[QUOTE=ralph124c] Concord, MA (independent station): regular was $3.549/gallon. Attendent expected price to rise another 4-5 cents this week! Cheap vodka is now about $8.00/gallon-so can ethanaol be far behind/ [/QUOTE] Where in the hell do you get cheap vodka for $8.00 per gallon? The cheapest I’ve ever seen, and that was years ago, was maybe $8.99 for 1.75 liters… Joe ---

Those prices posted in the first day or so of this thread look like heaven, now that it’s all of three weeks later. I skipped a lot - did anyone mention [GasBuddy](http://www.gasbuddy.com)? I especially like the [temperature map](http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx). ---

I am in the east San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles County, CA. Alliance had the 87 gas at $3.81 today. The mid-range (89) runs about $3.95 at many stations but some are above that. I don’t keep an eye on premium or diesel. And just how did Valero get to be so high? They used to be lower than the bigger companies. ---

[QUOTE=Winston Smith on April 15th, 2008] $3.18/gal. this morning in the northern suburbs of Boston. This was a full service station that is ironically the least expensive place around. I’ve probably got it good compared to many of you. What are y’all paying for gas, and where are you? [/QUOTE] Ah, the good old days. ---
