It was $2.29 when I filled up in Milwaukee on my way back home from the Airport (yes I'm back home as of 7pm tonight) I haven't checked the prices around the Fox Valley.

A few grocery stores on Dowlen are at war and keep lowering to beat the other. The consumer wins in this case. :)
I went to Kroger and it was $1.92/gal but I got 15 cents off per gallon with my Kroger Mastercard (I just pay it off each month) so I filled up for $1.77/gallon!! I was so happy.

Our prices for unleaded have fallen dramatically... from $3.30 at it's peak to $2.12 currently.

The price of diesel still remains high. It's at $2.58.

It was around £1.00 a litre (Thats about US$7.20) but is now down to around 90p per litre (About US$6.50). It is unlikely to go down much more, this seems to be the general price of petrol here now. (If I'm correct in using a factor of 3.79l and not 4.55l as Google suggests for the UK version).

If I could... I would send all of us some Venezuelan gas--it's currently running about $0.12/gal. (That would be roughly AU$0.04/Litre)

At several places here in Lakeland it is still 2.35 or higher. We tend to gas up at the Racetrack station out on Highway 98N since they compete with several stations in that area and they are always the lowest of the bunch. We will go out to the Sam's Club tomorrow afternoon and check and see what Sam's has for its price.
