The prices here still haven't dipped below $2 per gallon although some are getting close $2.09. The station around the corner has been at $2.45 for weeks.

Cali is hovering around 2.55. I think I'll go fill up the Mustang this month. The gas that's in it is a couple months old. Lol.

Filled up with Regular Gasoline for $2.089 a gallon. I'm not enthusiastic about the price dropping and I'm trying not to complain. But it can't be good.

I haven't seen an E85 pump in months now. The local stations kept the price within 20 cents, so I stopped checking. I also moved and now there isn't an E85 pump near me.

The station across the street is at $1.93 for regular, $2.19 for E85. You all must have more subsidies.

Its my experience it trails gas when the price goes down. Now when gas rebounds it should be lower for a change for a few weeks.

My gas buddy ap allerted me to rising cost's around Grand Rapids. Many stations went from the $1.7x's to $2.0x's.

I was able to top off for $1.62 while the station a quarter mile away was already at $2.09. It was a good ride, but I have a sense prices are on their way back up.

PhoenixGasPrices.com shows the same prices as the last time that I checked and says prices are stable.
