looks like about 2.49 pretty widespread around here (on the SE side, NW side is still around 2.55-2.60). pretty decent considering it's about to be labor day weekend.

how's dallas? that's where i'm headin this weekend

i've noticed that gas prices are always significantly higher in lubbock probably because of the trucking distances

national average sittin at 2.77 for the holiday weekend... so we've gone down $0.45 since the doomsday scares of a few months ago. i'm guessing we'll see $2.25 (locally here in houston, maybe not the nat average) before the year is out unless some disaster happens.
