$4.19
May 21st, 2008
More than the cost of a medium-sized cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee.
More than four candy bars from the vending machine at work.
More than a round-trip ride on Chicago’s El.
More than a milkshake.
More than a bottle of nail polish or a new chapstick.
= The cost, right now and climbing, of ONE gallon of gasoline in my neighborhood.
What are prices like by you?

$3.62 in the suburbs of Minneapolis!
3.99 - rochester ny and ‘burbs
I’m not positive of the conversion, but here in the Canadian gas was $1.32/L last time I looked. From looking online at conversion I think it is close to $5 US, (they said $1.30/L Canadian = $4.92/gallon US)
Ooops, here in Canada, not here in the Canadian. Sheesh.
$3.89/gal this morning in Tampa, FL.
RaceTrac, a convenience store chain that sells their gas cheaper than most, had their price set at $3.73/gal. All of the gas stations near it also had their price set to match RaceTrac’s. As you travel further from that particular gas station, the gas prices slowly increase.
$3.88 -$3.99 near Fort Lauderdale and $4.09 across from the Miami airport…however gas is almost higher near an airport.
$4.07 at the cheapest, cheapest place (where it’s almost $0.10 more if you don’t pay cash) near me in Berkeley, CA.
Is it possible that Chicago is the highest price?
Oft times on the national news I hear the highest gas prices are often in Chicago.
Anyway up here in the Green Bay area we are currently paying about $3.95 or so per gallon.
