    Default Gas Prices

    Have the prices dropped where you are?

    We're at 3.25 in town. 3.36 right down the street from me. We were in Pa. and Md. this past weekend. About the same prices there as here. Virginia, 3.17 at the Sheetz on US 17 and US 340. 2.99 in Fredericksburg. In NC we pay 37.8 cpg state tax along with the 18.4 cpg fed tax. The state wants to raise the tax again.

    Those are regular gas prices. I pay 3.61 for 91 octane.

    $3.72 per gallon for 87 octane up here...
    93 octane runs about $4.13...
    Those prices are down by about a dime per gallon...

    We have the cheapest gas prices we've seen in years! It's $3.871 (avg) in Oregon. I think it has to be shipped to us via pipeline from China...

    Default WOW what low prices

    My local gas station is 1.269 per liter 87 octane and 1.379 per liter 91 octane. With today's conversion rate USD to CAD. That works out to 4.43 and 4.78.

    It goes up before summer because they are sapping over to the summer blend. The only problem with that is where I live the blend never changes. so why does the price? I have never been able to figure that one out.

    That's like us trying to figure out why city prices are higher than coastal prices, where the gas has to be trucked a lot farther!! Like Mark Twain always said, politicians and diapers need to be changed regularly, and for the same reason!

    Maybe your price will come down when Line 9 gets reversed you guys can get some western Canadian oil. Those darn protesters keep blocking the workers from doing their job. Until then imported oil for you means world price.

    On the island of Montreal it is @1.45 & off island, but still in QC, it mysteriously manages to be 1.35. Nothing is ever done to stop the collusion on the island & all the gas stations put the prices up & down simultaneously.

    Current pricing is $3.85 for 87, $3.95 for 88, and $4.05 for 90.

    It is down from the summer high of $4.12 for 87, plus .10, plus .10.

    This covers anchorage metro area. It gets more expensive as you go inland. I paid $4.85 for regular in Seward AK about 3 weeks ago.

    NC has more roads to maintain than Virginia and that is why our state tax on gas is higher to maintain them.

    Paid $4.19 for 93. A week later (at a different but not that far away station) paid $3.47.

    When you're down to 1 bar and the low fuel light's on you do what you have to.

    We do have the largest state maintained highway system in the country. It would be ok if the two previous governors hadn't raided the highway fund for other purposes.

    New Jersey politicians have a long and illustrious career of raiding the Highway Trust Fund for everything except the highways. It's a time-honored tradition. Concurrent with annual discussions about raising the gas tax to replenish said Trust Fund.
