Gas prices, wow

[safeinOhio]

Just drove thru Bowling Green Ohio and saw a pump price of $3.14. Just before a holiday?

[villager]

1. Good Lord, gas is that cheap where you are?

I would advise you don't take any road trips out here in California then...

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Or to Chicago.

$4.09 a gallon for regular in the suburbs. More downtown.

[Jamaal510]

7. I was shocked

at how high the gas is in Humboldt when I first came there, particularly around Eureka and Arcata. It's not exactly a huge tourist destination or population center like how the Bay and LA are.

[UncleYoder]

2. Yeah, I'm in Central Ohio.

It's the same around here.
Maybe the memo got lost.

[mike_c]

4. $4.30+ in northern California for unleaded regular....

I haven't seen gas prices as low as you quote in YEARS.

[JaneyVee]

5. $3.99 here in NYC.

[daleanime]

13. 3.89 upstate

not much difference.

[Agschmid]

44. That the going Mass. price.

[Rider3]

6. That's cheap

compared to Boston.

[Throd]

8. $4.15 in Sacramento and set to go higher in all of California.

[etherealtruth]

36. Same for Michigan

I stopped (admittedly just off the freeway) and paid 3.9X

[pinboy3niner]

10. Yeah, that's low for a big holiday

Even in CA the average price has dropped to $4.12.

[SheilaT]

11. $3.49 here in Santa Fe.

At least that's what it was yesterday, and I haven't been out of the house yet today.

Don't gas prices normally spike before a long weekend holiday?

[FSogol]

12. $3.59 in No. VA n/t

[Mosby]

14. $3.69 in phoenix

But $.30 or so less at costco and Sam's club.

[JEB]

15. $3.99 is the cheapest station on my part of the Oregon Coast.

[House of Roberts]

16. Lots of refineries close to there.

Maybe the price is due to low transportation cost and a local oversupply.

[Travis_0004]

22. Ohio also has (slightly) lower than average gas taxes

[LibDemAlways]

17. Goleta Calif near UCSB $4.99. Consider yourself lucky!

26. Wow. That is flat out abusive.

Do you have an excellent public transportation system in that area. I would hope.

[LibDemAlways]

29. There's a station 20 minutes down the coast with more

reasonable prices and many customers. $4.99 is the price people coming from the north on the highway encounter when they first enter the Santa Barbara area. There is a free public bus for the university students. Still, $4.99 is major highway robbery, especially since the station owners know drivers may have been waiting to fill up in SB.

[warrior1]

18. ahem

It's $3.96 in Sacramento.

[pinboy3niner]

21. That's low for CA

The current average price statewide is $4.12.

[bluesbassman]

34. $4.25 at the Shell and Chevron stations near my house. $3.99 for cash at Safeway across town.

[hobbit709]

19. That's 30 cents cheaper than here in Austin.

[liberal N proud]

20. A week ago prices in Cleveland area was $3.89

Last night I saw $3.59

I was in Missouri and paid $2.97.

[frazzled]

23. Average $4.39 in Chicago (central)

Except Costco is $3.85. We always fill up at Costco these days. That's a heckuva lot cheaper than any of the commercial stations inside the city.

[Fearless]

24. 3.99 in western MA

[AngryOldDem]

25. Trust me, you have NO complaints.

Here in the Indianapolis area I haven't paid $3.1 for gas since JANUARY. I just filled up yesterday at $3.61. I know this for a fact because I keep my gas receipts just so I can track how badly I'm getting reamed every time at the pump.

I'm just grateful that I take public transportation for most of the year. When I do have to drive, mainly during the winter months, I have to fill up at least twice a week, and if prices are this high next January, I'm not going to be pleased. And with the way Iraq is going, I can totally see prices only going up.

Just curious: What do you think gas should be going for these days, if $3.14 turns your head?

27. SW Ohio (b/w Cinci and Dayton), 3.69 nt

[whatchamacallit]

28. Look for a slew of scary ISIS stories n/t

[Submariner]

30. $4.53 on Maui but $4.09 at Costco

It's always high but Costco price alleviates the pain somewhat.

[Starry Messenger]

31. I think I paid $4.09 the last time I filled up.

I haven't seen $3.14 gas for years.

[madmom]

32. I live near there, the gas around here..

about an hour away is sticking close to $3.50 give or take.

Do you live in the area or just visiting/passing through?

[safeinOhio]

33. I'm a half hour south.

I was coming back from Toledo and the prices up there were around $2.28. $3.50 in my town also.

[madmom]

35. Cool, I go to BG quite often. We might have to

meet up for coffee or something!

[safeinOhio]

37. Oh no, I just checked gas buddy

BG prices have jumped up 40 cents since this morning.

[BainsBane]

38. I filled up at $3.48 on Sunday

and I that was the best price in the area.

[spanone]

39. that's nothing. 3.65 here in nashville

[boston bean]

40. I just paid 3.79 in MA.

[madinmaryland]

41. I was just up there today.

Was that on Wooster Ave, across from BGSU? I wasn't quite awake this morning after the 2.5 hour drive up there (from the Dayton area), so I wasn't sure if I was seeing it correctly.

[Blue_In_AK]

42. Cheap.

Well over $4 here.

[PasadenaTrudy]

43. Sounds cheap!

Over $4 now here in SoCal..

[CatWoman]

45. $3.65 here

I'd love to pay $3.19
