   $1.65 to $1.81 in Houston (Texas, naturally), depending on where in town you are. Near where I live and work, $1.71 is not uncommon.

   You have a magical bear flag league blogroll that leaves off half the blogs.

   What’s up with that?

    The lowest I’ve seen here in Oklahoma City has been $1.519, but the average is closer to $1.60.

    xrlq: If you live in Orange County, the best place to buy gasoline is La Habra (assuming you have a reason for being there in the fist place). Gas there typically runs about 10-15 cents a gallon less than anywhere else in OC. I have no knowledge of where its at right now, though, since I haven’t had need to head out there in a few weeks.

    Here in Oregon, I’ve seen as low as $1.699, at ARCO.

    Various pages on the interweb list such things, as does (also via interweb) the US Government.

    Just left the cabin at Homewood (Lake Tahoe), CA and paid $2.09 at Chevron… (The upside was that we got out just before the big storm.) As the Sacramento, CA area has already been commented upon, I’ll not duplicate that number.

    $1.69 for the past week in Erie, PA

    Addendum to above: On the way home from work, I spied a no-name station (US 62 just east of I-35, Oklahoma City) selling the low-octane stuff for $1.499.

    Arizona (89 octane) $1.839
    New Mexico (88 oct) $1.799
    Subtract about $0.10 for regular.

    $1.659 at an ARCO in Troutdale, OR (an east suburb of Portland).

    In Coweta County, Georgia, the bargain stations I see most frequently are selling regular at $1569 a gallon. Last week or so the local paper named a station in another area that had regular at the time for $1.499 — but I can’t vouch personally and don’t know whether they’ve raised the price since.

    Georgia, of course, has gas taxes so low the libs are afraid to suggest raising them.

    $1.67 last night along I-80 in AZ, just 20 miles east of Needles.

    Today I filled up for $1.529. After all those near-$40 fillups, it was refreshing to finish up at just over $30 or so.
