Some parts of Texas no drop some parts 2-4 cents. It just depends on the wholesaler who sets prices in the different areas.

I think we would all be happy if stayed at 1.99. 1.50 would be better again but...

Reg is $2.57-$2.63 avg in the mtn tourist & resort towns in northern NH. Diesel is $2.56-2.59 avg. A most respectable price during the July 4th w/e!

How much is gas in your area?!

I was pleased to see the gas prices went down a few cents today instead of going up for the 4th of July Holiday, $2.71 to $2.69 here in Maine.
