Well, what's the going rate?

I'm in Palm Springs California and we're now paying $3.15/gallon. We're probably almost the highest in the nation?

$2.59 a gallon in Clearwater, Florida.

It was as low as $1.98 a gallon in Nov 06

~ $2.81 in Queens/Nassau Co., NY.

But don't sweat it, these clowns say that $3/gln is way off in the distance.

Clearly they haven't been paying attention to who the White House is in bed with.....

$2.53 Lexington Mass.

Well, what's the going rate?

In the past month, we have paid between $3.159 and $3.659. Prices are apt to shift up or down 20 cents at any given time, and we are trying to put in a few gallons when it is high, (Thursday - Sunday) and fill the tank when the price drops. (Usually Monday - Wednesday) I often feel though that the major price drops only occur after my debit card has been scanned into the system. Locally, our Wesco stations are generally the lowest price. Wesco is so ubiquitous in this town that they have two stations a block apart. One of those has a permanent stairway to their price sign. It is usually a penny or two less on the North side of town, but it's hard to justify twenty miles of driving to save a quarter on a fill up.

$3.20 for regular, $3.86 for premium. Read em and weep, boys.

Akron - the least I have seen this week is $2.49 average is $2.59

I will really weep when I get back to California

editted to change the lowest price is now $2.59 it's Thursday and they raise the prices for the weekends.

Too damn much! California always takes it in the shorts in summer (which seems to come earlier every year).

$3.19 at last fillup. It'll probably be $3.29 this week.

(that would be in Long Beach, CA)

I just paid $3.19 for regular at the cheapest no-name station in the People's Republic of Santa Cruz, Ca. Aptos actually (waves to BecomingHuman)

Oh well... It is still cheaper than most beverages, most of which are not really necessary for survival.

I filled up the other day at $2.43 a gallon at a BP. Shell, next door, was at $2.69.

This is Cleveland Ohio.

2.14 for regular, 2.45 for Diesel. IN Alaska.

BTW- I just spoke with my cuz in Russia- it is only 1.25 USD there! (Kazan Russia)

losangelesgasprices.com has a station in Long Beach selling regular at $3.49/gallon. The prices I saw this morning were around $3.25.

(you know it's bad when there's a website dedicated to finding the lowest gas prices in LA! )

www.gasbuddy.com will find you the lowest price for gas anywhere in the US.


Dollars to donuts that is a per liter price. So multiply by 3.79 (approx) to get the equivalent here.

See this article.

The conversion rate is about 26 rubles per dollar.

It's the same site. Once you pick the state/city, etc. Eh, I thought it was funny.

Thanks for the link Amlord.

I just looked at Gas Buddy. The figures they present are consistent with what I've observed - a low of about $2.44 to a high of $2.64. There is much variation in the Fort Worth market. I've noticed a trend in my part of town to end in 9 - $2.49 per gallon.

Edited to Add:

Gas Buddy has 90 prices listed for the Fort Worth area.

Gas Buddy Fort Worth, Texas

I keyed the numbers into MS Excel and came up with these numbers for central tendency:

Mean=$2.51
Median=$2.49
Mode= $2.49 (recurring 21 times)

I predict $2.55 for next week. That figure is the second highest recurring number - 15 times).

Hey I will be in good ol Long Beach next week on business (going to Anaheim with rental)

CA pays the big bucks for the boutique “gas formulation” and of course your Taxes!

Nope- it is per gallon- I did the conversion bro! I have been there 3 times now, and fuel has always been about half of what it costs here- it is very regional in Russia- fuel prices as well as many other things. Transneft is hq'd there, and I think that has something to do with it. Also, Tartastan has some automony, though not what it had before Putin (this is actually a good thing) - and a very, very, very healthy economy, similar to a boom town right now- they are on the volga river, and the Kazan river confluence- on top of that, most of the space industry work and oil industry fabrication modules are done there.

Good things happening in that region!

It was 35 rubles to the dollar on the last trip, BTW, little over a year ago.

Hard to monitor that though- they will de-value or re-issue the ruble at times, confusing the heck out of me!

Yesterday's newspaper put it best. The front page story was the price of gas:


In the morning Thursday, it had reached $2.539 per gallon and we put in $10.00 hoping the price would drop before we picked our daughter up from school later in the day.

I doubt the newspaper got it wrong by a factor of two. The article says about 18 rubles per liter. 3.78 liters per gallon, 26 rubles per dollar (as of yesterday). That makes gasoline $2.61 per gallon--suprisingly similar to the number we pay here... Now the interesting thing is that the price is dropping in Russia and rising here.

Of course you know how much of a kleptocracy that Russia is. Somebody might be giving away low priced gasoline to repay his neighborhood "associates" I suppose.

Moscow and St. Petersburgh- that is the correct amount, BTW- the ruble fluctuates- but your math is correct as far as I know for Moscow and St.Petersburgh- both of those cities have impossibly high prices for locals- it is geared towards the foreign markets and tourists- prices for nearly everything is SOOO much lower outside those two cities influence.

Putin has put the brakes hard core on the "kleptocracy" in as far as it is allowed to steal from foriegn investment- he basically told them- interfere with biz and die. Some didn't heed that while I was there- and some bodies turned up in the city park, in order to underscore this directive. This is one of the reasons he is so popular there- he has enabled so many small biz to flourish- like the US.

But the fuel is still a monopoly, with corrupt oligarchs running the show. in Kazan, it is very much lower than Moscow for fuel right now, and outside the "big city" it is even lower.

Pricing structure there is wierd anyway- there, a kiosk has the same prices as the "supermarket" (it is wierd when you hear this word on the radio, BTW) - and McDonalds is "fine dining" and they have one uber-expensive "american resteraunt" there, where a meal can cost over 12 dollars American LOL

$2.68 here.

A few years ago I went to Canada and I heard everybody complaining about the price of gas. When I told them how much we payed here in Holland, they were utterly amazed.

So how much is a gallon here in Holland?
we pay 1.36 euro per liter so that means;

1 gallon = 3.7854118
1.36 euro = 1.81757 dollar

so that comes down to: 6.88 dollar per gallon

What are you all concerned about?

$2.76 here now.

$3.259 per gallon in Tarzana, CA.

A useless bit of trivia for you: even though there are more drivers and more cars in California than ever, we used less gas last year. A measly 0.7%, but it’s the first drop in use since 1992. And the rest of the nation’s use is up. So there! (source: LA Times front page)

Shoot, now the gas companies will raise their prices to maintain their obscene level of profit.

Oh, and holding steady at $3.19 - 3.25 (depending which station) in Long Beach.
