After topping $3 a gallon, average gas prices continued to plunge last week, falling to the lowest levels since Hurricane Katrina damaged Gulf Coast oil refineries.
"November is going to be somewhat of a weak month," Kloza says.
He predicts the price will bottom out between $2.10 and $2.35 a gallon nationwide, and is sticking to a prediction he made last week that gas could fall below $2 a gallon in some states.
The cheapest statewide average: Oklahoma's $2.14, according to travel club AAA.
Hawaii had the highest prices, averaging $3.01 a gallon.

$2.09 here
$4.52 a gallon here in Galena, Alaska
Good thing I don't own anything that needs gasoline or oil products [room and board paid and I drive a company truck or I walk]
$2.03 at a BP in Des Moines.
Hubby paid $2.29 in Austin.
Say that three times real fast!
$2.15-2.16 here in Northeastern Ohio, at least outside of the City of Cleveland. Even less if you shop at certain grocery chains that give rebates on gasoline.
As ever, the cure for high prices is...high prices.
Supply and demand, I see.
A lot of us work 6 months paying TAXES; and then some p!ss and moan about gasoline prices?!
(shaking head and rolling eyes)
Examples of the free market and it's wonderful. Gas in europe over 6.00 a gallon and those idiots think that's ok. It's mostly taxes to finance 35 hour work???? week, six weeks of vacation, years for unemployment insurance, national health care???? Total socialism {communism}. Give up your money to the gummint and they will take care of you. Nah, I'll take it our way. You pays your nickel, you takes your chances.
Hawaiian Economics and price controls
In a repeat of legislative history, Hawaii has shown that its politicians are neither historians nor economists.
They contradict themselves, saying on one hand that they would like incentives for new sources of energy to be developed. Then, on the other hand, they would like for oil to be cheaper.
Rather than allowing market forces to negotiate the optimum levels, those supporting the price controls believe that they are the most qualified to make such decisions.
Another example of central planning at its best.

$2.41 in Rock Hill,SC
Off to search engines Robin....
1/2 mile from the refinery that makes it...2.59 gal regular unleaded.
It isn't just Europe. I was in Canada a week ago and gas was going for almost $4.00 Canadian per gallon (even after convering from liters to gallons)...that is, even at current exchange rates, well over $3.50 US per gallon. We managed to get back into the US before refueling, even at New York state rates. Those regulated, planned economies work so well, don't they?
BUSH'S FAULT lol ;)
"After topping $3 a gallon, average gas prices continued to plunge last week, falling to the lowest levels since Hurricane Katrina damaged Gulf Coast oil refineries. "
They cannot even make that sound good.
Must be Bush's fault.
On October 30 2005 (8:30pm), a BP station located on Route 8 in Ohio was charging $2.03 a gallon. This station is located East of I-271. You should have seen the lines at the pumps. Would have stopped if my tank were not full.
Averaging $2.41 for regular her in Dallas.
