Cal......great find bro, terrible price! 
In southern ONtario (Canada), yesterday I paid $1.09/liter which converts to
$4.12 (CAD) per U.S. gallon. Convert the $4.12 to U.S. dollars, you get $3.38 USD/ for one US sized gallon of gas in Canada.
Usually your gas is cheaper than ours so it may just mean that there is a big jump in prices here coming again soon. UGGGGG.
Canucks, how does $1.20 to $1.30/liter or more sound?
Too G.D. much -- on both sides of the border....but the experts say higher prices are in store.
Oil topped $70 USD per barrel today.

Good info, got to check into that. But HOLY, $4 for a gallon of gas, thats insane. I thought paying $50 for a full tank was bad enough, usually i was $40.
But whats the point of driving the G if we don't drive aggerssively ONCE in a while, its just plain boring.
