Aberdeen, Md, regular unleded is now $1.06/gallon. I’m hoping I’ll see the long thought extinct “two figure gas price”. ---

Anywhere from $1.06 - $1.09 in the St Louis area. We hit $1.04 a while back, but then they jumped up to $1.15 in a matter of days and prices are currently sliding downwards again. Filling up my car is getting more and more like playing the stock market every day. ---

Orange Park, FL The cheapest I’ve seen is $1.07 for regular. I can get diesel for $1.29 and up… Across the river in Mandarin, it’s usually 10-15 cents higher, but the yuppies who live there can afford it!! 😃 ---

In my part of St Louis, that is, near Lambert Field around 6pm CST on 11/06/2001: 99.9 cents. And I am guessing if on 9/11/2001 one had predicted that, one would have been considered madder than Osama bin Laden. BTW 9/11/2001 gas was $1.46/gal ---

It’s weird. The city next to where I live has it at $1.11. The town I live in it’s $1.21. The town I work in is $1.27-29. I can’t figure out why it’s such a range of prices, especially since the towns are about the same size. \ Along the same vien, how high did it go? It was up to $1.79 regular, here (southern lakes region, NH) during the winter and spring. \ ---

Memphis, TN here: I’ve been seeing K-Mart offer the cheap stuff (89 octane) for… 98 CENTS a gallon! Woo! And Costco and Sam’s Club offer it cheaper. _insert cackling noise here_ Quick Martha, let’s fill up the bathtub! Let the kids drink it, it’s cheaper than milk! 😛 And what’s nice… I’ve been seeing these kinds of prices for a good week or so now, and they’ve edged downwards at some places that were higher. * * * \<\< Moof. \>\> ---

Washington, PA. The average around here is about 1.099 to 1.109 per gallon, although there’s a Sheetz on Rt. 19 that sells it at 1.059. I imagine that before the end of November, it will be tipping below one dollar. ---

Atlanta, GA…$0.93 per gallon right up the street. If I want to drive a bit, I know a place for $0.91 per gallon, but I don’t think I’ll quibble… ---

$1.28 in Syracuse, NY. Our Sheetz in Wilkes-Barre had it for $1.12 a couple weeks ago, it might be lower now. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-much-is-gas-where-you-live/91911.md?page=2)
