It's around $1.69 to $1.79 here in the Piedmont Triad (High Point, NC).

Oil is being overproduced right now. Market forces will drive the price low enough to push less efficient producers out of the market. Then it will start going up again.

Some reasons:

• America is producing more oil and importing less these days. This puts downward pressure on foreign oil prices.

• Our neighboring countries are producing more oil.

• The dollar is very strong right now, making foreign oil less expensive for Americans.

• We're lifting sanctions on Iran. They plan to dump about 500 or more billion barrels of oil on the world market in the next year.

• China's economy is cooling down, so they're using less oil.

• Government mandated efficiency rules have slowly lifted the average gas mileage of vehicles sold in the USA. More and more cars are equipped with hybrid drive trains. Conventional engines and drive trains are getting more efficient, AND more powerful.

• 2015 was a record year for car sales, meaning lots of older, more inefficient cars and trucks were replaced by newer, more efficient ones.

• The economy continues to suck, despite what the folks in Washington want to mislead you to believe. Only some sectors are doing better... Others are doing worse.

I'm sure there are other reasons oil prices are getting hammered. As usual, a combination of factors pushes prices up and down over time. Predicting demand for gasoline is complex macroeconomic analysis, depending on many factors.

I was also going to suggest gasbuddy. In 1966 I paid $.09 in Hamton, Va, they were having a gas war. When it clicked off that is all they would give you. Paid around $.28 in 1968 while going to BYU, but was only making $1.15 per hour.

My inflation calculator tells me that $2.00 in 1950 is worth $20.11 now. That isn't an accurate reflection of the inflation of gas prices, but rather, the economy as a whole.

Lots of folks now buy $20 worth of gas in cash, at stations where they can get a cash discount.

I do remember gas costing $.22 a gallon at some stations in Greensboro, NC, in the early 1960s. Following the inflation calculator, that's about $1.74 now. So gas prices, adjusted for inflation, are about what they were around here in the early to mid-'60s. (A marketplace basket of other goods and services cost about 1/8 then, what it does now. Of course, working folks made about 1/8 what they do now, too.)

My wife and I can fill up our Priuses for around $18 to $20 right now. :lol:

Just my insight of decades of observation. At some point in the future people will see the big picture, The Big oil the
Saudi sheik's will recover more than what we have saved on oil. Be patient it will come.

In Oshawa, east ot Toronto, gas is 89.9 but that is for a litre. It works out to about $3.60 per US gallon. Still it is better than the $1.39 per litre we were paying. or about $5.60 per gallon.

Voters approved a separate hike in sales tax for road repair last November. They are doing a good job with it so far.
