Exactly. I still see gas stations with $3.00 + gas as it will take them a while to go through it. Sam's Club had the best prices in the recent decline, but lately, my local gas station has the same price $2.35 for Regular. Premium is $2.55.
I still have gas at home which I purchased for $3.80, anyone interested?
