A lot of things factor in on prices at the pump (greed, delivery costs, hurricanes, supply, demand, etc.) State taxes explain a big part of the variance, state to state.

Highest State Gasoline Tax Rates (cents per gallon)

1. California - 52.47 cents
2. New York - 49.57 cents
3. Connecticut - 49.30 cents
4. Hawaii - 49.11 cents
5. Pennsylvania - 41.80 cents
11. Florida - 36.03 cents

Lowest State Gasoline Tax Rates (cents per gallon)

50. Alaska - 12.40 cents
49. New Jersey - 14.50 cents
48. South Carolina - 16.75 cents
47. Oklahoma - 17 cents
46. Virginia - 17.28 cents

We might have low gas taxes around here, but we are clobbered with real estate taxes that more than make up for any savings on gasoline taxes! (Average taxes in my town house development is $6,900 a year!)

Many of the neighborhoods built during the "real estate boom" from the 1990's through 2008 are paying taxes on average $10,000 per year for single homes. At 14.50 cents per gallon, that would have been 68,965 gallons of gas per year needed to equal the RE tax. :shock:

Dont know if this has been posted but I use this map to find the best price..It is nationwide, just needs a zip code and remember to zoom in to your area.

Just under $3 a gallon here.

 

[detdrbuzzard]

I paid $2.94 for mid-grade last weekend. I was in north baltamore , oh area

Gas price is much less an OUCH now.

Yesterday regular at $3.07, so $2.87 per gallon using Ralphs reward card! Nice.

The station I use stops our card at $75, this time it was full at $72. The lever clicking off full hasn't happened for a very long time.

 

[joedrum]

sheesh lol

$2.85 for PREMIUM here! Only card needed is a credit/debit card!
Only $50 to fill the werk Cad this week, instead of $70! :yahoo:

sheesh lol

Hmm, which version of 'sheesh' is this one lol.

 

[joedrum]

well i dont use plastic magic myself but .... but this is the first time ive heard of the plastic magic stopping the the pump... lol i know caveman ...not in the game ... :smilie_happy:

 

[AApple]

A lot of places will automaticallystop the pumps like that at a certain dollar amount. I was told by one feller the reason was that the fees associated with a large transaction can be quite high, and....if there is any fraud involved(stolen card, etc), it limits their losses.

 

[dan filipi]

Lots of money can be saved with the so called 'plastic magic'.
My wife commonly saves over $60 on groceries and points are added to the card for gas savings.
It's a 'game' well worth playing.

 

[Ansimp]

You guys are killing me, we are still paying the same prices here as last year when I was paying $4.20 a gal in SoC

 

[slabghost]

If it ever get's under $1 a gallon it won't be ouch any more.

 

[Ansimp]

I would love to see $1 a litre and I would be happy :yes: When Aussiegold was filling up the Cadillac he gave the attendant $80 so he could fill it. He doesn't know who was more shocked the attendant for giving him $80 or himself for only putting $32 in to fill it up. The Subarus and most 4 cyl cars cost us $70- $80 to fill

ha ha , yes... and that was after i stood there ( at the pump ) like a massive tool, holding the filler hose and waiting for the pump to turn on. i was unaware that you have to prepay
for fuel. he looked at me real weird , that fella. :roll:
ps
petrol here is around 1: 45 a litre. the 95 stuff i put in the bike is usually 8 to 10 cents a litre dearer. when the wing goes on to reserve it will be over $20 to fill.

 

[Offcenter]

Seems to be hanging around $2.62 gal in my area, although I did see as low as $2.52 at one particular station a week or so ago.

Nice having a full tank in the car , probably hasn't been full in years...3/4 maybe, I am sure there is a dark area inside the tank where the fuel has never been. I dont expect it will last.3.25 for diesel is very nice.

 

[dan filipi]

I heard this morning it will come down about .20 more by Christmas and drop more by new year.
Sure would be nice if it stays, at least for awhile.
