In my town gas has dropped 10 - 15 cents in the last 2 or 3 weeks... how is it around the rest of the country?

Gas prices going down?
- Thread starter beaglesandbass

I saw a couple stations that were 10 cents cheaper($2.31) but I'm still seeing a number of $2.41-$2.49/gallon
Eitherway, as much as it is a drag and a hole in your wallet, I'm an advocate of higher gas prices, the higher prices are, the more people will look towards buying more fuel efficient cars and the more people will realize the value of oil as a finite resource.

California is usually 20-40 cents higher than the rest of the country, particularly SoCal.
Gas prices in the Atlanta area have dropped anywhere from 15 to 25 cents a gallon in the last week or so, depending on where you go. At the filling station nearest to my house, prices peaked at $1.98 a gallon for regular, and now it's $1.75.
Down to 1.85 where I got it today just outside of detroit. It was down below 2 for a couple weeks, and just now dropped about another 10 cents.
In our location, Northern Iowa, We're seeing prices drop to between $1.72 - $1.82, depending on location and octane. We were seeing prices several weeks ago at around $1.97 - $1.99. One station I stopped at was selling for $2.05.
Peaked two weeks ago at $2.19, it was down to $1.84 today. However, when I got home from my day trip to Chicago, I saw that it was $1.95 or so again. Here's hoping they go down again.
It's $1.89 here. Illinois, on the River. What happens, is prices go up for holidays, summer, etc. But when they drop, they stay higher than before. Good thing I get 32 mpg.
I've got $1.69 all around here.
The Priuses are very cool little cars. My friends family has one, and he gets to drive it all the time. It averages about ~100MPG on the highway, and around 60 MPG in the city... There's 10 fuel bars on the gas guage, and we put $5 into it, and it raised up 3 bars. These cars go forever. They are so quiet and nice. One thing is that they are sort of slow, but it really makes up for it in fuel effiency. I don't really like the "futurustic" looks-I much prefer the Civic Hybrid. Looks like a normal car. I really dig that.

Filled my truck up this morning....still $2.85/gallon. It's taking close to $40 to fill my truck up from between 1/2 and 1/4 tank.
It's gone down about a nickel here but it's still 40 cents higher than last year. This is just a tiny hint of things to come though. Link Removed
