[QUOTE=ladybug] I paid $4.49 for a gallon of milk at Publix last week. [/QUOTE] I paid the same for milk at Publix in Kissimmee, FL today, and paid $3.79 at Target for an equivalent amount two weeks ago; at that same time, milk was $4.19 per gallon at Publix. Gas around here was $3.92/gallon today, and will most likely be rising soon. The Citgo near our house gives cash and Citgo card discounts, but doesn’t advertise the credit/debit price, which ended up being about 8 cents per gallon more than the advertised cash price. I’ll keep buying my gas from Hess, whose prices are the same for debit or credit. ---

Auckland, NZ: Store brand “lite blue” milk (equiv. of 2% I think), 3 liters = NZ$ 4.58 = (approx) US$ 4.53 / US gallon. Regular (91 Octane) is around NZ$ 2.16 / liter = (approx) US$ 6.40 / US gallon. :eek: ---

$3.89 for gas, though I could pay $4.07 if I wanted to (HA!) $2.99 for milk, though Marc’s was having a sale, 2/$5. Don’t know if it’s still going on… I could pay much, much more at the regular grocery stores. ---

[QUOTE=Mrs Johnson] Holy crap! Wow, we \*do \*have it easy in Oklahoma. The cheap gas is $3.87. The premium stuff is $4.07. I don’t drink milk so I don’t know about it. [/QUOTE] Yeah, prices are high here. However, a decent red wine is about $10/gallon, so there is an upside. ---

Am I seeing downward movement in gas prices, or is it my imagination? I passed a station this afternoon (Gas Stop) with 87 for $3.80 (!!!) Also, at a Valero station today (not the one I usually go to) I paid 3.81. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-paying-for-milk-and-gas/456465.md?page=2)
