Visited my parents.  Central Florida was about 4.59 on 5/24/2022.

filled up today at $4.01

What is your Memorial fuel price?

[clean]

Fueled up yesterday.  Today I am seeing prices as low as 3.99, but most are higher!  Many seem to be closer to 4.19, even when they were just 4.07 or so just yesterday!

$4.57 

My really old car gets 22 mpg, so my-hour long commute is ridiculously expensive currently.

I saw it for $4.19/gallon, but I had a 20 cent/gallon off reward, so I filled up for $3.99/gallon. That's the cheapest I've seen around here.

Over four dollars here now, in a state which has historically had some of the lowest gas prices in the nation.  And still does--it's just that the low is a lot higher now. 

I know one staff member who has curtailed her already limited driving to save fuel.

$4.63 and the usual decimals, cash (I think this was the least expensive of the four stations I passed this morning). I've been watching the price go up from $4.18 just ten or so days ago. Should have filled up last week, but I still have half a tank left. It's going to be an expensive summer.

$4.71 and the usual decimal points today, cash or credit.

I was in disbelief when I saw the prices at the four or five gas stations on my way to the grocery store this morning because the price was almost $5 last week. I haven't been driving much but I kept watching the prices go up and telling myself that I should fill up before the prices went above $5.

It's hard to make meaning out of individual price reports from different times and places with different tax rates, blending rules, and locations. Most important at the moment, we must not confuse the effect of the overall inflation rate on the price off gasoline with a change in the relative price of gasoline.

Adjusted for inflation, the price of gasoline is still lower than it was in February 1981, July 2008, and all through 2011 to 2014.

My forecast for gasoline prices is that they will fluctuate. :-)

About $4.69 a gallon for the regular unleaded.

Ugh - $5.09 for regular unleaded here...good thing I had fuel points, which brought it down to $4.39 a gallon...but, then again, I only had so many fuel points because grocery prices have also been astronomical.

I do remember other price spikes in the long-ago past, so this is helpful. I paid 4.84 yesterday when I was just about out of gas and then passed 2 stations at 4.67.

Dont Feed The Dismalist!

Dismalist only posts here to tell us why this information is useless, or that gasbuddy or AAA provide national and regional numbers.  Ignore him/her. 

Finally, this last post is just wrong, but I wasnt going to point out that many of us post the CHANGES in prices and the direction of change  (as a potential warning to GO NOW and fill up or WAIT a day or so...  , so while the levels are a function of state taxes, the changes are NOT,  but I hope that hu goes to other threads to post there dismal outlook elsewhere!

Maybe this is the new normal?
