1.99 in San marcos, Texas for regular.

Thought now would be a good time to bump this thread. When gas is almost 2.00 in Texas, you know prices elsewhere are going to be crazy

1.94 for 87 in St. Louis Mo. Crappy weather but cheaper gas than in CA. I drive a gas truck so I get a bit of a heads up on the price. Look for it to go up nationwide. Sucks!!!!

Roughly 2.13-2.19 a gallon, and the filling stations all say be fore warned, it'll hit 2.25 before long. York County, Maine. usually higher in urban areas.

So much for the V-8 come back, sigh.

Yeah well, regular over here in West Covina and Riverside in SoCal, is around $2.50.  Yet because my car chooses to ping with regular, I must pay around $2.70 for good premium.  This is a bigger problem because for some reason we cant figure out, my car also sucks away gas like there is no tomorrow.  Hope i can get that solved or at least hopefully the gas prices go back down.

Loving my plum 1978 Pinto Hatchback.  He has a rebuilt engine and is running like new. Beautiful. He still needs a new paint job though.

Wow!! I thought our gas prices were bad!! Here in Wooster, O.H we are paying around $1.259 last I looked which wasn't too long ago, and it's usually about 4-5 cents cheaper in Creston, the next town over!!!
My theory on the Gas Tank of the Ford Pinto:
If it ain't fixed, don't break it!! :)
