So what's the price of gas where you live?
 

It's about $2.85 average in SE Wisconsin, which has been dropping in price lately (about a month ago it was $3.25, and has been dropping about 10 cents a week).

So, has the price of gas gone up where you live, or has it gone down? I wonder why they're lowering the prices now, cause the media's been trying to have us believe that the gas prices are going to skyrocket cause of some turmoil in parts of the world, yet where I live, it's going down, and hopefully it'll keep going down, cause I need to fill up my car soon :D

For the entire summer the gas prices here have been within the range of $1.05 to $1.20. However, the past few days it has been between $0.85 and $0.90. I don't think this drop will last long, but it's always nice to dream.
Also, I didn't realise gas was so expensive in the US compared to here. Now I feel as though I have no reason to complain :(.

The average around Austin is about $2.83, but my roommate managed to snag some tonight that was $2.75. However, back home in California the price was around $3.30-3.45 (correct me if I'm wrong, Californians, I'm in Texas now...).

Up in the CA mountains the price had climbed to about $3.80, probably price gouging due to the fact that they're the only gas station in the immediate area. Disgusting.

Is that per gallon?

Anyway, it's around $2.95 - $3.00 in South Fla, but only in Boca Raton. Down in Broward I see prices around the 80's.

No it's per Litre. Now after I think about it, since I was completely oblivious to the US not having the metric system, the gas prices down there aren't much different from mine. The conversion would make it about $3.40 per gallon, or somewhere near that amount.

Supposedly we have the 2nd highest gas in the country this week. $3.09 for regular and $3.29 for Premium (which is only 91 octane around here - we have shitty gas! :ninja: )

It's dropped down to $2.93 at the cheap gas stations in Southern California (near me, at least) but some areas are still around $3.15 or so. It's been slowly going down, but it can randomly go up again.

Gas prices around here (Johnson County, Iowa) seem to be lingering around $2.70, which is a bit cheaper than average, I guess...the state has a subsidy on ethanol gas, so we're probably paying any savings on gas back in taxes, though.

To be honest, I don't even have a car at college, so I haven't been paying the closest attention to gas prices over the past few weeks. Parking in Iowa City is more expensive than gas!

It was about $0.75 here yesterday because of the hurriance in Florida, but its gone back to around $0.90! Still, its been then most places.

I live right on the outskirts of Chicago (literally a few blocks away), so it is currently about $3.15 per gallon (87 oct). The closer you get to downtown Chicago, the higher it gets, maxing at about $3.85 per gallon (87 oct).

The highest I ever paid for gas was about $4.25 per gallon (87 oct) in Chicago (this excludes what I paid internationally) around 2002~03. The lowest I ever remember paying was about $ .95 a gallon (93 oct) in southern Illinois around 2000. Ouch.

EDIT: added the octane levels for a more accurate comparison

Why the hell would that raise your gas prices? Last time I checked, Florida doesn't produce much oil.

I LIVE in Florida and my gas prices aren't changing, so you might want to have them stop screwing you.

Here in Visalia (central California), the lowest I've seen it is $3.02 a gallon.

You guys don't realise how lucky you are. Here I pay £1 a litre. That works out as roughly $7 a gallon. Most of the cost here is tax though.

In Newfoundland we are paying 1.08 per liter. The price here just dropped from 1.12.

:biggrin: Sorry, i'm relieved that price is lower here (quebec city): 102 cents. However, for some odd reason, for such a relatively big area here (about 600-650k), prices are higher (montreal, it's 93c)

Went down to 87c/L yesterday. Or at least I think it's per litre, whatever it is. It's quite low, supposidly it went down to 73c/L in Toronto.

I live near Houston and the average price seems to be about $2.69 for regular unleaded, though I have seen it as low as $2.55 and as high as $2.79 in two nearby towns. It's not all that high when compared to what some of y'all are paying, but people complain about it nonetheless. In fact, Jesse Jackson himself decided to come to the area and protest gas prices at some refineries run by BP. It was kind of funny considering that he and a bunch of people marched around the parking lot with their signs in the super hot weather thinking that they were making a difference or something.

I live up in Western Massachusetts and we've had a price drop recently. We're down to the $2.79 ± $0.10.

We were paying over $3.00/gallon back in July or so and I THINK we saw a hike with the Alaskan oil pipeline problem or whatever. It's getting intolerable.

Not to mention that it's hilarious to drive by stations that have gas for sale at $3.00/gallon still when the prices have dropped substantially. You can kind of guess where NOT to get your gas in the future based on their gauging.

Down to $2.55 at the cheapest gas station in town! (Bryan/College Station, TX)

They said it'd cap $3.00 easily over here. Feh. Was 15 cents off from beating that =p And now it's tapering off fast.

If anywhere, I think we'll hit a bottom rung of the lower $2 end. The days of $1/gal are gone I do believe.

That wasn't that long ago, either. I remember being really anal about getting gas for $0.98/gallon.

CAN YOU IMAGINE? NINETY-EIGHT CENTS A GALLON? And this was only, what, 5? 6 years ago?

Last I checked I think it was about 2.69 a gallon in my part of South Carolina.

Another one of these threads eh?

Anyway just today I passed by a Sheetz and it was $2.75 a gallon which is much better than last week where it was something around $2.89.

When I filled up a few nights ago I paid $2.59 at a Sheetz here in Raleigh, NC.

It's different all across the city though. It was $2.60ish near my house, $2.80 near my uni campus, etc. etc.

Just glad to know that it's certainly cheaper here than most other places of the country.

On the way to work this morning, the BP and the no-brand across the street were both reading $2.34 for regular unleaded. Strangly enough, the midwest has some of the cheapest gasoline around.

For quite a while, the prices have been fluctuating around $1-$1.20, but we were thoroughly surprised about a week ago when we saw gas for $0.80-$0.88. Hopefully the large cut will last, since we've been conditioned to paying $1+ for gas for a while now.

Prices where I live have pretty much stayed at the $3.09/gallon ($.81/liter) mark for octane 86 at the local Fina and Mustang. There are some stations that have octane 86 for about ten cents cheaper, but they are few and far between and not worth the trip. The prices have been steady for the most part. There might be a week where gas goes up twenty cents per gallon, but the price usually goes back to its original amount after a random interval of time.

2.59 per gallon of gas over here in Humble, Tx.
Has slowly been declining since the summer wehre it met 2.98+ at some points.

I don't think so. We were over $3.00 a month ago. My guess would be an over-supply of the specific formulation of gasoline that's used around here.

Here in western BC it's 109.9 for a litre. Not too bad, and word has it that it's on it's way down :)

You know you can just go to a website to see gas prices in your area, right? It's called www.gaspricewatch.com - Gas Price Watch.

This is the ultimate gas price guide:

One liter of gas is 1.39€ here. Now I gonna double-convert this for you guys:

One gallon would be 6.6025 US$. Which is quite a lot I guess O_o

Gas in Germany really hasn't changed much in the past year, then. When I was there last summer, it was something like 1.35€. It's only around $2.79 now, which isn't too bad considering it was around $2.99 for months. It's pretty damn amazing, though, that I can remember seeing $1.20 down in Florida a few years ago.

Yeah, it hasn't changed much for quite a few months, but it's still freaking expensive. Good thing the greens are not part of the government anymore, with them the gas price would have risen to 2€ or some shit like that. The problem is that 80-85% of the German gas price are taxes, so the guys from the gas stations can't do much.

EDIT - Ugh, not sure how this double posting happened.

Anyway, for some new content, regular unleaded dropped a couple more cents to hit $2.31 on my way home from work. There might be some kind of mini-price war going on at that exit.

Hmm, about 22.50Q a gallon where I´m at. Which is almost exactly three dollars.

I think it was two years ago :O I'm pretty sure I was in college while it was still cheap, and I wasn't just starting when it started to spike. I distinctively remember reading a school newspaper when they were panicking abour $50/barrel during the hike in prices.

Also I remember an uber-huge gas thread (like this) around the initial peak.

Gas has dropped for Labor Day Weekend here. WTF are pigs flying now?

$2.699 here, compared to nearly $3 a couple weeks ago.

At the moment I pay 89.9p for a litre so thats ok for me

It's around $0.30 per liter where I am right now. Yep, Saudi Arabia, cheap oil is excellent.

The price of gas is $2.68. But it's about $7 in Korea.

$3.41 for a gallon of unleaded regular here in Hilo, Hawaii

They just said today there are two states, Hawaii and California that are higher than us. Which is ironic because we have a large amount of oil on the eastern plains. :rolleyes:

Nation-wide, gas dropped $.31 per gallon in the last 2 weeks, but here it only dropped $.10. They say it will go down more after Labor Day weekend has been put behind us, but uh... wasn't that last weekend? :doh:

It really felt good to be able to fill up my tank for roughly twenty dollars (at 2.46 per gallon.) After prices being so high, the lighter load on the wallet is certainly welcome (even if it may not last.)

At least we aren't headed toward oil at $100 per barrel by Thanksgiving like I was hearing just over a month ago.

The lowest I've seen around here lately is $2.51, which is pretty good conisidering where it was just a few weeks back.

Gas prices just dropped a bit where I live. They've gone from about 2.96 down to 2.70-75. Any little bit helps I guess.

get ready to be amazed
In my country, ecuador
we have regular 1.10 cts (which sux, i think that water works better in a car)
and Premiun for 1.60 cts(which still sux, but not like regular)
the thing is that my country produces petroil, and we have the most expensive(and by far) worse gas in south america.
When i travel to venezuela their gas cost like 10 cts premiun!!!!!
there are some issues with the production with the country, and the prices are paid in part by the country itself, but the gas its excellent!
