Your Gas Price

[WayneLigon]

All of a sudden it dropped like 70 cents. We have regular for about $1.78.
I went on a trip over Halloween: here, gas was $2.60. In Virginia it was $2.14.

Speaking of that, they opened a new large service station/one-stop-shop place near where my friends in VA live. They had a celebration special: $.99 gas all day, and the place across the street from them did the same. It backed up traffic for two miles and required four officers to direct traffic in and out of the area.

It's been dropping for a few weeks now in my area. Most places in Independence are selling gas for $1.85.

if it drops to below $1.67 it will be back to pre-Katrina prices again here. but i doubt it will go that low again EVAR.

In CA, prices didn't really go up post-Katrina. Of course, they were really high pre-Katrina (and I was much too happy to see $2.39/gal this weekend).

Pre-katrina it was about 2.19 here - now it's down as low as $1.96 in one or two gas stations. It's already lower than before the weather problems. I expect it to get as low as $1.90 - before shooting back up at the beginning of the year. Last year this time it was as low as $1.50 *sigh*

It was about $2.49 here just before Katrina. But mostly didn't get much above $3. There was a few places that were more than that but I was lucky enough, even Labor Day weekend to not pay more than $2.99 a gallon.

Wow! That's pretty cheap!!

Gas here - depending on the neighborhood - has stabilized at about $2.35 in the more affluent areas and about $2.17 in less affluent areas.

Ethanol in South Dakota - when the hubby and I were back for a wedding in early November - was down to $1.30-ish. Granted, it's subsidized so that more people buy it... but WOW was it inexpensive!

That's 'cause Georgia doesn't pile on the state gas tax like Maryland (and most Mid-Atlantic/Northeastern States) does. When I travel south on business (to NC and SC), I specifically plan my days/route so I will be in SC when I need to gas up the car...saves ~ $7.5 per tankful !

You may be right. It's all part of Big Oil's scheme. Get the prices really high, so when they drop to a level that may be 30 cents more per gallon, we won't complain as much since we're not paying the super-high price anymore.

Last time, I filled up on the expensive gas at $2.12. Most places around town you can get the cheap gas at around $2.00, give or take. The cheapest I recall seeing in the past couple days is $1.95.

Remember when gas was under a dollar? Well under a dollar. I remember everyone being outraged when it hit a dollar.
