We just filled the car up with gas this morning and I was surprised at the price. $2.55 a gallon! Whoa Nelly, that seems LOW. How much are you paying for gasoline in your neck of the woods these days?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I live in Ontario Canada and we are paying $1.239 per LITRE (1 US Gallon=3.78L) so, to make it easy math 4x 1.25=$5 CAN convert that to the current rate of exchange $3.80 US! When we head over to the US we always fill up before coming home! lol
Nora says
Thanks for doing the gallon-maths …
Sums up to around 5,86€ Per Gallen in Germany.
Nora says
Sorry – should read 5,86 US$ per gallon.

Brenda says
$2.55/gal in Kalamazoo, Michigan. That’s lower than it was a few weeks ago…

Margo says
$3.43 a few miles away in Spring Valley
Laura says
$3.35 at Costco. I’m in San Diego too.
Dianna says
Rachel – yes I’m paying almost $4 a gallon. CA drivers pay the most in the country due to all of our taxes, one of which just got added 🙁
Julia says
$3.80 to $3.90 in Sonoma COunty (Wine Country), CA. California pays a higher rate year-round because we have more environmental restrictions than, say, the Deep South, so they tell us; and in summer, we use the “summer blend” of gas which is even more expensive. The offset is that we have cleaner air, water, etc. Gas tax also pays for roads, etc. It blows my mind to hear of such cheap gas as $2 and thereabouts. Do you notice more pollution or fewer restrictions in your areas? Curious if what we are told is true.
Tamara says
Gas tax pays for roads in NC. In the Piedmont of NC gas is around $2.49 and our air and water are clean. Y’all are being sold a bill of goods in sunny CA!
Cheryl says
You people in the south have no idea of high gas prices. I live in Western PA and our gas is $2.99. If we have fuel perks it helps a lot.
Kristen says
Around $2.67 in Cleveland, OH right now.
wil says
in the Nederlands it is now between 1,66 and 1.77 euro per litre
Janet says
Filled up car last night for $3.29 gallon in Edgewood, WA (near Puyallup/Tacoma).
Jennifer says
In San Francisco area, $3.99 for regular unleaded. But we have at least 60 cents more gas tax, maybe $1 more (?), than the rest of the US.
Mavis Butterfield says
WOW!
Julia says
Yes, just said this!
Deborah says
A gallon of gas costs us $2.48.9 per gallon. And I live in Texas and close to oil towns. In fact there is an Exon-mobile plant close to the town I live in.
Elise in the SF Bay Area says
The lowest price around here is an Arco near my office. I use my debit card, and that adds 35 cents per tank, but that comes to 2-3 cents per gallon, so it’s still less (and faster than going in to pay cash).
Yesterday it was 3.39/gallon (before the 35-cent debit card fee), but the pumping system was BROKEN 🙁 I’m going to try again this morning (low-gas light is now ON), fingers crossed, because all other gas in that area is 50-60 cents more…
Tracy says
$2.87 a gallon in Canby, Oregon
Robin says
I’m just excited to see someone else from tiny Canby reads this blog! #fredmeyerson99forthewin
Pamela says
Up until a few days ago the highest price I saw on my way to work was $2.96 per gallon. This was almost 20 cents a gallon higher than the others I saw. Right before the weekend it dropped to $2.90. Of course I didn’t get my gas there. I paid $2.78 my last fill up. This is in South Jersey.
Carrie says
It is $2.43 at Costco in NC.
tia in boise says
It’s been about $3.05 all summer, here in Boise. But the past 2 weeks has been $2.95.
Ca says
$3.89 for premium in Northern California (that’s at the cheap place).
Kayla says
Yep. It is $3.59 in Northern CA for unleaded. I’m jealous of everyone complaining of anything under $3/gallon.
jilly says
Had a good laugh about asking if $2.55 was a low price. Here in taxland CA that is a price in our dreams. We are all over the place with gas prices depending on the station. Arco has a low of $3.39 (three stations…all different prices) to 76 which thinks asking $4.15 for the cheap stuff is OK. Their premium at times has been well over $5.00.
I am in Yucaipa which lets see…Big Bear Mountain is only 40 mins away and Wrightwood is in the distance for those that ski. We are not near Disneyland nor are we in LA thank goodness. But hey, I can look out and see the mountain range that the San Andreas fault line runs along.
By the way Mavis, we bought a home last September that needs a lot of yard work (front yard, back yard, back20, and an easement we are responsible to clean up as per the Fire Dept. So, right now I understand about the weeds. Darn things are everywhere. Get done with one section and then the last section we did has more.
blessings, jilly

Jennifer Bouknight says
Here in the mountains of NC, it’s $2.49, but in our former hometown 90 miles south of here, it was $2.41. NOTE: Murphy (WM) has all with a rewards program. It’s not much, but I average 10¢ off every other tank, plus discounts on drinks and candy.
Jamie says
closer to 2.99 / gallon in northern illinois. the state who just added yet another gas tax……
Vanessa in Puyallup WA says
$3.55 in Puyallup, WA but was $.15-$.20 cheaper per gallon in Pullman, WA (Eastern WA). The State is raising our taxes again, they say it will add another $.70 – $1.00 per gallon! Tuning up my bicycle today! 🙂
