Ah, we are back to $2 gas. How fun 
The national average today for a gallon of regular gas is $2.02. It’s more than I’d like to pay, but better than the $3.26 gas was going for this time last year. The state average today is $1.92.
New Albany has the cheapest gas in our sampled region, charging $1.83 per gallon of regular. Then it’s Corinth at $1.87, followed by Pontotoc ($1.88) and Sherman ($1.89).
In Tupelo, gas is $1.95 at Kroger at Crosstown, $1.96 at Travel Store USA off Eason and $1.92 for members at Sam’s.
Most expensive: $1.99 in Oxford
Other prices:
Amory $1.93
Booneville $1.97
Ripley $1.93
Starkville $1.95

Let’s make everything even buzz. If $1.95 is posted on the sign at Kroger, well Kroger members pat $1.92, as well. Your Sams price would be equal to Kroger without membership. Be ethical, and post it all the same if you are going to post it.
sorry for the type-o. pay not pat
Straight shooter – you make an interesting point. We post the different prices because Kroger does different discounts depending on the customer. For example, if you are a Kroger card holder, you get 3 cents off. But if you’ve spent $100 that month, you get 10 cents off. And, if you use a Kroger credit card, you get a different discount.
At Sam’s, I would venture to say most people don’t get gas there unless they are Sam’s members. And, when people quote the price, they want the member price. And to my knowledge, the member price isn’t cheaper by a certain pattern. It changes depending on the day. So, that’s why we list only the member price.
But, good point about clarifying the Kroger price is without the 3 cent member discount. I’ll note that in future posts.
County Line Store (Guntown- on HWY 348) was $1.89 yesterday when I went by.
Glad to hear it’s coming down.
In the future, we’ll be posting gas prices on the Journal’s new Web site, NEMS360.com. You can find the recent gas post here:
