I am currently in Woodward Oklahoma and its about 295 here...I will be close to Newport Oregon in a month so we will see what they are when I make it there.
$3.69/gal for 91 octane Chevron. Sunnyvale, CA (Silicon Valley). I can't even find 93 out here and don't want to know what the 100 octane stuff costs (only a couple stations even offer it).

I'm paying about $3.09 for premium. I remember 26 cent gas. We got it in Texas on a road trip back in the '70's. Our poor BMW 2002 was knocking in level flight! Worse gas I ever got, until some Exxon fouled my Peugeot's injectors, but that's another thread...
$3.51 in Torrance - it's obscene - it must be wonderful to be in an industry that can shrug and say "we have refinery capacity problems, err . . . huricane problems . . . err scary arab problems . . . err India wants to buy a lot of oil
somehow their profits continue to set record after record.
Update....$2.99 in Woodward OK now...went up today
As far as the Expedition goes...well I drive an Explorer for work and my brother drives an Expedition and with the miles we drive..it ain't cheap by any means....wish my MINI was here with me
In central GA. near Macon it runs 2.85 up to 2.99 depending on the brand.
In the 50s and early 60s gas wars were common and I remember prices going as low as .14 and .16 a gallon. I think that's refered to as the good old days. Of course if you were making $2.00 an hour you were doing ok.
The Chevron station I use in Petersburg VA is $2.99/gal 93 premium. The Shell station I use in Richmond VA is #3.09/gal 93 premium. Also the chevron station does not use the 10% ethanol gas. I try to use this station as much as I can. I have noticed better gas mileage when filling up there.
