Yes time to celebrate! I remember during the summer that premium gas was about $4.30 a gallon... A fill up was like $70 bucks!

I was shocked, $1.53 in Atlanta for reg. $33 to fill up from E on premium. This was the price back in 2003....

Still, I am not going to think short sighted. I continue to carpool when possible, use public transit and we drive the G/Fs more efficient Altima most of the time.

Dang, I was going to say that I found the lowest until your post. $1.76 in Houston (Westpark tollroad & 1464). Where's this Chevron station?

Reasonable...........after this summer's $4.00 and up prices, it's downright cheap right now. It was costing me $34 for 8 gallons before. Now I don't even care. I don't even look at the prices at the different stations. I'm just gonna enjoy it while it lasts.
