I went out for a "coffee run" this morning. The cheapie station is now selling gas at $2.93 a gallon. There are three stations on that corner, a Sunoco station and a Mobil station. I didn't catch the price at the Mobil station, but the Sunoco beat the cheapie gas. They're having a bit of a gas war, and Sunoco is $2.89! WooHoo! Most local stations have cut their prices too, but they'll start going up for the holiday in a couple weeks.

When I got gas earlier in the week I paid $3.44 p/gal but they've already gone up to $3.69 now and some stations are $3.89.
Don't know what's driving it, but prices continue to go down around here. The cheapie station had lowered their prices this morning to $2.83 a gallon. Too bad my car only has a 15-gallon tank.
$5.15/gal. for premium in LA County (Calif.).
Ouch.
You're telling me! And we drive over 43 potholes on the way to the gas station.

I paid $3.29 p/gallon yesterday and the gas station was crowded
I can imagine. What state are you in?
I saw regular for $2.92 a gallon this morning, I don't know how much premium is. It has been a while since it was below $3 a gallon.
It's $3.05 for regular at the Casey's near Walmart tonight. $3.60 for premium.
Gas went way down for Christmas ($2.83 a gallon at the cheapie store near me/$2.89 elsewhere), but went up a bit for New Year's. I got some yesterday for $2.99 at the local Marathon station.

When I lived in the city I always took public transportation since our city has a great metra system. Fortunately I did not have a long drive to work but I know some people car pool to help save on gas prices.
That's not viable alternatives for people in big cities, where they will be violently assaulted on public transportation. And where people have to work 12 hour days to pay taxes, and have to run their personal errands, doctor appointments, child issues, checking on elderly residents, etc. on their lunch/dinner breaks, because there is no time before and after work, so they need their personal car to do those things.

Actually Chicago is a big city. Yes, the crime rate has risen but I still go into the city although not for work anymore and I still take public transit. When I lived and worked in the city full-time I did personal errands on my days off.
Back to the subject of gas prices, $3.34 p/gal today.
That's great to hear about Chicago! Unfortunately, L.A. is not as blessed as that. The treatment of women, children, and the elderly here is despicable . And that would be so helpful to be able to do the personal errands only on those rare days off. And $3.34 for gas is awesome! Wow. $5.15/gal is horrific for the working class. I hope L.A. takes a page out of your Chicago play book.

Two months later, our prices are pretty much the same as in my first post
Gasoline/Petrol is 1.70 €/l (7.30 US$/gal) - (£6.43/UKgal)
Diesel is 1.60 €/l (6.87 US$/gal) - (£6.05/UKgal)
Gasoline/Petrol is 1.70 €/l (7.30 US$/gal) - (£6.43/UKgal)

Here, gas has gone back up to about where it was in the fall here, as well. This morning I got gas at $2.97 per gallon. I think the cheapie station is a bit lower, but I haven't been by that intersection for several days.
I guess I shouldn't complain about fuel prices when I see that Italians are paying $7.65 per gallon. Currently I'm paying about $3.94 for 91 octane, Premium Fuel.
