| #3 Posted on 17.8.05 1159.00 Reposted on: 17.8.12 1159.01 | My station is at $2.59, or at least was this morning when I drove by. I just got back Monday from 10 days in SoCal, and was pretty shocked to see that prices rose ~ $0.40 during my time away. I'm pretty glad I filled up before I left. | cranlsn

| #4 Posted on 17.8.05 1205.07 Reposted on: 17.8.12 1205.37 | Our local stations are running at $2.79/gal. thanks to the wonderful "reformulation" foisted on us by the EPA.
If we drive 15 or so miles north, we can get "good 'ol gas" for about 10 cents less per gallon. | KJames199

| #5 Posted on 17.8.05 1216.12 Reposted on: 17.8.12 1216.38 | $1.06 per litre (CDN) at most places. If I stop for gas halfway between Regina and Saskatoon, I can get it as low as 97 cents/litre.
That translates into 87.8 cents to a low of 80.4 cents (US) per litre.
That, in turn, translates into $3.32 to a low of $3.04 (US) per gallon. | Mr Heel II

Best stay home this weekend...
If you have a Flex-Fuel vehicle and can use E85 (85 percent Ethanol), you can apparently buy gas in some places for under $2. AND have 105 octane fuel.

| #7 Posted on 17.8.05 1234.36 Reposted on: 17.8.12 1235.23 | I normally stick to Chevron, since that's where we have a credit card. (Dumb, I know, since we're paying for gas AND finance charges.) The cheapest Chevron in Glendale had regular for $2.71. The expensive one, just off the freeway, had regular priced at $2.85, with premium going for $3.05. Even the "cheap" stations, like Arco, are hovering around the $2.70 mark. That was 3 days ago, though. I should go out and check again today.
And I just bought a new car with a bigger tank, but at least it gets better mileage. | Excalibur05

Seriously, I'm thinking that my next car (in 10 years or so when I need one) will be a hybrid...or something (maybe one of those Ethanol vehicles).
Edit: Oops, it was $2.599 LAST weekend.

90.7 pence per litre (standard unleaded) round here, and my area isn't that expensive by UK standards. Which if my math is correct, works out at about $6.30 per US gallon.

| #20 Posted on 17.8.05 1544.56 Reposted on: 17.8.12 1545.04 | cranslm is right. It is $.10 lower to the north.
$2.699 at our station. According to http://www.axxispetro.com/download/wisconsin-cta.txt , the station's cost from the terminal in Green Bay is something like $2.50 right now (1.94 + approx .54 cents / gallon state and federal taxes).
And I'd doubt they're going to fall unless crude prices do. (image removed) For reference to the chart, oil prices right now just fell below $65 / barrel.
