I saw $3.09 this morning at a BP in Chicago. I passed it on my way to $2.89 at a Thornton’s in the Suburbs. This is the cheapest I’ve seen in quite a while.

Idaho is currently ranked as the highest in gas prices in the continental U.S. :mad: (Alaska and Hawaii are the only two that outrank us at the upper end). The prices here are finally beginning to abate somewhat. After holding at a steady $2.99[sup]9[/sup] a gallon at the corner station for at least two months, I was pleased to see today that the price there has fallen to $2.92[sup]9[/sup]. The lowest I have seen since the recent drop is $2.85[sup]9[/sup].

$2.59 for premium today in Dallas. Finally, a fill up under $40.00.
Yes, my car really needs the premium.

I filled up for $2.39/gallon last weekend. Apparently [some place here in Houston is charging $1.99/gallon](http://www.houstongasprices.com/).
I’m still extremely glad I drive so little. That was the first time in over two months that I had to get gas.

It’s $2.36 now at two stations near me in Bordentown, NJ. They were both $3.09 only about two weeks ago. :eek:

€1.19/litre [80p] here (west Cork) the other day…

Northern Spain.
At the cheapest place, 1.0128€/liter
At the most expensive, 1.0339€/liter
That’s leadfree, 95 octanes and I’m feeling too lazy to look up the current conversion for the dollar.

It’s been $2.19 lately here in NW Ohio. It does seem that us Ohioans have about the best gas prices around right now…well, excluding **Paul in Saudi**.

It’s around $2.18 in the Cleveland area, but according to the Drudge Report there are some sightings of sub-$2 gas in Iowa ($1.96 is the lowest so far I believe)…
Got gas for about $0.37/gal a few weeks back thanks to my Giant Eagle discount bonuses… but that was just one fillup.
