I thought it would be interesting to track and see what people are paying for a gallon of gas in other parts of the country. Gas prices have been falling like a rock the last couple of weeks especially. We went to Albuquerque today to make a Costco run.

We filled up for $2.76 a gallon for regular unleaded! :r
 
Buffalo NY... I think it's around $3.60 but I don't pay attention as I drive a plug in hybrid and re-fill every 1000 miles during the winter (due to heating the car) and 2700 miles this past summer but I fully charge the car every day.
 
There's an election coming soon. :)

We dropped below $3.00 ($2.92 for cash/debit) at my local the other day, though my 'neighborhood gas station' is typically well below average for most of the DC area.

I don't think I've seen sub-$3.00 gas since Katrina. But man, it wasn't long before that when gas was below $1.
 
Mike, here in central Ohio we are paying about $3.00 for regular unleaded. We dipped down to $2.90 last week. The prices bounce up and down weekly. I try to buy on Monday thru Wednesday. The prices frequently seem to jump toward the weekend.
 
Still $3.49 per gallon here, I typically have to buy around 2,000 gallons per month. I sure miss the $1.85 days!
 
Not sure about the local gas prices, but I know oil just hit something like a 3-year low... Oil prices are usually two - three weeks behind the prices at the pump, so get ready for them to keep dropping a bit more yet.

Not that its going to stay there, but...
 
It's $3.60 a gallon in NYC alright. It gets to over $4.00 per gallon in the downtown. Still, it's the cheapest it has for the past couple of years at this time of year.

Edit: also, if you wish to track the gas prices, stats and gasoline trivia, check out GasBuddy website. Through them I've been able to find a local gas station with consistently lower prices.

Phil, I don't miss them near as much as I miss the $.26 per gallon for regular, $.32 per gallon for premium and $.38 per gallon for super premium (like Golden Esso Extra, which I used to use in my '58 Impala. It had 3 2-barrels on a 348 block, and went like poop shot from a cannon!) I really don't think we will ever see those days again.
 
1.31/litre or 5.24/gallon in Nova Scotia....it could always be worse :)


Primary: Concord grape
Secondary: Apple Berry wine
Bottled: Pinot Noir, Dandelion
 
I bought a brand spanking new Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer edition back in 1998. Gas was $1.25 a gallon back then and I drove that vehicle back and forth to work (20 miles daily commute) for almost 10 years until the gas prices got sky high even out here in the Southwest. I still have that old truck and it only just recently turned 100K miles but I only use it as a work vehicle. If it ain't working it is sitting. I refuse to pay $80 to fill it up and only get at best 15 MPG. It is a great vehicle for hauling though. Sits high and ways a couple of TONS. With the seats folded flat you can fit a full sheet of plywood or wallboard flat and still close the tailgate. I just used it to go pick up my fresh grapes from CA via CO and easily fit 8 20G Brutes inside the vehicle. Could fit 9-10 if I wanted to in the back. We switched over to high MPG milage cars little by little over the last 5 years or so.
 
2.98 for me yesterday. No discount for living a couple miles from the countries largest refineries.

Well, actually, prices today are not so different from those prices.

Considering that oil is a finite resource that we have used a great proportion of since 1958, and that there are now 7 billion people competing for this resource rather than 3 billion (and 310 million in the US rather than 174 million), I'd say that is pretty remarkable.

That pretty much says it all. Gas prices always drop before an election to give us all a false sense of security.

Regular is $3.38 in the Denver area and diesel ranges from $3.58 to $3.93. Still rather obscene.
