Paid $3.45 yesterday. I see it's up to $3.65 today. Half the refineries in Texas shut down due to Ike, so a temporary spike in gas prices is expected. No price gouging here.

Here on the east side of St. Louis (Illinois) we've gone up to $3.99. It's anywhere from $3.69 to $3.89 in St. Louis from what the local news said this morning.

I'll have to check when I go to the grocery store later. I've been taking the city bus to work for about a month - can't drive for two bucks a day. The car has been regulated to shopping duties and such.

Locally it dropped back, and has been stable for about a month now. Mind you it's stabilised at £1.09 per litre!

Don't know for certain, I haven't bought any in more than 7 years, but the local BP station has it set at $3.99 but its been out of service since Sunday, the windstorm pretty much turned everything off. That place normally sells around 14,000 gallons a day, dunno where people had to go but power is still out all over.

I bought a full tank before the spike last week, and should be good for another week at least. I happened to notice that the gas stations were hovering around $4.19/gallon earlier today though.

Paying $3.67 today. I'm in a small town in the mountains. Down in the metro valley of Phoenix, I heard its around 10 cheaper.

$4.15/gallon. It sucks but I'm glad to know it's going for a good cause.

Houston, after Hurricane Ike, has relatively cheap gas (around $3.79 - up about 30-40 cents from prior to the hurricane) - the downside is you're going to have to wait a few hours to get to the pump. Only half the gas stations have electricity, and only half of those have gas. So it's common to see 20-30 cars waiting in line to use the pumps.

In my neck of the woods here in southern California (excuse me...Kull-ee-phone-ya) prices seemed to have held in the $3.50s range for ARCO, same as last week before Ike hit. But I filled up Monday night, and didn't pay attention if there might have been a spike around Saturday/Sunday.

back down to 3.69 here but still 20 cents higher before the spike.
