Remember all the prices depend on if you're paying cash or paying with credit. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $2.75 per gallon while the highest was $5.09 per gallon.

Even the national price of gas is down this week

GasBuddy officials say the national average price of gasoline has fallen 11.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.09 per gallon Monday.
"The national average for a gallon of gasoline is down nearly $2 compared to six months ago, and heading into Christmas travel week, is at its lowest in a year and a half, saving Americans some $750 million every day," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "While the decline should take the national average under $3 per gallon in the next week or so, it is soon likely to fade as oil prices have held in the $70 per barrel range. But while the declines for gasoline may fade, diesel prices still have considerable ground to cover, and could fall another 50 cents or more in the weeks ahead. Fuel prices across the board have been plunging back into territory more Americans feel is normal, which could certainly boost economic sentiment going forward."
