What do you feel is a realistic, and fair price for a gallon of gasoline?

I voted 2.00, but I could really care less about gas prices. I just fill up when it needs it. There is no point in complaining about it all the time because its not going to get any better.

I voted for the $2.50 category. Whoever voted less than .99 cents is just plain being funny. In my 36 years of life, gas really hasn't went up a whole lot. The only thing that pisses me off besides price gouging oil companies, is those people who say that gas is still cheaper than a gallon of milk. ~~ excuse me, but when was the last time you consumed like 10 gallons of milk in a single seating?

I'm very comfortable paying in the mid to low $2 range.

Realistically compared to other countries we have it damn good. I voted 2.80 and up because maybe it will push people to start conserving gas and looking to other alternatives.

Gas will never go back down, its only up from here as the supply gets more and more limited, not in the sense of overall abundance. But in the sense that we will have to look farther and deeper to get it, which will cost more, therefore pushing up the cost of gas.

The milk thing is very true. You dont consume 10 gallons of it at one sitting, but think about it. It the demand for milk was the same as gasoline, it would be 10X or more expensive as it is today, until enough cows are grown to support the demand. Gas is extremely cheap per gallon compared to other inelastic goods.

^^I agree. We get cheap, subsidised gas. We end up paying more when you add in taxes and other costs. If you look at the cost in other industrialised nations the 'real' cost of gas is more like $4-$5 per gallon.

I voted $1.51 - $1.75, but I'm in a cheap mood.

Didn't read any of the posts, but realistically a gallon of gas should cost 7 or 8 bucks a gallon. that's what the rest of the world pays.

Yeah, I went to Norway two summers ago. They have more money in general (sale jeans were $100+ US and we had a medium pizza from some semi-famous pizza place that costed like $55 US) but gas was still expensive as hell. Its kind of unfair comparison though, the lowest octane I saw was 93 and that was once. Most of it was between 95-102 or something like that. I think they paid near $9 a gallon at that time.

$1.76 - $2.00 untill I have somthing like Mr. fusion on the laser to feed the Flux capacitor.

Not if i recall correctly, i think they measure octane differently there as well.
