Its interesting to note the last two days going across Nevada and California that gas prices in both these states is way less than in Utah. Normally its the other way round. In the LA area the cheapest I've found is 2.749 a gallon... Nevada is a little higher but not much. Utah is still around 2.899 per gallon.

Well that's the worst spelling of "definitely" I've ever seen. Why does the world have such trouble with that word?

Gas here = $2.99 since the end of June.

Just filled up my tank at a Union 76 here in Waipahu for $3.30 a gallon for the medium grade yesterday. Hawaii right now has the highest price for gas in the country

Gas prices are FINALLY falling around here. For more than a month 87 octane fuel has been up over $3.00 per gallon. The price peaked at over $3.20 in early July. It fell to $2.99 a few days ago and now rests at $2.89. Some other areas in Oklahoma are selling gas for 20 cents cheaper.

Sorry Mike, I must not have re-read it before hitting the "Add Reply". But I do agree, its one the most mis-spelled words.

Mozilla Firefox has a built in spell checker. It doesn't catch everything, but will underline anything you type in red it doesn't understand. Just right-click and select the proper spelling.

That figures.

Just about any time I or any local friends head to the Oklahoma City area we usually observe gas prices being at least 10 cents lower than prices in Lawton. It's rare for OKC area prices to be the same or higher. Lately the difference has been 20 cents. And I don't understand that considering the latest excuse for price gouging was the flooding and shut down of the gasoline refinery in Southeast Kansas.

I saw gas today for $2.65/gal. It's been up near $2.90 since Spring but recently began to decline. Gas was $2.62/gal. in Richmond, VA when I was there in late June, so it's probably cheaper now.

With these prices, I noticed that most gas pumps have a $75 limit, where it will just shut off when it reaches that amount. Of course, my truck takes about $78 to completely fill the tank, and I'm not going cycle my credit card again. No real hardship, but it one of those things that bugs you.

The cheap stuff is around 2.67 at the Arco on one corner here, and about 10 cents more at the surrounding stations. I've found in various spots around Phoenix and Mesa as cheap as 2.60. What's really odd is that oil has supposedly risen to it's highest cost, but yet the cost of gas keeps dropping bit by bit. What gives? Does it show that the panic mark ups of $3+ a gallon some months back (when oil was the same or slightly lower than it is now) were total BS (thank you, you speculators!)? Or are there other forces at work to keep gas costs dropping down?

$2.65 here in Louisville according to "LouisvilleGasPrices.com.

You know you are abused when you FEEL GOOD about paying more than $1.75/gallon.

(Discover pays 6% cash back on gas for new sign ups; not too bad when this nets you almost 14 cent on each gallon.)

John to ease your pain, send your credit card to me and I promise to only use it once each day. This will make you feel better and once a month I will send you a stick of gum.

Let me know what you like?

Louis, I will be happy to offer you the same deal.
