Reposted on: 17.8.12 1138.16 | At my local mini-mart, where it's usually the highest in the Twin Cities, a gallon of regular is $2.699. Ugh. And Minnesota gas is supposed to be CHEAP!

Reposted on: 17.8.12 1149.23 | Right now it's in the 2.50-2.60 range, and that spans from Tallahassee to the Tampa/St Pete area, since I was just there a couple of days ago. It's also climbing, so it might be higher by next week.

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

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

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.

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

Reposted on: 17.8.12 1254.20 | $2.699 and holding steady since the weekend. Because of this, I'm actually going to skip on my weekly trip to Madison this Thursday.
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.

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.
