Perhaps the oil companies don't want gas prices to be a big issue?

It drops late in the year even in most non-election years doesn't it? Maybe I'm mistaken there...

Great segway! Lets talk about the election some more.

I never thought I'd see it getting close to under $2 a gallon, but in Ohio....it is almost there. If I see it under the $2 mark, I might just dance a jig.....

But seriously, the price coming down is nice...I just don't expect it to stay down forever. With the prices way up at the $4 mark, it made it really hard to justify a trip into town unless I really needed to go.

Go about an hour due west. The price is at $1.79/gal today.

Then start dancing!

I hear winter gas is a little cheaper as they don't put as many additives in it. It's down to 1.79 in my neck of the woods. And that's at a chevron.

I'm honored.

Filled up for $1.98 today. I hope that the decrease in price doesn't have a negative impact on peoples concern for fuel mileage. Even thought its getting affordable now doesn't mean we can't drive efficient cars.

Simple statement of pertinent fact.

been under two dollars here in tx for about a week (at some stations). i just dont understand why some stations have 1.97 a gallon and across the street at another station it is still at 2.02 a gallon, why would anyone go for the more expensive one? when i was in georgia a few weeks ago gas had gotten up to around 5 something!! they said that after the hurricanes georgia "ran out of gas"


-dan-

Yesterday morning a station was $1.85. That afternoon it was $1.79. This morning $1.75. I figure at this rate, they'll be paying customers to take gasoline from them by December!

PS it sure feels like it has been a long time since I filled up my nearly empty tank for less than $20

It's just so crazy! I can afford to drive my truck again...it only costs me $47 to take it from bone dry to full! (that's 25 gallons @ $1.88/gallon)

Woo!!!

Slightly off topic, but I find this sad: my truck, which is a 1990 Chevy with a 350, gets the same gas mileage as these new trucks today and still tows more- 20 highway/14 street, 10,000 lbs. You'd think that after 20 years, GM would have figured it out. I think they have and they just haven't been sharing it with us.
