How much does gas cost where you live?

Lately here in Green Bay, Wisconsin, regular unleaded gasoline is $2.59/gallon, which is the lowest its been in a while. So I was wondering, how much does regular unleaded gasoline cost where you live? Also, what's the trend with the price? Has it been decreasing, increasing, going back and forth, or staying the same? Just curious to see what everyone's paying and who pays the most for gas and who pays the least.

So, like I said: $2.59/gallon in Green Bay, WI. It's been decreasing lately. Now go ahead and post how much it is where you live; I'm curious

I am constantly filling up my car. Of course, I never really run it down to empty though either. I just drive so much that when gas goes down, it puts me in a good mood. I probably put on anywhere from 25,000 to 30,000 miles on my car every year. I know that's excessive, but I like to think of it as a good thing. I love my HHR so much, I just can't get out of it. haha!

I put very few miles a year on my car now...... Filled it Friday before last and still have over half a tank. I think I wash it more than I drive it.

At BP in De Pere, WI where I normally fill up, the Premium grade of gas has No Ethanol. I really like that they still offer gas without ethanol. It can be hard to find nowadays. I've always liked the idea of running my car on pure gasoline, I guess it's just a piece of mind type of thing. A gasoline engine is meant to run on gasoline, not corn. Even though it might not harm the engine, it certainly can't help it. I was beginning to wonder if anyone cares or gives it much thought these days.

I do, & hope it stays obtainable.. I know on my Harleys, I can Lean the jetting out a bit when using all Gas..
Whereas I have to richen them up to run the blend.. They would still run either way, but just not optimally..
