The locals will be able to give you accurate info, but from what I'm finding it's around $3.19. Last year RMBrit recommended filling up before Estes Park or going into Loveland or Lyons, etc for gas. (ex. just checked gas prices in Loveland.....$2.89 as of this past Sunday)

Estes Park Gas Prices

I got the info from WWW.GASBUDDY.COM. You can search by zip code and find the low prices in your area, too!

Great link! Thanks for sharing. Our prices in Bellingham are still around 3.00 for unleaded. I think we all need cars like the flinstones, although they'll have to come up with much tougher shoes. I ain't doing that barefoot ... laugh.gif roflmao.gif shutup.gif

Here in Longmont we are at $2.89. Now we haven't been up in a month or so, but for some reason the gas station in Lyons is always even cheaper than here in Longmont. We always get gas there when coming back out.

Gas hasn't gone up too much since the first of July. It was generally $3.14/gal (Tiny Town Shell and others) then but for some reason in that week the Phillips 66 station that is just below Stanley Village was "only" $3.09, so take a look around and just get what you need.

We're right around $2.43
It's amazing that everybody around here is calling that "cheap".

I work with a guy who knows a lot about a lot of things and this was what we talked about last week. He said he knew of at least a couple major reasons gas prices were falling. Hurricanes aren't what they were compared to this time last year. And that the gubment requires higher refinement of gas pretty much between the time period of Memorial Day through Labor Day. So now that our gas doesn't need to be refined like crazy, it's much cheaper....in addition to other things too I'm sure.

I've read in a few places that gas could likely get back down near $2.00 close to Thanksgiving time spotting.gif
