How much is gasoline in your area?

Paid 2.19 at Bucees on the way to Galveston last night.

Same station was 1.99 only 2 days later. Lowest I have seen it in ages.
 
Royal Farms regular gasoline $2.69 per gallon this morning.
 
Today, gas is $1.99 at our favorite gas stations but $2.05 at King Soopers (Kroger) and with $1.00 off, we paid $1.05.
 
Still same here. There are some gas stations - not many - a few cents less. Most of them are a bit more.
 
Happy New Year! $2.28 at Costco and Sam's, if they're open today. Others are about $2.38.
Across the Ohio in Kentucky, it's closer to $2.20 most places.
 
We are in Corozal Belize and regular gas is now BZ$12.95 / gallon (not sure if they use the Imperial gallon or American here) but that works out to US$6.50/ gallon. We noticed the price of taking the bus from the airport had gone up by $1.00 since we were here last February, I guess that's why. Last winter the gas was a dollar or so cheaper. The bus trip is around 2.5hrs long and costs BZ$11.00 (US$5.50) each, a way cheaper than taking a transfer service, or even taxi, which are now priced between BZ$250. & BZ$300. for the roughly 80 mile trip.

Not cheap enough to offset everything else going through the roof.

I saw gas the other day for $2.079 in Carlisle Ohio.
 
Costco is $2.45 in Orlando. It's $2.89 almost everywhere else in Orlando.

Couldn't agree more. I probably buy about 15-20 gallons of gas a month. The decreased gas prices in the last year is just a drop in the bucket compared to how much everything else has risen.

Beef has gotten so expensive! I still watch for sales. Still, we rarely eat out. Rick doesn't like to go out, so we save a lot of money on food by cooking.

Gas is not a big expensive for us either.

Yes. All this thread is a non sense to me.
An American uses an average of 600 gallons of gas per year to drive on average 14,000 miles per year as per Google Gemini.
So, $1 or $2 more or less per gallon is $600 or $1200 per year.
$600 or $1200 per year is nothing for people on TUG when we look at the number of weeks they own (the OP as example), the number of trips they do per year (air fair, rental car, restaurant, ...), where they go (Hawaii, Disney, ...), the $$$ spend in II/RCI exchange fee, ... Some people here mention sometimes the number of cars they own (often luxury cars), the size of their house, the number of houses they own, where they live (Hawaii, ...), ... People on TUG are not poor and thus I don't understand why they complain about the price of gas.

Not complaining about the price of gas at all. I just find the difference between states interesting.

We take a lot of driving trips, long road trips, Denver to Orlando often, and we have seen prices in South Carolina $1 per gallon lower than Colorado, and the strange thing we noticed in October, our last driving trip, South Carolina was a lot more than home for gas.

Also, when you own a motor home, gas prices are very relevant. We have friends who travel that way, and when gas is over $3.00 per gallon, they stay home. The motor home gets 8 miles per gallon, sometimes 10 MPG, but every 10 miles, $3.00? That's a lot of money. They still don't regret owning it because it's their home away from home.

I encouraged my stepdad to sell his years ago.

Edited to add: We got where we are by pinching pennies all of our lives. Just because we are in a different financial position today, that's not changed one bit. I am still cheap.
 
@youppi - I see very little complaining here. People are interested in how prices vary across the country and even other countries. If that bothers you, a good option is to stop reading the thread.

Generally speaking around $2.25-$2.35 on Milwaukee's northside . . . but Sam's Club by us is $2.18. Costco (about 5 miles north) is also $2.18 this morning.

GEESH! I'm certainly not rich . . . but also not poor. That said, I am able to travel because I am VERY frugal . . . which includes paying attention to what I'm paying for gas, whether at home or while on one of the many road trips I take every year. Last year I logged over 25,000 miles . . . so 1,000 gallons would be roughly an extra $1,000 . . . which in the scheme of financial budgeting here, is a lot of money.

Get over yourself and stop judging others!

It is interesting the gas prices, I tried to find out why CO 87 Octane is so much more then neighbor states, it's mid grade in CO as they allow 85 Octane for regular. I emailed several state offices and got one to reply but still wondering , the EPA never replied in CO but the one office that did reply said that is who determines what is allowed and cost was what I got out of it.

Anyway I have known a few persons with significant amounts of spare $$$$. Ones I've known are big penny pinchers or were , one died. The two others inherited their spare $ in the form of stocks. The one that died inherited land and worked very hard all his life now passed his onto 3 grown 60 something children, I am not sure how they are making use of what they were given.

Two of the ones I know were terribly low tippers in restaurants, the other definitely counted every dime.

We paid $2.72 at the Carson City, NV, Costco this week.
 
2-3 weeks ago we dropped down to the mid to upper $2.60's that lasted not quite 2 weeks and now we re back to $2.99 ish. Maryland in Columbia/Ellicott City area.

My gas & electric bill this month was the real shocker. About a $100 more than this time last year.
 
I paid $2.199 to fill up at a Speedway somewhere in Ohio near Cincinnati. It was more expensive over the border in Kentucky. No idea what it is in Knoxville right now. I did pay $13.99 for the KFC Buffet in Mt Vernon KY for lunch today though.
