Gas prices (Cheyenne, Laramie, Gillette: taxes, to live in, food)

[tekape]

Woo hoo! The lowest price around here right now is $2.67!!! (pretty sad when we're cheering gas that's still above $2.50!)

I was so mad that I put gas in my truck the other day when it was still $3.10 and within a couple of days it was $2.90! Not sure what's truly going on with gas prices...but I won't complain, it's nice to get a break. I just wish food prices would get back in line....the other day on of the stores, a gallon of milk was $4.07!!!!! Holy moley! My kids drink about 4-5 gallons a week....it gets expensive.

Just wondering what it was doing around the rest of the state and how you all feel about it....

$2.95 is around the low point in the Cheyenne area, but it is "real" gasoline, no ethanol added.

IMO, we're still getting screwed, as friends report $2.75 in Colorado on the Front Range, which has higher per gallon taxes.

Here in Riverton it's $3.06, but where I used to live in SW MO, it's $2.37. My mom said that it's $2.09 where she lives in Ark.

I think it's a load of crap personally how high the prices got, considering the reason for the high gas prices in the first place was the crumbling economy, but it just hit it's lowest point and now gas prices are going down. Doesn't make much sense to me...

$2.69-2.59 in Minnesota right now so about average. Why is Fremont county so high?

You can go to gasbuddy.com and find the current price of gas anywhere. It lists by state, town, and station.

Filled up today - $3.11 Long Island NY.... Hopping prices will fall as low as it's falling in other parts of the country..........

I forgot to mention that if you have a Loaf & Jug (uses Smith's card), Albertson's or Safeway in your town you can get a 3 cent/gal. discount if you use the card at the pump. My daughter says that at Alb. in Laramie they don't even have to use the card. Here in Gillette Loaf & Jug is usually a penny to 3 cents lower than anywhere in town using the Smith's card.

I just got done driving through I 90 all through Montana, through Idaho, then Drove through Spokane, Wa, and down into Oregon.

They have higher taxes in Oregon for gas, and our prices in Wyoming are the same almost as Oregon. So something is us up in Wyoming, our prices should be considerably lower. Usually when my parents call I will ask every so often the gas over there, cause they are still in Oregon. There will usually be a 20-40 cent different at least.

Our prices should be lower, we don't have super high gas tax in Wyo, that I personally know of. I just don't get it.

Tax is what jacks the price up in Oregon I know for sure. So why are close to their prices is beyond me. Unless it is just Sheridan. I remember reading a few months back how Sheridan was high in price for gas.
Shockingly enough for one month a while ago Buffalo was cheaper than Sheridan, for like one month, and usually they are always a little bit more.

Anyways, for the price per barrel right now our gas is now coming down as fast and I think we are being ripped off from some where...

Part of the tax in Oregon, though, goes to someone else pumping your gas for you (for those who don't know...it's ILLEGAL to pump your own gas in the state of Oregon)!!! The year we lived out there, we got into trouble because we started to pump our own gas....the attendent freaked out and came running out of the building like we were going to blow up or something! Apparently, too many stupid people that live there, drove off with the pump still in their tank and broke lines (that, and they wanted to do a workforce investment and provide jobs for the kazillion people that live there)....hence the higher taxes.

But I agree with you...there is still something up in regards to our gas prices. It's all about greed!

Anyone remember paying less than $1 for a gallon of gas??? I sure do....the lowest I've ever paid for gas was $0.58/gallon!
