About 2.25 for 87 octane at competitive stations in mid-eastern NY State. VT NH usually 0.20 less due to their lower state gas taxes. MA has generally been about same as NYS.

In HS around 1957 one could get name-brand for 0.25. Amico (long gone) white gas was most expensive. Many name brands incl Shell long gone from eastern NYS.

Drilling of new wells down significantly; lots of hard hats on the closet hooks. But they're still pumping and we still get tremendously long and hazardous CNR (Canadian Nation Railway) tank-car-trains coming through our cities and across our state from Balkins and Canada, all heading down along the Hudson River to NYC and NJ for refining and export. It ain't staying here !! Might as well run the pipe line direct to China.
