$2.49 for gas

[underpants]

Filled up the other day. Kroger member discount 60¢ off.
We bought a lot of gift cards for Christmas so that must be it.

I need to start doing what I’ve known other people doing - buy themselves gift cards at Kroger (2-4x in points) for Lowe’s or Amazon etc.

Filled up my 10 gallon tank for less than $25. 👍😀

1. $2.99 per gallon in Lafayette, Indiana

Starting to drop!

[doc03]

2. Here in rural eastern Ohio gas is $3.18, where the money is in Columbus it is $2.57. nt

[WHITT]

20. Yep

$2.57 at several stations around Columbus. My relatives are hoping it spreads NE.

3. I had a .70 discount luckily today

My truck holds 36 gal. Last fill up was $111. This one only $84.80

4. Down To $3.089 Here

At the Circle K in town. Other station are about 7¢ higher.
I have the saver card for K, so I got 6¢ off. Paid $3.029.
Where are the morons with their "I did this" stickers now?

5. Funny. I looked for that.

I’d think the attendants are taking them off.

7. Kinda makes me wish I hadn't peeled the one I did a few weeks ago

Prices aren't down TOO much yet around me, but they have dropped. I think I filled up 3 weeks ago for 4.09 (at an expensive pump due to not planning), and 3.69 this past weekend.

16. Gas At That Station...

...was $3.619 the Friday before Thanksgiving.
So, basically a 53¢ drop in 38 days.
Faster than I expected.
They're only down around 15¢, on average, nationwide. In Illinois, around 18¢.
Not sure why it's so much more dramatic here.

6. Wow! I bet lower gas prices is the lead story on all the news shows tonight

Wait. No, I don't think I will bet on that. Sure, when it was advantageous to stick it to President Biden a couple of weeks ago, every network had a story about high gas prices. And supply chain problems. And the heartbreak of psoriasis. And any other crap they wanted to fling at the President.

Today? Gas prices are back down. Supply chain problems had far less impact than the doom-and-gloomers were predicting. And the Dow closed above 36,000 again today. Whether you agree about how much difference most of this stuff makes to people, these are some of the favored metrics for slagging on President Biden. Now that those metrics are favorable to the administration, the networks are going to have to focus on something else out of the President's control to gripe about.

10. Nailed it.

Next: Why hasn’t Biden explained how HE would handle the comet in Don’t Look Down!?!?!

13. They're not lower everywhere

A good chunk of the northeast never saw any of those reductions and I'm seeing the few that did lower theirs around here are starting to creep up again.

Not trying to pin this on Biden (because there really isn't that much he can do about it) but don't put that blanket "look at those lower prices" statements out there and expect no pushback.

17. They went with this on CNN this morning:

[Tree-Hugger]

24. Nope

Our local news this evening had a dire warning that gas prices will sooooaaaarrr to $4.00/gallon by the Summer.

8. I filled up today for 2.69

9. It's been $3.45/gallon for months here (Montana)

We never saw the drop in prices that the rest of the nation did--it's still $3.32 at Sam's, even.

[durablend]

14. $3.55+ at many of them here in PA

For the most part the only ones that lowered theirs any were the warehouse clubs and Walmart. Even places like Sheetz and Wawa that you'd think would drop mostly didn't budge more than a few cents, if at all.

edit: and it's not the gas taxes causing it....plenty of states with 10-20 cent lower taxes went down 50 cents or more.

11. Thanks, Biden and Obama!

12. Illinois here...$3.15 is the best I could find.

Screw the blow dry blowhards of repube-owned corporate media. t

18. It's $4.55 in Costa Rica. Lucky you guys!!

[dsc]

19. Our cheapest stations are down to $2.75

what is weird is that the relationship of the prices has changed. On my trip to Ohio the cheapest gas has always been in Virginia on 77. That is no longer the case, both Ohio and my local prices were better. Dayton was in the low $2.80s while VA was just under 3.

[MontanaMama]

21. $3.35 a gallon

here in western MT.

[ShazamIam]

22. The prices listed make me sad, I just paid $4.49 at the cash discount station, North Sierras, CA nt

[Midnight Writer]

23. I get 4% cash back for gas if I use my credit card. So, the higher the price, the more I get back!

Yoo-hoo! Can't beat a deal like that!
