gas price sing out

well, it seems that gas prices are dropping...so what's your gas price?

I just came back from upstate NY to NC and the price in WNY was $2.79-$2.85 and in NC it is $2.37...big difference

Columbus, Ind $2.34 been gradually falling for last week or so. Hope to see it under $2.00

Someone said at the pump today that prices will be around $2.00 by Thanksgiving. Will wait and see.

That is severly not fair, and extremely un-cool. I live in Maui, Hawaii and gas right now is $3.70/gal for regular, and $3.90/gal for premium. You all are lucky in the sense of gas prices.

.:EDIT:.

I guess I can't complain. I live in Hawaii and hitch-hike most of the time. Still though. Grrrr

$2.19/gal is the lowest I've seen today. Lots of stations have $2.25/gal, though. It's been steadily dropping the past few weeks, so it might hit $2.00 soon.

I guess it figures that by the time gas is at a price where I can actually afford it I'm at school and not buying it anyway.

Lowest price in Toronto today is 73.9 cents per liter, which is $2.80 per gallon.

Interestingly, the highest gas prices all come from independant gas companies: Horizon, Speedy Gas, Olco, Ultramar, etc... Lowest prices are from chains, Shells, Esso, etc.

Highest gas price in Toronto is 103.9 cents per litre, which is $3.93 per gallon

Ours around here is in the $2.15 to $2.25 range. I saw on the news tonight though that one place in OKC is selling it for $1.99. Doubt that will last long.

Usually hangs around $2.50 at the marathon and shell in Burnips (A one horse town with two gas-stations, go figure) it's almost always higher than GR.

Prices have dropped here in the UK, too, though with our heavy taxes, it's still pretty shocking.

I paid 89.9 pence a litre yesterday, £3.40 a US Gallon, $6.36!

Do it like how we did in Canada - one night the switch happened; it wasn't some slow drawn out process, everything changed almost immediately.

Paid $2.21 at Costco here in Grand Rapids, MI. Price across the street was $2.30 - but they can never compete with Costco.

it's funny, we have a Walmart gas station right across from a couple of "regular" gas stations and WalMart doesn't really kick anyone's butt, unless you use a Wally world "cash card" (no clue) or Wally world credit card and then it is a 3 cent difference.

One other thing: When are the gas stations going to STOP doing the $2.299 thing? just make it $2.30...
