Im curious. eGO is wide ranging and diverse in locations, so I'm curious what you're paying locally for automotive fuel, no matter what you call it. Especially now since the bottom seems to have fallen out from the oil bubble we've been enjoying.

Two weeks ago, I tanked up for about $3.80/gallon. Today, I found $2.74/gallon.
 
From what I've seen two things are spuring the fall of gas prices.

The first reason is simple: World wide demand has gone down. People can no longer afford to drive thus buying less fuel and in the long run increasing supply which decreases prices.

The second one is: The dollar is getting stronger. The nice things about recessions is that the currency deflates.

Shows dollar vs. pound & euro:

It almost below $3 in S.Florida
 
I saw it range from $3.19 near my house this morning then about $2.72 20 mins south of me (was driving to work).
 
I've been too busy thinking about classes to pay attention to the prices unless I'm at a gas station, but I do know it's under $3 as of at least a week ago.
 
Well, I live near Dallas, so all that gas being made on the gulf coast is shipped right through here, with the benefiet being we ge all kinds of cheap gas fast.
 
This is in my hometown of Pharr,TX

If you guys could also say where you're located, that would be cool.

In Phoenix, I got it for $3.25 two days ago.
 
It's $2.50ish here in Marshall, TX. Probably less. I think I saw one gas station selling $2.42 gas.
