About $2.75 here. And yes, I lived in Europe from 1998-2001 and my family still paid less than $1.50 for gas. Gotta love being an Army brat....

I've seen one of the gas stations in San Francisco with prices of:
regular : 3.40
plus : I forgett the price
Premium : 6.11
The gas stations manager said the reason for the high prices is because there protesting the whole situation of gas prices.
I'm wondering if its actually legal for him to raise the price like that just to do a protest?

The price of gas is just getting out of control. It’s a drain on the economy and if it doesn't give we could slip back into a recession. As for others who say our gas prices should be as high as the rest of the world. The U.S producers more barrels of oil per day then any oil producing country unlike other countries with high oil prices. For most of Europe all their oil is imported and Europe's Social health care system has to be paid for somehow.
If the Gov't wanted to jump-start our economy they'd open the strategic reserve causing the prices to come down to below $2.00 a gallon. Prices would drop for durable and consumer goods, and companies would have more money to expand resulting in new jobs. Then if the price of gas has to go back up, raise the prices slowly, a ten-cent increase in one day is too much for the economy to handle. Just look at the airline industry its on the verge of collapse over oil prices.

Oh come on Kevin I can take it.... It makes for healthy conversation.
Seriously our gas prices are a drain on the U.S economy. Car sales are down double digits, costs for most consumer goods are going up, and new home sales are slipping. Now while you can't blame the entire downturn on high fuel costs, its a major part of the problem and its going to hurt the summer season if it keeps up. As for Europe's health care system, I have to give you guys a jab here and there, hehe
oh btw the I'm a Nikyu in judo, so bring it. lol

As for car sales going down, could the reasons also be that (1) the prices have been low for quite a while and most people with decent (and not-so-decent) credit have not bought a new car already, and (2) since most car manufacturer have lost money recently, they need to up the prices to break even?
As for your giving us some jabs here and there... No problems - at least we won't go broke having a doctor look at our bruises after...
