We live in Pa. & the gas is around $3.11, but we live near the Ohio border and get our gas in Ohio for $2.68. We live on a farm so use quite a bit.
 
Here on the Southern Oregon Coast, we were paying $2.85/gal in 2017 and it just recently increased to $3.17/gal -- at the "discount" station. "Name brands" are $3.30+
Even worse 4 miles south - the station in the first town over the state border (into Calif) is $4.00+
 
Topped off the pickup late yesterday afternoon and surprisingly gas has actually dropped 14¢ in the past couple of weeks......I paid $2.83 for non-ethanol regular unleaded.
 
My last trip to Chevron was $3.99/gal for the middle grade. I don't buy highest or lowest octane grade. Still, it's the cost of being allowed to live in California I guess :(? Don...
 
With the exception of a few days of "bubble" over the 4th of July, local prices have stayed between $2.49 to $2.59 pretty much all Summer. I did see $2.79 last week when we went to Kansas City for a couple of days, but I had plenty of gas in the car to avoid that.

Here in the Dallas area, I passed by a Kroger gas station today... sign said $2.59.

Fortunately, I drive a Honda Civic and everything I could ever need is within a 5 mile radius...
most of what I need is within 2 miles [three grocers within 2 miles, Kroger, Walmart and Aldi...
lots of restaurants... and CVS, Dollar General, Family Dollar, 99 Cent Store, etc.]

Personally, not a damn cent. We went down to a single car after DH retired. A Chevy Bolt. A 100% Electric car. At the rate we drive now, I only need to charge it once every couple weeks...and then it is only down about half, usually. Rick figured that it costs between $3 and $5 to charge. We get between 250 and 300 miles of range on a full charge. I will charge it tomorrow, as weekends are off peak. To charge it from just under half charge to full takes about 4 hours. DH put in a 240 plug and got a heavy duty charging unit.

But, that being said, I drove by a gas station here in Western NY today, and gas was about $2.85 a gallon.
