I paid $2.57 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline here in Kansas City today.

[TheDebbieDee]

How much are you paying for regular unleaded gasoline in your neck of the woods? And where is your neck of the woods?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I'm in a suburb of Los Angeles...

I paid around $3.15 a gallon for regular unleaded here...

And this is typical of my town, and the surrounding towns.

[JDPriestly]

11. $3.03 per gallon in our relatively low-income area of L.A.

[Axle_techie]

2. bout the same $2.59

here in Bowling Green, KY

[notadmblnd]

3. it's still about 2.79 here in SE Mich

no one seems worried about gas prices anymore.

[mahina]

4. 3.38, and the oil tankers stop here on the way to California

where it's much cheaper. It's not the distance to transport here that makes the price so high. It's the refiners and their damned lock.

Solar powered electric cars, please come quick!

9. 3.62 for high test in Kaneohe....80 for a fillup

[Octafish]

25. I got $20 worth of gas with a $50 once in Punalu'u...

LOL about it still. At the time, I was out of my mind.

How are you, Brother Sir? How's Everyone? Please give my best to the Emergency Crew.

28. Junk!!

[laughingliberal]

5. Right around $3.00 give or take some pennies. Northern Nevada. nt

[MrModerate]

6. AUD 1.32/litre, which equates to approx. USD 4.35 . . .

Given 3.785 litres to a gallon and approx USD 0.87 to the Aussie dollar.

Of course, Aussie elections (the sitting PM just called one yesterday) don't hang on the price of gasoline. More like the price of a ton of metallurgical coal.

[pampango]

30. Big, spread-out country and yet you survive on $4.35 a gallon gas.

Interesting. Maybe a little additional gas tax to promote alternative energy development in the US wouldn't be the end of the world, after all.

[MrModerate]

37. I think the lower population density means lower discretionary road travel . . .

While folks are happy to travel 50 km inland to see grandma, by 100 km inland cities and towns are very scarce indeed. And the vast center of the continent is effectively unpopulated. (Of course, there's always Alice Springs, but that's a whole 'nother story.) Major cities (there are only 5) have better-than-average public transit, and people actually use it (partly because personal auto ownership is so expensive).

Of course shipping (road, rail, air) is also expensive, and with a small population overall (about 23 million), that translates into high prices for consumer goods. Expatriates (like me) spend a fair amount of time bitching over the price of electronics, clothing, etc., etc.

But yes, first-world economies can handle expensive gasoline quite nicely. And in the US, the gap between what the consumer pays and what consumers around the world pay could fund a vast range of energy development and public transit projects. Hmmmmm.

7. $2.89 for 93 octane here in Tampa, Florida.

[stevedeshazer]

8. $2.83 in Portland

More like three bucks plus across the creek in the Couve. Washington state has a higher gas tax than Oregon.

[PBS Poll-435]

10. 2.39 9/10 today here in suburban Dallas

Better than it has been in a while.

[elleng]

32. That's actually 'cheap!'

Take care of their own, those Texans, eh?

[LooseWilly]

12. Around $3.19 a gallon near SF...

Peninsula here ain't cheap though. Prices seem to be on the rise.

On the other hand, prices are about Rs 60/liter in Mumbai... which comes to well over $4/gallon in USD. (About Rs 55/ $1USD, so $4.12954013USD/gallon) So even the SF Bay Area gas prices are relatively cheap, globally speaking. Of course, the mopeds and motorized rickshaws in a place like India get a hell of a lot more than the 10 (+/-) MPG of an SUV... let alone the ox-drawn carts... ;)

[Hissyspit]

13. $2.58 -

southeast North Carolina.

[REP]

14. $3.17 in Mountain View ( Silicon Valley) CA

[GreenTea]

15. Lucky! Were paying $3.31 a gallon here in Humboldt County, CA

[Hekate]

16. $3.09 at the cheap station; about $3.40 at some others here near Santa Barbara

We've got oil being pumped out of land and sea along the California coast; we have refineries. Why do they charge us so much more? Because they can. :grr:

[jannyk]

17. $2.97 today in Coastal Oregon. nt

[Syrinx]

18. it's about the same here in Alabama

[stray cat]

19. Over 3 in NY

[ikri]

20. Care to mail some to me?

If I fill up today here in the UK it'll cost me around $6.65 for a gallon of unleaded.

About 70% of that is tax, without any tax a gallon of unleaded would be just under $2.

[taterguy]

35. Sure. Mail us your rail service & we'll call it even

And do something to make our towns closer together.

[B Calm]

21. $2.59 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline here in western Indiana

[Uben]

22. Paid $2.45/gal yesterday in Texas

Still reasonable here.

[Bitwit1234]

23. $2.69 on the Iron Range in Minnesota been that for a while

Minnesota has a law tho that you can't under sell. So I think that means it is $2.69 all over the state.

[Fumesucker]

24. $2.47 for regular unleaded in Atlanta..

$9.00 worth takes me about 180 miles on my motorcycle at 70 mph..

If I stay off the interstate I can get well over 200 miles on that much gas.

[Bandit]

26. The very cheapest is $3.27 and it just went UP a nickel from $3.22

last week.

[taterguy]

29. It's costing the blood of innocents slaughtered in oil wars

And that whole mess on the Gulf Coast.

Other than that about $2.59

[elleng]

31. Similar, Hagerstown, MD

[tilsammans]

33. $2.49 (for cash) in Northern NJ n/t

[NutmegYankee]

34. $2.81 for regular in Rural Coastal Connecticut

Think Mystic area.

[yella_dawg]

36. $2.69

Driving distance from the refineries in Houston / Beaumont.
