U.S.A. National Gas Temperature Map

It’s time to catch up again on current gasoline prices all across the great United States Of America.

Click here for a cool colour-coded map of our country that shows how much gas costs per gallon (on average) in each county (updated daily).

Oil prices have recently tumbled a bit, and gas prices have done so as well from their recent near record highs. They currently vary from under $2.71 per gallon (mostly in the Kansas City Missouri metropolitan area) to over $3.31 per gallon (much of northern and central California). The greener counties are the cheaper ones, and the redder counties are the more expensive ones. Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma generally have the cheapest gas in the country.

The Road Rage Files – Chapter 14

I understand that you (other drivers in general) are going to run stop signs as if they don’t really say ‘STOP‘ but rather ‘KEEP GOING IF YOU’RE TURNING RIGHT‘, and I understand that you (other drivers in general) are going to turn right on a red light without even stopping (or even slowing down at times).

But when you do so, and you see a single car (such as mine – with no other vehicle in sight behind me) headed your way on the main road with no stop sign and a green light then wouldn’t it be so very courteous of you of waiting a couple of seconds until I pass by before you make your unlawful move ?

It would save me from drastically slowing down or slamming on my brakes to avoid crashing in to you due to your illegal road maneuver. I’d like to keep my perfect accident-free driving record (since 1984) intact.

This is particularly a problem for those of you who live in a certain neighbourhood here in Homestead that has a lot of water and a lot of stone scattered throughout. You live in a real nice neighbourhood. Why are you all in such a hurry to speed out of it onto Speedway Boulevard and Campbell Drive ?
