I can get diesel at my nearby Fastrip (yes they actually named it that) for 3.35 a gallon. Some stations are still trying to charge 3.99 a gallon. I can't imagine they do much volume at that price.

Today I saw $2.539 at an Arco in Sandy, OR (east of Portland).
In Oregon, Arco is usually the cheapest of the "name brands"...though usually/sometimes they make you go inside to pay (remember: no self-serve in Oregon), and if you pay with a card they usually/sometimes add $0.35 to the total.

I'm tentatively planning a cross-country/round-the-country road trip next fall, so I REALLY hope ga$ prices continue to drop!

Reg Gas - $2.29 at the Hillsboro Costco. $2.39 at Fred Meyer's in Newberg. I've seen Diesel from $2.59 to $2.89. I've seen news reports of $1.99 in the midwest. Sure helps the pocket book although I'm not sure what this means globally.
That does it, we're heading north for the holidays!Riverrunner said:

BACK ON TOPIC: Seriously, though... I may convince myself that I can afford another trip to southern Utah this spring -- two years in a row. (since the cost of gas is -- by far -- the biggest expense in camping travel, for me, anyway).
The only thing is...according to the Historical Gas Price chart function at GasBuddy (this is for Salt Lake City, but other cities yield similar trends), gas prices usually hit a minimum this time of year, so if 2015 is like the past 4 years prices won't be dropping, dropping, dropping as the year rolls on, except relative to previous years, maybe.

Sure does look repetitive. Better to take advantage of winter prices. Maybe it's time to go somewhere warmer than northern Oregon. We're thinking about a trip to Death Valley area sometime in late February early March unless I hear that that is not a good time.
