Both corner stations down to $3.81. Station a bit north and a few others on north, on the way to my haircut, $3.79. But then I bagged a station on the way home at $3.75 and since I was under a quarter of a tank and planning to drive to Long Beach and back, I filled up.

I was pretty excited.. Brookhurst and Ball. I had been waiting as long as possible to fill up and hopefully prices will continue to drop, but this was good for now.

I had no choice, I was sitting flat on empty (let Darren take my car to work yesterday) and had to pick the boys up from the fair.

Sis keeps telling my the station down the street from their house is the cheapest she's seen. I haven't yet needed gas while over that way, plus people get shot over there with alarming frequency. LOL, spending a few cents more might be worth the piece of mind.

3.79 in riverside. they always raise prices in summer, so I imagine this drop is just the usual end of summer drop. just pisses me off that they can just go up and down at random and nothing can be done

We are finding Wal-Mart has great gas prices. It's a bit of a drive to get to the one with the gas station, so I don't know how much we're saving.

Save money on gas
Beat the crazy prices at the pump with 11 smart strategies

1. BE LOYAL
Use your grocery store's preferred-customer card to earn extra savings at the pump.
Kroger: For every $100 worth of groceries you buy, save 10 cents per gallon of gas at a Kroger Fuel Center. Visit kroger.com.
Stop & Shop: After a $50 minimum grocery purchase, save 5 cents per gallon on regular or plus gasoline and 10 cents per gallon on premium. Visit stopandshop.com.
Safeway: Club Card members save 3 cents every day at store pumps and earn 5- or 10-cent bonuses for eligible purchases of $50 or more. Visit safeway.com.
Giant Eagle: Earn "fuelperks" and save 10 cents per gallon of gas when you spend $50 or more. Visit gianteagle.com.

2. AVOID USING DEBIT CARDS
Don't pay for gas with your debit card (at the pump or inside the store). Some banks charge fees for using the card, which increases the cost of already pricey gas. Certain gas stations also request that banks put a hold on a set amount of money in your account to make sure you can cover the purchase. So even if you spent only $20 on gas, you may not have access to as much as $100 of your money for a few days. This can lead to problems like bounced checks and result in more fees. Pay with cash or a credit card instead.

one more

3. GET FREE GAS
What could be better than a no-cost fill-up?
Meijer's Fuel Rewards Program: Look for "free gas" signs around the store. Then purchase participating products and you'll receive free gas rewards at the checkout that you can use at any Meijer Gas Station.
FuelLinks: Use your FuelLinks card and earn "cash-for-gas" on your purchases. Join online at fuellinks.com, check out the extensive list of participants and start earning rewards redeemable at certain gas stations.

I paid $3.29 today in SC and was quite thrilled since it has dropped over 25 cents in the last 2 weeks.

Pamy, I found Chevron for $3.74 on LABOR DAY even, on my way out of Riverside. The Union 76 station near the Home Depot was $3.75.

California has 5 of the top 10 (including 3 of the top 4) worst commutes (also harms the environment by pumping extra pollution into the air and wasting precious fuel) in the US:
