Gas prices
 

How are the gas prices in your area? Right now, Idaho is about $0.41 (about $2.90/gallon) over the national average. The Idaho DA is looking into why our prices are still so high so I'm hoping gas prices will come down in the coming weeks. Maybe I'll actually be able to fill up my tanks instead of just putting in $20 and trying to stretch it till next payday.

Paid $2.34 a gallon Sunday night, it was $2.31 a gallon monday mornin. Somebody said one of the little towns off my route has it for $2.25 a gallon. . . .

$2.14 just a few minutes ago....

My wife has found it for $2.00 where she works in Gainesville, Virginia, so she alternates filling up my car and her car. Around here, about an hour away from Gainesville, it is still around $2.50 a gallon. They are forecasting that gas prices could be below $2 by this winter. That will be great.

$0.884/ litre here right now.. thank god... they were hovering around $1.20/ litre this summer.. even my little Ranger was costing $70 to fill.

Deasel $2.96. Costs more to remove some sulpher.

$2.439 here in Maine

$2.49 and 9 tenths here. Would like to know how they get away with the tenths of a cent stuff when it isnt recognized tender

$2.18.9 today. That is down from the $3.29.9 the 4th of July

Tater,

Good luck trying to get an answer from the gas companies. Why is gas $2 in Gainesville an hour from here, $2.50 here, and about $2.80 in Bethesda which is 15 miles from here. It has nothing to do with how much it costs the gas company to supply it, but entirely with what people are willing to pay and how far they will go out of their way to get gas. If the disaparity were much greater between Bethesda and here, people would drive here to fill up. However, there is more money in Bethesda (i.e., richer people) so they charge more than Germantown, and there is more money in Germantown than in Gainesville, so they charge more in Germantown. That is just the way it goes. Kind of like house prices.

Isn't it great that gas prices and house prices are dropping now. Maybe it is because people have finally said enough is enough and we aren't going to run up our debt any more.

Couinsler, you gotta remember....big brother said there was no gouge....we gotta trust our gobernment!

:rolleyes:

any where from 2.50 to 2.80 here in Jax.

I`ve been paying $2.19 since last Friday here at the local station. I work ~ 50 miles south and gas I`ve seen around there has been $2.26/gal. Last Thursday it was $2.29 at home and $2.26 at work. It dropped a dime here and still is the same as it has been the last 2 wks at work. My wife bought it across town Monday for $2.13/gal. They seem to charge whatever the local populace will bear. I don`t see any difference in the brand either. Sunoco, BP, Shell, No Name, all seem to be within a couple pennies at the most of each other in a given area.

There it is for where my wife works. $2.03.

Now, I checked it where we live and the lowest is $2.57 and the majority are at $2.59. What makes gas so much cheaper in Gainesville?

I do alot of travelling with business. This is nothing concrete, but heres what I have noticed over the years.....

As a rule, the SE and Midwest seem to be the cheapest. S.Carolina always seems to be cheaper than most. Right here in MO and OK seem to keep prices down as does AR. The west seems to be the highest. Havent done alot in the NE, but what I have is normally close to the west.

Interstates tend to have higher gas along them than a little ways off, but not too far. Get too far off the main roads and it goes up.

Like I said, these are just observations over the years....

FWIW

Here's another one
 

This is the site I use to find the cheapest gas. It's updated fairly regularly by the registered members and it's correct as far as I've noticed. http://www.gasbuddy.com/
