That's the low end in my neighborhood. One of the stations that has that now, was at $2.86 Thursday morning (the first time I saw it coming back from vacation). The high end here is $3.33.

Austin update.

Gas rose 16 cents from yesterday according to the stations near where I live.

The price as of tonight for unleaded regular is $2.85.

I've heard from friends and family that Houston had gas around $2.98 as of yesterday, but I don't know how much it has risen since then.

Nashville update: $3.29 a gallon for Regular.

Chevron update: $2.99 9/10 as of today (Sep 3)

I originally referred to today as September 2 in this post... am I really that out of it that I can't even remember what DAY it is?!?!?

Right now... in Westwood, where UCLA is located

Someone posted $3.95/$3.95/$3.95 about 11 AM at the same gas station I've been checking all week. (Previous spot check: $3.15, Thursday 10 PM).

I thought that not only scary but also possibly incorrect, as the PUMP prices read $3.29/$3.39/$3.49. Indeed, when I came back at 2 PM those were the posted prices. I was glad to see the change as I was inclined to bust them for price gouging.

I would not be surprised to see $3.50 gas, but $4 is far enough above market to zap them here in Boston.

Same Chevron update for 9/4/05:
$3 05 9/10 (a six cent increase)

Phoenix gas averages continue to increase, to 3.16 today, with a range of 2.80-3.49. In Tempe the range is 2.93-3.21, citywide.

Gas averages in Minneapolis have actually gone down considerably in the past two days. The average now is 2.82, with a range of 2.74-3.29. In Hastings (the "cheap" gas in my area) the going rate is 2.79. I don't know for sure, but Prescott, WI is probably about 2.95 or so, because gas is usually about 15 cents more than in Hastings. This varies, however, so I can't be sure.

Well, looks likes the prices in Austin have remained stable. No changes to report. This could probably be the worst it can get since the refineries affected by Katrina are slowly coming back online one by one, but I could be speaking a little soon for that pending some other event.

As for the 5th:
UNCHANGED

Well, premium gas at the nearest station to my house is holding steady at $2.96/gallon after my return from California this afternoon. In Sacramento it's a bit steeper... $3.21. But at Weed, California (gotta love the name of that town!), about 50 miles south of the Oregon border, I paid a whopping $3.55 for a gallon of petrol.

Lansing has stabilized to a range of 2.96-3.19 after Governor Granholm reamed out the head of Marathon Oil. Apparently Michigan saw the highest increase in the nation (36.1 cents per gallon), and Granholm said "It is unacceptable that just because we're at the end of the pipeline that Michigan has to pay so much more."

I don't know if I agree with her this time. Yes, it's in my best interest to get gas at least at the same rate other states do, but perhaps it's time to face the reality that when things come from far away, there's gonna be a cost associated with the distance they travel....

In Nashville, the price has dropped all the way to $3.19 per gallon for Regular. :?

Here in low-tax Virginia I just paid $3.399 for Premium and Regular was $3.199. With very nearly the lowest gas tax in the nation, that's gouging, pure and simple.

Now it's $2.99.

I read that gas in the DC area is now the highest in the nation. Gas for the last few days in my neck of the woods is in the low $3s -- $3.19, $3.29, $3.39, for regular unleaded. No movement up since Sunday. But no movement down either.

The latest posted price for regular is 3.099 here in the Duke City

QCA Illinois\Iowa

August 31st: $ 2.89

Looks like the cost of victimhood, um, servility, is going up... :oops:

QCA Suddern Ohio

September 8th: $ 2.89

... er, well, I guess, now, it's coming back down again...

• Yippee!

I guess.

Guess what?

Still unchanged (as of the 6th - and 7th)!

Local Citgo is down to $3.059.

As of today, 9/08, I'm seeing a range of $2.89-$3.04 for regular, self-serve, unleaded here in Silicon Valley. My neighborhood station has been at $2.97 for several days now.

Northern Minneapolis suburbs have been sitting on $2.79.9 since the weekend, with a scattered $2.78 around. Costco is selling at $2.74, however. On the other hand, stations within the City of Minneapolis tend to run higher - I saw a $2.82 and a $2.86 this afternoon.

I passed a Chevron station on one of the city roads leading to the airport with a gas price of $2.909
