This is another fun thread that originated in my old Hall of Justice Forum is to compare Gas Prices everywhere here in United States and Abroad. So, let's all share our gas prices today and share whether it's going up and/or down.
I will start now ...
In my own Backyard/South Seattle Area - My Gas Price is 3.61 per gallon of which I filled up my tank this morning before I had coffee at Starbucks.

Yesterday while driving by Sam's Club, I saw that the price for regular at the Murphy Oil (whose CEO I once interviewed & profiled for Arkansas Business during my short-lived tenure there back in the days of yore, but I digress) was $3.01; prices at other stations ranged from $3.09-$3.15. They seem to have settled in at the higher amount since then.

In the suburban area of Pittsburgh, PA where I live, one gallon of 87 octane is at $3.45 right now. This has been trending downward for the past 3 months or so, from a high around $3.70.
We have higher prices in PA largely due to a cap on gas taxes being lifted at the beginning of this year by our governor to raise money for infrastructure projects (bridges primarily, but also roads), as these items have long been neglected in the state. When I travel to my brother-in-law's place on the western side of Ohio, I can usually get gas for about $.25/gallon cheaper than I can at home.

I think it's around $3.65 for premium, but with my Kroger card it's $2.65.

The station I passed on the way home from work last night was at $3.29, but we will see come Thursday, which is when prices usually change in the area what it will be, I have seen it jump $.25-40 cents in a given week but it usually only drops by $.05-$.10 when it goes down, so it will spike one week, then maybe go up for a wek or two, then start to come down slowly, then spike agaid, rinse, repeat ad infinitum.

Ah ... the never-to-be-forgotten Arkansas Chuggabug.
I think the tricycle in your avatar would be the better bet.

Drove past a sign saying $3.33, that was the lowest price I noticed. Averaging around $3.45 for regular.
