I paid 2.54 per gallon a couple of days ago... I too remember when it was 90 cents a gallon, about 8 years ago. Wahhh...

I do think that there's one good thing about this crisis, & it's that it raises our awareness of our dependance on foreign oil, & makes us look at other options. People are finally beginning to carpool more, look at cars with lower gas mileage, take public trans, etc. I bought a bicycle for running errands close-by, & am considering a Vespa for stuff a bit further. It's sad that it takes something like this to happen for us Americans to get our heads out of the sand.
