Here in TN the BP near the hotel is selling below $3.409 (update to follow).

Note, the BP stations in NC price to match other brands, even the discount ones like Marathon and Citgo. The BP just outside the nearest BJ's is sometimes selling below the BJ's price.
Gas in the Smokey Mountains, TN, near the interstate, hotel and into town, was mostly $3.279- $3.329. The Mobil () by the interstate was$3.269, which is what I filled up with today. Some discount brands and Kroger were as cheap as$3.159 - $3.189.

Its been on the rise here in British Columbia for the past 3 months, we have hit the 1.50 per liter (approx 5.70 CAD per gallon, or 5.25 per gallon.) and no sign of prices coming down anytime soon.

We have the 3 gas brands in town, Shell, Petro Canada, and Chevron, and they all match one another price wise, and 1 independent who matches the main brands.

Phah....

Cheapest of the cheapest is Safeway (and cash only) at 4.03 and 4.15 at Valero around the corner from me! That said, I saw even more at SF the other day!

3.18? Damn and blast.

Creeping up here daily. 3 cent increase today to $3.80 and that is at the cheapest one in town. Anything up to $3.91 at the others.

Generally, it's dropped 5-6 cents this week and is around $3.45 in most places.

Walmart was $3.36 pn Wednesday and, using their credit card, I get 15 cents off a gallon, making it $3.21.

The 15 cent promo is running through September and makes a big difference. If I fill up near work, it's around $3.56, so in effect, I'm saving 35 cents per gallon or close to $7 on a full tank fill up.

Around $3.36 to $3.50 but I know it will go up during the 4th July and holiday season. The ongoing problems in the middle east also dont help the gas prices. I rather just get a electric car but it just not worth it

Presumably you also "knew" that prices were going to go up ahead of the Memorial Day weekend? They didn't, they fell by several cents (round here at least, where Memorial Day is a pretty big deal, as is one of the US's largest sporting events which takes place near here over that weekend) ahead of the weekend, and still hasn't gone back up.

Prices here are still falling even as July 4th arrived. On Thursday (7/3) I needed gas for my truck and paid $3.399 for BP gas (matching the prices at the Shell and Citgo stations,nearby) but when I returned the next day to fuel the Accord the price was down to $3.379 at the same station.

It would almost be cheaper to have you send over Mrs. H to wheel me around.
