The cheapest I can find here in Charleston and surrounding areas is $1.61 for regular unleaded. SC has the cheapest in the country as far as average cost goes (I believe). Prices are supposed to be around $3 on national average by summer time! Yowzers! Glad to be in a 4 cylinder!
 
atlanta's around $1.59-1.63 or so for regular unleaded. i thought it was georgia that was known for cheap gas...maybe it was the trees? oh well.
p5 rules!
 
the cheapest i've been able to find for the last few weeks in the boston area is $1.71......quite expensive...

(pissed) Try $2.17 for 87 in Vegas
 
holy cow, that's pretty good. in AZ, average prices are hovering around $1.90 for regular unleaded. in california, my sister's paying $2.49 a gallon for 91 octane. when she goes to san francisco, prices are around $2.59.
 
Around Sacramento, it's $1.97 for 87 octane, and $2.22 for 91...It's actually gone down about 10 cents a gallon over the past few weeks. I'm sure it'll go up some more by summer though.

wow you lose money even when you don't gamble when you are in Vegas! I saw on the news something about the president should pressure OPEC to produce more oil and ride them until they do so, so that we won't have such high prices! All I know is that something should be done. It may be inconvenient now, but it will have a more profound affect in the future (shipping, transportation, etc., etc.)(RTM)
 
in europe, gas prices are about $1.50 a LITER. in japan, it's even more expensive. $2 a gallon isn't that bad. we're just not used to it, hence all the mammoth vehicles that gets 10mpg.

haha.. but seriously check here for MY gas prices: http://www.tulsagasprices.com/ Tulsa always has had some of the lowest as prices. lowest in town is $1.49, but average is $1.55, because all of the "Quick Trip's" in town are the same, and they are the biggest gas station chain in the area, not to meantion the cleanest EVAR!!!!
 
It's just over $2/gallon for 93 here in south FL. However, we recently got a lucky break:

At dealership, loyalty pays in gas

By Joseph Mann

Soaring gasoline prices, which reached another high point on Friday, have become a marketing tool for some South Florida businesses.

As part of a promotion, a morning show on Miami radio station Y-100 (WHYI, FM 100.7) recently offered its listeners a free fill-up at a Miami gas station, drawing long lines of cars.

And Rick Case, chairman and chief executive officer of the Rick Case Automotive Group, on Friday began selling gasoline at prices just above wholesale costs to holders of Rick Case Rewards cards at his Honda dealership in Davie.

"The plan is not to make money but to build customer loyalty," Case said. "We're going to be real close to break even. It's a service to our customers."

The dealership, which installed eight new pumps on its property at the intersection of Interstate 75 and Griffin Road, is selling three grades of gasoline "at close to cost," said Case. It plans to buy gasoline from wholesalers and price it just high enough to cover the purchase price and fees charged by credit card companies. The dealership will accept only MasterCard and Visa cards for credit payments.

About 200,000 people in South Florida who have bought cars, motorcycles, parts or accessories, or have obtained service from a Rick Case dealership, already hold these customer benefit cards. Case said others may obtain a card at no cost by visiting any Rick Case dealership in the area. The cards, which accumulate points for purchases, can be used for discounts when customers buy a car.

Case's initiative comes after gasoline prices nationwide reached another peak. The national average retail price for a gallon of unleaded regular was $1.75, according to the AAA Auto Club's Friday Fuel Gauge report. In Fort Lauderdale, a gallon of regular unleaded had an average price of $1.82, also an all-time high. Gas stations polled by phone were selling unleaded regular from $1.79 to $1.87 per gallon Friday.

The Case dealership priced a gallon of unleaded regular Friday for $1.74, and a gallon of high octane for $1.86. Prices will change as wholesale prices rise and fall, Case said.
"We're not going to make money on this. We sure don't make any money on our free car washes," he added. Rick Case dealerships also offer free car washes to those who buy a car at a Rick Case dealership for as long as they own the car.

The Davie dealership invested $300,000 to buy and install the gas pumps.

The new service will be available from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, he said.
My mom has a 2000 Accord that we take there for service, so I get to use her reward card! (yippy)
 
Here in wisconsin the gas just went up to $1.79 today. couple that with one of the highest gas taxes in the nation (gas tax goes up on Thursday), and I imagine that our gas will be up to $2.00 a gallon for 87 octane in no time.

On the other hand, it's a lot cheaper here in the US than in most other countries, so I won't complain!

It's too bad that the P5 doesn't get a little better gas mileage than it does. I mean, come on, my brand new P5 gets as good of gas mileage as my 1985 Dodge Omni GLH!
 
$1.59 this morning, paid $2.09 in Huntington Beach last weekend. Expensive out there but i admire all of you that live in Cal. What an awesome state!!!!
 
Premium in H.B. was $2.50. Amazing how many people are willing to pay for it thou. If i made $500,000 a year that would keep me in the same lifestyle i'd live here.
