$1.88-$1.95 in Atlanta. I had one stretch where my last 3 tanks were $4.29, $3.19, and $2.05...pretty ridiculous.

Gasoline prices are now below $2 a gallon, on average, in all states except Alaska ($2.759), Hawaii ($2.70), New York ($2.188), and the District of Columbia ($2.064). Missouri had the lowest prices at $1.558 a gallon.
