You live in the Quad Cities?!? Did I know that? I must've forgot.

Anyway, tonight, typical Silicon Valley prices range from $2.85 to $2.91 for self-serve regular unleaded.

O GWN!

It was above $3.30 in Virginia, MN and $3.35 in Superior, WI. Our gas is refined locally and the feedstock comes from the Great White North.

Lynchburg, Virginia

When I filled up on 8/28 on my way down to my conference in Greensboro, NC, regular unleaded was $2.35 a gallon. Returning on 8/31, gas ranged from $2.75 to $2.99 a gallon.

Last week, gas in Northern Virginia ranged from $2.71 a gallon up (regular unleaded). I haven't noticed what it is today (I didn't pass a gas station on the way to work).

Albuquerque (Chevron station)

$2.859 for regular. $3.059 for premium, at a Chevron station in an obscure area.

A few days ago it was that and the local Circle K still sold it for $2.619, but I was in a hurry and did not stop. Sigh.

Gas was $2.99 yesterday morning. I was only half down, but I topped off the tank anyway. By the time I went home, it was $3.29. It remains $3.29 as of this afternoon.

Gas at the corner stations closest to my home were $2.97 a gallon at around 3:30 pm today.

Update:

As of 9/2/05, noonish, prices were up to $3.17 a gallon at the same stations. Other nearby stations ranged from $2.99 to $3.57!

Will Collier, the Vodkapundit, gives us an overview of the gas in Georgia. One of his readers has this to say about the extent of the problem:

The BP and Citgo terminals in Doraville, GA are out. Not allocated. Out. The Colonial pipeline is down and will be until tonight. They're flying a generator in tonight and will have one of the pipelines operating sometime tonight. The other one won't be operating for a couple of days. The problem is that it takes between 8 to 21 days to get the fuel up the pipeline. Now the good news (if you want to call it that) is that there's fuel available. But it won't be cheap for the terminals or the state.

This is really a geographically controlled problem. Everybody west of the Mississippi is fine. Everybody north of Tennessee and North Carolina are fine. It's just the Southeast. Most of our fuel comes out of New Orleans and now we're going to have to get it from other places. Those other places are further away than New Orleans and that distance costs money. Diesel fuel is getting hit more than gasoline. So my earlier statement about the terminals being out was meant for the diesel fuel. For obvious political purposes, there won't be a gasoline shortage. The truckers and machine operators on the other hand...
As for Austin, TX gas at the regular unleaded sort currently costs $2.69, which is an increase of 10 cents since yesterday. I guess Texas with its capabilities and resources can weather it out better, but we'll see if it remains that way.

We have high gas taxes in Wisconsin. We also have pretty good roads. :wink:

One station that was $3.29 yesterday was down to $3.25 this morning. Nobody's gone above $3.3099 that I've seen so far.

I just paid $4.00 at our Marina - I only bought 10 gallons which might last the rest of the season (the guy who runs the marina - a neighbor & friend - paid $3.80 for it this afternoon. He only bought 200 gallons and when that's gone, he's done). If it doesn't, I am hauling up gas in 2 1/2 gallon cans. You could still get ethanol here yesterday for $2.99, but I saw it as high as $3.29.
