It is $2.43 at our grocery store, but with our card we pay $2.33.

But that's in the Southeast where prices are far reduced from the rest of the country.

In houston the highest prices are in my neighborhood.  That figures.  I could drive 50 miles and get a nickel off...

I have a Chevron Ex employee discount... just a few cents though.  Don't matter cause its too hot to drive anywhere....

We pay $163 a litre ... oh dear.  Maths.  One gallon is 3.79 litres so I think we're paying $6 a gallon.  That's the equivalent of US$3.79

We paid $1.13 a liter tonight for gas!!!  Pleased with my new Honda civic though - 433 km on $30 of gas (26.5 liters!!)  Works out to about 6 liters/100km. (I think!!) Not sure what the conversion is to mpg.

Sadly I think we pay $6.29 a gallon here.  One of you mathematical genius' can tell me if I'm right.  We pay $1.66 per litre here and 3.79 litres is equivalent to one gallon.  So you guys have REALLY cheap petrol!  It's a bad side effect of living so far away I guess - costs a lot to get it here.
