How Cheap Is YOUR Gas? Fri, 11/14/08 1:15 AM (permalink)
Dearfolk,
Yesterday I filled Van Ella up for $1.97.9 for regular. Since Blanch The Cadillac takes only premium (she's an expensive date), I can now afford to keep her fed.
Malcolm, the SYSCO salesman, tells me of a place in between Hartwell and Bowman, Georgia (a BP station) that is at $1.71 a gallon and dropping. "I've seen similar prices on Thornton Road in Lithia Springs and along Forest Parkway in Forest Park," he added.
How's your gas prices going? -- I'd especially like to know about New Jersey, which has consistently been one of the cheapest gas-up states I've ever visited.

    My trip from Cincinnati to Mexico Beach had quite a range of prices.

    $1.91 at home before I left
    $1.76 around the KY/TN border
    $2.29 in Montgomery
    $2.06 around FL/AL border
    $2.19 here at Mexico Beach

    Sure beats the prices this summer of around $4.00/gallon

      This area of New Jersey has (usually) been one of the least expensive places for a fill up. New Jersey is a full service only state, but I live somewhat close to the refineries in Linden.

      Today, the cheapest price I saw was $2.21 a gallon.

              $1.99 and dropping. Much less than the $5.09 a few months ago.

                $2.10 and falling (for now). OPEC is expected to cut production by 1 million barrels a day due to global demand destruction. Their economies depend on oil being at much higher price levels.

                  $1.95 on the north side of Grand Rapids, MI. First time I've seen under two bucks a gallon in I don't remember how long. I was so surprised I almost drove into the car in front of me.

                        In west suburban Chicago, it dropped Wednesday to $2.19 per gallon. Our high, at the same station I regualarly patronize was approximately $4.59 per gallon at the peak. Outside the large Chicagoland area, it is under $2.00. BTW - Our supplies were not influenced by the hurricanes this season as apparantly, our fuel comes from Canada.

                          Here in Central PA, it varies -- under $2.00 per gallon in Mechanicsburg, a little over $2.00 in Dillsburg, a little over $2.10 in Hanover. Unfortunately, I rarely have any reason to go to Mechanicsburg, so the money I'd save would be burned by driving out of my way to get gas.

                            Westchester County, NY - North White Plains is the cheapest around. I paid $2.35 this morning which is $2.00 less per gallon than it was at the height in August.

                                  Not great but a lot better than it was. Here at the Costco in Kona, I paid $2.52 this past Monday. At the peak it was $4.30. The stations that cater to the tourist trade are still charging $3.35. What a ripoff!

                                    Yesterday I paid $1.87. Prices are all over the place, generally higher by the interstate.

                                      Around $2.

                                      I use this site for a decent check of the situation:

                                        Chipley: $2.15 (before 3c Wal-Mart discount).
                                        A Circle K in Panama City Beach became the first in Bay County to go below the $2 mark ($1.99).
                                        And most stations north of the border (Florida/Alabama) are around the $2 mark or may be below that now.

                                                        Amen, Harriet!!!

                                                        When I am traveling, and there is little to no full service options it is like a comedy skit. Some gracious man usually comes to my rescue when he sees the look on my face. They can always spot the Jersey Girls. Especially when a conversation ensues, and my accent comes out.

                                                        Today, I noticed prices in Hoboken, Jersey City & Bayonne NJ ranging between $1.99 to $2.11

                                                            Right about now I would like to see the oil from our "Stratergy Reserve" released. We would be paying $.99/ gallon in no time.

                                                            Best price in my area is $2.25.
