2.48 for 87, 2.65 for 89, 2.75 for 93 - Chelmsford, MA Mobil by my office

I'm starting to seriously consider using my bike unless it's raining/snowing. I live about 8 mi from work, so it's not that bad.

Edit: I remember when I first started driving (late 80's) I could get half a tank of gas for $5. Nowadays that wouldn't even budge the needle!

Filled up this morning at $2.199 a gallon in Texas. That is a 10 cent jump since last week. If this keeps up, I might have to sell my car and buy a Motorcycle.

It was that cheap in the late 80s? I guess I didn't really pay attn to gas prices back then.

$2.43 at Costco yesterday.

That was about a nickel less than other places. The wait was incredible so it wasn't worth it.

It's around $2.19-$2.28 for regular in north NJ... $2.49 for 93, ick. I think I'll keep driving the beater for commuting until prices are down a bit even if I do finish fixing my other car.
