Spring/Summer gas prices

So what do you guys expect prices to be for this spring/summer. This time last year it was in the $1.90 range. Several weeks ago gas spiked due to the colder weather, now that is getting warmer it jumped again.

Yea, its some bull**** idea that the gov has to help themselves. It will never pass though because the $4.00 gas killed...well everyone. It will only make the economy worse then it already is, and shipping companies will ultimately die due to the fuel costs. and if it ever does pass I'll be either on a street bike or vespa.

Yeah, passing by several places, it was just under 2.60.
Gas prices go up and down with just about any excuse. If its not at 3.00 a gallon this summer, Id be shocked.

I expect to see $3.50 a gallon for premium by Memorial day. It would be nice to have a vehicle that can run on regular.

The only thing they don't tax us to death on in NJ is gasoline.
