I know some areas are not seeing this due to local refinery problems, but some of us are...

Key word is Seasonal. Low price during the summer driving season.

Here in SW Pennsylvania I paid 2.69 a gallon yesterday.

Much of the Widwest larger area is affected by the BP refinery shutdown.

Not in the Democrats Republic of Kalifornia. $3.40 a gallon is about as good as it gets with the Politburo about to raise the gas tax another 12 cents per gallon.

Central SC: On Sunday I paid $1.99 for gas at a Shell station.

Brand X gas can be found for $1.94/gallon

Parts of South Carolina down to $1.86/gal

Central Texas still 2.45. Hasn’t dropped in several days.

Local Chevron station was at $2.14/gal yesterday; Midland, TX.

I'm one of the unfortunate Freepers who lives under the Environmental Dictatorship of one Jerry Brown. Raising the price of gasoline, building $80 Billion trains to nowhere are just a couple of Jerry's brilliant moves to save the planet. Right now that is costing us 85 cents a gallon above the national average. Heaven knows what that premium is compared to the current low price.

Undeaded here in FL is hitting $2.14/gln and trending down.

Does anyone know the best link to retail fuel prices around the nation? There are several out there, I’m certain...

[Old Sarge]

Did I say “undeaded”?

Yeesh...

[thackney]

I use gasbuddy.com for current and eia.gov for historical.

Good info at AAA as well.

Excellent, thank you again!

Regular is $2.46 at Costco in Salt Lake County. That’s a buck down from one year ago.

Not in Ohio. We have a fake shortage going on.

[Sacajaweau]

NYS did it wrong. They taxed on the dollar. When prices were high....they were raking it in. I see a surtax in our future.

The whole Midwest is impacted by the BP Refinery in Whiting.

The Ashland Refinery near Ashland, KY is less than 2 hours from me. Less than half an hour from us on the KY side of the Ohio, the gas has consistently been 30 cents per gallon cheaper. Interesting, since Ashland delivers the fuel to our gas pumps.
