I think he is talking about here in Chula Vista, Ca. Just south of San Diego.

Stop at Vrajmohan's 7/11, got the best takeout chicken vindaloo in the region
Should have used the standard spelling - Northern Virginia. I grew up "way down yonder in the land o' cotton", and was spelling phonetically to liven things up a little.
Although given today's realities you really can't tell the difference between NoVA and New Delhi . . . or Islamabad . . . or Seoul . . . or Mexico City. I'll guarantee you can get very good chicken vindaloo here, if you know where to go.
While I would expect gas prices to goo higher, I don't know where you're hearing 4 or 5 bucks due just to this Alaskan pipeline closure. Most "experts" I have heard on the news predict ten cents tops.
$2.81 in Lancaster, SC near the Lancaster and Chester Railway station.

Morning paper indicated our government will make up the difference for us from the Strategic Government Oil Reserve...while the problem is handled in Alaska....So why all the price increases...???
So far minimal here....2.99 to 2.89

In central Colorado, went from 3.09 to 3.14 for regular unleaded. Diesel jumped to 3.33. Of course the resort areas are higher. It's too bad the oil companies get away with this.
....Now this evening I heard on the media of help from Saudia Arabia and Mexico will step up and help our government with the Alaskan shortage....So what's all the big deal of right away price increases....Guess that's easy to answer. They won't miss an opportunity to add to those great profits.

Hey Chad,
I am down under in Australia.
Would you believe we paid A$1.327 -4c discount voucher .
THAT IS PER LITRE!!!!!
There is 4.5 litres per US gallon(aprox.)
SO 4.5*1.327=5.9715 OR A$5.97 per gallon.
THe exchange rate is A$1= .7666 US
OrUS$ 4.576 per gallon, this is about average but some times up to around A$1.42/litre
Hope this helps your world prices.
Cheers for your post to as it helps us realise we are all sufferring with high fuel prices to some extent

....Gentlemen....You can not compare gasoline prices here in the USA to European or even Austrailan prices as the tax structure is totally different....They pay for much different services than we do here...It's apples and oranges.
Price just as I came by one of the stations I deal with within this past hour was $2.84 / gal. Plenty high...In fact they are getting us to the point now when it dips below the 3 dollar mark, we feel wow.... we're getting a bargin. Brain washing.
Yes, and to the comment of a post above of 6 dollar crude...and the oil companies making a good profit...I'll relate to remembering crude prices / bbl in the 3 dollar plus margin and we all know oil co's used to make plenty of money.

Actually one of the problems the US faces is that it's gasoline tax is so remarkably LOW compared to the rest of the world. As gas prices continue to rise (as they will - we're reaching peak production right about now, meaning that we've used about half the world's petroleum, and what is left is going to be deeper / more remote / harder to refine etc. than what we've already used was) places like Europe that used high gas taxes to create an excellent infrastructure of mass transit - especially rail - to fall back on will be doing OK. In the US in many areas we're going to see major problems in the years to come. As one European diplomat once said, 'all America's problems could be solved with a fifty cent a gallon tax on gasoline' !!
Let me just say this... I've started counting the minutes that I have to work each day just to pay for the gas that it takes to get me to and from my 34 mile daily round-trip commute. Gas is @$3.30 a stinkin gallon (and rising) from those oil companies that cry poor and then post record profits (surprise!!). My truck gets @20 miles to the gallon... $5.61 a day, $22.44 a week (I usually only work four days in the summer(14 weeks-hint))... Grand total=$ 1,380 a year in gas just to get to and from work. That's great! (<--note the sarcasm-->) I have to work just to get there and back.

If anybody takes the time to figure out how I came up with $1,380, give yourself an A+. Then, tell yourself that you have way too much free time and that it's a nice day outside .

Pretty interesting, also gets more interesting when one sits down and breaks down where the money goes. On average, about 23% of the cost of gas goes for federal and state taxes.
Of note around here, Wisconsin Governor Doyle has repealed the minimum markup law for gasoline with ethanol added to it, causing prices at certain stations to drop sharply. At the time the story hit the papers, Badger State Ethanol's gas pumps in Monroe Wisconsin were selling E10 gas for about $2.80/gal, and E85 was seling for about $2.13/gal. It should be noted that the gas pumps are only several hundred yards from the ethanol plant itself, and BSE has a blender's permit to make it's own E10 and E85.

Paid $2.89 for regular yesterday in Austin TX
Well let's see in Kentucky in the 100mile area I go to alot I've seen gasoline as high as $3.19and as low as $2.71 a gallon but around London/Corbin, Ky usally around $ 2.80 a gallon. Doesn't that sound like someone's price gouging to you.
In the northwest burbs of Chicago I paid $3.19 today, it has gone down a couple of pennies the last couple of days.

Update one week later and I am back in Hartford, WI and the price I paid today here was $3.13, about ten cents less than it was here a week ago today.
