I figure we might as well have a thread to post cheap gas prices - if there already is one, shoot me.

I can't remember what brand it was, but somewhere near the Chantilly post office I saw a gas station with regular grade gas for $2.75 a gallon.

Anybody seen anything better?

NBC4 mentioned this link on Thursday's 4 o' clock news...you can search gas prices by zip code, and it seems to work pretty well.

Hess is routinely the cheapest place in the NOVA area.

Coscto. $2.50. But that's in Winchester....

you have to have a costco membership, so no spur-of-the moment price shopping.

There are people who are not Costco members? How shocking! :)

I get my gas at Costco regularly and there are a LOT of people who
are non-members. They just "ask" the drivers waiting in line behind
them to swipe their membership cards.

However, some Costco gas stations aren't that much cheaper than nearby
gas stationns these days. A difference of 1 or 2 pennies per gallson isn't
enough to make me drive the extra 2 miles to get gas from Costco.
In fact, on Tuesdays, the Sunoco near me gives a 6-cent discount per gallon
of premium... making it actually 3 cents per gallon cheaper than Costco's
premium gas.

Lately a lot of the stuff that Costco sells cost more than
the same stuff you get at Giant(groceries) and BestBuy(electronics).

I never actually thought to do that, good idea

My problem with them is the lines, the costco in sterling is the only one I know of with gas (and have easy access to), and the lines are always long as a motherfucker during the day, and since costco's hours suck, they are closed by the time I can go anyway.

Not that it matters for me, I work graveyard shift at a noc and my commute is ten miles in a straight line down 28, going against rush hour. I fill my tank once every two weeks and I am good.

I stopped using costco for groceries because the selection sucks and the place always seems full of wide-eyed foreigners figuring out how to maneuver their cart properly, and never succeeding. The electronics deals there have not been good for more than ten years... they just can't do the volume to justify discounting at that level. Not to mention they have a horrible reputation for service on those items.

Go to Virginiagasprices.com
You can pick any city in the U S and find out what gas is going for

I usually go over to woodbridge, gas is usually 9 cents or so cheaper. There's a mobil by the 95 and Jeff Davis Highway that usually has the cheapest in that area.

Stuff in city of Manassas or PW county on Liberia has cheap gas. I used to go to the BP just over the Rt 29 bull run bridge, but a lot of forign people started going there and they cranked up prices and there's always a line.

There's a Conoco gas station on 123 Ox road in Lorton which almost always has the cheapest gas in the area - 93 Premium was $2.99 on Friday. I drive there daily, seems like Wed and Thu are the cheapest days there.

As for Costco, I've discovered that their pump may not check whether your membership is current. This happened to me in Sterling - I've purchased gas ok and then went to do some shopping and at checkout it turned out my membership had expired. I've asked cashier if it was correct since I was able to buy gas 5 mins before, and she said their pumps don't check for expiration. YMMV of course.

all the gas stations in c-ville are cheaper than 2.99 right now, manssas stations are really low too.

By area I ment Lorton/South FFX. Manassas has always been cheap, but quite a distance for many.

lorton is also quite a distance for many, not sure I see your point

My point is if you live in or drive by FFX South/Lorton, the Conoco gas station on 123 is the place to buy gas.

Ok, then my point was that if you live in Centreville, Manassas, or surrounding areas, ANY gas station is the place to go get gas...

2.72 a gallon, lortoners are being ripped off, which is nothing new, look at all the expensive houses there that were built on top of toxic waste lol.

2.72 for Premium?

lorton aint too far to PW county, just go to potomac mills and pick up things you need at same time

I went to manassas the other day and saw regular for 2.65. I filled up at the Exxon across the street from Bowl America yesterday for 2.75.

in orlando they were happy it came down to 4.90 from 5 bucks
so im not complainin that much anymore

When I was in miami gas was about 3.00

Gainesville 2.49

Manassas on the corner of liberia and the prince william parkway reg is 2:45 and premium is 2.65

front royal, linden, haymarket and points west all have gas for about 2.39 a gallon. Price gouging suckas cant gouge the hillbillies as much

Lucketts and Leesburg: 2.45-2.65

Lee Highway in Arlington has six or seven stations within spitting distance of each other. The generic-brand station is $2.54 at the moment (the one at the corner of Lee Highway and Illinois St).
