I was just out for a quick grocery shopping trip when I passed a nearby gas station and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I must be seeing things. Surely that's not really right.
But no, the sign was very clearly advertising gas for $1.99 a gallon.
$1.99 a gallon!!
Now that is certainly something to get excited about! With many prices on the rise, it is exceptionally nice to see gas prices falling… and falling at such a rapid rate! Wow!
I've heard that gas prices are close to the lowest in the nation where we live but I'm curious if anyone else has seen gas go below $2/gallon in their area? If not, hopefully you'll be seeing it soon!
I was told the state I live has the lowest gas price…..but I guess it’s not true!!! our gas is still $2.25 🙁
We are in Hurst, which is right outside of Fort Worth (where we work) and I’ve seen it as low as $2.29 close to downtown FW. I managed to fill up for just under $30 the other day (I did have a quarter tank already). They are having “gas wars” just south of here in Burleson though (as a previous commenter said), and it was on the news the other night that gas was $1.96 and falling there!!
I bought it for 1.97 in Oklahoma City on Monday. I think it’s nearly that low in Independence, MO.
$2.43 in Groton, Connecticut! I hope to see $1.99 sometime!!
October 15th it was $2.99 and on October 1st it was $3.68. I can’t believe it has gone down $1.25 in just 4 weeks. I LOVE it!
$1.96 here in the Springfield area!
I just filled up this morning for $2.79 a gallon here in North County San Diego. I’m pretty happy that it’s that low!
$1.97 in West Des Moines, Iowa. Plus I purchased it at the grocery store where you get 9cents off on Thursdays with a $30 receipt from the store plus an extra 5cents off if you pay in cash===$1.83–AWESOME!
$2.34 in SW Michigan
it’s $2.44-2.49 here in elizabethtown, pa(near hershey, lancaster, and harrisburg). i have heard that in a nearby town, some gas stations are selling it for under $2.00.
$2.39 in hershey/Harrisburg, PA
I saw it today in Streetsboro Ohio for $1.98. But there was a huge waiting line. Still a great deal!
A couple of days ago on CNN I saw an Alpharetta, GA station that had gas at $1.79!
It’s still in the $2.30s to $2.40s here in East Central Alabama.
I live in Midlothian, Texas and I had to go about 30-45 minutes away to Cleburne, TX and got gas for $1.98/ gallon. I think this is just awesome!
Sometimes it stinks to live in the Chicago area…we’re still around $3.25.
Dear Crystal,
In a certain part of Ohio it was 1.99 too.
Lulu
Last night my husband and I filled up fro $1.92 gl.
We live in the Houston area and my husband works for a software company that products services for the oil/gas industry. I never thought I’d come to the day where I didn’t want to see gas prices drop – but being that I am a SAHW and my husband brings home all the income I’m scared to see the prices fall so much…
If prices continue to fall and gas/oil industry does not make money on the gasoline, people, such as my husband will lose their jobs because the gas/oil industry will not want to pay for “extra” services.
So, yes, I’m loving these cheap gas prices, but very scared as well…
$2.62/gal unleaded in sunny Phoenix. And to think, I thought that was a fabulous deal!
Still $2.69 here in PA. The only way to get it cheaper right now is to go to the grocery stores offering gas discounts. Sigh. And to think that I can recall when it was under $1 a gallon!
In the Charleston, WV area, it was $2.79 yesterday…hoping it’s dropped even more by today. A few months ago, we were paying $4.25, so I’ll take it! Hoping it will stay this way awhile…
Brandi
i filled up for $1.83 a gallon in central indiana! woo hoo!
2.89 in Walnut Creek, CA (west of SF) 🙂
Gas here in NW Ohio is 2.20. Don’t think it is going to stay this low too much longer. My husband was saying the oil companies will be lowering production next month causing more demand and you know what that means…higher gas prices. We’ll have to wait and see.
whats up with $4.49 in Alaska?!?!?!
$2.47 in the Milwaukee, WI area (yesterday). Still way to high but a much appreciated decrease!
Crystal, back in your previous town, it’s at about $2.05, but accross the state line, I got it for $1.98 last night.
WOW, I am so excited!
Remember this site?
http://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasStations.aspx?m=1&l=1&zip
You can plug in your zip and find it the cheapest in your area! Thanks!
I LOVE your site!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! $1.96-1.99 in Richmond, VA. I actually had a dream last night that gas prices got down to $.99 – and I had to go out and take a picture of the gas sign!!!
$2.49 and holding in Ohio. I can’t wait for it to drop!!!
In Augusta, Georgia the gas prices have dropped to $2.42…hopefully they will keep going down!!
Central KY is ranging around 2.18-2.29, but some of the burbs have dipped below the $2 mark. Then we still have some random stations around charging 2.69… go figure
It’s around $1.97 in southwestern Iowa.
$1.89 in parts of san antonio, unfortunately not my part.! I am still seeing about 2.09.
$2.69 in north-central Pennsylvania. Which is a big improvement over the $3+ gas we’ve had until just a couple weeks ago. I’ll keep hoping that we eventually drop below the $2 mark too!
I’m in NC too (like some above). I don’t know that we’ll ever get below the $2 mark, though I did buy gas for $2.44 yesterday–and felt pretty good about it, relatively speaking!
But NC has an automatic gas tax increase, which our lovely state legislators refuse to repeal or even delay, regardless of natural disasters, economic recessions, or any other hardship on the people. The state gas tax goes up on a regular basis several times a year, so even if the price of oil drops, it will never reach the same lows it has in the past. Got to continue to feed the bloated and not-accounted-for DOT budget, you know.
$2.14 in Virginia Beach, VA
My father in law called a couple of days ago to report that their gas in Grand Junction Colorado is $1.78! They’ve always been about $.30 higher than we are here in Iowa. I paid $1.97 two days ago! YAY!
~Jennifer K
$2.03 in Columbus, OH!
We have 2.15-2.26 in Columbus Ohio (on the north and east sides of the city, not sure about the other areas)
$2.09 in the Charlotte, NC area.
$2.69 here in Pittsburgh, PA.
Aw, man!!! I can’t remember the last time we saw $1.99 in California! Right now in the Central Valley it’s ~$2.69 for the cheap stuff.
In Mukilteo/Everett (north of Seattle) it’s about $2.55!
$2.21 in Montgomery, Alabama. It fell ten cents overnight.
Still at 2.59 in South Western Washington! I’d love to see it drop below 2.00!
Here in St. Joseph, Missouri (where the Pony Express began) we hit $1.97 today. I did the same thing when I saw $1.99 when I was running errands this afternoon. I was elated to say the least. I pray that it stays the same after the election.
It was $1.95 in Missouri today!
$2.19 Central Wyoming!
If only there was a way to stockpile gas! Wow! You are sooo lucky. $2.79 still here in Chicago. We are just glad to FINALLY be under $3.
The cheapest gas i have seen today was $ 2.04. its like the gas stations are competing who got the cheapest gas lately….lol
I just ran down to Kwik Shop for a gallon of milk and gas was $1.99 here in South Central Kansas also!! I can’t even remember the last time it was this low!
$1.95 here in central Oklahoma! 🙂
I had to call my husband yesterday: “Honey!! Guess what!! Gas!! It’s less than two dollars a gallon!!” He went and took a picture. 😛
Around $2.79 in south Fl. I am enjoying it while I can…until elections are over. Yay!
In our area of Cincinnati, OH, we saw one gas station at $1.99 (though our area doesn’t usually have the cheapest gas) but most were about $2.07. That’s what it is at Kroger and with the 20 cents off, you can get it for $1.87- so exciting!!
Wow! I would love to see that! We are at $2.59, Wa State.
$1.97 a gallon in Central Iowa! Lovin’ it!!
At 7:00 pm tonight in Dixon, IL
$2.59 at Mobile
$2.59 at BP
It has been dropping 2 to 3 times a day here…a couple of cents here, a couple of cents there. But hey no matter how small of a drop I AM SO THANKFUL!!
$1.89 at our corner gas station in Independence, MO.
We have diesel trucks so you know its bad but today its down to 2.95 Woo Hoo!!!!! in Kentucky
It’s 1.98 here in Springfield,Mo!
Its $2.57 here in Eastern, Ky.
Wow! I heard on the radio a couple of years ago that if you ever see gas below $2 a gallon again you should take a picture! It was $2.15 at Kroger today in Cincnnati, which would have made it $2.05 with the Kroger card. I almost took a picture of that!!
I saw gas for $1.99 tonight here in Indianapolis. I was PSYCHED!
I do agree with a PP poster though. Once the election is over (depending on who wins) it may shoot back up. We shall see….
It’s $2.55 in Cental Alabama! I’m hoping it will below $2 soon!!
It’s down to $1.95 today just north of Cincinnati! And lastl month it was over $4.00?!?
I live in Forney, TX and our gas is $2.13. Looking forward to gas below $2!!
i seen it for $1.98 this afternoon here in SW Missouri
$2.27 here in Central Illinois
No way! I got excited to see it down to $2.73 here in Northern NH!
It’s $2.13 in central Texas right now. The bad news is that this is the beginnings of a financial tsunami. It very well may shoot up to $7 a gallon within a year or two. Sorry to put a damper on the excitement, but I want folks to be informed.
This is what I’ve read anyway. Because of the bailout and the economy, threatening recession or depression, these low prices are like the beginnings of a tsunami where the tide goes way out, the water is sucked from the beach. Then the power of the wave is gathered together and comes barrelling in, devouring everything on land. We need to be hopeful, but also prepare ourselves for financial hardship to come. Please read one of Ron Paul’s websites or some of Chuck Baldwin’s articles. Baldwin is running for President, by the way. 🙂
God bless you all! Gina
I bought gas last night for $1.95 in Raymore, MO.
it is 1.89 with the kroger discount here in the cincy area(fairfield/hamilton)

I’m in southern MO and it is $1.96 here. I never thought I would see it below $2 again in my lifetime.
Wow! We’re at $2.75 in Central CA and I thought it was great.
I got excited tonight seeing it at $2.10/gal here in the DFW area.
$2.45 today in Knoxville, Tn. Let’s not tell OPEC lest they jack up the price!
Yikes! I thought we were doing good at $2.83! We’re about 20 miles south of Rocherter, NY. Another half hour away and they a good $0.30 cheaper!
We’re at $1.99 too in parts of Northern Cincinnati. It feels good!!
Just filled up at Sam’s Club for $1.91 in Texoma (on the Texas/OK border)
In Upstate South Carolina it dropped to $1.76 in some places. The avaerage cost of gas though is $2.14. Can’t beat falling gas prices! We hit $5+ after the last hurricane!

$1.96 – Cincinnati, OH
Avon Lake at Crocker Bassett was $1.92….I almost had a heart attack….makes having an SUV not such a big deal…yippeeee!!
I live in Oklahoma and the gas dropped to $1.99 a few days ago. Was I ever excited!! I am very happy.
I’m in central Pennsylvania and it just went down to 2.59 today. I was tickled when the subaru took less than 30.00 to fill it.
It’s at $2.20 in Amarillo, Texas. We’re praying it goes down to $1.80 like in Indiana!
$2.39 in northern Indiana (South Bend vicinity).
Just 3-4 weeks ago, gas was $4.25 here in north GA.
Tonight on the way home it was $2.29 at the Kroger.
That’s $2.00 less than a month ago!! At that rate it’ll be free next month. Too bad it doesn’t work that way, huh?
still $2.45 in Nashville, TN
I’m in Northern Virginia, outside of DC, and it’s $2.77/gal.
Here in Tennessee we were at $1.97 today. I thought I had misread the sign. But gladly, I wasn’t!
Smiles, Lea
It’s $2.19 in Clarkston and Troy, Michigan.
Isn’t it amazing? We have had the under $2 mark for a couple of days now here in Cincinnati, it is a beautiful thing!
West Central Florida (30 miles south of Ocala) 2.44 today. Not bad – but I’m wishing for some 1.99. I can’t remember the last time gas was 1.99!
A week ago it was $1.98 in Harlingen, Texas. It now has made it to my town at $1.99. Hooray!
The local Kroger has regular gas priced at $1.97, and if you have $100 in purchases accumulated on your Kroger Plus card you’ll get a gallon for $1.87
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here in Oklahoma City gas is at 1.99 or less at some gas stations. We were really excited to fill up at this price! I like seeing the falling gas prices.
Its 2.35 in Effingham IL. I hope it keeps going and going!!! Its nice to catch a break somewhere finally!!!!
I just paid 2.37 in Central VA, today.. I can only hope for under 2.00 again! I have to fill a 30 gal. tank!!!
Now we need food prices to reflect the falling gas prices!
Ours here in east Texas is around 2.19, but a friend said they found it for 1.80in the Dallas area!!! Keep those prices falling!
2.59 a gallon if FL
I don’t think it will be lower for much longer after the presidential elections are over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just checked out our local news web site and it is showing the cheapest area price is 2.39…Boy do I hope it hits 1.99! That would be awesome!
Whoa! Tennessee (Nashville area at least) must be falling behind. We’re still at $2.59. And I thought that was good, ha ha!
we are in the southeast area of washington state and we are around 2.67 a gallon. can’t wait to see it get lower 🙂
Here in Seattle, we’re thrilled to see prices lower than $3.00 a gallon!
In my town in central Iowa, we’re at 2.04. Just 10 miles south, it’s 1.99.
In the town where my sister lives, it’s 1.97!
$2.97 CA. LOL. I really don’t mind gas price being $2.97/ gallon as long as it stays this way. Don’t want to see gas price going up over $4.00 again.
$2.59 in mesa arizona
It’s $1.99 here in south central Kansas. Was $2.04 this morning and by this evening it had dropped to $1.99.
It is $2.19 here in Detroit, MI (and as low as $2.03 in surrounding areas). E85 is $1.79; too bad my car doesn’t take it.
Gas is at a rock bottom “low” of $3.08/gallon here in Buffalo, NY!!!
Here in NW Indiana it’s still at $2.50. As exciting as it seems, the dropping gas prices will have a negative effect on the economy in the long run. We can’t win!
NE Oklahoma is about 2.05, but that’s for the cruddy 10% ethanol blend that’s everywhere here now. It’s in almost all gas stations and cuts our mpg’s by as much as 30% for some people. I lose about 5 mpg’s in my Civic. So, we have to pay anywhere from 10 to 25 cents more for 100% gasoline. Not sure who the current form of ethanol is really helping. Definitely not us w/o flex fuel cars whose normal cars get gunked up over time from the “acceptable amount” of up to 10%. Sigh.
$2.09 in Minnesota!
We are around 2.70 here in the Seattle area
Wow that is wonderful news. I was out today and I saw it for 2.29 but if I could find it for 1.99 that would be great! Julie – CouponSavingFamily.com
I’ve seen it at $1.99 – $2.19 in our area…SW Ohio. Depends on the neighborhood here! Our monthly gasoline bill might just be lower than groceries this month!!??!!
Erin
I live in NC, but saw this on our local news in a “gas price” story. They were talking about places in the MidWest that had prices under 2 bucks. That’s awesome!
I for one can’t wait for the prices to get lower here in NC. Especially since I drive a car that must use premium gas! Send that cheap gas our way, please!!
Seems like everyone is asking this question this week.
I’m paying $4.49 – in Alaska.
I was visiting family in Bonham, TX this weekend (90 miles from Dallas), and it was $1.97!
Aaargh! In California we’re just excited that it’s gone below $3 a gallon for the first time in years. At its peak a few months ago it was $4.67 a gallon at the cheap gas station!
I filled up my Jeep at $2.06 here in South Texas today!! 🙂
I just saw gas today for $2.95 and that is on the Central Coast of California. We always are so expensive here so $2.95 is wonderful!! Can’t wait to see how far it will drop.
We’re at $1.96 near Richmond VA – yeah!
~~Central Florida~~ The gas is about 2.47 a gallon. When we were in Ocala Florida this weekend ( Ocala is about 60 miles north of Orlando) the gas was 2.20 a gallon.
Am looking forward to seeing the price going under 2.00 a gallon.
We’re still around $2.25 here in Virginia… but we may as well enjoy it while we can! It’s better than celebrating over $3.99 gas!
We’re at 2.29 here in central New Jersey
gas was $1.99 at HEB this morning 🙂 very nice!
San Antonio TX
Jamie lea

In So Cal it’s at $2.79, which is great for us! Enjoy the cheaper gas!
$2.04 in Ypsilanti, MI !!!
I am in Fort Worth paying $2.15 but Burleson only a few miles away is $1.97. With an Explorer every penny adds up quick!
San Francisco Penisula…$3.15 is the lowest I’ve seen. CA rates are always some of, if not THE, highest in the nation….I’ll be happy if they go below $3!!
Crystal, are you in the South? I remember when I lived in Georgia, I paid $.99/gallon and it used to cost me $10 to fill up the tank of my little Civic. I am in Chicagoland and it is $2.79 today!

We are at $2.25 here in Lafayette Indiana, but according to the news there are some places around Indianapolis that are $1.99. This is wonderful news!
It’s still around $2.50 here in West Michigan!
Down to $1.88 today in parts of Central Indiana!
WOW, I can’t wait for that here – we are about 1 week behind everyone else – time to crank over the ole one ton truck and get her to town for fueling – seriously – we have run her on fumes trying to hold out for cheap gas!
