It's been awhile since I've seen current Regular Unleaded gas prices from across the country.

Here in the Philadelphia, PA area it ranges from $1.47-1.53/gallon.

What are you all paying in your neck of the woods?

Vette(s): SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)

SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
It's been bouncing back and forth from around $1.35 to $1.49 and been that way for quite awhile. Same chain prices can vary by as much as a dime a gallon at locations less than 5 miles apart. That one still has me stumped! |headscratch|

87 octane $1.45 89- $1.55 91-$1.70 I remember buying 100 octane for 29.9 in new jersey back in the early 70's. Heres a neat story. my first car was a 61 ford truck. DMV made me get commercial tags because of the weight. after i sold it I bought a 69 Hurst/Olds with a 455 in it. Dmv asked if i wanted new tags-$40 or transfer my old tags $4. i said transfer. So i wound up with commercial tags on my Hurst/Olds. Then the gas shortage of 1974 hit. gas stations would only let you buy $2 of gas every other day. you had to plan you day around waiting in line to buy a couple of gallons of gas. Except if you had commercial tags- there was no limit and you could buy any day you wanted. i loved pulling up to the pumps and telling the attendant to fill it up and he would yell $2 limit. I would show him my commercial plate and he would fill the tank and everyone in line would stare in disbelief. |bouncy|

Well, here in the frozen tundra (just kidding, it rains here all the time), Regular is $1.89, Plus is $1.97, And supreme is $2.09. |cussing|
But, I am using AV-Gas in my vette and my camaro and I can get it for $1.67 a gallon. Not bad for 100 octane low lead.
