Right now yes it is

I remember when gas used to be $1.10 a few years ago

Try 99pence a litre here in the UK

Yes, I do think gas is expensive. This is why I take the Metro. (Bus) Public transportation cost me $56 a month to take unlimited trips to and from anywhere the Metro bus system will take me. MUCH cheaper than gas.
-
No. When you adjust for inflation it is actually cheaper than it was when I was a kid.
-
Yes. If someone got paid minimum wage they could barely get 2 gallons of gas an hour. That's just pathetic.

No, it's not. If we actually had to pay all the externality costs associated with gasoline at the pump, it would be on the order of $7 - $8 per gallon. . . . http://www.icta.org/doc/Real%20Price%20of%20Gasoline.pdf . . .

It's way to expensive. It would be one thing if wages went up with inflation, but since they don't you can barely afford to get to work these days.

Definitely! Now that the big oil companies have us dependent on it, we are screwed. Yes, we can argue all day long about how I shouldn't have bought that car that only gets 20 m.p.g., but most of us have to have a vehicle to get to work, (no public transportation where I live). The next vehicle I buy will be a hybrid of some kind, so I can get 40 m.p.g and spend less on gasoline. Unfortunately, it will be a few years before I can afford to trade.
