Last week the local news station reported that gas prices should be going down in the next couple of weeks.  They reported prices near $2.70 per gallon.  Well, it didn’t!!  Yesterday it jumped up to $3.05, and will probably be at $3.50 by Christmas time.  I know that Minnesota is usually .20 cents cheaper then Wisconsin, but what do YOU pay for fuel??  I’m talking regular 87 octane gasoline.

Al.

Oh, I forgot to add this one;  if anyone ever visits this area, I’ll save you some money.  DON’T BUY GAS IN EAU CLAIRE WISCONSIN!!  It’s usually 5 to sometimes 10 cents cheaper down the road!!!

I also thank you folks that are quoting prices from outside our borders, nice to compare how well we have it here compared to other places around this big marble that we call earth.

Yes coolsmiley, unfortunately California is as part of the United States tickedoff. I wish it was not then I could justify to my wife why we have to leave California cause I won't take or consider raising my kids outside of the U.S. borders for personal safety reasons (real Evil or imagined crazy2) and don't have a passport either.

I only buy NON-ETHANOL. I use it in everything, SUV, truck, bike, even the lawn mower. $3.40 per gallon. Many, many,  reasons I'm more than willing to pay that price. The added fuel milage also pays for itself.  Wink

$2.799 for Regular (87 octane ) at the closest 7-11 here in Frisco, just north of Dallas.  They are usually a couple of cents lower than others and that's still up 18 cents over the last month or so.

Near me in southern NJ it is:
$ 2.83 for  87 octane
add @ $ .10 for  better stuff and another $ .10 for the best they have.
All have  10% ethanol.

In NJ,  customers are not allowed to pump their own gas into cars and trucks..  we have to stay warm, toasty and dry in the car while someone pumps it for you.  However,  when on a bike,  they let you pump it yourself...   never really understood why...  Are those that ride motorcycles proven to be smarter than the rest of the motoring public?  This all works fine for me....  besides,  if someone is going to spill gas all over my baby's tank,  it might as well be me.

Prices range anywhere from $2.56/gal up to $2.97.  The lowest price range station is ALWAYS full and it is hard to get fuel there.

2.89 here around D.C . However Mama went to Giant food and I found out we had .80 cents off 33 gallons of gas. I pulled the old boat up and enjoyed the first 33 gallons at 2.09.  All our gas around here has enthanol in it.
