We passed a station at $1.85 this morning. Down near my office, it is usually a few cents cheaper. They maybe under $1.80 by now. I need to fill up tomorrow so I'll check.
I just passed Wal-Mart today and if you use one of their gift cards, it's $1.71/gallon. If you're a "member" is down to about $1.67 I think. We can fill up with $20 again; it's VERY exciting!
