I shouldn't talk to much because from what I've been told Montana has a decent amout of oil too, but it all gets exported to other refineries so we don't get the benefits. I haven't seen $2.89/gal for a LONG time.

For the most part, I think Texas does have the cheapest gas prices in the country.
It was $2.89 here in MS when I filled up the other day. We are usually pretty close to Texas prices.
I remember when I was 16 and had my first gas guzzling 5spd Mustang. i think it got about 14mpg around town. But I didn't care cause gas was so cheap. At one point it was down to $0.77/gallon! Ahhh, the good old days!

It is likely the pump. Even if you have used the same pump before, no pumps are perfect. I have been to several that will stop a bunch of times and I have to hold the lever instead of locking it. I think it has to do with the underground tank getting low on fuel or something.

Yeah just went out for lunch and saw prices are up to 2.99/gal..
Are you at the same pump each time you do this? I've had that happen to me on my '86 4Runner and after switching pumps it stopped doing it... I had noticed the gas came out of the nozzle a bit differently. Much like a bad aerator on a sink nozzle, it kinda looked like a sloppy stream.. Moved to the other pump, and it came out smooth and stopped my problem.. Seems like there is a small bubble of air that gets created from the gas being dumped all weird...
Just my $0.02

$3.17 for unleaded here.
I try to avoid ever going to the same gas station all the time. I vary which ones i use alot. that way, if i find out that my "regular" gas station isnt being honest with their gas amount calibration, i wont be as upset.
there was a string of stations that were caught for that awile ago.

Yeah, and the good old days weren't that long ago too. I think when 2000 hit it was all downhill in some ways. Mainly the oil mongrels/politicians that we have areto blame for this gas crisis.
