RANT/RAVE: Gas Prices

[TabascoElvis]

Rave - Gas prices are down to $2.04 in my area that I've seen and $1.96 in the region based on price searcher. My wife filled up for less than $20.

Rant - $2.04 sounding like a really cheap price for gas. I know, it honestly is in this age. But when you remember sub-$1/gallon...


What are you folks seeing price wise?

$2.10 here. Dropped a quarter yesterday.

I've seen $1.99 here in STL. That was this morning, its been going down everyday so I bet on my way home I'll see it even cheaper.

Poor Arabs.

I asked someone why it was so low lately and they think it's because of the election. Someone else said they think that since far fewer people are buying gas, it's going down. I don't believe that for a minute, but regardless of the reason, I'm glad it's going down. I never thought I'd see it for under $3 a gal. ever again.

Demand has decreased for the first time since the 70's, I heard the other day (in America anyway).

It's also expected to continue to decrease, which is why oil futures are declining, even though some OPEC countries have either vowed to or already have cut production.

Oh, and I paid $2.44 in suburban Chicago last night.

I saw $2.99 here in the city limits. Out in the burbs of Cook County, I paid $2.79 early this week.

$1.97 here in wichita ($1.87 for me with my dillons PLUS card...a supermarket discount thingy)

it was prolly just over $3.00 during the height of the summer...

i just "love" how during the summer months people are all in an uproar about the gas prices and how important it is for new fuel technologies and better cars, etc...yet, when the winter comes, nobody (generally) brings it up anymore, until the next summer
