I pic $3.79 yesterday the best price I’ve seen in ages. The Wawa across the street was $3.99. My daughter was going to go to Costco, I’m not sure what their price was, but she decided $3.79 was the best deal. ---

The place down the street from my house just went up to $4.09/gal. Upstate NY. ---

Where I filled up today it was $3.88. I don’t know why but it’s always a little cheaper towards the middle of the state than near the shore where I live. Here Costco is $3.87 and most stations are at about $4.10. ---

I drove from suburban Chicago to Cleveland, and back, over the past few days. At the service plazas along the Indiana Toll Road, regular was at around $4.09. At the plazas along the Ohio Turnpike, and at the gas stations near where I was staying in Cleveland’s eastern suburbs, it was around $3.96. Back in suburban Chicago, it’s still around $4.49. ---

Somehow wholesale gas has become decoupled from the US crude index (WTI), as while the latter is only up about 8% over the last week, the former is up a whopping 18%, so TOP OFF ASAP today. In Ohio it looks to go up another 30 cents to $4.19, but I have a cheap place 3 miles from my apt. which was $3.82 (+ 1.00 for my premium; it now looks like pretty much all stations in the entire state are now marking up premium at least a buck more than regular). I can’t use my discount points because by the time I am empty again it may be 50+ cents more and I thus lose on the deal tl;dr. ---

Oahu, Hawaii. $4.69.9 a few days ago at Costco. Regular stations are in the middle $5.50 range. Many are tied to grocery promotions for X cents off per gallon. We’re using the electric car as much as possible. ---

Dunno if this is normal or not, but gas prices in California, a state that has refineries, are higher than Hawaii, an island state where most things are normally higher in price due to shipping costs. ---

Yowza! In western PA gas went from $4.19 to $4.35 per gallon today! There might be a place down the road that has it for a bit cheaper but I only head that way if I am going to medical appointments or to buy furniture. I do need a bed … ---

> [@Seanette](#): > > Hawaii, an island state where most things are normally higher in price due to shipping costs Actually we have a refinery. Used to have two but there was a sale. Until Ukraine kicked off, the crude would come from Russia. Not sure where now. They could have closed both down and just imported refined products; changed their mind because of needed asphalt for paving. ---

Didn’t know there was one in your state. Thanks for the info, but since I live in California, I’m still quite annoyed by how high gas prices are here. ---

Things seem to be pretty stable right now around here. It ranges from Costco at the low end $3.89 to around $4.15 at some of the more expensive stations. Most seem to be around $4.05. It’s been that way for a little while. ---

I was up in Green Bay the past few days. Gas was almost universally at $3.99 for regular, which is about 30c - 35c higher than a month ago. ---

Major surge here in Colorado springs, roughly $0.40 increase per gallon in a week, so say $4.19-4.29 per gallon right now for our “regular” 85 Octane (rant omitted). Technically, the value of my current tank of gas has increased by over 30%! I topped off at the beginning of the attacks on Iran ($2.89/g) and have been in all-EV mode for the PHEV since, minus a few trips on ICE just to keep everything lubed. But in three weeks, have a 200ish mile round trip which will put a dent in my remaining cheap gas. ---

£1.919 per litre here in UK, equivalent to $10.27 per gallon in the US, Google tells me. ETA, that’s for diesel. ---

Major surge here in central Michigan today. Gas has hit $4.99 at several stations close by. Lowest I saw today was $4.19. Regular unleaded.
