Birmingham Gas Prices

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

As gas prices continue to climb throughout the US, many useful websites are coming online to help people find the cheapest gas in town.  One such website is GasBuddy.  If you visit, you can select the area of the country to view local gas prices. 

It looks like over the last 60 hours, the cheapest gas around Birmingham was being sold in Pelham, at Jet-Pep for $3.77/gallon. (Which would explain the long line of cars I saw there yesterday!)  At the other end of the spectrum are various Shells, BPs, Exxons, & Chevrons hovering at the $3.99/gallon range. (Although I did see one website reporting a Shell in Hoover being over $4/gallon!)

I was not able to get a price for Costco Gas, they tend to be cheaper than the rest so if you are in Hoover and a member, check there first.  Also, although gas may be cheaper at the pump, but if you are driving out of your way for cheap gas, remember, the further you drive out of your way, the more expensive the gas becomes.
