Ranges from $1.639 to $2.19 in the Austin, TX area. If you want to stay on top of gas prices around the country, as well as your particular area, go to Gasbuddy ( http://www.gasbuddy.com/ ) and join up. It has saved me literally hundreds of dollars over the years. When I know I’ll be needing gas soon, I scan the lists for the areas I’ll be driving and can see twenty cents (often more) difference per gallon within a short distance. I find it invaluable.

From what I understand BP’s primary interest holder is the Queen of England. Thankfully she won’t get in bed with Chavez. – Lorica

Thanks, Sev,you’re right – it is Citgo I was thinking of, not BP, that’s a few cents cheaper.

Citgo is connected to Oogo, not BP as far as I know. I avoid Citgo/7-11 gas for that reason.

Anywhere from $1.79 to $1.87 per gallon in southern NJ. For some reason the BP stations are a few cents cheaper, but if I recall correctly BP is connected to Oooogo Chavez, so I won’t go there.

I just filled up at 1.88 here in western IL, or course I was in Eastern IA when I bought gas. Illinois is about $0.10 per gallon higher, and since I am in Iowa all the time I buy it there. Come and arrest me Slobadon Blogovich!!! It was a nice break and will definately help our economy. I think December is going to be better than we imagine. We shall see. – Lorica

Late last week premium 93 octane was $2.219 here locally at the BP station. Didn’t check but I’d guess regular was a tad above 2 bucks a gallon.

$1.99 at my usual stop. The same up the road, and $2.06 at the nearest Shell.

I can’t, ST. I’m on a mission to save my beloved home.

(Talk about a forlorn hope! )

Gasoline is about $2.39 a gallon here, but Pennsylvania has some of the highest fuel taxes in the nation, at 31.2Â¢ per gallon.

Sis, I’m trying to have sympathy for your 35Âº F, but when it’s 20Âº F up here in the Poconos, it’s kind of difficult.

And I just paid my heating oil bill: $754.55 . . . .

And hopefully going down.
