How much is gas where you are?

[oddlycalm]

Oil at $59 bbl today and headed toward $50. Makes me wonder if we'll see $12oil again.... National average on gasoline at $2.22 and in free fall. Not often in life are you gonna see a fall of a $1/gallon in a single month as we just did. :eek:

Worth quoting again

Gold, silver, and Oil will bankrupt many as it drops to the floor, bringing dumb investors to their knees. Oh yea, oil is gonna go to two hundred you say. Hey, it is your money, go ahead and gamble it like a moron. It will start dropping back down on its way to 34 bucks a barrel by year's end (it will eventually get to 34, not at years end, but heading towards it on its way down.) As for gold and silver, if you buy it now you are really stupid.

[dando]

$1.95 here this AM, including the Sunoco that was @ $2.79 less than 3 weeks ago. :eek:

Fuel is the lowest I have seen it in more than 12 months....doing the conversions....
Was full price at AU$1.229/L (but with Woolworths 4c/L and another 4c/L for spending $5 in the store I got it down to AU$1.149c/L)...so that works out at US$3.05/USG

[cameraman]

Still $2.239 for Chevron regular in SLC.

[JLMannin]

Just all a part of the redistribution of wealth.

None of it is coming my way yet. :mad:

Yes, gas is cheaper now, but now everything else is much more expensive. Groceries are up at least 50%, and I spend far, far more on food than I do gas.

I paid $1.759 for gas the other day.

[TKGAngel]

Paid $2.62 for 87 yesterday morning.

Lowest price locally is on the rez (no sales tax on the Native American lands) and they're barely under $2.30.

[RHR_Fan]

$1.99.

Hasn't been under $2 in about 3 1/2 years.

I saw $1.89 this AM...the local fish wrap has $1.67 as the lowest price locally.

Cheapest diesel in town is at 2.39........ :shakehead
You still have 16 cents/gal more to go before you can stop complaining about gas prices. :p

[manic mechanic]

I think $2.21 was the lowest I saw regular/87 for today...
I'll run until the low fuel light comes on... It may be $2.19 by Thursday around these parts.

On another note: our Vegas trip planned for Christmas week may be a whole lot more affordable in the G-35 now that premium is below $2.50. One of the only areas that $50 buys more than it did 6 months ago, IMHO.

Oh yeah, if I didn't tell you all about it before, I bought my wife an '08 G-35 about 6 months ago... It's an AMAZING car!!

4. Gas at the Sideling Hill rest area on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, late July, on my training-camp trip: $4.29 per gallon. Gas at the same station Friday morning: $2.19 per gallon.

That's about what it was when we drove from here to OCNJ back in August. Meanwhile, my mom reported paying $1.49 here today, and the Sunoco that was @ $2.79 a little over a month ago was $1.64 earlier this week. :eek:

Oil prices slid closer to a new multiyear low Thursday because of growing doubts that the $789 billion stimulus package will reinvigorate the economy and demand for energy.

Retail gas prices, meanwhile, reached a new high for 2009 on Thursday and appeared headed back to $2 a gallon as refiners cut back on production.

Light, sweet crude for March delivery tumbled $1.96, more than 5 percent, to settle at $33.98 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract has closed lower every day this week.

I actually noticed that milk prices dropped $.40/gallon this week. Previously it was $2.99/gallon for most of the past year, but it dropped to $2.59/gallon this week. Of course pretty much everything else remains high and/or the quantity has been reduced. :irked:

Here is a different story on why gas prices are going up as oil prices go down:

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/090215/gas_prices_unhinged.html

I'd have to paste most of the article to properly explain. So quick summary:

Oil price on NYMEX = West Texas Oil
East coast refiners use foreign oil which is more expensive
West Texas oil was generally more expensive so no one bothered to build pipelines to get it out of the midwest
Now it's piling up and cheap with low demand

(This would explain the gas price map at gas buddy.)

[WickerBill]

$1.96 in Indy, down from a recent high of $2.05 midweek.

Here in Indy, Deisel has contunued to drop, and at a few stations, is a few cents cheaper than gas. First time I have seen that in many years.

[WickerBill]

On Monday night, I noticed RUL was 1.83 and thought "That's going up in the morning" because oil went up $5 on NYSE... sure enough, 2.09 next morning.


So frustrating -- it's months between barrel of oil and gallon of gas, but somehow a bad day on Wall St is a prime indicator of when BP is gonna gouge me.
