I could probably use the exercise anyway! @Heather, if my travels to Vegas have taught me anything, it's that it's worth the trip away from the Strip for just about everything. Food, souvenirs, gas... @CJCM We are able to convert to natural gas or hydrogen, but it can be a very expensive process, depending on the vehicle. Moreso, I don't think most Americans even know about this option. @Kim, I can totally empathize with your husband. I could probably use the exercise anyway!

Malaysia government is under pressure to increase the petrol price too. But the govt is holding to it due to pressure from the people as we are a net oil exporter. We are now paying about RM2 per liter (approx USD 65cents.... but this is subsidized by the government). I have converted my car to use natural gas, and I am now paying RM 68cents per liter (approx USD 22cents.. also subsidized). You don't have natural gas option in the US?

We're still a bit under $4 in my area though stations around the Strip are taking advantage of tourists not wanting to venture further than that. I second that ouch.
