Last week I was going to gas up first thing in the morning, but didn't want to drive to get my hot chocolate to start my day. I did go later after lunch and was so happy to see that gas went up .16 cents/l. So I got to pay 1.49.9, I was excited. Oh Walt I filled up my gas can and only cost me $35, what a deal.

Yeah I agree with you Walt (have I ever said that before ) gas went down a penny today, what a relief

I just went and got gas in California and it was $1.00 more than in Florida... $3.50 a gallon compared to $2.50 a gallon...

Very high taxes in California.

Just saw gas in my hood for $2.87 a gallon... up like 30 cents... surprised by the recent spike

Wow! I just bought gas in Amarillo for $2.42 two days ago.

$3.40 a gallon in California... which is about $1.00 more a gallon than Florida...

Look at the Gas Buddy Heat Map. California is the deepest red of the entire country. Always has been.

That is the greatest app ever!

I use it whenever I travel. Will use it in Tampa. I saw a station that was 10¢ cheaper than surrounding stations near the airport there in Tampa. Then tack on another 5¢ for using the Gas Buddy card, and that's 15¢/gallon I've saved.

The gas buddy card isn't a credit card. It links to your checking account. Then, when you use it to buy gas (pretty much anywhere,) it deducts 5¢/gal from the total and deducts that from your account. Pretty convenient, if you ask me.

I'm all about gas buddy! It's probably my favorite app!

I don't know precisely when it happened, but somewhere in the last 8 - 10 days, gas prices jumped 30¢ - 35¢ per gallon. And, all indications are that it was another overnight increase. Have you ever seen prices go DOWN by 30¢ overnight? Of course you haven't. Current prices are $2.80 - $2.89 here

I think it's 2.45 here right now, was nice when dropped below $2.00

$4.00 a gallon here in LA. Glad to be going home to Tampa yoday where it's $2.50. Just another thing I love about florida!

I think Hawaii pays the most of anyone, someone can check on that but I think they pay almost $6.00 or more.

According to Gas Buddy, Hawaii is running $3.70 - $3.85 range for non Military stations ($3.35 - $3.40 for those,) and Maui looks to be about the $4.10 - $4.15 range. Anchorage, Alaska, by comparison, is around $3.15 - $3.20.

thanks Walt wasn't sure what the price was going there

Andrew, check out Gas Buddy. It is very helpful, even in your own local area, where gas prices can differ by as much as 20¢/Gal. Over time, using it can save you decent money. I also use the Gas Buddy card and it saves me another 5¢/gal. It's not a credit card, it links to your bank account, calculates the 5¢/gal discount, then deducts the balance from your bank account.

Ours here in South Louisiana is running right about $2.40 to $2.60 for reg unleaded, so it's mostly average.

The Murphy USA station at the retail outlet I work at is almost complete with their total reconstruction/remodel. New pumps with diesel and non-ethanol available at every one of them, and an internal store. Reopening planned for near Thanksgiving or the week afterwards.

I paid $2.51 in El Paso when filling up for my trip. Looks like I'll pay about $2.77 when I fill up for the trip back home next Monday.

Sounds like a great station coming to town, Anthony.

Well this is going on:
