gas prices your area

hey ya'll

i live in clearwater fl, i was going to visit my sister last night in tampa, i went by a hess station and saw a traffic jam to get gas, it was 1.89 went by a few others and saw a range of 1.89-199, still a little over two here in clearwater. i almost shed a tear when i saw this, i dont know about you guys but between driving my new truck and filling up my boat i feel like im working to just fuel up for the last year or so, this is much needed having it back under 2 bucks.

what about you guys??

Geez, I'd probably kill for gas under $2 a gallon. Around here (Northern Oregon) we're FINALLY starting to see gas around $2.60 a gallon. It's been up around and past $3/gallon for most of the summer. I need to take out a small loan just to fill up my expedition.

On the flip side diesel prices are WAY down around here too. For almost two years they've been pricing diesel up above the price for super (around $3.30/gal) now some stations have started to price it with the regular unleaded again.

Filled up in Rockford Illinois @ $2.15/gallon regular unleaded. My bill was $199.91 for 96 gallons or so. 38 in the Excursion and 10 5 gallon tanks for my recreational activities. I know it doesn't add up...

(It was $3.28 less than two months ago when we left on this same trip. That bill was well over $300)

Wonder if that was without PUC? Flying J was at $2.46 on Tuesday, and they're usually the cheapest in the state.

The Shell station downtown is at 2.17 today for regular... But the surrounding stations dropped about 9 cents today, so seeing 2.10 tomorrow or the next day is what I'm expecting. It's a VERY nice change. Not getting my hopes up though, probably gunna shoot back up after the election... Haven't looked much, but I think diesel is at ~2.60ish... could be wrong though

It's 2.199 here in town, 2.089 to 2.159 in the Twin Cities. Diesel is still holding steady at 40 to 80 cents higher than regular unleaded.
