It was $3.99 here at the peak, now $3.46 (at least 3 stations, for the past 2-3 days). I'm still seeing some wild variation, though. A couple weeks ago, I saw $3.59 - $3.91 on the same day. Today, I've seen $3.46 - $3.69.

From 4.11 to $3.49! Hopefully still dropping (that is the cheapest gas station near me).

In CA it hit $5.00 a gallon in some parts. I think in my city the highest I saw was $4.79. Now it's down to $3.89. So yeah, it's dropped a lot.

My dh jokes that the higher prices were all just a ploy to fool us into thinking that anything under $4.00 a gallon was a great deal. :tongue_smilie:

Gas prices are not dropping here. It's been sitting between $4.17 and $4.40 for regular. The pundits say it takes longer for our wholesale prices to drop than it takes on the mainland.

btw, for those who are not aware of it, here is a great site for finding the lowest gas prices in your area:

We hit a peak of $3.99, and just today it was $3.55 -- but when I went shopping Monday it was $3.40 in that little town! I would have felt like I hit the jackpot, but it took me two gallons of gas to get there -- LOL!

The peak was 4.50ish. The cheapest I have seen it around here lately is $3.55.

We are down to $3.36, but prices are expected to start climbing again due to "Gustav". Dh is topping off the cars now!

Gas at the corner store today here was $3.51. It had gone up to 3.99 there. It still seems high to me. I really want it under $2 but I doubt that will ever happen again.

We were $4.22 at the highest now we are $3.69- though all the surrounding towns are $3.50:glare:

DH said prices are due to climb quite a bit overnight due to Gustav. South Alabama here.

Haven't seen a huge drop at all. It was 3:85 today at Costco.
Michigan usually has some of the highest prices tho. National average is always lower than what we are paying.

It was like $3.97 at the peak and Monday's lows (I haven't been out since) were $3.31.

We were as high as $4.39, and now we're at about $3.59. I hate being excited about that!

I paid $3.49 yesterday. A few months ago, it was over $4.00.

Probably because of the hurricane. I probably should have filled up yesterday. I haven't been out today, so I don't know whether it's jumped up or not.

I'm so sorry to hear that it hasn't dropped in some states.
