$2.97 at the RaceTrac station a few days ago. Most stations around here (DFW) are under $3.00 now. Since I haven’t taken any long trips recently, the gas in my truck’s aux tank aged\* out and I transferred it to the main tank. I told my wife I feel rich, cause I’m driving around on 4 dollar gas again! Hah! \*I limit it to the 4 month mark. I’m not sure how long unleaded corn-gas lasts, so I make sure it gets used somehow before my arbitrary “use-by” date passes. ---

$3.06 at some beaver oriented station. ---

It was doen to $4.099 a couple of days ago. But due to ineptitude, it’s up to $4.299 today. ---

My cheap station in New Hampshire went up 11 cents to $3.79 today. ---

> [@pullin](#): > > $2.97 at the RaceTrac station a few days ago. Most stations around here (DFW) are under $3.00 now. Filled up at the same place Thursday. $3.58/gallon now. Getting ready for a long trip pulling the camper, so I’m paying more attention. My spreadsheet for the trip says it’ll cost me about $100 more than last year. Not a deal-breaker, but annoying nonetheless. ---

Reviving the thread, as my travels this past week have shown me how much things have gone up in a month. Near my house (west suburban Cook County, IL, outside of Chicago), regular is between $4.45 and $4.65, up about 30-50c from a month or so ago. In Green Bay, it’s around $3.70 - $3.80. ---

Update from west suburban Chicago: after hovering around $4.50 a gallon for some weeks, it’s now between $4.69 and $4.79. The two gas stations which are a couple of blocks from my house both raised their prices by 10c earlier today. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > In my section of NJ gas at Costco was 2.85. A half mile up the road at Wawa it was 3.15. That was from the start of this thread. Today I paid $4.51 on the New Jersey Parkway. Slightly less at a gas station closer to home. Costco is less but I wasn’t near a Costco. ---

I was driving across New York today and I was dreading having to fill up my tank at some point. But I was astonished when I drove through Fulton, NY and all the stations were selling regular at $4.09. With my Kwik Fill loyalty card, I paid $4.06. ---

$3.59 to $3.75 around here (W edge of DFW). Diesel is another matter though. I’ve seen it as high as $5.89 in places. When I was replacing our truck, I calculated it would take roughly 400,000 miles to break even on the diesel version (including maintenance and the price of the diesel option). I can’t find that old spreadsheet, but I wonder if a break-even point even exists anymore? ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > Northeast Ohio. 4.24 Not anymore, the most recent price jerk yesterday went up FORTY more cents, to $4.59. I managed to top off right before it did, from a station 5 miles from my place. In these circumstances I have to pretty much top off every chance I get, as the post-jerk price sag is minimal now. ---

Just checked. As of today, 9/16, the average price for regular gas in Chicagoland is $4.75 per gallon. ---

$3.89 in NW Dallas, but I saw a $3.75 in Plano earlier today. They’re both up about 30 cents from where they were a week and a half ago.
