My roommate says, "Peh-Kahn" (from Texas) and I say, "Pee-Can" (from New England).
I know it doesn't matter, but I'm interested in seeing which one is the more prevalent pronounciation.

Until last week I was in do doubt that there was only one way to pronounce pecan and that is pea-can...but then I met an American who said it was pronounced in different ways all over the US.
As far as I'm aware in the UK it is pea-can.
