I bought gas yesterday because I needed some and we went to COSTCO for snacks, ummm… I mean shopping.

It got me thinking, with all the craziness going on in parts of the world, there’s been some price volatility, lately.  
I’m curious to know what the nation’s retail prices look like.

I’ll kick it off…

**Bradenton, FL COSTCO Top Tier unleaded gasoline:**

**regular \_ $2.309 (2.31) / U.S. gallon**  
**premium $2.659 (2.66) / U.S. gallon**

_ **CSA** _ ⛽

Over here on the Space Coast prices can vary by 30 cents in a five mile radius. No Costco, Sam’s not top tier so I get my gas from convenience stores. I think it was $2.39 yesterday.

I have no idea what the fuel price is. I can’t control it and I have to have it. We have one vehicle that never get less than 30 MPG and one that gets 20 MPG + .

In Wash. DC and near suburbs regular is $2.40-2.70.  
There are a couple stations a bit above the average.

> This seemingly out-of-place gas station by the Watergate hotel was once described as the most expensive gas station in the world.

  
Haven’t by there lately, but I’m sure they’re well over $4.

I don’t know about other parts of the country, but prices here in N. Michigan, they are never the same price for more than 2 days. It’s not uncommon to see them change 2 and even 3 times in a day.

Chart showing state gas tax rates. The tax differences seem to be the primary factor in price at the pump differences. Of course, there are usually some variations at gas stations in any given local area. I often see as much as a ten to twenty cent difference per gallon at local QT (Quick Trip) pumps only a few miles apart.

I did. It doesn’t seem to indicate that I could have spent only $2.31 for regular in Bradenton on Florida’s Sun Coast. It appears to show a higher price range than reality.

In Minnesota I think I paid $2.45 at Mobil for regular on Saturday. I suspect it went up about a dime or less in the last few weeks.

I have really stopped paying attention to gas prices since I sold my business (auto repair shop and major branded gas station with small c-store) 4 years ago, but because of your post I checked today here in Western Oregon:

Chevron station: 2.999 for Reg, 3.199 for Supreme  
No-name convenience store across the street, 2.899 for Reg  
Fred Meyer (Kroger grocery and department store) 2.789 for Reg

I only buy major branded gasoline, and even if I didn’t I would still stop at the Chevron because I can get in and out quickly. I can’t see waiting in line 3 cars deep for gas to save the price of a cup of coffee.

The costco nearest to me is $3.29/gallon regular today

According to marnet’s map, I live in one of the states with the highest state taxes and fees on gasoline

For what it’s worth . . . the Costco near me is both top tier rated and also has the lowest prices

Missouri has the next to lowest gas tax rate; only Hawaii has a lower rate. Across the river a few minutes from me, Illinois has the third highest rate. Illinois locals who work in Missouri and/or live close to a bridge across the river tend to buy their gas here in Missouri.
