Filled tank at 1.96 per gallon this morning Lexington S.C.

Been a long time since that price.

1. Celebrate while you can...

you must know by now that it never lasts.

2. Lucky you!

We can be happy that we dropped down to $5.50 a gallon here.

8. I'm assuming gas is measured in metric system there

and priced in Euros, so that conversion isn't the easiest thing to do. Thank you for helping us to keep perspective.

10. Actually, it IS easy. You just have to know what figures to use.

Just take the price per liter (€1.43 yesterday), multiply by 1.14 for dollars, and then multiply by 3.7875 for a gallon.

13. Piece of cake!

You're right, the math is simple. The hard part, for me, anyway, would be memorizing those conversion factors. I'm sure it would be easier if I used it frequently, but at my age, my brain balks at being asked to learn new tricks.

15. I understand completely

As a Texan in the Rheinland, it is a very old trick for me! Besides, as I am paid in dollars but have to pay the bills in euros, I have to keep track of that kind of thing.

3. Nice to know there are DU members in Lexington!

My family roots are in/around the Midlands and I still visit there very often. I always find the gas prices in Lexington are about 20-40 cents less a gallon than they are in the metro ATL area.

Keep up the good fight and have a good Tuesday!

4. Always wondered why

Your right always lower than Columbia, Sumter, Orangeburg

5. SC seems to always be pretty cheap. And south GA

Some parts of Orlando are nearing $2 $2.10 closest to me

[raccoon]

19. SC has a low gas tax. Nt

6. Columbia SC COSTCO

$1.85 on Sunday.
Many places under $2.00.

9. Whoa!

Thats like early 90s or seems like.

7. Until they finally tore it down a couple years ago, we had an old station that still

had $2.08 I think displayed. I'm not holding my breath to see that here in Idaho, but it's getting close to going below three bucks a gallon anyway. I have a Silverado with a tank that lasts me two months as little as I drive. I have a couple weeks until I need to fill it up. I think that might be good timing.

14. I have an old photo somewhere

Pumping gas in my 16th birthday present a 1971 gran prix. Sign read .99 per gallon

A real date actually was 20 bucks

11. What that really means is..we are back to 40 cents a gallon, maybe less.

What we bought in 1970, has gone up five times, maybe six. I guess it depends on how one looks at it.
In the 60s it was 35 cents a gallon, but a car cost under $2000...Maybe under 1800. It really is hard to determine. But people don't look at it like that. Oh well?

12. Saw gas here in NE Ohio

$1.89/gal over the past weekend.

16. tossing water on your glee

Low gas prices mean less road tax, so worse roads. They also lead to people buying larger cars/trucks that get worse milage and add more pollution to our planet, and cause more road damage. And low prices lead to local/state government not supporting more mass transit because gas is so inexpensive, who would use it? Yep I like low prices, but I fear they lead to more problems in the long run. FYI, I don't have a hybrid or electric car, so low gas great for my pocket book.

17. Global warming is cheaper today. Yay.

18. E85 @ $1.54 Sunday

This was west-central Missouri (and we generally have really cheap gas).
