The cheapest I've seen in my area is $4.45 so I filled up today even though I still had 3/4 of a tank. Most places are in the 4.50 something range.

we just passed the $4.00 mark. Still find it insane.
We're ranging between $3.97 and $4.19 for regular here in Allentown. Just depends on where you go. It's been at $3.97 for the past few days at a few stations, but I don't know how long that will last.
Can I just say I'm glad I'm not in California with those gas prices?? Wow... I think I'd definitely be researching public transportation or going next to nowhere. I'm glad right now it's summer and I don't have to go to work, so I can just park the car and walk around the neighborhood, and only drive when I need to go food shopping or something like that.
$3.89 here in Ohio yesterday but, fortunately, I had accumulated gas perks so I paid $2.09.
$4.24 for regular this morning.
Gas prices in Pittsburgh average around the $3.97 range. I've seen two stations at $4.05, but just two so far. I still get gas at my favorite station for $3.92!
$4.19 this morning in Dexter, MI.
Thank goodness for my new car that is getting 28 - 30 mpg for around town driving.
I thought US gas prices were worse, but they aren't. There is about 4 litres in 1 gallon. It's about $1.30 a litre here... that would be $5.20 a gallon in Canada.
I was in Grand Forks last weekend doing a rescue transport and it was $1.14 CAD a litre!!!! I haven't seen a price like that around for a long time.
$3.85 - $3.95 and up.
Apparently, Tennessee's supposed to be one of the cheaper areas right now :/
Wow, $1.30. You are lucky. On the way in to work this morning it was $1.49 and most definately be over $1.50 for July 1st. It now costs over $80 to fill up my tank.:eek:Quote:

I saw on TV that a trip that used to cost $25 in gas four years ago now would cost $100.
I got $4.21 today. Cheapest in town. Sunday, I saw $4.09 the next county over, I freaked out because it was the cheapest I've seen in a long while, but I was in my mom's car so I couldn't fill up.
The BC government is playing games with us, but then that's nothing new. I have to fill up my gas tank on the way home tonight and I can only imagine how long the lineup is going to be.:rolleyes: The Carbon Tax kicks in at midnight tonight. The above is a quote from our local news website. Oh yes, and I did receive my $100 cheque (dubbed the Climate Change Rebate Cheque) from our beloved government that is urging us to use it for things like eco friendly light bulbs, put towards the purchase of a bike or something that's "green". I wonder how many people actually used it for that purpose? Mine was put towards bills. They giveth, and they taketh away twofold. :rolleyes:Quote:
With gas prices in Vancouver flirting with $1.50 a litre, much of the attention has been on the 2.4 cent a litre provincial carbon tax that kicks in tomorrow. However, provincial tax cuts also coming into effect tomorrow mean your pay cheque should be bigger as well.
Victoria has promised the carbon tax will be 'revenue neutral' because it will be offset by cuts to provincial income and business taxes. Provincial income taxes drop 2% effective tomorrow, but because the cut is applied to your income for the entire year, the reduction you'll see on your pay slip will be 4%.
I bought gas yesterday for $3.19! I used my discover card, so I will get 5% back from the total purchas as well. I had gone shopping in the next town southwest of me. Here it is $3.52. Quite a savings I thought!
The gas station that I normally use is down to $3.99 and I'm hoping that it'll soon go down further.:)
The price of gas in Pittsburgh is 3.63 a gallon. I hope it continues to go DOWN!
I bought gas at the local Stop N Shop, and I paid $2.98 a gal. with our discount. Unfortunately, they are ending their gas discount program in a week. (I think the pump price was about 3.69)
Isn't it pathetic that we think paying $3 a gallon is a deal now?:rolleyes:
I just moved to an area where the cost of living is much less than where I used to live, and it's around $3.49- $3.59 here. Where I moved from had some of the highest tax on everything in the country. (food, property, etc.)
I've seen $3.51 at a bunch of places here in Allentown. Other places I've seen $3.55.
Not too bad. Hope it keeps going down!
It was $3.27 for regular unleaded yesterday at a local gas station. Never thought I would say that is "good", but it is, all things considered.
It's $3.46 near me but about 35 miles down the road it's $3.21.
The cheapest in CT is around $3.67.
Wow.Quote:

Sooo excited... the price dropped from $3.90 to $3.25 in like less than three weeks!! It just keeps going down! I think St. Louis has the lowest prices in the nation now... woohoo!
We're still on the high end here. I just bought some today for $3.89 and that's cheap for my area.
It's still selling for $3.79 in the Ann Arbor area.
Yesterday, the lowest price in Pittsburgh was $3.57 a gallon. This was at my favorite gas station!
$3.32 this morning in town. When it gets below $2.00 I'll get enthuiastic about it. :rolleyes: Ain't never gonna happen! :(
Bringing this old thread back up again because the price of regular unleaded went up 14 cents between yesterday and today at the Speedway station down the block from where I work. News radio gives low gas prices once each hour - in other suburbs they're saying $2.51, $2.54 -- but at the Speedway it was $2.65 yesterday, $2.79 today! What gives, I wonder? I try to get it when I go to church - one county over and it's about a nickel a gallon less because of different taxes.
I never look at the price. I just fill up when I get paid. I figure in the case of gas prices, what I don't know can't hurt me. ;)
About 2.80 on average. Some places are about 2.50. It hasn't changed really one way or the other in about a month now. I suspect the holidays are going to push us over 3 again...:rolleyes:
ETA: I'm in Eugene...Luckies4me: have you seen anyplace cheaper?
We are seeing a range of $2.29 to $2.40 for regular, $2.50 for medium grade
Prem.
Most are running at $2.43. A few higher and a few lower.
I heard the price of a barrel went up again. How convenient for somebody.:rolleyes:
We're around $2.59 average here.
Did anyone else notice, or is it only in the Chicago area that prices went up? The Shell station nearest to my house went from $2.84 to $3.09 in one day. I'm not sure why.
We're running somewhere in the $2.50's last I noticed and when I got gas last week. I guess it hasn't gone up, since the gas at Sam's was $2.40 something this a.m. when I went by, and they run a little less than others.
Elyse - Shell is always the highest of anybody in this area.
Prices right now for regular are $2.61 (cheapest) per gallon for regular unleaded. I boycott BP gas stations which are $2.79/gallon.
$2.69 for regular in my area.
Oil, gasoline up on US crude pipeline leak
By CHRIS KAHN (AP) – 2 hours ago
NEW YORK — Retail gasoline prices increased Monday as crews continued to work on a broken Midwest pipeline that transports a quarter of the oil imported from Canada to the U.S.
In its weekly report on gasoline pump prices, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said Monday that the national average for a gallon of unleaded regular was $2.721, up about 4 cents from a week ago. The Midwest showed the biggest jump in regional prices, up 10.4 cents from a week ago to $2.778 a gallon. The average pump price in Chicago was $3.018, up almost 16 cents from a week ago.
The broken Enbridge Energy crude oil pipeline is in Romeoville, Ill., about 30 miles from Chicago. It is part of a system that transports oil from western Canada to U.S. refiners. Marathon Oil Corp., which operates a refinery in Robinson, Ill., about 225 miles south of Chicago, would not comment on whether it faced shortages because of the pipeline shutdown. On its website, Marathon says the refinery produces gasoline and diesel fuel. It has a capacity of 206,000 barrels per day.
Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service, said the pipeline helped push wholesale gas prices in the Midwest about 30 cents per gallon higher than the West Coast and 15 to 20 cents per gallon higher than the East Coast.
The jump in prices is "based mostly on perception," Kloza said, as the U.S. continues to sit on the largest supply of oil and petroleum-based fuels on record. Fuel supplies may be tighter in the Midwest as farmers harvest crops and push diesel demand higher, but refineries are still receiving oil despite the pipeline problem, he said.
"In the meantime, if you're someone who needs to buy 100,000 barrels of gasoline or diesel by the end of this month, there's probably a little bit of panic setting in," Kloza said. The price of oil and gasoline have surged on spot markets as doubts linger about when Enbridge can get the pipeline back up and running.
That's pushed gasoline and diesel prices higher, Kloza said.
According to the Oil Price Information Service, motorists in Warren, Ind., have been stung with the biggest price hikes. Pump prices there have soared 34.7 cents per gallon since Sept. 1.
Boyd, Ky., saw an increase of 34.3 cents per gallon in the same time, and Hillsdale, Mich. saw prices jump 32.4 cents per gallon.
Enbridge, based in Houston, wouldn't say when the pipeline would be operating again. An estimated 6,100 barrels of crude oil were spilled last week after the pipeline broke.
The futures contract for benchmark crude also increased Monday, rising above $77 a barrel. Prices followed the stock market higher as investors cheered reports that Chinese industrial production was accelerating. China said over the weekend that manufacturing rose 13.9 percent in August from a year ago, faster than the 13.4 percent growth pace in July.
A weaker dollar also contributed to rising oil prices by making crude cheaper for investors holding other currencies.
Benchmark crude for October delivery added 74 cents to settle at $77.19 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude rose 87 cents to settle at $79.03 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
In other Nymex trading in October contracts, heating oil rose 1.83 cents to settle at $2.1227 a gallon and gasoline added less than a penny to settle at $1.9806 a gallon. Natural gas gained 5.5 cents to settle at $3.938 per 1,000 cubic feet.
