I can't believe it. I thought BP clossing was supposed to make it more expensive? In stead it has come donw about 10 cents. Its been a long time since I've seen it below $3.

Woodzie, where did you find it at $2.68?

I bought gas in Middlesboro, KY for $2.74 Wednesday, but it was $2.89 in Pigeon Forge today.

The Racetrac (Raceway?) in Solway has the cheapest gas in the Oak Ridge area. I go by there on my way to work every day. Also, if you are in Kingston, gas is usually cheaper there, too.

SC, the cheapest gas in the area is in Portage at the corner of Rt. 20 and Crisman. There are two stations there in a price war. The newer station (can't remember the name of it) gives you 30 cents/gallon off if you buy a $5 car wash, which you have a month to use. A couple weeks ago when gas here was 3.09, I bought gas there for 2.79. I haven't been through there in a week, so I don't know what it is today. But it's probably even cheaper now.

I paid like $2.74 the other day. I had my first 5,000 mile oil change and tire rotation done on the Yaris and my first tankful of gas was 37.5 MPG average.

Ruby the family express by us gives you 10 cents off if you buy their car wash now. They just finished building the car wash.

Thats the gas station between us, the big corn field and the big soybean field, right before the Remus farmstand.

It's down to $3.05 in my immediate area. That should go down some once all the tourists go home after the track closes on Labor Day. I saw gas going for $2.94 in a town about 15 miles north of where I live. Too bad I filled up the day before.

I got it for 2.75 at Wal-Mart yesterday.

N - My first refill with the Camry I just got was at 33 mpg. It was almost all interstate driving but most of it was at about 77-78 mph.

On my way up to London, KY early this morning, I saw a Pilot where it was $2.77, on the way back, I figured I might as well fill up...it was already down to $2.75.

I get back to Knoxville and it was $2.64 at the Pilot on the north side.
