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.

$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?

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.

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).

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