Prices seem to be going up the last 4 to 6 weeks.
If gas starts increasing rapidly it seems like this could be an election problem for the commies!!

$3.75 at most of the stations around here in mid-Michigan. Filled up this morning and used my Kroger points and saved .60/gal. Thought I did good but it still didn't get down to your price. Bob
$3.599 in the Kalispell area.
Thanks, Joe, ya *!
Bobjudy, I remember being in Detroit in the early 70s and seeing these "GAS WAR" signs. I filled up my pickup at 25.9.
25.9. 25.9! 25.9!! Can you believe it!! 25.9!!!😁
I remember paying 30 cents and getting 30 miles to the gallon in my VW bug back about 1968. Before I could drive, the lowest I recall was 19 cents in gas wars. Regular gas back then had tetraethyl lead additive, too.
Here in Utah, gas got down to $2.39 just about two months ago. Back up to $3.39 now. Bought a new vehicle in December, and I've been driving so little I'm buying a half tank a month.
$2.929 at many of the convenience stores and truck stops around here. I, too, renumber gas wars the entire time I was in college ($.19,9 - $25.9). We'd cruise the drive-in all night on $.50 - $.75, and I'd make sure to fill up before I went home for a weekend where it was $.40.9.
Heck, I remember in that time frame of getting it quite often for that or even a couple of cents cheaper and they pumped the gas! Now the dang state and federal taxes on the gas I bought this morning was about .70 and Michigan's roads suck! Our "wonderful" governor Gretchen ran on a fix the damn roads platform 5 years ago - I'm still waiting. Bob
3.11 down from 3.28 two weeks ago.... Independant gas station, Central MO
3.19 in southern WV on average. I did find gas for 2.99 this weekend
$3.50 a gallon in western Illinois. Speaking of remember gas wars and such. I can remember when $3.50 an hour wage was a good days pay.
I put myself through college on $1.65/hr wages. Same timeframe as the 30 cents/gallon I mentioned above.
Eastern nc
I have seen it range from $3.08 TO$3.39 Depending on where you are . Prices quoted are from station within 22 miles of each other .The cheap is located in a small town away from Goldsboro. Goldsboro , being home to a military base ,is consistently 20 cents or more higher than surrounding towns .
King Prickster has it at $3.69 now that we have illegals to take care of. Illinois
$2.94 yesterday at W-M, SW Arkansas. I remember the gas wars in 1960-61, got down to $.17/gal. My uncle had a Texaco station and I got gas from him for $.11/gal with my family discount. He said Texaco was selling to him at $.10/gal.
$3.54 for regular here.
$2.98 at Walmart in Texarkana, Texas. It was $2.53 a couple of weeks ago. We need Trump back in office!
Prices all over the place around here. 3.29, go 20 miles and it is 2.89 and anywhere in between. In extreme WNC and ETN
I am so old I can remember when gas was under $2.00 per gallon. Oh wait ………that was November 2020.
I am so old I can remember .21 a gallon.
$3.58 up here in New York on the Vermont border. Good news is I can drive over to Vermont in about twenty minutes and there it's about twenty-five cents a gallon cheaper.
4.70 at the Bear River casino pump and play

It's spring so here in California we're on the "summer" blend. I think my Chevron is at $5.20? I'll know better later today when I fill.
Payed 3.75 mich
$ 3.74 NW CT
All this reinforces the fact that the oil drilled and gasoline produced belongs to the oil companies. Not the people or the government. They'll price it as they want. I believe the price of crude oil is set in Riyadh not Washington DC. According to some sources, our country is producing more oil than it ever has but since it's exported and put in the world market it has no effect on the price we pay here. Basically it may be our country but it's not our oil.
I can recall the summer of '64......and I was tooling around mid-town OKC on my mo-ped. I would go south from 13th street to Reno Ave to work at unloading drilling mud chemicals from trailers and railroad carts. Hot work.......but I was young.
Every day I'd pass gas stations that would drop to 15 to 17 cents, during a war.........and back up to 28.9 cents when it ended. Ethyl was 3 cents more. That repeated every couple of weeks.
Good times......🥲
Yesterday it was $2.85 for 10% corn gas........here in far North Central Texas. 😪
$3.69 here on Michigan's sunset side. Local TV stations news keep saying it should be under $3.00 per gallon later this year. I have no idea what they're basing that prediction on.
yesterday $2.99-2.97
today $3.49-3.47
guess some of the big gas guys had a bad night at he poker table.........
Ours jumped 30 cents today in Southern WV. 3,49 now
No clue but our fuel supplier said we'd better contract diesel for the coming season before the summer price increases hit.
That's a big ouch in the wallet.🤑
Reg unleaded with 10% ethanol was 3.76 here in northern lower Michigan yesterday. Who knows what it will be today. The dime I save per gallon using my c\c reminds me of the bribes I used to get to do extra chores for my older siblings back when I was just a punk kid!
It was $5.25 I guess $5.20 was last week.
