Thread: Gas prices drop

Tweet

I have to say I'm enjoying driving my 10mpg truck while the prices are down. I put 12 gallons in yesterday and it was "only" about $20, not the $50 in early October

My wife and I were in Kansas City over the weekend and prices there were hovering at $1.36 while it's $1.39 here.

Today in Alabama, Phenix city: 1.47

Oh oh, is the party over already????? Gas had been hovering in the $ 1.56-$1.65 range here for a while, suddenly it is starting to climb. Most stations I see now are in the $ 1.89 range, almost overnight. Hope this is just a temporary jump and isn't just the beginning of an upward spiral. I know $1.89 is still a deal, but it jumped $ .30 like right now.

I know it had to happen eventually, but I had hoped it wasn't so soon.

I think we will need to rename the thread to gas prices going up! Paid 1.99 last night and same place went up to 2.09 today. I hope your right and this is only a temp bump!

Our low a month a 2 ago was $1.49. We are back up to $1.97. Didn't crude take a $6 drop today?

Same thing happening here, went from low of $1.52, same station now $2.03. This in about 3 weeks. Deja Vu? Can't seem to find an explanation why. Anyone know?

There's a rumor that a meteor shower might hit in the next 2 billion years. That coupled with the certainty that it will be dark all night for the foreseeable future prompted the increase. That & crude dropped to $42.46 so why not raise the price.

Rumors that OPEC is probably going to cut back on production.......DDSS......Control the suppy, raise the demand....The price follows.

I think they are cutting production because they are askeeerd of the meteor shower.

Bush hasn't been able to control the prices, in about 12 days we'll see what happens when Obama takes office.

Not me, Mon, got me a cast iron umbrella!!!!! Deflects radio waves, too!!!!!

Just paid 2.19 a gallon for regular unleaded. This price pushes a fill up to just over $30 bucks. I know it's a hell of a lot better than $65, but it was relly nice doing it for under 30 while it lasted. $29 just seems so much less!

Well it's time to ressurect this thread with gas going from 2.50 a gallon 2 weeks ago to 2.71 a gallon tonight. It went up 5 cents from last night alone!
Wierd thing is diesel is now 2.49 lower than regular like before the last round of upsies!

Yep, the party is over. With the leaps it has been taking it won't be long before it's $ 3 again, then that $ 4 figure is just a little ways more down the road.

It was nice while it lasted. We all kept hoping that it might stay around $ 2, but deep in our hearts we knew it was just temporary.
