$2.14 here in LaCrosse this morning. I might put just enough in to get me down there and wait until I get to Mauston to fill the tanks this weekend if it doesn't come down here in the mean time.
$1.74 here. My annual trip to PA to hunt normally cost me about $300 just in gasoline. This year my total cost was $158 for the week.
I grew up working in my father's service station. This was back when an attendant filled your tank, washed your windows and checked your oil every time. I can remember $.24 per gallon. I can also remember Dad arguing with our supplier when gas hit $.40 per gallon that nobody could afford it at that price.
Fox valley area of wi some stations have dropped to $2.19 while some are still at $2.29. Looking forward to having more cash left driving to the cabin and hunting land.
When I first started driving gas was .60/gal then the oil embargo hit and it jumped to 1.30 and I thought that was bad because I was driving a 76 F-250 that got 8-10mpg, not much cruising or not much other stuff.

8-10 in your truck wasn't bad. I had a 70 Buick GS with a 455 punched out .060, heads shaved .010 & a big cam. I was lucky to get 6 mpg but that thing sure did go. Gas wasn't at 57.9 then either when I got the car in 72.
The lowest I ever remember seeing was $0.89/gallon. This was in the late 90's in Northern Indiana very near the oil refineries. At that time it was even $0.99/gallon in the Chicago Suburbs but quite a bit more within the city limits.
I worked at a service station during the summer of '86 and pumped a lot of gas at between .87 and .93 cents a gallon. The 104 octane "race gas" we used in our snowmobiles was $1.17. I can remember back into the mid 70's when we traveled from Kenosha to Juneau Co every weekend, gas was around .59 cents a gallon.
