Western Colorado. Prices are stabilizing at around $1.95 - $1.99 after dropping to a low of $1.68 (Grand Junction, CO). Unleaded regular. Diesel is $2.50 - $2.60, down from $4.10 at the end of last summer.

As Motoman said, the local grocery chain - City Market / King Soopers - offers "loyalty card" holders a discount on gas, $.10 for every $100.00 in sales. I purchased fuel for $1.16 last Saturday. You can get extra fuel points through the City Market web site and for buying things like gift cards in addition to groceries.

Given that I drive around 700 miles a week the low prices really help me out. I have several extra gas cans and fill up every other week using the fuel point discount. Last week I used 24.3 gallons, about average for winter use when I am not running my other toys. Saving $2.00 per gallon saves me at least $200.00 per month. I know prices will go up again but I am enjoying the low prices while they last.

Had the bike out yesterday for a ride, temps in the low 50s and quite nice, although you have to watch out for shady spots where there is still frost / snow on the roads. Not commuting weather yet, snow flakes in the air as I write this.

Dammit.

It hasn't dropped below $2.20 here on LI. We get screwed both ways here can't wait to leave.

GA - SC pricing

Prices I saw in South Carolina this past weekend for 87 Octane (Shell, BP, Exxon & no name off brand etc.) ranged from $1.71 to $1.79 per gallon.

In Georgia prices vary quite a bit by location. 87 Octane runs $1.79 to $1.89 on average. But as you get into Audi / Porsche / Beemer land of Atlanta neighborhoods it runs $1,95 to $2,10. South Georgia pricing is generally 5-10 cents lower than north Georgia so $1,75 to $1,85 down there. Atlanta area gets its 'juice' mostly off the Colonial Pipeline with juice made in the Texas refineries. many thanks Baytown, Texas City & Port Arthur and our US oil workers.

certainly many complex geo-political factors in all this. Plus global oil is a US$ denominated commodity so as us$ strengthens the price falls. As they say, "Don't mess with Texas"

As of today, our regular fuel (91) is 1.80 a litre, and our premium is $1.89 a litre. That adds up to $6.80 a US gallon for 91, or $8.17 a UK gallon.

Hopefully thats far enough across the pond for you Kat.

And from a bit further across the ditch, I paid $1.24 per litre for 91RON ULP.
Dunno where they got the figures from in that chart that Wildcat posted up??

Up here in the boonies I just bought ethanol free 87 octane for $2.30 a gallon. That was at the Sunrise Grocery near Blairsville, GA.

Thank you Brian. WOW! That's still pricey! Has the price gone down at all there?

I Googled it
I figured those prices were off but I couldn't find a decent source.
Thank you for the info.

I am too lazy to calculate so you have to do that yourself Kat
Here in Holland our regular fuel (95) dropped from 1.80 euro per liter to 1.40 per liter. But I do my refuelling in Belgium (10mls from my house), overthere it costs 1.15 euro per liter at this moment.

Price creeping up here in Ontario. 2 cents per day this week up to 98.9 cents per litre.

[QUOTE=Wildkat;457689] Thank you Brian. WOW! That's still pricey! Has the price gone down at all there?

Yeah, it has Kat. Its went down around 20 cents a litre in the last couple of months, but its starting to creep up again now. 8 cents a litre in the last week.

Price never got to under $2 here in South Florida. Been just above it and now it bounced up about 10 cents the other day. Hope it's just a short correction and we get to see some sub $2 here. But it's a welcome change from when it was around $4.
