Right now (March 18) in San Antonio, Texas, the lowest I saw this morning was $1.82. Several at $1.84.

I saw one little mom & pop place at $1.79, but I’m not 100% sure those pumps contain gasoline. 😉 Probably Big Red.

My commute has prices between $1.89 and $2.39 depending on the station although most are in the $2 to $2.10 neighborhood.

Far suburbs of Chicago, on the fringes of corn (and soy) country.

According to Gas Buddy, The Safeway I usually stop at on my commute, usually one of the cheaper if not cheapest stations along that route, is $2.85 cash/debit, $2.95 credit.

A station closer to me has it for $2.69 cash/debit, $2.79 credit. That’s unusual to find it cheaper in my town. Usually it’s more expensive around here, I assume just because it’s a more affluent area. Other stations range from $2.99 to $3.59.

ETA: Forgot to mention, this is in the Sacramento, CA suburbs.

C$1.10/liter in Vancouver, BC, which I think is about US $2.87/US gallon based on C$1 at US$0.76 and about 3.785 liters in a US gallon

According to the price-tracking website I use, the cheapest within 10 miles of me is $1.89. Elsewhere in the state it’s supposed to be as low as $1.57, but that area is much too far away to drive to.

Gas in Toronto a day is CAD$0.749/litre or USD$1.97/gallon. I’ve not seen it this cheap in years, and this includes a new Carbon Tax that was added this year.

It’s about $0.75 a litre here in Ottawa, which translates to about two bucks a USG.

Unbelievable.

$1.89 is the most current price in the N. Alabama area I live in; probably some cheaper, but that’s from the major dealers/suppliers.
