I can tell you what's happening with US gas prices by looking at EcoModder's server logs.

I always cringe when I am trying to sell an insight when gas prices are low. Just sold one for way less than it would if gas was closer to $4.50 here and not $4.00.

Maybe its me but I notice when gas is cheaper my car seems to go longer before needing refills then when it goes up. When it gets to 4 bucks a gallon I find myself inline weekly with all the others to buy gas like a hurricane just hit.

I used to play in a band that rehearsed on weekend nights in a basement in West Point. Always had the cheapest gas there. Live in Williamsburg then, but I bought all my gas out there in West Point, just topping off on the weekends.

Gas being near $4/gal made me slightly more motivated to ride a bicycle to work 6.4 miles instead of drive. Today I decided I'm not getting back on the bike until I get a saddle that doesn't kill me.

Wish we could get some of that cheap gas up here in Northern VA. I see a couple stations in Central VA are now under $3.00 (Woo hoo) Bring it on!!

Gas here (Gulf Coast) is about 3.279. We put money on a Stripes Card and get 11¢ off from pump price. On a trip outside our area, we got 12¢ off. Still hoping for lower prices as the summer ends.

Out on my walk again today it was plainly evident that fuel is too cheap. Yes, it was the usual parade of stupidity out there. :/

The gas stations in Richmond range from 3.18-3.32 depending on which side of town you're on... I don't understand that at all. GasBuddy app on my iPhone is awesome though and always leads me to the "cheap" stuff!

That's funny.  Just to be sure, you are joking, right?
