Gas price's are the mercy of the state and federal, here in NC I buy gas at that days rate, and time of order,
The oil company/jobber adds there mark up ranging from 0.01¢ to 0.05¢
Then the following is added FEDERAL GAS TAX 18.4%, STATE GAS TAX (whatever %), STATE INSPECTION FEE (whatever %), ENVIRONMENTAL FEE $5.95.

Then the rest is on the gas station on how much they charge, depending on local market,

The best prices are still around $2.029 -$2.049 , though some are up to around $2.089 -$2.099 , I saw a BP at $1.969 , two days ago.

Prices in the swamp have been dropping steadily for the last week.
$1.979 at several 7/11's now with nearly all local stations under 2 bucks - very handy when one's gas guzzler has a bit of a timing issue (thanks to the 'special' tools muggins timed it with rather than forking out for the required 'special' tools! ) and is currently returning 9mpg. Ouch!!!

They have slowly been going down a bit. 1.04 CAD per liter.

3.95 CAD or so per gallon US.

MidAtlantic

Same here, going down for the last week. My best right now is $2.04.

It was $1.94 yesterday and $2.14 this morning, so that was nice.

Cumbies discount got it for $1.94G which was fab. Much better than the other places.

Beaverstate

Steady $2.49 here, has not changed much in a year. The price we pay for having zero refineries in state.

Bob

That cumbies went down to $1.88 G with their discount card. They're about 6-16c cheaper than the places around the block.

I paid $1.939 at a BP yesterday. ...

Darn it. Paid 1.99 yesterday.

That's not bad as there aren't many stations here selling below $2 at the moment. After almost 14 years here I just know which ones are invariably the lowest in each town, then keep an eye on each one as I get towards emptying the tank.

Different towns seem to take it in turns to be cheapest, and there can be a 5-10¢ difference for several weeks or months, then the prices flip, with another town taking a turn at being 5-10¢ cheaper. I have never noticed any particular pattern, except that the "tradition" of marking the price up before major public holidays no longer seems to apply.

US still seems to have gas stations who compete a bit, I notice that each time I cross the border, can have 4 stations on the same block and they will all be slightly different prices, sometimes 20-30 cents or more difference.

Here they all charge the same and they all lower and raise the price together.

That varies from place to place - at least two towns near me seem to have most gas stations, across multiple brands, owned by one company, so needless to say the prices are pretty much flat, usually literally just 1¢ difference for most stations whether they're selling BP, Shell, Exxon, Citgo, Marathon/Hess, Texaco, or one or two lesser brands.
