Gas Prices

[Leo Hadley Jr]

Gas prices should be a non issue come November :D

If you enjoy http://www.theonion.com
there is an article on gas prices this week that made me laugh out loud.
The article is about how gas prices have risen to over four expletives per gallon. (Warning: If you are offended by strong language, do not link to The Onion)

By the way, I paid $3.51 per gallon last night.

Down to $3.60. From the sound of things, I may need to move back East.

Gee, we're all the way down to $3.94.


I hope I don't get arrested for giving the Straight Talk Express a raspberry as they just drove by. I remember during Bush's campaign here a couple got arrested and jailed at one of his rallies for wearing an anti-Bush t-shirt.

Geez, you guys sure are paying a lot for gasoline, heck it's free down here!



















As long as you got a can and a siphon hose!

Wife told me last night when I got home, she needed gas. When I came home I had noticed a serious backup at the station at the corner. Went down to find all the gas was gone except for premium. Regular was $2.51, premium was $2.71. I have never seen pumps so slow. Took me 15 minutes to pump about 7 gallons.

gas in NC at 2.71 where?, BTW half the staions around cornelius, nc are already out of gas. One store owner i know well said they are purposely holding back the supplies for a few days so they can sell it a much higher price

Could you mean $3.51 and $3.71?

Got gas last night at Costco for $3.33.9. I think it's gone up already. I noticed driving home this morning that Wal Mart's gas was $3.65.9.

Yes Happylady. A wishful thought I guess.

I expect a nice big reduction in gas prices right before the election.

:cheers:

I HATE TO QUOTE MYSELF OR SAY I TOLD YOU SO BUT.......

3 months after the quoted prediction, I am paying $1.00 less per gallon and suddenly, weeks before the election.
Gas Prices are No Longer an Issue!!!!!

Its pretty sad that oil prices are based on speculation and not supply and demand.

2.79 Austin, TX.

2.79 Austin, TX.

$2.81 in Frostbite Falls. I heard a rumor from the owner of the local station, that the price will be $2.75 or lower by the election. What happens then depends on who wins.

Addition

I just checked and it's come down to $2.80 (here they can legally only raise prices once a day, but can lower as many times as they want). I can remember about 6 weeks ago when I was complaining about $3.80 :( At this rate we may see $2.50 by election. :)

WELL I GOT GAS YESTERDAY FOR $2.43 A GALLON!!!!! WHOOO HOOO! :cheers:

[Steve Machol]

Wow - just before the elections. What a coincidence.

[obxeyeguy]

Would like to get some of that $2.50 stuff. It's only down to $3.09 here, and only at one station, The rest are still about $3.29.

$2.43 in Taylor, just 10 miles down the road. Of course it's at a WalMart/Murphy's so $2.40 with a WM giftcard.

Sorry Johns.

Stop!! If there is a station within 1 mile of you, its the same, maybe. Take 20 miles to wally world in a car that gets 25mpg. You use .8 of a gallon, or $1.92 at the $2.40 price. Average car fill-up about 13 gallons, meaning you can pay about 15 cents more that walmart closer and come out the same.


This was calculated on the FezzJohns gas price analyzer,($29.95 plus shipping) your results may very slightly, especially at a walmart.:bbg:

No problem!:cheers:
I paid 2.49 with no card, and the owner of the station is a cusomer of mine to boot! (extra brownie points:D). I can avoid WM for $.06 per gallon!:D

The $3.29 station at the corner is now at $2.97. The only card I used was a credit card.:bbg:

About a month ago I read in an article that OPEC was discussing cutting production just so they could raise prices! What a bunch of greedy hogs....

The two reasons why prices are low right now is that there are fewer speculators driving prices up, and we have a surplus due to people driving much less this year. Once that's used up, prices will go up, but hopefully not as high as they were! As long as everyone doesn't start going back to their old driving habits or buying Hummers, lol

BTW, I've seen it as low as $3.19 here in the Tampa/St. Pete area.

Didn't say I regularly buy gas there. I was driving past and saw the price. Since my wife works for WalMart, I usually have a gift card on me. Stopped in and topped off the tank. I didn't make a special trip there for cheap gas.

There are still places closer to home that are above $3.30. I just don't see how they can compete, but there are always people there. (Large corporate stations not indies.)
