$1.85 for Gas...Wow!

I got gas this morning for $1.95 per gallon and thought that was great. Then later today I saw gas for $1.85. Only months ago we were paying well over $4 a gallon (I always said if the prices went over $4 I'd refuse to pay that, but unfortunately I had no choice). The prices are steadily dropping. I'm just wondering what the gas prices are in other areas? Please share. We're in Southern California.

We're smack dab in the middle of the country in Kansas and yesterday when I was in town gas prices were $1.62!!!!!!!!! And if you use your Kroger card you get up to $0.10 off per gallon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We've been going down anywhere from 5 cents to 15 cents per week here for the last several weeks! It sure makes you wonder...why??? I'm not knocking it! I just wonder what has truly changed?!?

$2.04 at Costco in Honolulu!
It is a miracle! My dad keeps track in a little book and he looked it up -the last time we were that low here was in 2004!

It is awesome. We are used to always being the highest and it not going down when it goes down in the Mainland, so this is incredible. I filled up my Pathfinder for $36!
