What are gas prices in your area?

$3.39 here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

[Ed]

We found regular last night at $3.28, while most other stations in the same part of Orlando were at about $3.39. Notice I said "were" - - chances are it's higher this morning.

My truck uses diesel - - right now, it's averaging $ 3.60. Fortunately, I get about 24 mpg.

Last night gas prices were $3.24 in my area.

Yesterday morning when I left home gas at the station just up the street from my home was $3.09. When I returned home about 4 hrs later it was $3.39. Ridiculous, but I'm now really glad I work 3 miles from my home.

Filled up my tank on Monday Feb 21st at $3.05/gal. But by tues the 22nd it went up to $3.29 a gal! Later this week it "dropped" down to $3.25. I think that is the lowest I have seen. Hoping it drops down again before my next need for a fill up. I was lucky this one time!

$3.27 a gallon here now for regular. Unfortunately, my car needs premium and that's running me $3.50 a gallon.

Which is just fabulous when you consider that my round trip commute to work each day is 80 miles.

Regular was $3.259 when I filled our vehicles up on Thursday. I noticed it was up to $3.399 this afternoon. HLN was reporting yesterday that we could see prices get up to $5 a gallon this summer.

Wow, you guys are making me feel good about our prices. 3.15 a gallon (up from 2.93 earlier this week) just north of Denver.

It is $3.35 in Lewistown PA. It went from $3.19 to $3.35 last week.

Just paid $3.57 at Safeway. Chevron across the street wanted $3.75. This is for REGULAR! Insane.

The oil companies are blaming it on the "civil unrest" in Libya, however I think I heard we get less than 10% of our oil from there

Don't believe it!

The oil speculators are getting rich on this one!

Did I just sound like a conspiracy theorist?

We (Americans) are addicted to our cars and cheap gasoline. And even at 3.50 per gallon, gas is still cheap compared to most every other place in the world. That doesn't mean I like to pay that much though. When I was a teenager, we had gas price war for a few months in our town/county. The lowest I ever paid was 19.9 cents per gallon. This was in the 1970's believe it or not. It wasn't that cheap for long though. My best friend had a VW Beetle and we could cruise all night on pocket change.

Gas in my town in Northern NJ went from $2.99 Thursday morning to $3.15 by Saturday for Unleaded, paying cash, which is how I fill up.

Still cheaper than most places in the United States so for that I am grateful. This is going to have an effect on the economy. The average family will have to cut out other things to allow for the extra money being spent at the pump.

We saw this happen in 2008. All while the oil companies had reported "record profits".

It is a vicious wheel. Hope it just doesn't keep rising!

Guys, there's been a few posts here that are straying off topic a bit. The question is, "What are gas prices in your area?" not "Why is gas so expensive?" or "Who's getting rich off of gas prices?"

Keep the politics and the opinions out of it and stay focused on the thread topic, please.

The Triad area of North Carolina is at about $3.39...It's gone up over 15 cents in the past week or soo...

[RedSoxFan]

Gas in Central NY is now $3.63. OUCH!!

Ya know...why pay more than you have to, and I don't even have to go out of my way!!!

The weekend before last, gas was $3.05 at our cheap station. I heard about the increase and went to fill up last Monday. It was already to $3.14. Then, by this weekend, it was $3.29. Crazy!
If it's going to $5-7.50, like I've read, we won't be vacationing, or doing much of anything extra this summer. We won't be able to afford the drive to work, much less the drive to the beach!

It jumped to $3.79 over the weekend here in the San Francisco area. This summer is going to be brutal.

Uh yeah ... same here. $7.50 per gallon gas would pretty much shut us down!
