Here in upstate SC, regular unleaded is down to $1.61. I have a feeling that’s cheaper than most places.
So where are you and how much is your gas?

Honolulu - $2.27 at the station I see most of. Our prices haven’t dropped one cent. In fact that station has been at $2.27, $2.36, $2.45 for weeks.

In Gulfport, the cheapest I’ve seen is $1.669. There’s a strangely wide range of prices though - I saw $1.799 on the same day I saw the cheap stuff.
On a side note, $1.669 is about seventeen or so cents cheaper than the lowest price I could find less than a month ago.

$1.79 is the cheapest here, at a Sheetz. Their food is over-priced, so it’s kind of a wash.

Southern California.
In the past week, I’ve seen the cheap stuff range from 2.15-2.29. It just depends on the location, I guess. Even Thrifty was up to 2.25. I saw the expensive stuff up to $2.40 the other day, but the after seems to be closer to $2.35.
