I saw it for $2.77 yesterday (Frederick, Maryland). Sells for about the same in Baltimore. It costs $0.20 a gallon more closer to Washington DC.
Oddly, on the coast it sells for even less, and just guessing from past experience, it's say it's selling for $2.65 in Cambridge, Salisbury, and Ocean City, MD. They get the fuel from Norfolk, VA by barge, and so the pricing difference has to do with different suppliers. Our fuel comes up from Louisiana on the famous Colonial pipeline that was knocked out for a few days last year by the hurricanes.

That's because Canada doesn't have the US Trucking lobby fighting any increase in gasoline taxes. They are very effective here and work at both the national and state level with equal skill and adriotness. This lobby is so effective, that it looks like most states are considering toll roads as ways to build and repair roadways, and Lexus Lanes where the rich can pay a toll to get out of traffic and speed by us commoners in the free lanes.Originally Posted by Worker Bee
Here in western Canada it's $1.11 per litre (there are 4.5 litres per gallon). So it's almost twice as expensive than yours in the US. That's why so many people fill their tank before crossing the border. Road trips cost a small fortune these days.
Personally, I would rather have higher gasoline taxes to take care of infrastucture. Tolls are cheaper for the truckers, and way more expensive for local drivers. And once the money from tolls starts flowing in, it's very hard to stop after the works is paid for and they just keep on charging the tolls. The only place I know that they stopped charging tolls is on I-95 in Richmond, VA.
Here in the Philippines it's 35pesos or 0.69 USD per liter I think. Not sure about the coco bio-diesel price tho, but I believe it is much lower.
Yesterday I saw some for $2.79 per gallon and got all excited. Pathetic that I thought that was a low price; I remember when it was well under a dollar a gallon.
Gas is really dropping here. Was $2.75 yesterday and an amazing $2.69 today. I'm starting to fear that hell is freezing over. *laughs*
