Last time I got gas, it was $1.91, but that has been a week ago.
Nora D. May 12, 2009, 12:11am UTC
I couldn't believe it, but here in central Iowa, it's up to $2.07 a gallon!!
Brian T. May 12, 2009, 12:32am UTC
about 2.50 in my neck of the woods

It went up to $2.45 today here in eastern WA. It had been $2.27- $2.29 on Friday.

La, la, la, la, la!
Looks like it ranges from $2.21 to $2.49 in Portland metro. We are traditionally one of the highest spots.
Go, vanpool, go. Our 15-passenger vanpool is very gas-wise.

Ours jumped from 1.89 to 2.19

I know it's over 2 dollars a gallon. They are getting ready for Memorial Day. They do this every year.

Good grief, I thought $2.21 was bad. I hope it didn't go any higher after I left work yesterday. I have to get gas no matter what today. I really can't afford those prices...why must they keep climbing. The price of a barrel hasn't gone up...just another scam because of Mother's Day, Spring driving weather and Memorial Day just around the corner. This is sooo wrong, and now the rest of the summer will be like this and I will never get myself out of the hole from last year. I was almost there....I lived the last 2 weeks on 20 bucks...thursday payday...pay the bills buy some gas to get to work to make some money to buy more gas to get to work to make a little bit more money. Never gonna get anywhere with prices like this. Now I'm just depressed. I could do better on unemployment, at least I wouldn't be driving to work wasting money on gas and wear and tear on the truck. such a bummer.

It was $2.15 - $2.25 for reg in my neighborhood.
Jennifer F. May 12, 2009, 7:02am UTC
Ours jumped to $2.23 yesterday.
C.L. R. May 12, 2009, 7:48am UTC
You know, I was just out yesterday and didn't even notice.

this morning its $2.25 yesteday it was $2.19
Marilyn M. May 12, 2009, 8:21am UTC
Yes it's back up to $2.27. Here, they blame that on the fact that they're selling "summer gas" now and it's more expensive. I never lived anywhere else where they had "summer gas."
Amanda C. May 12, 2009, 1:35pm UTC
I think it was 2.26 yesterday and Sunday when we got gas I htink it was like 2.16. Before the weekend it was still underr 2
Lori A May 12, 2009, 2:23pm UTC
It was 219.00 yesterday in Palm coast fl but its been jumping a lot lately my husband expects it to be around 126 today
Samantha D. May 12, 2009, 2:43pm UTC

DesertDarlene L. May 12, 2009, 4:49pm UTC
Yeah, it's been going up. I think yesterday I went by a gas station and it was in the mid $2.30s.
R B May 12, 2009, 8:27pm UTC
Foolish nonsense. One place was $2.09, up the road was $2.60. Just plain dumb.
Jodie C. May 14, 2009, 11:03pm UTC
I didn't notice today's prices. But I know they went up about 20 cents between my last two fill-ups.
Nora C. May 15, 2009, 11:17pm UTC
It was 2.23 at the station that I usually go to today.
Mary G. May 16, 2009, 4:59pm UTC
It has gone up and not surprised with all the people traveling to my area for the Strawberry Festival.
