Gas Is Dirt Cheap Here!
I don't how expensive gasoline is in your part of the world, but here in the upstate of South Carolina it is dirt cheap.

It's easy to find 87 octane unleaded at $1.149. Today I saw it at one place for $1.039 and I've heard of a gas war where it has been less than a buck! To hell with those electric cars, I'm buying me one of those big Ford Excursions!!!!

We are down to as low as $1.71 from $2.00 here in California. We have special formulations for both summer and winter here that help drive up our prices. Lots of gasoline taxes too!!!

Down to $1.57 for mid-grade here in western MA. Was $1.79 two weeks ago. Whatever happened to 17 cents and quadruple green stamps?

$1.45 here in northern WI. But up in Marquette in the U.P., a couple stations have been warring and I got some for $1.23 a couple weekends ago, while the other stations there were around $1.35.

Anywhere from $1.32 - $1.52 here in Colorado for reg unleaded. What a range. I never thought I would be happy paying $1.45 per gal of gas. I feel for you Californians!

Since George W. Bush got the blame for high fuel prices should we give him the credit for lowering them?

OK now here's what I don't understand. Here in San Diego gas is running about $1.75. Go up to L.A. it's about $1.65. But last week in Lancaster it was $1.51! How the hell can Lancaster have lower prices!

Last Friday I waited in line at Costco for $1.45. Everywhere else was $1.72. (Torrance, CA)
The price gets higher as you go north towards the Sierras.

$1.21 around Portland Maine, iffn' you look around.Generally I pay 1.28 and drive down the road a piece and find it for 1.21. Or I could ride around and burn a dollar or two looking to save a half a buck. :p
