just wondering what the prices for some of you guys.


in south texas we got reg1.86 plus1.96 super2.06


does anyone know the reason behind the plumeting gas prices??

not complaining though

OMG, that's low!

I paid about 2.xx last week.

ya i don't know??


its been going down about 3-4 cents a day for the past 3 weeks or so..

3.50 here and i thinkits cheap lol

2.42 for reg. and 2.58 for plus. here in central FL

$2 flat I saw a few nights ago. You know if they just kept it there and steady for a year or so I wouldn't care if they pocketed the extra $$$ they might get from not letting it go down further. It hasn't been this cheap in years.

HOLY CRAP! It's 2.59 here today and I was stoked. Looks like we're getting robbed up here compared to TX!

california = teh rape. ;_;

good thing our slow ass cars get good mpg haha

Then again consider the difference in transpo costs - you all up in the mountains nowhere near a refinery vs our flat land with refineries everywhere - it makes sense in that light.

Collapse of US economy, low demand, and elections ?

^ EXACTLY. I bet after the election it levels out or goes back up again. I don't think it's a coincidence that OPEC is going to cut production starting in November.

bailout plan

i think it was around 2.38 on the way into work this morning. its probably dropped even farther now though.

The lowering of gas prices had to do with our economy. Exporters didn't want to confide in the USA and help for the bailout, so somehow they are pocketing the extra which is allowing them to lower gas prices because it is all profit. I read about it although the way I explained it doesn't make much sense, but that is basically what they said.


If you ask me, these things have to do with what has happened not publicly associated with gas, but other things, or what is happening right now. We are hurting they say and we see people filing bankruptcy. We also see the GOVERNMENT buying out places as well. I personally feel this is like a fear that has spread about making others cash out, yet in some ways they are making it manageable for us to still continue on, still making it, while we look for a way out. Not entirely realizing we are actually ok. High Gas prices did affect our business at my last job, but if it were like this right now, we would be doing ok again. Our boss shut the store down, because he couldn't manage his own money and spent as fast as he got. Now I am loopy, and I don't know why I am continuing to talk. Ugh.......

I think its because of the election..

the republicans just want to do this so we can vote for mccain..
this is just assuming.. Im not and dont want to be 100% sure about it because whatever president we get, I just want them to do a good job at what theyre doing.. Obama for yo mama or McCain no pain no gain.. hecka corny but its whatever.. Im bored at work..

just got gas for 2.09 in kansas

I got it for 1.99 in lee's summit, mo

I hate you guys (not literally). $3/gal for my plus at Chevron. But! I am content with that. No more than $3.20 please.

you gotta love americans crying about fuel prices, this year with the earlier exchange rates when the pound sterling was strong against the dollar, the fuel prices were at their highest also, we as in the UK and Ireland were paying £1.29 per LITRE that equates at the time it was over $2 to the pound

So do your maths

1 Litre £1.29 ($2.58) @$2 per £1 for arguments sake but i do remember it going as high as $2.10 this year
1 Gallon (UK 4.55 litres) £5.87 ($11.74)

THATS ELEVEN DOLLARS SEVENTY FOUR CENTS PER GALLON PEOPLE we were getting shafted for fuel, it was costing me £102 to fill the Carlos Sainz at that time so we were truly out of pocket compared to you guys across the pond

3.29 for low grade in Victoria, TX.

Houston and CC are the closest refineries though...

Election is part of it. Gas prices also dropped when bush was up for reelection 4yrs ago.

The real reason is because of the stock market crash. Stock traders were manipulating the price of oil to help big companies mark up the price and make record profits. Now that the stock market crashed, most of the traders pulled out to try and save their own asses. Now your seeing gas prices at normal supply/demand levels.

wah wah wah

Europeans drive a fraction of the amount that Americans do. Not to mention your cars are more fuel efficient, you have better designed and more available public transit, or the fact that so many towns are pedestrian friendly with most everything within walking distance. You could fit FIVE Irelands into Florida alone! So if anyone is whining, it's you trying to make us feel like you have it so bad. That just isnt the case here.

Not to mention that anytime something so essential to everyday life DOUBLES in price within the span of a year or two, there's going to be a fuss about it.

Just paid $2.79 per for 12.5 gallons of premium tonight. And it was a treat being well under $40 for a tank of gas finally. Now just gotta figure out why the 3SGTE is only getting 21.5-22.5 MPG.

We are paying $1.73 now per litre. About the same as the beginning of the year. But our money has crashed against the US dollar now and that aint helping us.

You americans have it sweet that back in the day it was decided to use americans dollars to trade oil.

2.09/ gallon....for 87!

0.999$ (99.9¢) per liter here... which makes around 3.79$ per gallon

$1.83/L for BP Ultimate 98oct last time I checked, Gave me a shock to get above instead of under 25L for 50 bucks, Price was something similar this time last year, then it went over $2.20 and now back... Just in time for Christmas as always.
