Damn. I thought I was lucky paying $1.15/gal in California, MD. The thing that gets me about the gas price situation is that in DC, it goes for about $0.30/gal more. Time was when I would pay the 5-7 cents per gallon extra to fill up in DC instead of my hometown. Not anymore - that 30 cents adds up to about 3 dollars on a 10 gallon fill up. I can’t justify that to my wallet no matter how tired I might be when I get home. ---

Dallas, TX - Just filled up at $0.97 a gallon. Seems like it had to have been when I was in high school the last time I remember prices this low. ---

Canmore, Alberta, Canada: 61.9 cents per litre. Calgary is 55.9 - 56.9. Edmonton is always less expensive; when I was there at the beginning of October it was at 54.9. ---

Northern Alberta. The price advertised is .639 per liter, but EVERY station has another 3.5-5c off per/l. So, in reality is 60.9 or 58.9 cents/l. The further south you go, the cheaper. I think Edmonton is something like 55-56 cents. ---

55.9 cents somewhere between Guelph and Hamilton, Ontario. In Guelph, I saw it at 62.9. In Aberfoyle, 58.9. In Morriston, 57.8. Then the place I gased up at, 55.9. At Clappison (just outside Hamilton) it was 61.9, and down the street it’s 62.3. DAMN am I ever glad I commute! ---

Central Illinois: Today it was .98[sup]9[/sup] at the Starvin’ Marvin when I drove past on the way to drop La Principessa off at a 6th graders get-together. I marveled aloud, “Look at that, gas is down to 98 cents a gallon…” and from the back seat she inquired curiously, “What’s normal?” “Normal”? Who knows? LOL, kid. 😃 ---

Southern Oregon – prices are lowering, now. I now pay $1.60 + for Plus. Ouch! I can’t believe that anyone’s paying less than 1.25!
