It looks like we’re getting screwed big time here in Idaho. After peaking at $1.74 at the corner station a few months ago I was pleased to see it drop to $1.49 recently, that is until I saw how much less everyone else is paying. ☹

Eastern edge of Los Angeles County: 1.19 is the lowest I’ve seen so far; I’m not counting the off brands.  
The premium I use is about $1.37 right now.

Southern England here -  
Regual unleaded is £0.69 per litre = £2.61 per US gallon = $3.78

Diesel is £0.76/litre which comes out to $4.17 per gallon

$1.60 in San Jose, CA (although I don’t pay too much attention to prices… it might be closer to $1.50). I must say I am shocked to see almost everyone reporting these low prices! I know things are more expensive here, but really!
