our min wage is 6.85 an hr... gas right now is running depending on which side of town ur on. 2.98 a gallon to 3.02 a gallon, so here if you have enough gas already to drive 10 miles you can get it cheeper than the south side gas prices lol...

i am in North Carolina, it is 3.07 here, not far behind Cali, about 17 cents behind, (i called my ex mom in law, she lives in the bay area), last January, we were about .80 cents different.
think also the the west coast makes more per hours then we do here.
i am not just guessing this, i was born and raised in Cali. help the same job there as i do here.

Uh huh and here in Fresno a 1600 sq ft house on a 1/5 acre goes for over $310,000.00. While we're paying $3.20 for gas!

We're paying over a pound a litre here now, £1 (UK) = $2 (US). And yes i said a litre NOT a gallon. You have no idea how cheap you have it over there!

ok here it goes after some research on my area here is where everything fits in,... the adverage worker here gets paid 7.50 an hr, they work about 8hrs a day . thats 60 a day, and they work about 32 hrs a week, thats 320 a week.. the average tax rate is about 12% thats equals out to 281.60, thats without state, city and ssi deductions. them 3 combined equals out to 10 % so here we go again with the math lol... now we're down to 253.44 a week, where they work depends on them but knowing from my own personal driving it can be anywhere from 1/2 mile away to 20 miles away some even more. so lets just say that most of us are driving cars that the gas tank holds about 20 gallons of gas at 2.98 a gallon, thats about $59.06, and we have to refill at least one more during the week. so on a adverage work week driving the same each week in total we are paying 119.20 only on gas. taking that away from the 253.44 it leaves us with. 134.24 for food, bills, rent, car payments, kids expenses. so on the bases that we are paying a lil under half of our wages on gas actualy sucks lol...

Averaging 2.79 here. I wish I was back in Morocco NOW where we can fill our tank for the equivalent of 3 US dollars. If people are going to use foreign gas prices then the equivalent should be given in US dollars. Spain I am sure will be much more expensive as when I lived in the UK we were paying something like 5 US dollars per gallon. Countries like the UK, most of Europe and other places which sell by the litre cost so much more! So, my friend MrS, quit ya bitchin'! hahahahaha!

I love Jersey! The cheapest I've seen here was $2.67 for regular and the most expensive was $2.85 for regular. And mind you, this is Northern NJ where everything is nearly as expensive as NYC. If I were to go south past Trenton I'm sure things would get even cheaper. But I have to agree, it's still too much for gas. And last time I checked our minimum wage was $5.15.

$1.30 a litre, but in the next few weeks until after christmas, they're predicting at least $1.50, and as the englishman mentioned, that's per litre (roughly 4 litres to a gallon)
