Gas Price Drop Steepens Ahead of Memorial Day

By Douglas A. McIntyre 2 hours ago

With the Memorial Day weekend just days away, it is clear that the
Many of the most populous states are where prices are the highest, so a relatively large portion of the population, concentrated in a small portion of the U.S. geographically, bears a significant portion of the brunt of high prices. The price of a gallon of regular bought in California yesterday was $4.19. Gas prices remain above $3.80 in several other states that include a substantial parts of America's population -- Connecticut, New York and Illinois.
However, the trend in most states appears very like the national one:
Drivers in 43 states and the District of Columbia saw the price at the pump drop over the past week, including five states where prices fell by at least a nickel: Kansas, Illinois and Nebraska (-5 cents), California (-6 cents) and Delaware (-7 cents). Among those seven states where prices increased only drivers in Ohio and Indiana are paying a nickel more and these two states have also posted two-week declines of 5 and 7-cent respectively. This is consistent with the trend in recent years where pump prices in the Midwest have often been among the most volatile in the country due to refinery issues, supply bottlenecks and logistical issues.

While the relationship between high gas prices and the overall consumer economy continues to be debated, it can hardly be disputed that falling gas prices area a positive trend as Americans move into the summer

I haven't noticed a decline - It's something like $1.30/L around here. But the BudChev use only Ultra94. It's more than $1.50/L. But I really don't worry about gas prices as I don't drive a heck of a lot.

I notice I'm get a lot better mileage, as a driver, than my wife. The mileage computer on her 2013 1.6L Ecoboosted Fusion shows that she actually gets similar mileage to that tracked in the BudChev computer (converted to around 16-19mpg city), which is totally ridiculous. When I drive the Fusion I get 40mpg in the city. I don't know what she's doing as she never takes the wheel when I'm in the car. Just one more reason that she does not get to drive the Monte Carlo

Fluctuating here, up for a week and slip back down, then up they go again. Averaging $3.59 reg. here. Hope we don't see any of the $4.00 plus that California has going on, OUCH I don't have anymore plasma left to sell, already at my monthly allotment

And thats just to buy some hamburger, anyone see how the price of meat is skyrocketing too? Food & gasoline getting crazy out there.

I've actually noticed a rise in gas prices around by me!

I hope it does go down some though, I'm paying just about $4/gal for 93

Gas sure isn't declining in price around here. I paid $3.29 gal 3 weeks ago. Last Saturday I filled up and it was 3.99 a gallon.
