Check out this website and then drill in on your state or city.

I hope it saves a few bucks for you.

Thankfully I do not have the 65 mile drive anymore, then it would be a killer.

It's depressing.
Our prices rarely vary from station to station except for one or two places off the main drag (sometimes). Even the station that has no attendants has been the same as everyone else--20 cents more than the next town over to the east (which at 70 miles is a bit far to go to get gas). There are letters to the editor, but no one seems to have a satisfactory answer.

The next town to the north even has its own refinery, yet its prices are the same or a couple cents higher.

It is quite amazing. Luckily, we have some of the "lowest" price gas around in my town. So I always fill up in my town.

Gas (regular) in Southern California is $2.40 low to $2.65:mad: . Depends where you buy. It has gone down a few cents the last few weeks, but the traffic is still as bad as ever. :(

Drive 40 miles in any direction from our place and gas is 20 cents plus--cheaper.
Just my luck.

Yes it hurts, $50+ per fill up.... price to pay for having a truck.

On the bright side, gas has not climbed at the same rate as inflation over the years....

I don't even know what I pay. I always go to the same station and then use my credit card.

It figures that the stations near my area are all on the high price list.

I buy Chevron out of habit. I also live in a very expensive zip code, but not as expensive as the zip code for Los Gatos, the next closest town.

There are two nearby Chevron stations within 1/2 mile of the other and there can be as much as a $.08-10 differential in pricing between the two.

Fortunately the lesser expensive station is closer to my house.
