Title: How cheap is your Gas
Post by: Capt Gabriela Fullpepper on October 13, 2008, 04:03:35 PM
So I got curious today as I heard on the radio station that gas in Denver was now $2.99 a gallon. It's $3.13 at the cheap in my town with most being $3.23 and 2.5 hours north of me it's $2.31 in Wheatland Wyo.

It always upsets me to see gas at one Gas station $.05 to $.15 higher at another less than 1/4 mile away or at the same chain 1 mile4 away.

So what is gas in your area?

Rumor says oil could drop to $40 a barrel, Do you think we the consumer will see prices below $2.00?

And since the stocks are falling I think this just shows the Fed's that speculators are helping drive up the cost.

Chime in and post prices in your area and what you think is driving up/down the cost of oil.

To be on-topic, I think the Kroger by me was at $2.89 when I passed it this morning.  What I wanted to mention is that I see this all the time.  There is almost always a significant difference between gass by my house and gas down the road.  If the difference is enough, I will drive down to the cheaper gas, or plan my route so I pass it on the way home.

Yep, I saw 2.89 at a few places this morning.  When I'm getting low on gas I watch the prices at all the stations on my route.  There can easily be a 20 cent difference within a 15 mile radius...

I don't understand all the complaining- the gas I got for $4 a gallon was sooo much better than this cheap $3 stuff.
Title: Re: How cheap is your Gas
Post by: Tygrkat on October 13, 2008, 04:42:20 PM
The cheapest I've seen around here (Syracuse, NY) is about 3.35/gal, and sadly enough, that was quite exciting for me.  :-\
Title: Re: How cheap is your Gas
Post by: Noble Dreg on October 13, 2008, 04:56:25 PM
$2.69/gal

One of the reasons gas is plunging is the same reason it went up...the dollar is gaining strength in the world monetary market.  Gas, no matter who buys it, is purchased in dollars.  When the buck is strong gas is cheap, when it's weak it costs more.

Gas would have been even less in my area but they increased the tax something like 6 cents/gal.

Well, I'm glad it's comming down, it was going to cost me about $350 dollars in gas to drive down to TRF. As of to day gas droped 8 cents here in East Arkansas, Forrest City / Wynne area  I-40 to Memphis 2.91 a gal. and E85 is 2.39.
Can anybody tell me what the price of  gas is in Huntsville TX. Thats were I stop to fill up on my way in to TRF?

Post by: tigerlilly on October 13, 2008, 07:17:53 PM
I'm seeing $2.89 too, but I live in pretty much the same area as Aiacha.  Gas seems to be more expensive along major roads and waaaay out in the boonies.

Never thought I would think of $2.89 gas as "cheap".  I remember getting upset over having to pay $1.50.

Post by: Lady Renee Buchanan on October 13, 2008, 08:27:21 PM
Gas in Dubuque, IA where I work is $2.85.  In the Walmart in Galena, IL, if you use their card, it's 3 cents off, and the sign shows $2.85, so that would make it $2.82.  However, 1 block down the street, in a regular gas station (not connected to Walmart), the price is $3.14.  That is a difference of 32 cents per gallon!  Something is definitely wrong here.   ???
Title: Re: How cheap is your Gas
Post by: Hibernian on October 13, 2008, 09:17:57 PM
I'll take that $2.85 and even pay $3.00 for it. The best I've found lately in Mooresville, NC lately was $3.85.

Haven't been watching prices for the last couple of days, but when I last filled up (couple of days ago) it was $3.47 and that was quite cheap.

When I left work today, (I work at a Walmart), our gas was down to $2.75/gal.  I'm almost excited to buy gas when I get paid tomorrow.  Our store and the Kroger across the street always have the cheapest gas in town (I live in a reeeally small town), but since Walmart has the 3cents off gas card, I buy from there.  =D

Its cheap enough to require different jets in the carb between summer and winter blends. A lot of fuel injected vehicles toss up an engine check light cause the computer can't compensate for that much added ethanol.

It is still running anywhere between 2.75 to 2.55 a gallon here in North Alabama.About a month ago it was 4.99 a gallon in some places and allot of places had run out.

1.99!!! You suck... LOL.. Well, since you really didn't witness it, I take it back. We hit 2.42 since the 2.52 on the 26th. Let it keep falling. Even though I have a Toyota Hybrid getting just over 50mpg, it will be way less to top it off. Every little bit helps.

I can't help but think about those sales car dealerships were offering for several years of gas for $2.00 or $2.50 a gallon.  Something inside me told me gas couldn't keep at the $4 mark but looking back I'm sure anybody who bought into that are probably baffled right now.

Northern MD gas is currently $2.30.  Hubby says we're going to bottom out around the $2.00 mark.

Gas is probably going to be on the upswing soon whether or not oil goes up.
A lot of people working in refineries along the gulf coast have lost everything and are getting no help from FEMA, the SBA or their insurance companies. http://www.chron.com
Already refineries are cutting back production due to lack of employees, some of whom are being forced to give up and go elsewhere to look for a place to live.
A lot of people think it was just houses that were damaged but it was a lot of hotels and apartments also.

I saw 1.97 yesterday at a Kroger in the northern suburbs of Houston.  Never thought I'd see it below $2/ gallon again.  I know the gas prices are lower because the economy sucks (I read an analogy somewhere that this is sort of like losing a whole bunch of weight...because you're sick), but it sure does make life easier for those folks who can now afford to drive to work.  Hopefully the food prices that were driven up by the high gas prices will start coming back down too.

Noticed it was down from $2.09 to $1.99 driving through town. That means King soopers is about $1.89 or less a gallon with Sooper Card.

Ok today I saw gas priced at $1.49 here in Iowa. I also saw on the news tonight that the price of oil per barrel should continue to fall into 2009.

Gas prices here are very odd. Go to one place and it's 1.77, but go right down the road and you can pay 1.99. It seems no gas stations here have the same price as the other. It's really odd.

We've dropped below a buck and a half here.  I've been seeing $1.41 - $1.49 most places.  Only cost me a little over $20 to fill up with Premium the other day!  :o

Okay, so it won't last.  Might as well enjoy it while it's here.  I'm not saying it's okay to waste gas, but it *is* okay to sigh with relief when you can afford to buy gas to drive to work!

I think it's about $1.47 at my local Kroger.

It's always amazing that the price of oil goes down ($40.75 a barrel today down from $41.70 yesterday)
and the price at the pump goes up 10 or 15 cents a gallon ::)

Price : the amount of money given or set as consideration for the sale of a specified thing

Gouging : to subject to extortion or undue exaction : overcharge

But gas is purchased on speculation, so the rise/fall is off by several days, always.  The 20 cent hike is ridiculous, but better than 50 cents or more...
