$1.96 in Toledo Saturday morning before I headed out to NJ. Then sticker shock when in Pennsylvania on the I76 turnpike

Anywhere from $2.58 to $2.69. Good thing I did not fill up in NJ as I was told that it is one of TWO states in the country that mandate FULL service and they must fill your car, not you!

Wow! Prices rose here for the past couple months but are now dropping again.

I definitely would not be happy having some random gas station attendant have to fill my Vibe for me

old thread bump,

In mid Feb, about 6 weeks ago, I was thrilled to find gas in Dahlgren VA for $1.999/gal, where it was at best $2.35 on my side of the Potomac.

Today, I filled up for $1.779 I haven't seen gas that cheap here in over 11 years (I kept records, it was 29 Jan 2009)

I know a lot of you are paying less, MD has non-trivial gas taxes, so humble me and let me know how cheap gas is where you are

Caretaker · Post by **Caretaker** » Sun Mar 29, 2020 1:17 pm

$1.49 in a town north of Tampa. $1.73 at Sam's near me. What I love best is not having to deal with the vapor recovery devices on the nozzle.

tpollauf · Post by **tpollauf** » Sun Mar 29, 2020 3:17 pm

$1.24 at Costco here in Toledo

It will likely continue to drop as more people are being mandated to STAY @ HOME. Our vehicles simply will not need to be driven as much thus not needing the weekly or so refueling. Supply clearly is taking over demand right now and the price will continue to drop

jolt · Post by **jolt** » Mon Mar 30, 2020 1:19 am

Nothing that cheap around me. $1.87/gal but it is always about $0.10 higher in the town where I live. I wonder what they are doing with the expensive alcohol now that the gas is so cheap? More tax dollars at work turning food into alcohol for fuel to mix with gas but I doubt the refinery is added much alcohol to the fuel right now with cured prices so low.

zbyers · Post by **zbyers** » Mon Mar 30, 2020 4:07 am

$1.33 near Akron, OH.

I do find it amazing that the price of oil for the past year has hovered around $57 a barrel. Locally, we've been seeing gas prices about $2.60 per gallon during that time. Now oil is at $20 a barrel. Funny how we don't see a near equivalent 1/3rd cut in gas prices.

KingKrab65 · Post by **KingKrab65** » Tue Mar 31, 2020 3:45 am

$1.85 for 92 octane here in Charlotte at the Costco.

Gotta love the Saudi vs. Russian under cutting each other in the time of global low demand.

Basically the same here. We were hovering around $2.90 or so until recently. We still have only dropped to about $2.35.

Now down to $1.07 at Costco! It should make it down to $.99 by the weekend

jolt · Post by **jolt** » Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:05 pm

You can use this web site or their app to check gas prices around the US. I have used their trip planner, as it tells you where to stop for the best prices using your cars gas mileage rating and tank capacity to figure the best points to stop at for pricing and range of your vehicle.

https://www.gasbuddy.com/home

These are pricing reported by people that use the gasbuddy app so as prices change throughout the day, it can get updated.

Caretaker · Post by **Caretaker** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 7:22 am

I use gas buddy all the time but have noticed some annoying trends. First, as you pointed out, we are relying on customers to report the prices each day. There is no way to know when the last report was made. Second, there is a lot of missing data in their system. For example, I have a Mobil station near me that is just about as cheap as Sam's Club but their numbers rarely get reported on the gas buddy website. And lastly, when you do a search based on your area code, the list that somes up does NOT match the results for the same stations when using the map function on the gas buddy website. It is very annoying because I prefer the map view to quickly scan an entire metropolitan area versus guessing where a gas station is located based on some street name I may not be familiar with.

Saw $1.19 in Ohio (near Akron). Yet, good ol' Warren, PA, home of the wonderful United Refining Company, has prices around $2.25 still.

Probably the $$$ is needed to pay for the huge construction project "somewhere" up in the mountains in the outset of Pittsburg area. I was told it's a 45 to 60 minute bus ride up to this site (your time) then same ride back to the parking lot, and is a nasty work environment. Fracking, refining, not sure??? Friends of mine talked about this job and wanted me to join them there. NOPE ! Pretty sure it's a URC project.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Sat Apr 04, 2020 11:01 am

$1.679 or so for 87 here right now.

No need to buy more anytime soon...

I am curious about that. I haven't heard of any construction going on near Pittsburgh from URC. I believe they have like a transfer station/holding station thingy near Butler, PA. Which is about an hour outside of Pittsburgh.

20 bucks Canadian for 3/4 of a tank, Shell in Alberta, Canada. Prices are around 61.9c/L for regular at shell, esso, co-op, and petro canada. Centex had regular at 63.9c/L for some reason

wow! Normal price or just a price war?

we are still above $2...currently at $2.15. I still blame URC!

Caretaker · Post by **Caretaker** » Thu Apr 23, 2020 11:05 am

gasbuddy.com tells me it is $1.61 at Sam's Club. I decided not to go out and check it for myself

Geez, I was just looking at the gasbuddy heat map. Does everyone from Chicago drive up to Wisconsin to get their gas? What's up with that? Do they not have any gas tax in that state to make it so low or do they have a direct pipeline from the Dakota oil fields?

Normal price for regular. Yesterday it was 1.05 ... today .99 We have some of the more affordable gas in the country right now!

tpollauf · Post by **tpollauf** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 3:12 am

Still $0.99 for regular. It's nice to be able to fill up my 04 GT with premium at, what "other" stations charge for regular

Caretaker · Post by **Caretaker** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:39 am

And someone nicely left their credit card in the machine for you to fill up for free

I've noticed that the price gap between premium and regular has widened considerably. Is that due to low demand for premium driving up the processing costs? As I recall, the price gaps used to be only 5-10 cents more for mid grade and then another 10-15 cent markup from mid grade to premium.

KingKrab65 · Post by **KingKrab65** » Mon May 04, 2020 5:12 am

I filled up my tank yesterday for $10.60 with price at $1.31/gallon. It is hard to believe that in January the price at almost exactly a dollar more per gallon here in Charlotte, NC.

Going through California, Oregon and Washington between March 18th-20th I never found anything below 2.36 a gallon, I believe. SInce I've been home on Vancouver Island the lowest was 86 cents/Litre at Costco for a week or so.

zbyers · Post by **zbyers** » Tue May 26, 2020 2:21 am

We never got below $2.00 here in NW PA. Lowest it hit was $2.09. We are already back to $2.35 as of a week or so ago.

This week its running $3.199/gal where I live.

the president does not dictate gas prices. let's leave politics in the politics section of the forum.

$3.55 for cheap stuff in Warren, PA. If I run ethanol free premium for the GT/mowers, it's something like $4.50 or so.

Bookworm · Post by **Bookworm** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 5:48 pm

In Cypress, TX, just outside of Houston (NW), the current price is around $2.799

(I HATE that the FTC lets them sell in tenth-pennies. There's never been one minted in the history of the country)

Jedman · Post by **Jedman** » Thu Feb 10, 2022 5:57 am

Since our recent snow storm last week our gas went from $ 285.9 to $ 336.9 here in SE Michigan.

In Cypress, it's now running up to 3.10. Much higher in other parts of town.

sure hope you got the decimal point in the wrong spot

Paid $3.579/gal today.

I expect it to jump up with what's going on in Ukraine

Got a shock today when I stopped by an advance auto parts store to pick up stuff to change the oil in my son's car, and they were charging about $8 per quart of conventional oil

Bookworm · Post by **Bookworm** » Wed Feb 23, 2022 11:23 pm

Drove to the next county over for a job, and then filled up at the Buck-ee's. (Not the ethanol free, that'll be for the new car).

$3.059 per gallon for 87 octane.

Mind you, some places in Houston it's closer to $3.89.

tpollauf · Post by **tpollauf** » Mon Mar 07, 2022 7:31 pm

Well it finally hit us here in NW Ohio, where we've historically has low gas when the rest of the country was high. $4 plus per gallon. OUCH !!!

SlammedNiss · Post by **SlammedNiss** » Wed Mar 09, 2022 4:25 am

Just filled my Rav4 up last week. Price was $3.49/g I think. Total was $46.28. I gotta say that although I do miss my Xrs, I'm glad I no longer have to fill a car up with higher octane premium gas.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Thu Mar 10, 2022 6:27 pm

$5.06 for 93 today. Might not be too bad, however...

As I looked back through my records, the previous high for 93 was $4.37 in 6/2014. For 87, that was $4.27 in 6/2008. That would be $5.54 and $5.19 in today's money, respectively.
