Utahpablo - the article didn't say we have the cheapest station, just that we have the cheapest AVERAGE. I filled up yesterday in Salt Lake City for $2.60, so my price must be balancing out yours.

Utah is NOT the lowest price in the nation abc, do some research at www.gasbuddy.com and check out Mesquite Nevada, they are at $2.72 a gallon at many stations, we live in Washington Utah, some 40 miles north of Mesquite, and still pay $2.91, and Mesquite has been cheaper for over two months now, like .50 a gallon until a few weeks ago. yet Mesquite is still lower than Las Vegas Nevada ( $2.95 a gallon today ) and why is this? As Mesquite is in the middle of nowhere! Do they have a secret gas pipeline we don't know about? Can't be taxes as they are in the same state, so price gouging has to be the answer. How about a story on that abc4?

It's pretty hard for guys my age to get all excited about $2.90/gal. gas when, for the majority of my life, ethyl sold routinely for $0.28 9/10 and regular was $0.24 9/10 per gallon, with diesel about ten cents cheaper than regular. In those days you could even buy 100-octane aviation fuel for about 50 cents per gallon, when octane ratings weren't determined by the so-called "RM+2" method as appears on gas pumps today. I doubt very much the high-compression engines of the late 1950's through the 1970's would even run on the unleaded, phosphorous-free gasolines that are sold today at prices deemed to be a bargain when selling for less than $3.00 per gallon. The fact that "Utah [is currently] home to the lowest gas prices in the nation" is hardly anything to brag about to those of us who can remember when times were much better.
