Yesterday, $3.459.
Today, $3.759.

Diesel didn't budge - it's been $3.79 for at least the last 3 weeks.

Filled up yesterday afternoon for $3.399, got 10c off with the Kroger card, so it was actually $3.299.
I always enjoy filling up in Iowa; even though I'm not too keen on ehtanol in the fuel, I'll do it to save 10c off the Regular price!

$3.69/gal for RUNL in Kenosha near the I-94/WI 50 interchange; $3.55/gal for RUNL farther in town along WI 50.

Meanwhile near the Edens/Kennedy merge in Chicago, RUNL appeared to be at $4.09/gal.

Was it a Love's? I've noticed some locations "subsidize" their Diesel prices with higher gas prices.

I've noticed the opposite effect today...diesel has gone up but regular has gone down.

Long Island has the highest gas prices in the nation...I saw a Gulf in Medford was up to 4 fricken 59. If the damn prices are this high...we will be paying 5$ a gallon by the summer. And my family can't afford that!

I picked up my wife at her office near the Kennedy Center in DC last night en route to the Caps game.

The Exxon at the corner of Virginia Avenue and Rock Creek Parkway is consistently by far the most expensive gas in the DC area. Last night it was at $4.999/$5.099/$5.199 (87/89/93). What makes it really bizarre that they charge that much is that there's a Sunoco directly across Virginia Avenue that was charging $3.879/$4.179/$4.279 last night. Why would anybody be stupid enough to go to that Exxon?

My wife paid $3.939 this past Sunday for 93 octane at a Shell near our house, including a 10˘-a-gallon discount with grocery store points. So the standard price was $4.039. I haven't paid much attention to the price otherwise over the past two days because I have half a tank.

That Exxon continues to be the highest around. Seen yesterday afternoon:

that's a crazy price.  I saw 5.18 in Shoshone and 5.89 at Furnace Creek (Death Valley) two weekends ago, and it's probably over 5 in Bridgeport, Lee Vining, Cambria, and a few other remote locations... but otherwise everything is under 5 here.

$3.759 is the low end around here. Oil prices have held pretty steady the last two weeks around $104-107/bbl NYMEX and $122-126/bbl Brent.

Saw $3.739 for regular in Sunbury (Del. Co) Ohio earlier today.

Mid to high 3.60s is the average price around here, except for Petersburg, which is up to 10 cents cheaper at certain places.

I saw, it's nuts.  Even here in Joliet, it's $4.39/gal or so.  I've been going out to Ottawa (Exit 93) and bringing back an extra 10 gallons.  Today it was $3.90/gal out there.  Made the trip well worth it to give the local stations the finger (for 19.1 gallons worth).

It's been 3.999 everywhere around Massillon OH for a few days now.  Was still that thismorning when I picked up my speedy pop on the way to work.

Well, in Orlando, Florida it reached its all time high as I seen premium at $4.17.  Back in 08 it only got as high as $4.08 before it went down below $3 a gallon for that short period that we had for a little while.

This is at the 7 eleven gas stations, but Sams and Costco Members Only pricing still has all grades below the 4 mark.

Premium ranges from $3.93 in Petersburg (at the Shell where I normally go) to $4.08 in Colonial Heights. Regular is generally 25 cents cheaper. I'm planning to head to Roanoke Rapids tomorrow, so I'll see how prices are down there.

Back from NC, where the only gas station I saw, on NC 48, had high 3.70s for regular and mid 4.00s for premium. Emporia ranged from 3.77 to 3.79 for regular and premium was mostly 4.07. I didn't see prices in Jarratt, but the highest were in Carson and particularly Stony Creek, which had the highest at 4.22 for premium. Petersburg is still the cheapest, the lowest for premium there being 3.89.

West Memphis was averaging $3.59 last Wednesday with Exxon at $3.69. Gas Buddy found me a 66 station at $3.41.

The local "Wal-Murphy" here went from $3.65 Friday, to $3.63 yesterday and $3.66 today.

Right now (as always) Gas Buddy is my friend.  I've found lower prices just by using it, at stations I might not otherwise know were even there.
