Where at in PBC? I'm in South PBC, I've seen $2.01 at Costco, but don't have a membership there. If I go into Deerfield Beach (Broward County), it's in the $2.09-$2.19.

When gas is cheap, people drive more.  Yes, it's great to be saving money at the pump, but using that as an excuse to drive more and impact the environment more?  How wise is that in the long run?  What if gas prices reflect our individual consumption, i.e. how many miles a vehicle is driven each month and how many miles per gallon?  Totally hypothetical of course, but will people, on their own, drive with environmental impact in mind or just foolishly use petroleum at will?

Whenever I can I try to avoid having to drive. Flying back and forth from DC to Fort Lauderdale I'll take the train instead of having someone drive 80 miles round trip to come pick me upin FL. As for work I plan on once again riding my bicycle to work as a way to cut down on driving while getting back in shape. Visiting here in MD my former home I see now in DC they have these rentable bike stations ALL over the city as a way to see the city without having to drive everyway. It cuts down on the vehicles in the city and congestion the riding is a beautiful thing to see.

Unfortunately, not driving isn't really an option where I live.
Gas is also 2.29 for regular right now. Whatever this "lowest in 10 years" I keep hearing is, it isn't here.

$2.11 in Wilmington, NC

I walk a lot once I driveee to work.  It's about a 15 minute drive downtown. Once there, I walk to everything I need...or don't really need. I just explore.

Then I drive back home.

Good show, g!

I've read a number of times the statics that show that trains provide the greatest economy in terms of pound per mile per energy unit.  In other words, trains are our most energy efficient form of travel. 

And kudos on riding you bicycle!

Oh, yoo hoo, Mr. Trump.  Want to make America strong again?  Revitalize our train systems.  Doing so would make perfectly good sense!

And yet he does produce a good deal of the stuff, wouldn't you say?

I believe it!  I get update from both NARP (National Association of Rail Passengers) and RailPAC (Railroad Passenger Association of California and Nevada), both of which I support, and train deterioration is a major concern for them.  They are both strong advocates for railroad service and infrastructure improvement. 

Asterisk on the Street

$2.93 is Los Angeles County. Ugh!

eeriepadave

Was driving home from work Thursday, and they had a news report on radio about gas prices rising 10 cents a gallon due to Harvey, then I passed several gas stations that had all gone up between 40 and 50 cents since Monday.

SmallestOceans

$2.60 in Colorado

Any day of the week my wife can tell you  what the price of gas is here.  I never know.  I hand the man a Jackson, fell 'er up, and hope for change.

Bentleyspop

$2.49 in Omaha
up 25 cents

Yeah I was surprised when I filled up yesterday that it took $32.  I haven't had a $30 fill up in the entire time I've owned this car (2 years). It's been at most $27-28, recently in the $25-26 range.

Same as when Bush was president. Every natural disaster was a 30-50 cent rise in gas prices.

Oh no, it was way worse during Katrina-Rita in Louisiana.  I was paying close to $5 a gallon for gas.  I actually thought it'd never go down...

Oh I know. I had $50 fill-ups back then in my old car. That was after we invaded Iraq and it went up to the baseline $3.85-4.15, then every hurricane or oil spill after that it'd jump up to $4.50-4.85

Yep,  you remember.

They interviewed a guy in Louisiana and he pulled out a $100 bill and yelled "everyday I fill up and it costs me this!"  Diesel was even worse!

eeriepadave

almost at $3 near me

PJ_ROCKS

$2.75 for cheap stuff

We've been paying in between 1.30-1.40/litre ... in Canada 45-50% of that is tax.
