I didn't go by the station today but last I heard they were the low $2.70's/gal around here in central Alabama.
We've been seeing about a 3-5 cent drop every day for a few weeks now, and I'm loving it.

The price jumps up every Thursday and goes back down at its own pace pretty much depending on the gas company. The highest I can remember here (Montreal, Can) must have been something like $1.40 a litre. That was not too long ago either. I payed $1.06/L a few days back when I filled up. Its sad that I now find that cheap!!! You guys in the US don't know how good you have it!

Lets see slightly less than 4 L per Gal Right? So 1.40 x 4 = $5.6 (CAN) per GAL of gas. wowzors!

Guess that's the price we pay to send our oil to the USA and have it refined then sold back to us!!!

Dang.

I just filled my truck up for $2.71 (2.69 at Raceway but they have cheap gas and it's lower quality so I don't use it).

I hope to see it drop to about $2.50 and stay there...or perhaps 2.00 and I'd be in heaven!

Is it USD$2.00/litre(gallon) or what. Because in Australia it's hovering around AUD$1.50. which coincidentally means we are paying more (when you convert litres into Gallons).
Either we should be paying 0.22/2.00 (I'm really tired right now) or you should be paying 4.55x1.50.
Interestingly enough despite all Petrol Companies having standardised prices (Two stations one suburb = same price) there is nothing illegal (price-fixing etc.). I think our Consumer Affairs people need to work harder.

96.4p per litre around here (UK), apparently. So that's about $5.45 USD/gallon, or $6.63 CAD/gallon, or $1.75 CAD/litre, or $2.17 AUD/litre, at current exchange rates. I'm happy that I don't have a car ;)

USD $1.89 now here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. ;) I suspect it won't stay this low forever. Either way we seriously need to invest in alternative energy sources, irrespective of the fluctuating prices of petrol.

$1.86 now.

I have no illusions - these prices will not stay long. Maybe a few more weeks.
