I filled up last Friday at a Shell station here in Sacramento and paid $3.20. I haven’t noticed if the price has dropped since then. ---

It’s been around $2 in central OH for as long as I can remember. I almost always use some form of “fuel perks” and can’t remember the last time I didn’t have either “free” or at least 50-60 cents off or a credit card discount. So sometimes I don’t notice the exact pre-discount price. ---

About two hours after I posted the price was $2.11, it dropped to $1.99. ---

$2.95 according to Gas Buddy here in SoCal (the redneck part). Big fat lot of good it will do me, since I don’t go back to work until May 1st, if then. The car is mostly going to sit for the next 5 weeks or so. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Yesterday evening, I saw prices ranging from $1.55 to $1.85. The pattern of which stations were cheaper than others was pretty consistent with what it usually is. That’s roughly the same pricing range and usual suspects of distribution in the Cincinnati area too. ---

$1.99 in Warren County. That’s 50 miles west of St. Louis on the I-70 corridor. ---

Around $3.80 in Aus, more or less. Which is the lowest it’s been in years. Personal note: it was USD 0.32 per gallon when I left the USA, and I can remember 32c per litre in Aus (its now down to 1.00 at some pumps) ---

I saw $2.19 yesterday in our Boston suburb. But there’s a gas station which is $2.99 and has been $2.99 for a long time. I guess they figured out that some people don’t look at the price and they’re taking advantage of it. I still see lots of people filling up there. ---

On my 4-mile commute in the burbs W of Chicago, I pass 2 Shell stations. The 1st listed $2.89. The 2d - less than 3 miles away - $2.04! The 1st one is generally pricier, but this might be a record.
