$4.50 - $5.50 here. 
A week later, it's up to $4.15 a gallon!
It was $3.99 last week!
On a related note.... replaced both of my windshield wipers yesterday morning after the rubber started badly peeling off of one of them. They worked great for many years. The new ones? Just under $72.oo for the pair! In case you're wondering, no they are NOT solid gold wipers.

You're welcome ;)
Just FYI, they cut costs by having NO customer service, so it's a bit "buyer beware," but I order all my wipers and air filters from them, because they're cheap enough if something is wrong, I don't care, can reorder them, and still save money.
If something arrives and is broken, you have to go through the manufacturer's warranty, so I tend to not buy important/expensive stuff from them.
Thank you.
I paid $3.61 in Tampa today, before discounts, so $3.42 after discounts. Not great but not as bad as it was back in 2021-2024.
@Monocrom : What did you buy and where did you buy it? The Mercedes dealer quoted me $100 for new blades, installed. I asked the service saleshole how much were they at the parts counter, $36. He walked me over there with the part # already written down. And that's Mercedes OEM at the dealership.

Lips ^ couple questions for you.
In LA, are gas stations required to put ethanol percentages on pumps?
Is non-ethanol gas available?

Brent Crude is again at $100/barrel

I just went to Auto-Zone. It's down by the section of my neighborhood that is very close to the ghetto neighborhood next door. Rain-X wipers. Each one costs just a couple of dollars more than other brands. Issue is, only 3 brands make wiper-blades that fit my 2009 Mazda 6 sSport trim V6 sedan. Whichever brand Mazda uses and refuses to mention. I had no desire to take my car to the nearest Mazda dealership for wipers. Even though it's only 3 blocks up from my 3rd Shift job. That dealership is hideously busy. Another one is Bosch. Unfortunately Auto-Zone didn't have the Bosch wiper-blade that I needed for the passenger side. (Wrote down all of the info. decades ago in my memo book. Each time I get a new book, I re-copy the info. into it.)
So that left Rain-X. Found the 24 and 18 that I needed. Literally no other options except the 3 mentioned above. News was predicting a massive thunderstorm that thankfully never happened. Though, obviously, I consider wiper-blades and windshield washer fluid to be necessities when operating a vehicle.
When the young cashier at Auto-Zone installed the wiper-blades for me (free service), I slipped him a Hamilton as I shook his hand, and thanked him. To be clear, I paid just under $72.oo NOT including the tip.
