Gas here West Central Florida is running about **$1.96/gallon** ( **before** my _Shell Rewards_ 5 cent/gallon discount). Prices seem to continue to drop almost daily. Some places must be a little higher and some a lot lower… **What gas price do you have in your locale (price/locale)?** _ **CSA** _ 🌴🕶🌴 ---

$1.77 in north MS. I’m traveling and had to pay closer to $2/gallon ($1.97) in south MS. I’m not sure why the prices are higher further south. Below $2/gallon though, so I’m not complaining. ---

We’re paying 3.05 at Costco, 3.25 at no-name stations, 3.49 at the Big Name places, here in Northern California. We voted to put a new .50 tax per gallon on last Summer so the streets and roads would get fixed, and they are. ---

I generally have no idea what gas prices are, since it doesn’t matter and there’s nothing I can do about it. But I took a trip last week to take the kids to see grandma. Here in Oregon it was $2.799 when I filled up before leaving, paid anywhere from 3.259 to 3.599 along the way to SoCal. I only fill up at major brand gas stations. I don’t do the Costco or grocery store thing. ---

I think the sign said $2.11 now in Minnesota. I’m down to just about a half tank but it’s too cold here to stop (5 degrees-75 degrees colder than Florida). I’ll stop in a couple days if it warms up. Our new governor though seems to think an additional 30 cents a gallon would be a good thing so we could be up there with California pretty quick. Then I’d need to drive to Iowa to fill up. ---
