Holy cow gas prices!

[minivan2]

$3.57 per gallon by my house! Lowest I've seen it in years! How much is it by you?

[edhopper]

1. Too much supply

demand is slowing.

[elleng]

5. Demand is inelastic, imo;

supply is another thing.

[edhopper]

13. Not when large economies

like Europe slow down.

Either way, we know this is short term because we refuse to consider alternative, renewable energy.

[Stallion]

2. I Buy Premium-but I've seen Unleaded at $2.88 Here in Dallas

nm

[elleng]

3. Saw $3.07 today in 2 places,

but $3.2? elsewhere. $3.57 is LOW? We'd have a revolution here, in MD/DC!

[minivan2]

6. It's southern California

We always have higher prices than everybody else.

[elleng]

7. Another reason I don't live there!

[minivan2]

9. I was born here and still live with my parents

So I'm kind of forced to live here until I move out.

[elleng]

16. Guess so!

[peace13]

4. Fill your tanks because after the election.....

...it will be a thing of the past. $3.15 p/g in central Ohio today.

[ieoeja]

26. Are you suggesting the oil industry wants to make a DEMOCRATIC administration look good?

I am misunderstanding. Or you misstated.

I had just moved to the north side of Indianapolis before election day 1984. So I was still registered to vote where I grew up in southern Indiana. After voting I drove back to Indy. I hit the south side of Indy just as the polls were closing.

In 1984 gas prices, OPEC embargo, etc of the '70s were still very prevalent in people's minds. And I noticed a few weeks before Reagan's re-election that prices had really come down a lot. As I was approaching Indy every gas station I passed was changing their signs. I continued seeing this for my entire drive straight through the city to the north side. They were all raising prices. Just after the polls closed.

Every single one of them without exception. It was so in-your-face blatant they had lowered prices for a few weeks just to make Reagan look good. And nobody cared. He was the Teflon President then just as he seems to be now.

35. It's about squeezing Putin. n/t

[Tweedy]

43. There is a glut

Especially in the Midwest. We also have a FERQ going after oil speculators finally.

[peace13]

42. Nope...

Low gas equals happy people and no need to go to the polls to vote against the lazy so and so's. Just my guess but I expect gas to go up after the election. We'll see.

As you say, it's not a new trick. We are robbed right in front of our eyes by this price fixing.

[Lars39]

8. $2.75

[99th_Monkey]

10. Oregon $3.40 nt

[Lil Missy]

11. $2.89 here

[LooseWilly]

12. Just a matter of time before renewed bombing in Iraq pushes prices back up...

... and if humvees start rolling again that'll suck up all the more supply.

[Tom_Foolery]

14. $2.84 in my old Kentucky home. n/t

[madokie]

15. 3.05 for regular straight gas

a couple days ago. Our car (2014) focus hatch back gets a half mile more per dollar when using the regular no ethanol over the 10% ethanol regular.
almost 11 miles to the dollar the last fill up.

[minivan2]

18. But what about the gay gas?

Don't assume that all gas is straight!

Of course this is

[Go Vols]

21. Real gas is about 3.15 here

corn gas is around 2.80

[Behind the Aegis]

17. $2.66 in NE OK.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

19. RBOB futures at $2.14... up $0.04 since yesterday n/t

[oneshooter]

20. $2.73 for Shell regular, $2.63 with .10 off with a Kroger card. In South Texas ( Houston area) n/t

[upaloopa]

22. It was reported yesterday that the U.S. is now

exporting oil taken from shale by fracking. The Saudis are keeping oil production high to put pressure on American companies whose cost of fracking is higher than the Saudis cost of production. They want to see how low the price per barrel will have to go before the fracking companies call it quits.

[blkmusclmachine]

23. It was <$2/gal before GWB was appointed Prez

[DebJ]

24. $3.09. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw that.

South Central Pa

[Blue_In_AK]

25. It's about $3.65 here.

[hobbit709]

27. Just paid $2.71.9

[Cirque du So-What]

28. Cheapest I see in my locale

NE OH: $2.95

[bigwillq]

29. 3.60ish in my part of CT

We're always on the high end in CT. tax, tax, tax....

[Piedras]

30. As low as $3.43 @ Costco ranging up to $3.83 @ Shell in San Luis Obispo, CA - Gas Buddy

Gas prices in San Luis Obispo, California have come down considerably. Prices here are usually near the highest in the state. I remember paying $4.50+ in 2008.

I oppose fracking. I do like lower gas prices. Fear and strongly oppose the possibility of fracking locally in the Monterey Formation. Hope Santa Barbara County voters successfully pass their anti-fracking initiative which could lead to 10,000 new wells if it fails.

[intaglio]

31. Religious methane costs that much??

i'll get me coat ...

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. $2.84....$2.54 with my Kroger fuel points.

[BootinUp]

37. They must be making money on you some where, lol.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

48. if you can shop there and it still be less than

other grocery stores AND get fuel points, it's a win-win...

sP

[Tarheel_Dem]

33. Filled up yesterday @ $2.96/gal.

[TorchTheWitch]

34. they still aren't down to anything close to pre-Katrina levels

$3.57 for a gallon of gas is just as ridiculous as it would have been before Katrina and quite some time afterward people still were pissed off about the price of gas. By now we've just gotten accustomed to the ridiculously high prices that have never come down to anything close to pre-Katrina levels.

This is nothing to celebrate. And you can bet your last dime we aren't ever going to see gas prices down to pre-Katrina levels.

[freshwest]

36. $3.49 at my local COSTCO, down from $4.09 last month.

[99Forever]

38. Paid $2.82 at Costco in Coon Rapids, MN yesterday. n/t

[Warpy]

39. I don't want to poop on your petroleum parade

but it's $2.77 at the no-name station near me.

How low will it go? Dunno. How long will it stay there? Probably until the second week of November.

Yes, I am a cynic.

[bigwillq]

41. I said the same thing in another thread

a few days ago.

I said Gas Prices will rise again on Nov. 5.

[Chellee]

40. $3.06/gal

Northeastern Indiana

[snooper2]

44. Just filled up $2.82 this morning in DFW

[liberal_at_heart]

45. $3.11/gallon at Costco near my house.

I wish I could afford to buy a Prius right now. The best time to buy a hybrid is when gas prices are low.

[Hoppy]

46. $2.73

And because I buy at a station that doesn't charge extra for credit card purchases, I get 3% back from the credit card.

[LiberalElite]

47. And where are the rethugs

giving Obama the credit? They sure gave him the blame for high gas prices.

[B Calm]

49. $2.98 per gallon, under GW Bush it was almost $5.00 per gallon.

[HereSince1628]

50. Saw 2.99 in SE Wisconsin... it's a landmark price

will it's appearance stimulate consumers or will consumers eye it as a fleeting tease?

[WinkyDink]

51. Why should I buy cow gas?

[ileus]

52. 3 even for 87 right now...still waiting for 1.25

I did pay 3.21 for 100% gas this pretty sweet...

Of course I'll keep waiting for 1.25 petrol.

[customerserviceguy]

53. Hovering around the $3 mark in NJ

A few cents more than that for credit, a few cents less for cash.

No, I don't buy gas in NY, I work in NJ, and it's fifty cents cheaper there.

[Aerows]

55. $2.78

I can't believe it!

[PasadenaTrudy]

56. $3.59

In my L.A. hood....cheap!

[Tikki]

57. $3.23 up the Coast from Los Angeles.

I will tell you this is such a bonus.

We can take the grandkids just about anywhere, buy tickets, eat lunch out and not worry so much about the budget.
Plus we dive a hybrid...
