    We should alert each other of the cheapest gas in various parts of Houston, because $1.80 is just ridiculous.

    I was filling up in LaPorte yesterday at 1.81 when I saw 1.69 across the highway. D'oh.

    Good stuffs in this thread.

    In Sugarland, it's 1.79 while at Deerfield (Clay and Barker Cypress), it's 1.85... not much of a difference, but it DOES fluctuate... AND:

    I'd put the factors in as:
    1. Quality of place (sEXXon vs. She-ll vs. Citgo vs. Sunny's Food Store)
    2. Quality of GAS (same as #1)
    3. Service (high-tech pumps vs. low_quality pumps)
    4. Place in Metro area (Alief & Katy much cheaper than Houston)
    5. Tax area (Alief's Tax is 6.25%, Houston is 8.25%
