I guess I'm about to find out what premium unleaded costs in the U.S. I'm about to leave (alone and enjoying the good "single" life) on vacation and will hit about 5-7 states (depending on route) in 4-7 days. Stay for an undetermined time and return, probably on a different route.

So, I may sample fuels and pricing from as many as 15 states.

I can start by saying just filled the car with premium (boutique fuel, this time of year...and poorer mileage) for $3.85/gal.

Thanks, Lar....

I have that book marked along with Gas Buddy.

Generally, I bunk out for the night at a motel near the freeway (or what ever route). But I do check in aroung 5-6PM. .......have dinner at someplace "in town" and found the same brand gas, 5-15 cents different, at times, in or near the area I'm eating.

$3.75 a gal today here in S E Michigan at a few stations cash a dime more for credit . Odd thou E 85 is still at $3.39 so the small advantage is gone now

I paid $3.96 for Sunoco 93 this evening, almost thought i was gonna die from the surprise that it was cheaper this week. Be nice if the prices would just keep on dropping.

Regular unleaded has been $3.99/gallon for the longest time. It just dropped to $3.94/gallon yesterday. I lost track of premium costs around here; too damn expensive!!

Today $3.69 for the good stuff..

Yes the price is lower than last week, but are we supposed to be happy ?

Prices are still crazy

I heard they said on the news that gas prices should drop at least 50 cents by the middle of summer. You won't hear me complaining if they do... but who knows if they will?? But, $3.50 is still cheaper than $4.00, so I'll take it.

Isn't it funny? They got us looking forward $3.00/gallon is a good thing. In reality, $3.00/gallon still is not that cheap. Who knows if we'll ever see $1.50-$2.00 again...

Precisely my point...Conditioning us to think $3. per gal is good..

Of Course I'll take it too. No other options. Till my electric golf cart..
