Gasoline around me has dropped pretty significantly recently. All this year I’ve rarely seen it under $3.40, sometimes as high as the low $3.60s, but recently they’ve suddenly dropped under $3.00. Last week I paid $2.97/gallon, and yesterday I paid $2.84. Not that I’m complaining.
North Carolina, Raleigh area, around $2.90. Virginia is generally cheaper. Right now you can buy gas for less than 2.50 all over Virginia. Try ‘Gasbuddy’ as a resource to see prices all over the country.
Were down to $2.99 about ten days ago, jumped up briefly to $3.25 and have since settled back to $2.99, give or take a few pennies depending n the station.
Down, but there’s a huge range of variation in the stations in my area - I’ve seen $2.85 and $3.55 at stations within a few blocks of each other, on the same drive.
Seems like right now, the stations attached to grocery stores, AM/PM, and the unmanned stations that truckers and fleet drivers fuel up at have lower prices by an order of magnitude than most of the big chains do.
Not sure what you’re dubious about. Here’s the Gasbuddy figures for my zip code - the second-cheapest station in the immediate vicinity is an unmanned station primarily used by the state motor pool but open to the public, and the truck stop outside town is also below $3.
