Johnson City, Tennessee
Regular - $1.96
Premium (or as we old timers call it - High test) - $2.04
I dont know, I moved here a month ago from L.A. where the prices are sure to be about 2.45 right now.
Georgia gas prices are in the 1.79 - 2.09 range, depending on how close you are to the interstate and competing gas stations. In rural, small towns it is around 1.97
I must say that these gas prices really eat into our budget. Me, whose father is in the oil business, have thought about getting a hybrid car or downgrading to a smaller car with better mileage. But shhh! don't tell my dad.
Kind of points out that even at a couple bucks a gallon, gasoline is a bargain. I suppose if I had to drive an hour to and from work each day I would care about the price. But as it stands right now, I don't even check the price. Every two weeks I fill up my car and get a can of chew and a pack of smokes. Price varies from around $28 to $35 dollars. Seven bucks difference just doesn't upset me much.
$2.12 for regular unleaded out here in Addison, MI [South East part of the state]
If we could move the so called law makers to lower the fuel taxes it would help a lot. Why don't we freep them, about this!
Milwaukee, Wisconsin $2.19 Regular AND I think some of the stations are jiggering their pumps. My 16 gallon tank seems to be gulping 17 1/2 gallons at certain stations all of a sudden. I've never put in more than 15 3/4 gal in all the time I've owned the car. My husband and I (we both drive the same model car) have had this happen 3 times in the last month.
RENO
$2.17
$2.27
$2.37
Bike riding weather, though (;^)
I do drive an hour each way. Gas prices are an issue but not the top of my list.
Regular as low as $1.95 as high as $2.03
Hi-test starting at $2.05 up to $2.15
most are at $1.99/$2.09
Isn't that De Tocqueville
Not if adjusted for inflation. I remember reading an FR post a few months ago that tracked historical prices for gasoline in constant dollars. If I recall correctly, the highest inflation-adjusted price was in the early 1950s.
Do you still gas up at Fina Stations 'cause it has Flash?
Fantastic.
We're at $1.98 in central OH for unleaded regular gasoline. Sure, it's a pain to pay more for something, but some perspective is in order, as you provided, and also listed below:
$6.50/gallon for designer water with a French-sounding name
$5/gallon store-brand orange juice
$3/gallon store-brand milk
$9.50/gallon cheap wine (the kind you can buy by the gallon)
$650/gallon decent champagne

I think I'm liking the Teddy Roosevelt quote.
87 octane: $189.9
92 Octane: $209.9
Chicagoland is $2.09 - $2.19 for 87 octane. Didn't we fight two wars for oil or did I miss that memo?
