$2.79 - $2.98 for regular unleaded, depending on where you buy it.
(Which is flipping insane, given that I live in TEXAS.)

We're climbing past $3.50 for regular gas in the Chicago area.

I'll have to check...haven't looked for awhile since I'm rarely with him when he fills up, and we don't pay for it anyway.

This has been happening here as well. There's a Citgo station across the street from my office and I saw the price there jump $.08 the other day between early morning and lunch time. Since our prices are today about where they were at the height of the summer price spike last year, I'm expecting to see $4.00/gallon within a few months.serijules said:

I've always been curious about the variation in gas prices from one area to another. Certainly there is a role that local and state taxes pay in the differentials that we see and then there are some differences due to local requirements (presumably this accounts for some of the differential in California, for example). Does anyone have a good link at hand that would show what the untaxed price would be in various places around the country? This would reveal differences due to proximity to production fields as well, I should think.

I guess I'm going to have to start riding my bike or either walking. 3.01 is too high! And I believe it is only going to get higher! *rolls eyes*

The Texas Senate apparently passed a bill last week to drop the .20/gal state tax on gas (for the summer). It still has to pass through all the legislative bodies/be signed by the govenor, but it would be loverly if it actually happened.
The station closest to me sometimes adjusts prices hourly... $2.80 in the morning, $2.83 by noon, $2.87 by 5pm, then back down to $2.83 the next day, stabilize for a few days, back up to $2.89, down to $2.86... sigh.

Actually if we had to pay what the folks in Europe paid, maybe we would back the hell up and actually look at our driving habits, our choice in gas guzzling transportation, be a bit further along in actually using public transportation (and insisting on a better public transpo system), and be vocalizing the need for alternative sources besides making the oil companies BIG bucks. We really suck in comparison to the other countries. Sad that we are sitting here bitching about what we are paying but yet per gallon we are still paying less for our gas than our damn starbucks.
