In Los Angeles CA for Regular Diesel $4.69 to $5.79

I have a Centrex station around the corner from me and it's $132.4 litre. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday's it drops 2 cents a litre. Diesel is $1.479 a litre.

And all you fine folks in the US thought you paid a lot... LOL!

Just do a search in your area.

http://www.californiagasprices.com/ is the easiest to look through. I think you just have to replace california for your state but there is also http://www.gasbuddy.com/ if it does not work for you.

I passed a station the other day selling E85 (85% Ethanol) at $3.69/gal. Regular gas is $4.11 to $4.29 per gallon in my neck of the woods. My car doesent have a flex engine, anyone know what the maximum ethanol percentage is for non-flex engines?
Example:
If I have half a tank of regular gas, and fill it with E85, I'd be running 42.5% Ethanol, but no idea what that would do to my car.

No exact high or low prices, but I paid 4.219 yesterday.

It has been there for a few weeks.

$105.00 to fill up for the week!

California = $5.079 per gallon. In Oakley, California $4.279, 40 miles north of Fremont.

Paid 4.039 at a Hess Station yesterday. Highest to date for me down here in FL.
An interesting observation I had during a driving trip to AZ last December. I drive the speed limit ALL the time and of course there isn't much variation in topography on I-10 thru NM>TX>LA, BUT everytime I filled up with gas, (where the sign said 10% or less Ethanol) my mpg decreased approximitly from 29-31 mpg to 26-28 mpg. It was consistent. This was driving a Taurus V6. Just a FYI item.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
-----------------------
Regular unleaded - 4.55 lowest

Regular unleaded - 5.05 highest

...and that's down almost .60/gallon from last week.
How ya like them apples?

But of course - that station was boarded up and closed for six months.

I've not noticed any around the Chicago NW Suburbs less than 4 and a quarter. With gas going down on the market this week almost ten dollars, why did the prices at the pumps go up a couple cents? That's a rhetorical question...

AAA reported the nationwide (in the US) average price of a gallon of regular gas at $4.105 last night.

Oil has slid a little in price lately but it won't last. The situation with Iran isn't going to help matters either.

$3.98 for regular unleaded in Georgetown, KY last night. Saw E85 for $3.15 in Indiana off Rt 74 (just east of Indianapolis).

Do not do that. Ethanol will tear up your rubber hoses in the car. It will also stall. Lets talk about E85. Yes it is cheaper but it takes more of it to burn in your vehicle. This ethanol is the biggest joke in our country today. Now instead of having one refinery making gas you have two now. One for ethanol.

The other answer to your question. If E85 is in your area you are probably running E10 and that is the max you car can take. FYI, your gas mileage has decreased by using the E10.

I paid $4.079 per gallon Thursday for regular unleaded. Yesterday it was only (ONLY!) $3.979.

Diesel was $4.779 yesterday.

Western burbs of chicago (Dupage county..never COOK!)
Shell V-Power 93 4.47 a few days ago..
(Can't use that 'regular' stuff..car would prolly blow up.. )

No worries, I haven't put any in my tank. More of an academic question.

In my area (Phila.) the price has recently dipped below $4. What is quite amusing is I remember the first time I paid "over $2," and boy was I fuming. It was 2.139 in Yonkers, NY, circa late 2k1 if memory serves me. I decided to only get 5 gal. since gas was so outrageously expensive. LOL

LOL the owner's manual is the key. If you don't need it, don't pay for it is the way I look for it. On my Nissan, the fuel door says that premium is recommended but regular may be used. I've used 87 for over 160k miles with no harm nor foul to the knock sensors, motor, etc. My other car also says premium recommended, but 89 is REQUIRED. So I just use 93 super....

My Regal required 93 octane. I tried 87 and 90 a couple times and didn't notice any knocking or performance issues. But the "check engine" would sometimes come on, so I stuck to 93.

gas @ 3.78 in St. Louis

Janesville Wiscosnin regular is going for $3.89 and E85 for $3.39

We bought regular for 3.85 / gallon in Yuma az

You can look at
www.gasbuddy.com
You can branch our by location from there. Updated by users. Very good resource

I don't know what year your car is but if it is fairly new it can run on 87 octane. The computer adjusts the timing based on the knock sensor to prevent damage. You will loose a few horsepower (~5%) if you use lower octane. The manufacturer is required to specify the higher octane so you get the horsepower they advertise. The reality is that you can't tell the difference in power unless you are on a race track.

Like everywhere else, prices have dropped in the best 2-3 days.
At the Hess station I use in Ormond Beach, FL it dropped .11/gal to $3.939/gal and a typically pricey CITGO (which I won't buy) it dropped .12/gal.

Like the user above, if I use "less than 10% ethanol" mixture gas , I notice up to 2-3 mpg decrease gas mileage. I typically get 22-24 mpg around town in my V6 Taurus.

From what I understand the maximum percentage in a non-flexfuel engine is 10%. My owners manual says that as well. I have a '04 F-150. FOr your specific vehicle it will be somewhere in your owners manual. BTW... Wish I had a E85 station in my area, Wilson, NC.

A 2007 Silverado Flex Fuel engine..

In houston just filled up for $3.97 a gal

In my general play area south of LAX (Los Angeles) gas prices range from $4.20 to $4.33. Depending on what intersection you’re at.

Stations close to LAX will get the highest prices. You know returning the rental car. Filling up the car’s gas tank before turning it in.

I rewirte engine management systems for a side line. MOST ECU's will trip a check engine light at or about 25-30% E85, if it is a gas only vehicle. Some states are mandating 20% E85 and many more are mandated at 10%, so keeping the mixtures low will work fine. E85 likes a richer mixture (9.003:1 vs. 14.64:1. but this varies with the mix percentage), so there will be a slight ding in economy due to the reduced energy content.
E85 is MUCH higher octane, and like higher mechanical compression and more timing. I've converted both of my vehicles to E85, it costs 25% less (locally) and I get 20% fewer MPG, so I'm still at a net gain.

Filled up today in Neptune,NJ $2.07/gal

I just filled up for $2.19, who would have ever thought we would be thinking $2.00 gas was cheep

Filled up today, CHEAP GAS 1.87 for shell

i like it!!

$1.97 here in Va. Let's hope it keeps dropping!

The average price for regular unleaded here in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area is $2.13 this morning. + of course 9/10

1.65!!!

oh wow 1.65 . We have 1.99

and here is the website to chk prices in your area

http://www.automotive.com/gas-prices/index.html

I've looked at these type sites before and find them somewhat fun to look at. One is updated by members and is inaccurate for the most part although a time stamp is included with the posted price and does provides a hint to the accuracy.

Others, like the link above don't appear to include discount places like Costco or Sam's.

We're programmed into believing anything under 2.00 a gallon is cheap. I guess I need to change my way of thinking. Maybe anything under 3 should be cheap?

Actually under $2 isn't that bad. But I do recall a few weeks ago that when it fell to just below $3 people were besides themselves running out to top off their tanks every few days in fear that prices would reverse.

Making me feel kind of old... I remember we had to walk to school, 5 miles, up hill, both ways, in three feet of snow....

Northern Va is 2.25 per gallon. I hear that it will drop to less than two dollars by the end of the week!

Wish we had some of these prices in Phx Az $2.39 average here and My truck that I need for work gets if I'm lucky 12 mpg

Here in the Cincinnati area, I see prices ranges from $1.69 to $2.05 in Northern Kentucky for regular unleaded. I pay close attention to the signs to and from work on my 35 mile commute.

I agree. and we thought it will be upward of 5 dollars. But I am happy to see gas at 2 dollars. As we had thought gas prices will never go down and I was even happy to see it going down under 3 dollars. Infact 2 weeks ago when I got gas at 2.19 I was too happy.
Any furhter reduction in prices at gas stations is most welcome by me. But for now I am happy with 2 dollars a gallon.

93 is going for 2.29 in Laurel, MD.

Houston is around 2 dollar per gallon

has regular for $1.65!

Woo Hoo!

With gas price up and down now, trash removal, delivery service, ... do we see their price go down. Or, they are put aside as "reserve" in case oil price goes up again?

Going on a long road trip tomorrow. I am looking forward to unagonizing fillups at the gas station!!
