$3.17-$3.29 in Houston today. I filled up for $3.19. :(

Here's what I don't understand. The oil comes into the Port of Houston and is processed in Texas City (a Houston suburb). When it is all said and done we (Houstonians) still pay more than many places around the nation. :shrug:

You're joking, right? I just paid $3.59 (OK, $3.69 because my car needs mid-grade, but regular unleaded is $3.59). We haven't seen prices as low as yours for several months.

For any of you reading this in the USA or Canada, and planning a visit to the UK this year please sit down before continuing.....

.....Are you sitting comfortably??

Current UK price for a US gallon (assumed exchange rate of $2 to the £) is $8.

Unfortunately I need premium. I've seen $3.75 with Mobil and $3.63 across the street with Exxon. What is going on there? It's the same company. Cheapest lately has been Citgo for $3.49. In Queens, NYC.

I noticed diesel fuel this morning at $4.049. That's the first over $4 I've seen. Now, my big truck gets about 6mpg, so that works out to about $.67 a mile just for fuel. No wonder there are price increases on every supermarket aisle.

We're thankful for the DW's Prius and the 1.5 mile commute for her. This was a consideration when we sold the ranch and moved to town a few years ago.

Oh, the original question.... It was $3.099 at Costco this evening, if you waited in the continuous 5-6 vehicle lines at each island.

Paid $3.09 here in Fort Worth today. What staggers me is the cost of diesel, $3.89 at the same station. Seems to me that the trucks on the highway that are delivering the things we buy are paying $3.89 and up which is passed on to us in the form of higher prices.

About 6 or 8 months ago I bought a 2000 Ford Escort to run around in. It gets about 30 mpg and has probably already paid for itself!!

Another Houstonian here (Texas, not Glasgow).
I Just got unleaded for $3.08 at Krogers in NW Houston.
I never thought I'd yearn for the days of $2.50/gallon again:rolleyes:

Yeah, my sister-in-law says the same thing. And she can see oil refineries from her office window.

Put $80 in the MoHo (1/4 tank) -- enough to get us into town on the next time out. Granted, the location was fairly remote and it was a Friday -- when the station is frequented by a long parade of desert-bound RV traffic.

The three grades were: $4.09, $4.19 and $4.39.

According to our RV log book, the last fill-up, late Dec 2006, was $2.49 for premium!

I paid $4.08 today at the Pukalani Shell station for regular. This is one of the average priced stations on Maui, and I use it because I don't get my 5% Costco/Amex business card rebate on gas purchases at the cheaper station up the road in Kula.

Up the road in Kula, it was $4.06 earlier in the day, but later in the day, it was down to $4.03. The usual difference between the Shell Station and the gas station in Kula is 2 cents per gallon.

It had been as high as $3.98 previously, then backed off a bit to as low as $3.91, then jumped back in the last day or two.

Bay Area California, you're next, unfortunately.
