Send some of that Myrtle Beach sun down here to Kentucky! I'm tired of having snow and ice every other day.
It was like this for three out of four days! 
$2.99 in NJ for 89 octane
$3.15 in North Central Indiana. I guess we pay more for the luxury of not living in Jersey?
yup! property taxes of $12,000 per year and I get to save .16 cents on every gallon of gas. The Gov wants to increase tolls by 1800% in ten years to pay down debt.
Don't feel bad, it's $3.08 in Western Kentucky, and my property taxes are $1200 per year. The economy is going to get you some way or another no matter where you live.
$ 3.31 in southwest New York State.
We went up to $3.08 for 89 octane here in Jersey, I hate to see what the summer will bring!! ouch!! I need a raise!!
I know it doesn't make you feel any better, but Kentucky and Illinois are around $3.16. Someone sent me an email the other day about saving at the pump. I have attached it here, and hope it helps others.
Helpful Tips on Pumping Gas (Good information)
I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon..
Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose , CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.
Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.
Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

wow, great stuff
it hit $3.53 per gallon of regular in Northern Indiana this morning....guess it's time to talk to the boss about my expense allowance.
Agreed, it hits everyone hard, my expenses have stayed the same for six years along with the company raisinf labor rates to cover fuel.
While I was in the Fort Myers area, 89 octane was $3.30 per gallon, I hate NJ however I love those gas prices and hell yeah we don't have to pump our own gas!! GO FIGURE!
$3.13 now for 87 octane in New Jersey. This is killin me!
Dont come any further south, 3.79 in DC
The price of gas just jump 10 cents a gallon yesterday to $ 3.62 for 87 octane. We are in southwest NY.
I feel for you guys in New York and DC, ours just went to $3.39. I can't even get 3 weeks from my mileage check anymore.
Saw another place today where 87 octane was $3.33 gallon. 
Another jump today to $3.49. A buddy of mine that works for a refueling distributor said to get ready, because most states will be over $4.00 before summer.
It just hit $3.65 a gallon in North Central Indiana today!
Now $3.45 in New Jersey for 87octane
In the last 2 weeks the price of gas went up 20 cents a gallon to $ 3.74 in Western NY.
yep....hit $3.75 here in North Central Indiana yesterday.....can anyone say Goldwing?
Now $3.56 for 87 Octane in New Jersey!
It just hit $3.95 for 87 Octane in North Central Indiana
Now $3.65 for 87 Octane in New Jersey!!
Western Kentucky is also $3.65, but diesel is $4.49. I can't seem to go to the grocery to pick up a few items without spending $50 anymore.
Just went to $ 3.89 yesterday
Today, I saw $4.01 per super!!!
We just jumped up to $3.79 this afternoon and $3.98 for the super.
$3.99 to $4.09 for 87 Octane today
Just went to $ 3.95 for 87 octane. $ 4.15 for super
I spotted $3.75 for 87octane today! Is it ever going to stop? Will big oil and the Mid East ruin our economy?
I drove by a station today that was at $3.62 with about 30 cars waiting. Not more than 1 hour later, the same station was up to $3.89. If something doesn't change soon, all my commissions will go to fill the tank.
Big oil profits are 8%. Would you be willing to take less? They have record profits because of record sales but the doom and gloom media won't tell us that.
The problem is Congress. Allow drilling in ANWAR and the Gulf and supply would be larger than demand and costs would go down.

Drove through Owensboro KY the other day and found one station at $4.01, but Evansville had posted at $4.17. Man I miss the 80's!
$3.90 for 89 octane in Central NJ
Western Kentucky finally hit $3.99 on Saturday, but I see Southern California is sitting at $5.19.
