Gas is down to $2.85 here!
 
Here in Wichita, gas is now "only" $2.85 per gallon. This is the lowest we've seen in a very long time. What's the price where you are right now?

$3.49 here in upstate NY.

When I was in Paris last week, regular unleaded was approximately $8.80 a gallon.

below $3 at some of the off spec stations in HOuston . . .

$2.82 in Olathe, Kanas.

It is usually 7-8 cents cheaper 7 miles west in Missouri.

I saw $3.29 today, and for here in California that's very good, ridiculous as it seems.

Why do gas prices always drop before a presidential election?

$3.51 a gal for reg unleaded here in San Jose, CA.

In Hawaii gas is up from $1.80 only a few years ago to $4.00 now.

It had been up even higher.

I refuse to say it is down to $4.00.

At $3.00 or $4.00 it is not good.

How many refinerys do you have in Hawaii?

Garfield Oct 9th, 2008 03:33 PM

$2.69 in Durant OK

Here in Lancaster, PA gas is $3.13...haven't seen a price like that in a long time!

Here in UT, we're still at $3.53 and that's down from last week. Painful on our much, much lower incomes (compared to most other states).

Two oil refineries in Hawaii. Both on Oahu.

kansasmom Oct 9th, 2008 04:56 PM

I wondered too if the election had anything to do with it!

Rich Oct 9th, 2008 05:32 PM

More to do with price of Crude

Congrats to us. CLT was declared by AAA to have the highest gas prices in the continental US today.

Rich Oct 9th, 2008 05:43 PM

What is CLT?

Dutch Oct 9th, 2008 06:27 PM

$3.65 and holding in Eastern UT.

Sunnyshine Oct 9th, 2008 07:58 PM

Iowa Gas: $2.91
Maui Gas: $4.43 (that hurt a lot!)
(we just returned yesterday from Maui)

CLT = airport code for Charlotte, NC

Rich Oct 10th, 2008 04:58 AM

O no . . we are planning a road trip that includes Charlotte . . guess we better tank up before we get there!
