I kept up with the gas prices I paid on my recent drive from Arkansas to Portland, OR and back. (We made a loop, northerly on the way, southerly on the way back--13 states in 15 days.) The highest I paid was in Susanville, CA, $3.49. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. There were a couple of places where I paid less than $3.00.
When I got home, the local price quickly jumped to $3.29 in my town and stayed there. We are on the border of Oklahoma, somewhat removed (25 miles) from other Arkansas towns, so we get our gas from Oklahoma terminals. Twenty-five miles away, in Fayetteville, AR, the gas is often at least 10 cents more, which is a full 40 cents higher than the rest of the state.
The record I had paid before CA was in Vermont, in the week after Katrina, when I paid $3.09 for biodiesel (still wishing I had my little diesel Bug right about now).
I hate that the price of gas changes daily around here. One day it's $3.29 and the next $3.22, but dang if I don't need any that day! The next day it's back up.

7.50 california minimum wage :eek:
and ya.. what is up with HI being cheaper than SF Bay Area? (congrats to HI, btw)
Sorry but your gas is cheap!
As Python has already said we pay double that (most of it is tax). I changed from a petrol to a diesel car as it uses a lot less fuel. I also try to cycle at least once a week. On our holiday to the States two years ago I couldn't get over the fact that petrol was half price.
Just for comparison, UK average petrol price GBP 4.00 a gallon, UK minimum wage GBP 5.35.
Oh, definitely! We have it good in the US. I travel to Denmark for work occasionally and once I did the coversion from kroner/liter to dollars/gallon and I think it came out in the neighborhood of $6 or so per gallon.
Plus Danes pay about 100% tax on new cars.
I drive a diesel..prices range from 2.93 to 3.09 at the various stations around. filled my almost empty truck 75.00. if i drive it sparingly, will last me 3 weeks to get back and forth to work..wish i could commute..
Thought I'd revive this thread based on my observations traveling in the last week:
Gas in Northern Virginia and in Madison County: $2.79
Gas in Denver: $3.04
Gas in Vail: $3.44
I'm very happy to be able to say DITTO to the above. I've been filling up once a month or less this summer. :DQuote:
