Still hasn't dropped below $5 and your economy car costs $60 to fill!

You don't live where people live.
I'm talking to people that live with other people.
Freaking Cali. OTOH, we actually need higher gas taxes in many states to...actually pay for road/bridge infrastructure.
Hmm, the IRL version of an e-penis.

I lived in NorCal for 25 years. Every time the politicians asked the people to pass a new gas tax, they PROMISED,. " This time, the money will go to roads and other critical infrastructure." But of course, within a couple of years, the money got diverted to the general fund for something.
Really? Duh. That's like in NH were the lottery profits go to education. Except the teachers union in NH inquired and found out that it went into the general fund 🙄.

Not sure how that makes a difference? There are actually lot of people here too just not as crammed together as big cities. Big city people are often oblivious to the fact that there is more to the world than big cities. It's like the people who think "up north" is Barrie lol.

They canceled the gas tax in Connecticut, so the gas station across the street is charging "only" 3.99 a gallon now. You can find it 20 cents a gallon cheap than that if you look, though.

I think "up north" is Canada. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a fancy big-city sissy girly boy, not anything like you rugged mountain Canadian moose burly flannel guys.

I paid $5.95 at Costco last Sunday. On Saturday I paid $5.59 at the same Costco. That is a big drop for one week.

Gas at around $1.90/litre here.
Some stations in Ottawa starting to make people prepay for gas since people are gas and dashing a lot more now. Wonder if this will start to become the norm. I imagine there is a trade off as they probably lose out on some in-store sales, but if too many people do steal gas then it ends up costing them more than some lost sales.

Pre-pay policy now in effect at some gas stations to prevent fuel theft
The rising price of fuel in Ontario has forced some gas stations in Ottawa to put a new pre-pay policy in place.

It's been prepay only here for a long time, either have to prepay cash inside or use a card before pumping. Anyways, saw gas for $4.10 yesterday in northern IL and $4.79 down in Chicago on Saturday.Gas at around $1.90/litre here.

I have never seen a post-pay pump in the US. You either go inside and pay the cashier and tell them the pump number, or you use a credit/debit card at the pump to activate it.

Used to be nearly every gas-station in America was "post-pay" and self-serve was virtually non-existent. (I'm 58 and can recall the tail-end of this)
Nowadays however the only way post-pay works is if they know you well and you're filling your tank!

There's only been a few times where I actually prepaid. When covid first started mostly, I figured if I can avoid going in I will. But most of the time I would forget and start pumping before prepaying so end up going in anyway. I tend to just do it that way since I usually pickup a chocolate bar or coffee or something at same time. I'm already spending over $100 so what's another couple bucks on a snack. 😛
Looks like we're getting a small temporary break here.

They had post pay here before the last time prices got pretty high, I think it was like 15 years or so ago though. They've had pre pay with card for longer than that.though and I usually just did that.
