Gas prices in Mississippi, Louisana & Georgia

[kellsco]

Getting ready to drive through Mississippi, Louisana and Georgia on the way to PPIV. It's about $1.70 here in New Mexico and about the same as that in Texas.

Is there anyone that is in those states that can let me know what the gas prices are now? For unleaded and super unleaded. What has been the trend the past few days? Are the prices still rising or have they been stable a few days?

Thanks much!

Well, I am not sure what's the exact cost, but gas in GA is considerably cheaper than South Florida....
At prog power 2 we fueled up for .98! LAst year we paid around 1.25...
I believe it's somewhere around 1.50 this time, since downhere it's around 1.70 and it is usally 20 cents cheaper.......

Up here in Michigan (near Detroit) it's up to about $1.88. That aint right...


Hopefully that doesn't last long and it will get back "down" to the $1.70 mark or lower.

Good call, Angrafan!

Last week I filled up for a buck-fifty per gallon.

A couple of weeks before that, it was a buck-twenty-five, but somehow the pipeline rupture in AZ became an excuse to gouge us here in Georgia...

Well here in south Mississippi, the gas prices are about $1.40. I don't know about north Mississippi.

Man, gas prices in US are cheap as hell. In Germany, and most of Europe, you would pay over $5 per gallon!!! Luckily public transportation over there is very efficient and the countries are very small, thus people are not as dependent on cars as Americans. If gas was as expensive here I would fly to Atlanta instead of driving.

Well, the reason gas and many other things are so expensive in Europe is that the pseudo-socialist systems there need such extreme amounts of funding - and high gas taxes are a great way of doing that since you absolutely HAVE to use gas. Georgia has some of the lowest taxes on gas out of all the states, and that is precisely why you see the state to state disparity. Me, I still say its too taxed! If you look into it, alot of high gas taxes are partially on behalf of environmentalist groups, especially when I lived in KY, big fuss about that. Damn hippies...I'm done. But yes, gas will be cheap here for most of you!

Oops! I forgot Alabama. Guess I was trying to cut a few hours off the drive.

gas in new orleans is around 1.60 a gallon. Not too bad compared to other parts.
