So with the constant drop of gas in the U.S., whats the lowest price in your hometown *or* area that you''ve seen for regular, super/ultra and diesel?

Lowerst regular price i''ve seen here in Bergen County,NJ is $1.81 at some no name gas station. Lowest super/ulra 93 is $1.99 it might even be cheaper today, prices were beeing changed around towns last night. Cheapest diesel price i''ve seen is $2.95.


My truck takes 93 octane since I have a custom computer tune. It cost me the other day only $45 to fill up from near empty. I nearly hugged the gas station guy. Thats the lowest it cost me in honestly at least 2+ years. Highest was close to $90 at gas' highest in the summer. Kinda makes me want to go out and do more photography.

Just paid $1.669 for gas yesterday! Big difference -- $21.50 vs $52 a couple of months ago! Go to gasbuddy.com and type in my zip code: 44281. We've got some pretty cheap gas (for a change) in NE Ohio right now.

The one thing about gas prices though is that so many local taxing authorities use gas as a revenue generating opportunity. I live near two different county boarders. In one they tax the crap out of gas and it is always 25 or so cents higher than in the county I live. However just west of us they tax less and are always 5~10 cents cheaper. So with taxes thrown in it's hard to know what gas really costs.

Lowest it's been in 4 years but still not good. There is approximately 4 litres per gallon so that would be $3.55/gallon
