Whoa, sub-$2 gas

There's a station near where I live with crazy gas prices: View media item 250252
What kind of prices are you seeing? If outside the U.S, how does this compare to the average in your area, or national average?

here in NY, cheapest gas I've seen so far is $2.69. it was almost $4 a few months ago

2.33.  Hour east of us it is 2.25.

We've been seeing gas prices hovering around $1.30-$1.40 per litre for the past.. year, maybe? I can't remember the last time I saw prices under $1/L here, but it was either shortly after I graduated or while I was still in university because I always said "I'll wait till gas is under $1 again before I fill up". Had I lived by that, I'd have been walking everywhere. For the first time since then, we're seeing under $1/L even in big cities like Ottawa and Toronto now! Insane!

I put gas in the Tucson yesterday morning and it was $2.67 per gallon here. I doubt we will ever get below $2.00 because our illustrious governor saw fit to increase our gas tax yet again earlier this year. I think PA is #5 in gas taxes, but I could be wrong.

Same in NJ.  I think it's been just under $2.80 or so.  Honestly I don't pay too much attention to the price. I need it, I have to buy it regardless.  Luckily, I don't drive all that much.  My daily routine consists of going back and forth to the train station, all of a total of a mile if that.  Weekends, are mostly local shopping, errands, what have you.  A tank lasts me usually 2 months plus or minus depending on how much I use the car.

It was €1.13 ($1.38) per liter yesterday (so $5.24 per gallon), down from around €1.40 ($1.72) per liter just a few weeks ago. Heating oil prices are down, too.

It was $2.19 at the Casey's I filled up on Tuesday. But that's small town prices. . .Sioux Falls probably has it under $2 at some stations by now.

   Prices around the same here.  A tank lasts me at least a month so honestly I don't pay that much attention to the day to day price fluctuations.

A tank of gas usually lasts me a week! Maybe! 

It's about 92 cents a litre here and in the city it's as low as 89 cents. I'm not sure how that compares to gallons.

Here in the UK its £1.21 ( $1.89 ) per litre. £5.52 ( $8.62 ) per gallon - and that's cheapest it's been in about 4 years

Last time I filled was just before Thanksgiving, and I still have about 100 miles before it's empty. I should probably just fill it up right now while it's cheap-o. 

The lowest I've seen so far is $2.39 a gallon.

Last time I looked (today) it was $2.79 per gallon here and not dropping too fast. It's been around that for about 3 weeks now. It was just over $3.00 about 1.5 months ago. (this is for regular unleaded). Premium is still over $3.00 a gallon (and my car only takes premium - anything less will ruin the engine.....). Rumor has it that it's suppose to go up after the 1st of the year here in my state due to a new state tax by about 10-50 cents depending on who you believe..........

Filled the tank up yesterday although it didn't need it yet.  Gas was only $2.33 by me!  That shows how long a tank lasts since the last time I filled up I'm pretty sure it was more in the $2.80 range, plus or minus.

Went to the Costco station again today and it was $1.94 a gallon. Honestly I never thought I'd see gas under $3 a gallon again, much less under $2.

It went down to $1.98 today at Shell, so I went to fill it up. Only $28!!

Wow,I wish we could get gas for that cheap. My husband filled our van and it was $56 which is really cheap since it used to be around $90.

We're keeping the van full while the gas is so low. When we bought the van, we filled up at 1.38/liter....or somewhere close to $95. Which was quite the shock after filling an Intrepid for half that. The other day, I saw the pump at 90.9c/liter, and we filled for less than $60! Haven't done that since the car
