Chicago Prices

Still at $2.65 here in the Chicago suburbs. :(

Heard it was down to $2.09 in St Louis.
 
Oklahoma....

Went to buy powerball tickets 2 nights ago. It was at 2.09 just across the bridge in Oklahoma. Here in Fort Smith Arkansas it is still about 2.35 a gallon.
 
Yep, I can tell the fuel prices are going back down...I95, the "highway of hell" between Richmond and D.C. has gotten a bit busier the past few weeks. I liked it right after Katrina, when fuel prices around here hit $3.50 a gallon. I-95 was starting to get reasonably peaceful!
 
Ours is hovering just under $3, which is good, given we haven't seen under $3 since last winter. I was not, however, aware that the prices had fallen that much in the midwest. Maybe ours will still end up falling a bit more. Usually the differential is 20 to 30 cents.
 
$2.39 in Beltsville today. And with the BP pipe line shut down, too. Oh, that was going to create a real shortage for us and it was such a good ingredient to add to the justifications for the oil price increases, but brilliant as it was, it arrived on the scene just a little too late to be used to its full potential because the country started grumbling about the price of gas cutting into household spending for other items which also started going up in price because so many things use oil as an ingredient in manufacturing and everything has to be transported which uses fuel just like factories depend on gas and electricity which are also setting price records. Then as prices started rising across the board, the danger of inflation appeared on the horizon. The mood in the country was one of restlessness and disapproval of the party in power. Washington had tried the diversions, perhaps too soon, of beating up on the Queers and flag burners which didn't amount to a hill of beans so the order went out that prices were to be cut. One of the reasons that was given for the drop in the price of oil was that the Gulf Of Mexico had not seen any storms this year. That means that they were gouging us as insurance against their loss of income IF there was any disturbance like Katrina, but it's OK and fair and the nation is happy that gas prices are falling so maybe the ruling party will continue to rule. They say that a goldfish has a memory of 3 seconds. I wonder about the memory span of many of our citizens, at least the memory span of the ones that are even paying attention to what is happening around them and to them.
 
Nice Survey, Man

Two dollars and seventy cents at the Hamburg Mobil on Lake Shore Road (US Rte.5)

AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CHEERING .

Gee-- how conveniently timed before the elections. How dumb do they think we are? Good God Almighty!
 
Since President Bush....

Has been completely blamed for the increase in gas prices, I am still waiting for word from the MSM congratulating him on getting those prices lowered!

Hmmm, MSM, where are you???? Hello? Is this mic on?

:-)
 
Most stations around me are down to 2.19, you can find it as low as 2.11 this morning here in the Twin Cities.

I have absolutely no doubt that W is involved somehow involved with the lowering of gas prices, maybe there is an important election coming??? :)
 
It is quite easy to figure out.....

Large tax cuts for oil companies = lower prices for gasoline before elections.

And after the elections, it will be time to break out the KY lube..... Because me thinks we will see a major increase in all fuel prices. Perhaps toward $5.00 per gallon.

One hand washes the other. After all, the the oil companies are "in" the White House.
 
Well here in the UK Petrol is your equivilant of $7.21 a gallon. Diesel slightly more. So it aint that bad in USA compared with other countries. Fuel here is very pricey including home gas and electric which has gone up about 80-100% in the last 18 months.

Steve, I'm curious to know what a European person's opinion would be of this situation. I mean, any time this subject comes up, wherever it comes up, a European can always be counted upon to point out the glaring differences between your prices and ours. What is pointed out is correct, but what is the feeling about it in Europe, say if you were to discuss it around the water cooler at work? What I mean is, when prices fluctuate and go up here, we are outraged, and in my opinion justifably so. In Europe, however, it seems to me that fuel and energy prices have always been ridiculously inflated, but I've never really understood why that is, and unless I'm missing something you all seem to accept it as a fact of life. It's particularly puzzling given how much closer you all are to the majority of the supplies. What's up with all this anyway?
 
I think we in the US can't imagine such high gas prices, but they on the other hand always seem shocked and appalled when I speak of our healthcare costs.

Maybe it all evens out in the end?
 
Portland, Or Gas prices varry so much

From the lauralhurst area at 2.95 at shell at 39th and S E Stark to Troutdale Flying J which is the by far least expensive at 2.57<----that is where I filled up and it was still 26.00 in my Honda Civic.Although alot of the world does pay more, and correct me if I am wrong, do people make bigger saleries as well? I understood that everything is higher.My box of German Persil in Seattle, Wa when I boght it three weeks ago was 46.95 for a BIG-BIG box. when I was in Seattle 17 Aug I saw gas at Shell for 3.33 a galon. I looked for good and cheap gas and found it off of I-5 in Marriesville for 2.89 and thought that I was getting some kind of deal. OH! I ve got it! I could have my car run on all of my used rinse water.Just a thought. :)
 
Yes, I agree about this manufactured auto-terror thing...

Particularly when it's done in such a noncreative fashion.
