Friday AM when I drove to work, the lowest price at the gas stations was $3.659. That afternoon, one station was down to $3.399, and that station was jammed! It turned out I needed gas, and this station was my usual spot. Today, I found gas as low as $3.329 for regular. Could this really be, or is it a trick for us to think that $3.25/gal gas is a bargain, so they can raise it up to over $4.00 and keep it there?

Damn, it's still $3.85 here in Atlanta. I was in Newark last Friday and saw it for $3.19. That just seemed cheap to me for almost NYC. Oil is below $88/barrel today, so I hope to see sub $3.00 soon, but maybe I'm just dreaming.

I go out at nite with my 5 gal can and a big ole siphon hose. = Free baby! But if I have to pay, we're around $3.79 for regular.

I filled up the car on Sunday for $3.46. It could have been 3.56 but I try not to pay attention any more. I just wish they had a petroleum jelly dispenser at the pump to make the screwing feel a little better.

Gas is now $3.059 per gallon! Amazing that it has dropped another $0.25 in just 2 days. At this rate, by the end of the month, they may be paying us to use gasoline. You think?

$2.74 a gallon on the Missouri side. Kansas side tends to run about 10 cents higher.

Came down to $2.99 here in Iowa a few days ago.

SOB! It hasn't dropped for crap around here! Still sitting at $3.78 this AM. I might just drive to Missouri to start filling up the tank. That'll teach the 'em.

No shit!!!! Filled up last night for a deal at $3.69. Most places still close to $3.80. Asswipes.

2.55 here today! my retirement has tanked for now, but at least I can afford a gallon of gas.

blue65coupe · « **Reply #17 on:** October, 16, 2008, 05:23:58 AM »

Bite me. Used as a term of action and not to name a person. 3.49 here...3.25 if you feel like driving an extra 15 miles one way. Actually met with retirement guy Tuesday and I'll just say, "The meeting was full of laughs". So, I'm not working for the end so to speak and still paying out the wazoo to get to said work.

Gas now down to $2.829 for regular in Panama City.

tarafied1 · « **Reply #19 on:** October, 16, 2008, 11:14:35 AM »

It's $2.899 for the cheap stuff here in Western KY... first time under $3 in a long time. Pretty sad when we think that is a good price!

2.65 here in Turtle Beach! Life is GOOD! :dance :dance

AzPete · « **Reply #21 on:** October, 20, 2008, 05:07:22 PM »

Found 2.69 here in Panama City tonight.

The other day, we drove past one station and it was 2.81. 40 mins. later, it was 2.78. I filled up and asked if they got a delivery causing a price change. The answer was no delivery, corperate office just said to drop the price.
