Thursday's Cheapest Gas: $3.67

Is it Friday yet? Not quite. Now that's the bad news. The good news is gas prices in the area remain lower than they have been. It's faint praise, considering how much we continue to pay at the pump, but at least we can take solice in knowing the prices are trending down instead of the other way around - for now, anyway.

According to Gas Buddy, here is a list of some the least expensive places in the area to fill up the tank before heading off into the world.
