Good ones, Sharon. That's about what it felt like when I dished out $50.00 this morning. I guess I shouldn't complain because it had dropped to $2.89/gal in Beaufort, SC. I know I'll have to do it again on Friday......:P

Haha! I really liked the last one.
I'm so sick of this, I just bought a hybrid.

Interesting.
Looking at the conversions
$US2.89 = $AU3.45
1 Gallon = 3.78 Litres
$US1.00 = $AU1.19
Petrol in Canberra is 1.36 L atm
So... $AU1.36 L = $US1.14 L
$US1.14 L x 3.78 L (gallon) = $US4.31 gallon (In Australia)
You guys are doin it ok :)
If we had your prices..our petrol would cost us
$US2.89 Gallon = $AU3.45 Gallon
$AU3.45 / 3.78 L per gallon
= $AU0.91 L
Which would suit us MUCH better
Now my head hurts

I would venture to say that we're all paying too much. $2.89 a gallon is bad enough. Gas here is $3.50 right now.

I think US gallons are smaller than Australian gallons, but my head hurts already.

AUSTRALIAN WEIGHTS AND MEASURES: Metric weights and measures are used. The Australian proof gallon equals 1.37 US proof gallons.
Someone else can work it out now. My head STILL hurts.

Already cycling to the grocery store. Saving money and I lost two pounds.
