$1.91

Post by izzarina »

That's what our gas prices were when I went past the station today. Looks like I'm not going to win the "Future Price of Gas" game :P Not that I'm complaining...I'd rather not win if it means I don't have to pay almost $5 a gallon for gas. But you know, it's the principle of the thing.

We tend to have some of the highest in the country up here in the North Country, so I'm wondering how low everyone else's are?

Lowest I've actually seen is $1.59 - but it said in the paper there were a couple of stations having a price war in town at $1.41 and $1.40.

I'm not going to win either. :)

$1.79 for a fill-up yesterday, and the station was right next to the freeway. Haven't had a $25 fill-up here in a long time.

The local Arco station has it at $1.55 today.

1.37 at a few select locations out here. Keeps dropping a few cents each week. Hoping we might get as low as 1.10 again somewhere, but hard to say. And then again, we always have next summers "driving" season and the hurricanes and such to jack the prices abnormally high all over again. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The pump turned off at 11 bucks yesterday. I couldn't believe it. I haven't filled up that cheaply in a long time.
$1.48/gal. :o

(That's in central Virginia.)

$1.43 in Shreveport LA today. Just to put that in perspective, I was paying about that per liter in Britain this time last year.

If you drive a gas guzzler maybe you are feeling relief and thinking maybe you don't have to get a more fuel efficient vehicle afterall. When I pull up at the pumps with my Vespa I can pay for gas with money found at the bottom of my purse. In other words, it's still worthwhile to have a more fuel efficient vehicle.

I ride a motorbike when the weather permits.
I have a theory, though it might belong on the proct bord, that the reason petrol prices are going down is the oil companies were starting to see the writing on the wall of folks moving toward alternative fuels; let's face it the best thing in the world to prompt research in those fields would be for policy makers to not be able to afford gas.

It averages $1.61 here right now.
My theory is that oil companies own stocks from the now miserable stock exchange and probably trying to help the economy (for their benefit).

Imagine them buying up stocks with those "record profits" only have a large chunk lost in stock market?

Iin years past they always tend to start rising prices at the end of the residential heating season roughly around March/April.
