I'll save ya some trouble... the least expensive gas prices are usually in Oklahoma City, the further you get from O.C. the more you pay. I couldn't tell ya what exactly they are right this moment but O.C. is generally the least expensive.

You knew there HAD to be some reason to live there! :lol:

In Canada it where they sell it by the liter it works out to something like $4.50 U.S. per gallon, Canadians feel free to chime in with up-to-the-minute price updates. Betcha feel better about $3.08 now, eh?

In Hastings Nebraska the prices jumped yesterday to 2.89 to ha high of 2.98 at one station.

In SW CT it seems to be around $2.85 at the moment. Eastern CT seems to be about 5 cents cheaper. (that was three days ago - still have a 1/2 tank left so haven't filled up lately).
Two weeks ago it was around $2.70 but while visiting a bug event in NJ found it there at $2.42

There's no rhyme or reason to these prices. I've given up trying to figure out what the pattern is.

Correction: went out during lunch and it is around $3 now.

San Diego... the highest one I saw yesterday was $3.95 for premium...

It's also illegal to pump your own in New Jersey. Gas is cheap in Jersey especially along the top of I-95 'cuz the refineries are right there. Probably the same deal in Missouri.

Mid grade is cheaper than regular in Iowa because there's a big shot of alcohol in it, the state give 'em a tax break on it. It was last time I was through there, anyway.

$1.15/ litre here in New Brunswick, Canada. Makes me glad I'm driving a Diesel Jetta (even though Diesel is up to $1.09/ litre).

$1.15CAN = $1.01US
1US Gallon = 3.7843 liters
therefore:
approximately $3.82 per gallon.

I just filled up my truck yesterday here in Caldwell, ID and it was $2.479/gallon.

BTW, you can get gas prices across the US and Canada at

Cause they don't have a huge road tax on gas like we do here in Kansas. Missourri roads pretty much suck wherever you go.
