$1.89/gal for gas!

On our way home from WV (Jan. 4), we got gas in Virginia for just $1.89 a gallon. I filled up my van for $40. I remember vividly, the pump shutting off automatically at $75 and my tank not being full. A welcome sight, especially since we've been on the road so much lately.
Wow that's a beautiful sight! When I was in Alabama I topped off at $1.93 and was ecstatic about that.

That's awesome. I just filled the tank at $2.49.

Good to see. It's still high in NC.

Great find and I like the bright red sign. Gas is 1.99 here. Didn't think it would ever be under 2$ again.

Nice. We drove a large SUV over our recent vacation and it always just cost us $40+ to fill (not completely, but still!). Lowest we paid was about $2.09, though.

@ladygator I'd be happy with that, too!
@anazad511 That's about what we were paying in WV, too. Slightly less than that in NC. Too gad we couldn't take this price back to NC with us! LOL!
@randystreat Unfortunately we haven't seen that price here in NC. There was a 60 cent difference in the gas we got on Saturday night in WV and on Sunday afternoon in VA.
@tjchapa Neither did I. So glad it's finally dropping.
@danette I know, we have a minivan and an extended cab pickup. Both get about 17 miles per gallon. Yuck. But, we couldn't fit out family into a smaller vehicle.

We've just gone under $1.50 per litre. This makes me green with envy.

Wow! Your prices are so cheap,your lucky,we get ripped off here in Australia,too many government Taxes for such a small Country.

Our Gas- $1.39 per/Litre
Unleaded fuel- $1.50 per/Litre
Diesel- $1.60 per/Litre. We don't use the gallon.

A great shot,I would fill my tank too if it was that cheap.

I thought our $2.39 price was good

Wow- Jeff was thinking that we'd struck gold when we paid 2.50 on the way home from Michigan! Funny how the prices have such a wide range from state to state.

@swilde @skippysue It was the same way when we were in Germany. But, there are nearly 4 liters in a gallon, so it's significantly cheaper here.

@digitalrn @olivetreeann We are still paying about $2.40 here in NC, too.
