Just paid that at the corner store. Whoever thought we'd see that again.

Gas under $2 a gallon??? I would have never thought I'd hear of that again in my lifetime. Hallelujah!!! :twothumbs

Saw $1.98 around here today. Think I'll hold off for a few days. I wonder if we'll see $1.50?

Wish you could count on it, but it's safer to count on it being $6 + someday, and probably without much warning...

 

[BIGIRON]

I agree, that's why I'm so amazed.

Part of me wants to see the price increase again. That would mean the demand is up and hence the economy and stock market would be doing better. Meanwhile as long as I keep my job, it's good to spend $20 less a week

I agree, that's why I'm so amazed.

P.S. Higher price of food is equated to the higher cost of petroleum. Do you think we'll see food prices go down? Like taxes, somehow I don't think so.

 

[BIGIRON]

Yes - just like I thought $4 was too high, <$2 might not really support the industry. I don't know what's the reasonable and fair price. I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Everythings gassed up and we're going to take a camper trip next week instead of staying close.

My son was spending i[ to $700.00 a month commuting to work prior to the gas price reduction, and he, his and kids are struggling. That will be a break for them. Maybe gas price reduction has not helped the country get out of the hole, but it certainly reduces some stress on ordinary folks, now that the holidays are coming. Also, poor Hugo Chavez is hurting too, with oil at about $50.00 a barrel.

http://gasbuddy.com/ is a way to keep track of gas prices in your area.

I remember how gas prices were only 0.45 cents a Litre back in late summer of 1997 as it went up to 1.30 early in this year and is now in the mid to high 0.80's

It's getting closer to that here in California. I don't know if it'll ever be less than $2, who knows.:naughty:

I think it is possible gas will creep lower if we don't get a whopper of a cold front hit the east for awhile causing a lot of heating oil consumption.

Lowest I've seen is $2.83 for a gallon of regular in Hawaii. Funny how we managed to keep pace with raising gas prices while falling behind in lowering gas prices.

IIRC, the OPEC "emergency " meeting is scheduled for DEC 2nd, I think. They are not too happy that they can't get new Bentleys this year. I believe that they will impart an IMMEDIATE output reduction. Hence,.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I'm betting we'll be back in the $3 a gallon range by Feb 1st.

Do you have refineries in Hawaii?

Hey,
you lot don't know how lucky you are! The cheapest I can buy diesel fuel for my car at the moment is equivalent to $7.99 a gallon!!! It costs me the equivalent of $22 dollars a day just to drive to work and back and my car does 40-50mpg
