I paid $3.65 per gallon a couple of days ago. Here in Washington State we have high taxes on gasoline.

We don't let our tanks go completely empty. One of our vehicles can be $75. Ridiculous! Thankfully we only drive it three times/week, but the trip is 75 miles round trip.
Here regular is about $3.41, but we only use super unleaded. (DH used to make gas at a refinery and knows that it's the only gas that is best for our cars...90 octane or better, he says).

NOT good. We fill up at around 1/2 tank so it does not hurt so much. Our Yukon is our market vehicle so we only use it two, to three times/week, thankfully.
Our other car and truck are much better on gas.....Thank God!

I have considered dusting off my bike. But it's very hilly here and the highway I'd have to travel to get to the store is narrow with shoulders that are fairly non-existent. This is actually U.S. Route 20 the longest road in the US which runs from Boston to Newport, Oregon. But we live in the roughly 40 mile area of its coast to coast span which is only single lane each way. There are plans to improve it, so that it bypasses Galena, but those have been in discussion for 20+ years so I'm not sure they will happen in my lifetime. In any case, there are loads of semis on the road and I just don't think it is safe to ride a bike on it. So I am left to planning my trips and trying to make each one as efficient as possible.

yonuh, I don't know why your state has cheaper prices either. I know when we go RV'ing, we generally find gas prices about 20 cents a gallon lower from Virginia southward. Don't get out West much, so can't comment on your price history. My heart aches about those wildfires you folks are contending with. Prayers and blessings...!
