lucky you. Here in Windy City we have to pay over $3.16
It is not fair. Not only you don't have to spend much on house heat, but also you have more fun with your car....lol

I first thought what's your brain doing on the outside then I got what you meant...
I used to live where at one time it was literally -38°F/-39°C outside. It was so cold they say you could drop water from a glass and by the time it hit the ground it would be ice. It stayed like that for almost a week and when it hit 0° I was outside in a t-shirt.
It's all relative.

Hey it's like 55° outside... I had my heavy jacket on when I went out.
Just wait 'til March when it hits 90° and doesn't look back until November. It is vitally important to have a well insulated house.
So it's windy, cold, and not even close to an ocean and you (Chicagoans) are up there because.... Well heck if Oprah loves it then it's gotta be great. Remember she got her break (and I remember seeing her in the '70s) on WJZ TV in Baltimore.

I stopped on Thursday at Walmart and paid $2.78; the Shell station across the street from me has a sign up for $2.98/gallon. Hubby uses premium (darn high performance car!) and he paid $2.89 at Sams on Friday. We live right outside of New Orleans.

If I actually bother to look for the cheapest site, my husband has 2 links that I can use. Normally, unless I go to the truck stop and risk my life, WalMart is the cheapest.

In California the low end is $2.95 and the high end is $3.69 . Today I saw it anywhere from $2.99 to $3.19 here in Sacramento depending on the area. My husband and I were able to get it for $2.99, but the gas station we went to was pretty crowded.

Here in Georgia the gas prices range from 2.76-3.00 per gallon depending on what part of the city you are in. Its 2.86 at kroger then with your kroger card you can get it for 2.76. I expect it to either stay the same or rise until after the presidential election.

It will be heading north definately if nothing but the fact we are going through our presidential process and economists hate change (although without it there would be no job for them, don't get that). So forcasters are predicting $5/gallon before this all levels out and that doesn't include inflation.
If you put the price of gas against the price of gold, gas has not risen at all in price; in fact it has lowered just a bit which means it is more the fault of the dollar than the price of oil itself.

I saw on the news last night that a town in Texas is getting a lot of oil out of some old wells I also saw something about this happening in Wyoming. Something about new technology in getting to oil left in the ground from a long time ago. i hope that they get a lot of wells going so we don't have to depend on foreign oil. This might make the prices go down some more

Gas prices have been dropping slowly here over the past couple of weeks. I live in Central PA, and it's running around 3.05 here, a few places are still around 3.11. So consider yourself getting cheap gas lol. Wish ours would go back down to below $3.

We are not bad but fluctuate a lot and were the catalyst for the huge rise in prices with hurricanes Charley and Ivan four years ago. (jumping from ~$1.25 to $1.85 gallon overnight, don't we long for those days!)
The middle of the country, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc... should come out with the best gas prices... we'll see.

In Nebraska gas is $2.97 a gallon for unleaded. That is the cheapest it has been in a long time. I look for it to be going back up though.

I am a student at Virginia Tech. In Blacksburg, VA gas is around $2.87 a gallon. Back home, in Strasburg VA gas is $2.97 a gallon. I went to Richmond VA last week and gas was $3.03 a gallon. I am not sure about any trends.
P.S. Deesel is about 40 cents higher in all these areas.

Western Massachusetts is between $3.05 and 3.01 Whats worse is heating oil prices in these northern states this time of year. its just under $340.00 for a 100 gallons that lasts us 3 weeks in our 2600 sqft house. Time to sell and move south.....

I am paying $2.75 per gallon as of Friday in New Jersey. It's been dropping for the last week, so it may have dropped under that price by now. If I drove a few miles to a Sunoco station, they are usually a few cents cheaper than what I pay for gas in my town.

Prices are not the same in each country. In europe like netherlands the gasoline costs 1,50 euro/liter. In germany is 1,39 euro/liter. So you have cheaper gasoline prices in america.

yes that is true however you have a MUCH better public transportation system. It kinda equals out. The other thing is in Europe I noticed the cars were made for getting around where in America they are made for luxury (they are bigger, a lot bigger).
Motor bikes were a lot more common in Europe and North Africa as well.
