When I left home at six my close stations were at $3.31 and $3.29. I saw several stations on my way to and from Anaheim at $3.25. When I drove by on the way home at 11 or so my stations were at $3.29 and $3.27.

I put $20 in today (was in a hurry.) I think it was $3.35 a gallon. I ended up with 1/2 a tank so it's definitely cheaper than last time I bought it.

It was 3.39 at the place around the corner last night. Costco is probably cheaper. I was just in NC for awhile. I saw 2.86 in northeastern NC once and lots of places in the 2.90s. I paid 2.99 in southeastern VA before I returned the rental car. My daughter thinks she saw it for even lower than 2.86 somewhere in the Outer Banks. The lowest I saw it there was 2.99 and most places there it was over $3 per gallon.

It's about $2.80ish here. I saw a Toyota Prius the other day with the cleverest license plate. It said, "SIP SIP."

In town prices rose from $2.539 to $2.619 and up, but I had to go to San Antonio today and halfway there fueled up at $2.459! Whoopeee!

I'm up in the Bay Area (Fremont right now) and it's around the mid $3.50's here. It's actually a bit higher than it is at home, which surprised me since they tend to run pretty parallel for the most part. $2.53? That's a whole BUCK more than here! Yikes!

We've been higher since the prices started to go down, Costa, I don't know why.

It was in the 2.60s earlier this week when we went to the doctor. My friend in Northumberland, England, is still paying the equivalent of over $7.00/gallon. Crazy!

Csnog, I was just reading back through the last 3 archives and read with interest your remarks about wind energy, solar panels and the like. I'm not quite sure how this all works but my husband signed us up with the energy company here last year to get as much of our power from wind as possible. We pay extra for the privilege but I'm still not clear how it works as we live in a metropolitan area and don't quite have a windmill in the backyard. I've seen plenty of them, but not in the cities. I'll have to ask him for more details when he gets back from camping. We're still looking to sell my car as I've quit driving altogether and he works from home. Other than vacations, the most he drives is usually taking our daughter to school and me to the doctor and running minimal errands.

had 1/2 a tank b/4 leaving Abilene today. Gas in Abilene was $2.59 - $2.69. The further I went east on I-20 the higher the gas got. Finally, my trip takes me off I-20 for 25 miles into Stephenville & I paid $2.89. I'm at DDs which is another 30 miles away & gas is $2.99. I have enough gas to get back home on Sunday & I'm waiting until I hit MY town to refuel.

Still around $3.50 something up here. EXCEPT for one gas station (on Willow Rd) that I saw last night that was $3.99!!! And a block down the road was $3.54. Dunno who'd stop for gas at 40 cents higher than one a block away!

Gas in central Florida is still from $3.49 to $3.13. I researched why the price is still high and revealed the retailers not the oil companies are trying to recoup. The stations near the port where people return rental cars have the highest price. Sticking it to unknown tourist.

If it's $2.54 by Jagger, it's probably about the same where I am. I sure wish DH would hurry up and sell my car. It hasn't been driven since the first week of March.
