Yesterday I saw regular going for 1.27 in Hershey PA. It's only 1.32 across the river in NJ. What the ****??? We're talking that's 30 cents less than in May!! Pretty crazy, it's like going back 2 years. In a way it's a shame how the price is so easily manipulated. We really don't need to explore in the Arctic.

In Memphis, TN we have gas for 1.25. That was what we were paying for regular not but two months ago. Go figure.

Over the past two months, gas prices have dropped here in Northern California. I filled up on Chevron super for $1.87./gallon the other day. What a bargain!

Here in NJ, regular is about $1.45, and super is like $1.70 or so. I remember two summers ago, regular was $0.89 a gallon. Man, those were the days.

Man MD sucks...

I know some of you others have it worse, but the best I found was....
$1.50 for 87; $1.62 for 88, $1.64 for 89, $1.69 for 91; I forgot the price for 93 but considering the prices in the past it was pretty reasonable!

for any of you other Marylanders if your in Silver Spring, this gas station is the Citgo/7-11 on Georgia Ave. right before you cross the DC line(a few blocks form Rayco exhaust and across the street from Discount Audio)..the prices are the best in the area I think!

1.39 for 93 super clean octane premium gas here in central florida

like 1.20 for the cheep crap. Gas prices are like stocks. They can rise and fall very quickly. I'm not getting my hopes up b/c I know it could shoot up to almost 2 bucks very quickly.

wow..

some of u guys have it easy.....
Last time I filled up here in NYC, I paid 1.79$ for 93 at Sunoco, which seems to be one of the best deals in Brooklyn from what I've seen.... Pretty damn good, considering a little over a month ago I paid around 2.05$ for 93....

I paid $1.49 for 93 octane in KY, which is quite a break from the $2.00+ it was a few months ago.

We have the most expensive gas in the country according to the Associated Press. Chevron is $1.91/gal for regular, 2.01 for Plus, and $2.11 for Premium. The cheapest is $1.85 for regular, but it's from a local-ish company. I think that they have Tesoro on the west coast too.
