New and Improved Gas Prices!!!

[a440]

Hello everyone,
I was out and about today in Griffin Georgia enjoying this fantastic fall weather.
I just had to fill up my gas tank because the gas was $1.95 for regular unleaded.
The lowest I have seen where I live outside of Atlanta is $2.25.
What prices are you paying within your stomping grounds?
I think in my own little world that I have created, that gas should be around $.99 for regular unleaded. It is just my personal coping skills.

I just filled up at Costco for $2.99 a gallon (premium). Regular unleaded was $2.49

I love petrol prices at 2,49$/gallon
Today regular was 1,29€/l LOL, that was 6,50$/gallon

Here in Canada I saw a sign advertising 99.3 cents/litre ($4.52 Imperial gallon, $3.75 U.S. gallon). That is the first time it has been under $1.00 in this area for a couple of years. Hard to believe we think that is a good price but when we having been paying up to $1.40/litre........

We managed to get down to 94.9 cents/litre yesterday. What burns me is how the price takes days, weeks to go down, in fact they'll use that fraction of a cent digit all the way down from 9 to 2 around here before they drop the actual cent digit. Yet when they price goes up it jumps overnight a full nickel or dime or whatever per liter.
Last week when it was 100.9, the next day 100.8 etc all the way down to 100.2, anything not to drop it into the 99's or lower until they absolutely have to.

[cleanteamofny]

2.29 for Reg unleaded

And Ann Arbor is known statewide of having artificially higher prices than say Ypsilanti, and or the entire metropolis of Detroit.

And I hear it's to fall further. I wonder if it's gonna last long tho???

I lied

Someone just came in and said the prices were just changed to $1.99.

This is just one benefit we will receive until after the elections, then it's "Get the Gun Nellie, no holds barred"

I feel you! After next Tuesday, watch out. Until then.....

This was in my e-mail this morrning. I about fell out of my chair. Right before my trip to California. 2.21 a gallon at Costco. I was in Seattle a month ago paying 3.61 and thought that was cheap, at least for a month ago.

$2.399 for Shell at the dealer who was always known as the highest in town. For the last 2 months or so he's been the lowest (though not on heating oil).

1.95-1.98 here in Springfield, MO

 

[jetcone]

Tell me how?

Tell me how it is that it took over 100 years for gas to go from 0.05/gallon to $1.85/gallon and then without ANY change in infrastructure or supply from mother nature it went to $4.56/gallon and now 3 months later back to $1.99/gallon?

Tell me how that happens?

 

[iheartmaytag]

$1.95

This morning.
Jetcone. It didn't take 100 years. I remember when my mother opened the first Self-serv gas station in the state of Kansas June 12, 1972. She opened the station at .23 cents per gallon.

In 1974, the time of the big oil embargo she had just filled the tanks and had over 12,000 gallons of fuel out back. A man from the state came in and told her to put "Out of Gas" on the pumps and close down for three days.

She told him she wasn't out of gas as she had just filled the tanks.
He said "You heard me, put out of gas on those pumps and close down for three days." This would have been October 1, 1974. She opened back up three days later, gas was .30 cents a gallon higher and had all the gas we could get.

I'm not one to say conspiracy, but it leaves one to draw their own conclusions.

$1.95 in Waco

I didn't have a car in '74 (although I was 22 years old by that time). I was still in college and I remember cheerily ringing my bicycle bell as I cruised by the long lines of cars queued up the block from a local gas station, waiting their turn. All those glum faces. It almost made me happy to be so poor I couldn't afford a car.

One of the first orders of business for our new government in January will be a $700 billion lawsuit against the major oil companies, to get some of our money back from the Cheney/Bush/OPEC grand theft of the last eight years. It'll pay for the recent "bailout" very nicely.

Glad to hear that everyone is experiencing lower gas prices per gallon.
I had to go to Walmart this afternoon, (Yay!) and the gas was $1.85 per gallon. There were lines of cars, and I did not even think about getting trapped in the chaos.
I agree with you Jon, none of the spikes in price makes any sense to me. It is just the greedy world we live in.
The price per gallon is still way to high to me. It is better. Just not low enough.
