Default Gas price check

I'm seeing quite a difference in gas prices today. Usually they are within a dime town to town. Wondering what other people are seeing for prices and where.

We went to watch the sunset at South Haven, MI tonight (BARELY got there in time to see it!), and we saw the highest price variation on the way back that I saw all day. Cheapest was in South Haven at $2.919, and the highest was at Bangor, 7 miles away, at $3.199. I paid $3.149 for Amoco Ultimate tonight in Sturgis.

What are you paying and where?

we're being told here in NC that we have the highest gas in teh nation next ot Hawaii and Alaska. they tell us its because the hurricane Ike knocked out power in Texas and they're struggling to get it to us. that was like nearly a month ago. these prices are for regular:

i've seen about $3.60 around here, however today i rode with my dad to norfolk today and i saw mostly $3.18 area, and one gas station was $3.06 near the port.

Todd, we get hosed up here in Canada too.
The price per litre yesterday was $1.049
Converted to price per gallon, it's roughly $3.97

As for differences in price from one station to another. Around here, every gas station changes their price at the exact same time. Suspicious???

Edit: I usually go to Sunoco as well. Since the supercharged 3.8 calls for premium, I usually go with the Ultra. In Canada, they claim it's 94 octane, but I think it's probably the same 93 octane you're getting in NY. The Sunoco Ultra is always 12 cents per litre more expensive. Converted to gallons, that's..........enough to make a car nut cry.

When I was in europe this in august it made me feel better about our gas prices since they were paying the equovalent of 8.50 a gallon. Under 3.00 would make me happy. I in 1999 filling the boat up with premium at the lake and I was pissed becasue it was a 1.50 and in town itwas a 1.15. Now I know what my parents were saying when they talked about getting a gas for .05 a gallon.
