$1.99 today. People are excited to see it under $2 again, even if it's only for a day or two.

Can't wait to drive through Ohio again. Cheapest in Pennsylvania ia $1.87, and it was much higher in Maryland and DC.

Best placed for gas in Ohio on I-71 are at the Pilot gas stations at the Delaware exit north of Columbus and the exit north of that one. They even beat Youngstown, which used to be me favorite place to tank up.

Marm - that price is only in New Philadelphia. Sheetz put in a new store a month or two ago and they are keeping the price down. It's $1.82 the next city over.

<marm gets out the map to find New Philadelphia> Ohio gas is ALWAYS cheaper that PA.

LOVE it when Sheetz puts in a new store. When they went in by the Grove City outlet mall, gas was 20 cents lower than where I live.

Gas is 2.11/gallon here....25 cents cheaper than last week. YEEHAW

Did you ever notice that when it is stormy and icky out, gas drops a few cents a gallon, and when it's nice, or a holiday weekend, it shoots up higher than ever. It always sky-rockets in the springtime, and holds steady through summer, then once it starts to get ugly out, it drops. I have been noticing that over the last couple years. Gas shortage my foot.

We're down to $1.67 here today and I paid $1.92 on Sunday. It's getting better! We had been well over $2.00 for awhile.

I'm moving darnit! I put gas in my car Monday, it was still $2.31! I was so mad watching the price climb that I finally just stopped it without filling up, lol. Was over 18 bucks at that point. I started with 1/4 of a tank, when I stopped I had 3/4's.

It's not so bad right now (the price is outrageous, but I'm really not using a lot of gas and only having to fill up every few weeks.) But, come August I'm going to be driving out to the college four times a week and that's going to suck some serious gas. That's one thing I haven't missed about not taking classes, lol.

Still $2.15 at our very cheapest place, unless you count Costco, which had it for $1.99 yesterday! Usually the cheap places are within a penny or so of Costco. Don't know how they are offering it cheaper this week. Most places around town are still in the $2.25 range.

UGH! Last week we went from $1.99 down to $1.89, then Monday we went down to $1.87. Thinking it was gonna keep heading down I didn't fill up. Last night on my way home from a friend's house I realized I needed gas badly...$1.89!!!! What the heck! I'm thinking of letting my fiance' take my car to work one day next week and fill it up on his way home. Where he works, about an hour away, gas is 7-9 cents cheaper. Go figure! Gosh I miss the days when we had gas for 97 cents...but then again I was a teenager then. Wouldn't want to go back to them days!

Does costco offer gas below cost?? In MN we have a law that a gas station cant offer gas below cost, which has its good and bad points.

Tiernet, I'm in MN also. I remember th big brouhaha not too long ago about gas stations here selling below cost and then our prices went back up. blech. I was very surprised to know that SuperAmerica is the leading gasoline supplier in MN and sets the price. At least that's what they said on the news. I always go to BP unless I have an emergency. Priced have fluctuated so wildly that it's hard to keep up.

Tess, lately I have tried to keep faithful to a local cenex station but they changed to Marathon who I guess is another controlling refinery like the refinery for SA

Our prices have been dropping.. I was delighted to fill up at $2.25 just half a tank ago and yesterday I saw a couple of stations down to $2.17 for regular unleaded (that is 87 octane here, not 86), dash or debit card price.. and it may be lower tomorrow..

I imagine that gas will jump up tomorrow for the Holiday weekend. I need to go get gas today, and I will see what the prices are. California Gas Prices suck.

I'd like to see gas prices stay at about 1.25-1.50,per gallon, and no higher. When I got my CDL (1997) gas was 98 cents per gallon, those were the days. My mom says gas was 30 cents a gallon when she got her CDL (1976).

Gas has been steady here at $1.79 for the past week. I never thought about it going up for the holiday weekend. Good point, Escapee! Maybe I should go fill up tonight so I don't run out over the weekend. I think I have a bit less than a quarter tank left!
