Gas Buddy reports under $3.10 in the area near Carmel, Indiana. How they (and most of Indiana) are so much cheaper than most of the mid-south, I don’t know. Excepting S. Illinois, of course: THERE we know the reason — IL sticks out nearly as badly as CA on Gas Buddy’s map. Yeesh!!
Just out of curiosity, how high did you max out? IIRC, at one point I think I paid $4.29/gal. Some stations in S. IL were over $5.
Anyway, it’s nice to see better relief for some people! :-)
The highest I paid was $4.65/gallon at our Costco. Carmel is one of the ritziest places around. Hard to believe it’s even less there than where I am.
