Gas here is around $2.65-$2.70 for a gallon of regular, which is somethings nice to see. I hope the gas prices continue to drop, even if it's ever so slowly.

Yep, they've crept back up...

I don't think our average is as high as yours yet, Richy, but I know when I filled up yesterday at the Texaco down the street it was $3.01/gallon for Premium. I put Mid-grade in at $2.91/gallon. Ouch!

Oh they've definately crept back up...up 15 cents from last week at many spots in New Orleans.

I'm seeing mostly $2.86 around New Orleans, and rising.

Ok, I think that $2.86 number I listed was a bit high, the average around here seems to be about $2.80 for a gallon of regular.

New Record High Gas Prices in New Orleans

$2.93 average for the metro? Uhh...right.
I haven't seen anything higher than $2.90 in the entire metro, and in west Saint Tammany the average price is around $2.87.

According to the local news in New Orleans, Triple A reported that the average price for a gallon of regular gas in New Orleans is actually $2.91. Which seems a bit more reasonable. I wonder why there are conflicting reports?

I paid $2.83/gallon or something similar for regular unleaded in Bossier City this morning. This afternoon I paid nearly $3.00/gallon in Dallas. Big difference.

Wow, we're now down to $2.69 for a gallon of regular here in New Orleans!  

[SBCmetroguy]

Hell yeah dude! I think I only paid a little under $2.80 for mid-grade yesterday. I was excited!

Haha, man when I saw the first gas station with prices in the $2.60's, I was smiling the rest of the way home.

The prices just keep dropping, I filled up for $2.63 just a few minutes ago at a Shell here in Covington. Just a few weeks ago I was paying $2.97 at that same station.

It $2.63 at RaceTrack on O'Neal lane in eastern BR.

I hear it should be going down some more in the coming months. Someone said it would go as low as $2.35!  But the days of cheap gas is over.

My boss was telling me the other day that it was expected to get back down to about $2.00/gallon... but I doubted that. I would say $2.35 is a maybe, but that would be excellent.

Do you remember a few years back McDonald's put their hamburgers on sell for $0.39? People were buying massive amounts of them and freezing them to consume later. Imagine if we could do something like that with gasoline once it gets down to its lowest point... just freeze the price and redeem the gas at a later date when we need the lower price!

Cryofuel. Cryogenically frozen fuel to be used at a later date.
