What are you paying for gas?

[KyleEl]

I have more details that I can't find right now.

But I'm at my aunt's house today and I passed Wilco-Hess (not the one on Innes) and it was $3.01. Later this week I'm going to where gas is usually even cheaper than it is here--the Raceway had the lowest price I had seen since Katrina, shortly after Obama was elected.

[merr]

We are at $2.95!! It's been slowing going down for weeks now. I hope it keeps going.

[HarleyQuinn]

I think I'm one of the lucky ones. Paying about 2.75 a gallon here. Lowest prices in the country from what I've heard on the news.

[KyleEl]

$3.14 at the former DB, Kangaroo and QM, but up to $3.19 at Wilco-Hess on Innes. I have the details somewhere and will post when I get them, but I know Wilco-Hess was lower.

[mercurytheatre]

$3.24 cash....$3.34 cc at Independoil this morning.

On the way home today....it had dropped by 5¢.

[KyleEl]

At Raceway, $3.19, and it wasn't even the lowest. I paid $3.24 where I get bologna sandwiches I like but didn't get much gas. $3.21 former Texaco.

[ashley]

like $3.20 if im in the city and its like 5 cents cheaper if im at my dads in west va

[KyleEl]

This is insane. $3.29 former Texaco, but $3.45 Wilco-Hess not on Innes, and $3.46 at the Citgo that used to have subs.

[KyleEl]

I'll go ahead and explain the stations now.

Before I got my own computer, for three years I was driving to the nearest public library because the college library, close enough to my house that I can walk there, started limiting my computer time. There was just too much to read on the WB boards.

Going to that library, I passed the DB, which is now a Citgo, and sometimes got gas there. Yesterday gas there was $3.33. That's also what it was at the Kangaroo, the last station I passed before the library and a place I would sometimes get gas, and the QM, which usually matches the Kangaroo so I used to not report it.

I finally saw cheaper gas at Circle K, formerly Accel, which in the pre-Katrina days always had the cheapest gas. That's almost never true now, and I've never reported this station on the thread. I got $40 worth of gas for $3.29 a gallon. Later I passed the Wilco-Hess on Innes, which is usually the cheapest place in the town where I go to the library every two weeks because they subscribe to lots of newspapers. Gas was $3.27 there but $3.35 on the way home. Circle K was $3.35 too. In fact, I saw a lot of stations go up a lot yesterday.

$3.39 cash....$3.43 cc...at independoil.

[HopeNeverDies]

$3.49 a gallon in Indiana.

I thought they quit taking cards.

$3.39 at the former Texaco, the closest station to my house and where I get gas for my lawn mower. I ran out of gas in the can but will use the mower only enough so it will start in the spring. Maybe by then the price will be lower.

[KyleEl]

Yesterday was frustrating. I was getting work done on my car--not a problem, but just annual stuff--and I was close enough to walk to the Citgo where I have been making my own hot dogs at least since 1997. I know I was doing it then because I remember a newspaper photo of them cleaning the place out after a flood. They provide the buns, wieners, slaw, chili and other stuff and you put it together and it's cheaper than other places, plus they taste so good. Gas was $3.43. But even if I had stopped for gas, they couldn't take credit cards. More on the Food Thread.

I didn't stop at the Citgo down the street when I got through walking and having the car worked on because they no longer have subs. Those were delicious and cheaper than anyone else's subs. I wanted some sort of vegetable, and their sandwiches didn't have those. Also $3.43.

Wilco-Hess--not the one on Innes--seems to try to match the Murphy's at Wal-Mart and is therefore nearly always tied for lowest price. It was $3.42 early in the day and $3.39 when I went home.

[KyleEl]

Yesterday, $3.47 Kangaroo, $3.45 QM and Circle K, and $3.39 Wilco-Hess on Innes. I did see prices go down compared to morning but not at any of those places. Actually, I missed seeing Wilco-Hess in the morning.

[mercurytheatre]

Too much.

[KyleEl]

Tuesday, Wilco-Hess not on Innes went down from $3.32 to $3.31. The Citgo which once had subs was $3.38.

Yesterday, I saw prices ranging from $3.39 to $3.47. At one place where I cross the interstate, prices are lower than everywhere else. At the place I crossed the interstate yesterday, everyone was $3.46 or $3.47.

I don't know what the full-service price was at the Exxon. It was $3.44 or $3.45 for self-service but I want them to check my tires and under the hood and I buy $10 worth.

[KyleEl]

$3.43 former Texaco.

I should mention that several weeks ago, places at the beach were below $3. In South Carolina prices are supposed to be lower due to lower gas taxes, and yet that Wilco-Hess was lower than they were.

Now the lowest prices at the beach tend to be around $3.14 or so.

[KyleEl]

The prices at the beach are down a few cents.

Former DB, $3.44 in the morning and $3.39 in the afternoon.

Kangaroo, $3.44. QM and Circle K, $3.39.

But Wilco-Hess on Innes was $3.29. I estimated I could get $20 and I was right. In the past I've never just been able to fill up, but had to say how much. Just down the street at the interstate, $3.39.

[KyleEl]

$3.39 former Texaco, $3.38 at the Citgo that used to have subs, $3.37 Wilco-Hess not on Innes.

[mercurytheatre]

$3.19 cash...$3.29 cc....at Independoil.

I had White Castle for breakfast yesterday....so i am REALLY paying for gas.

[KyleEl]

$3.39 RaceWay. $3.59 just down the street, across the street from another place that was $3.39. How does that place stay in business?

I noticed the cheapest places at the beach are about 10 cents higher than last week.

[KyleEl]

The cheapest gas at the beach is once again where it was earlier.

Where I went yesterday, one place was $3.49 but everyone else was between $3.53 and $3.56. At the interstate, at least they weren't the highest. My Exxon was $3.56 but I get full-service, which is more. Some places appeared higher when I went home than in the morning.

[KyleEl]

$3.55 former Texaco and the Citgo that had the subs.

$3.54 Wilco-Hess not on Innes in the morning but it was down to $3.52 in the afternoon. I don't know whether that's a positive sign or not.

[KyleEl]

The prices at the beach are now 20 cents higher. What I didn't notice when they went back to what they were was that the dates were two weeks old. Now the dates are recent.

$3.53 former DB, $3.52 Kangaroo, $3.51 QM and Circle K.

Seeing a front-page headline in The Charlotte Observer when I stopped at the hospital, where you can put in money and take out a paper at the main entrance, which said $4 a gallon gas was coming, I decided not to expect the price to go back down, and Wilco-Hess on Innes was down from $3.49 to $3.47 in the afternoon, so I got $30 worth and that still didn't fill it up.

[KyleEl]

Yesterday I saw prices ranging from $3.49 at a brand new Shell to $3.64 along the interstate. Exxon was $3.59.

[KyleEl]

$3.61 former Texaco.

[KyleEl]

The good news: $3.57 former Texaco. Also $3.55 at the Citgo that used to have subs.

The bad news: $3.59 Wilco-Hess not on Innes, $3.60 at Citgo with the hot dogs. I got hot dogs but no gas.

The even worse news: $3.53 at the new Shell but $3.65 Exxon and $3.67 by the interstate.

[KyleEl]

$3.65 former Texaco.

[mercurytheatre]

$3.45 cash...$3.55 cc....at Independoil.

[AntiArbitrator]

$3.47 for regular at neighborhood Exxon and $3.67 at Exxon near the highway.
