Are gas prices coming down in your area?
It was $1.61/gal here over Labor Day, now down to $1.58. What's the trend out there?

2. Yep ... we're getting close to election season and they don't ...
want to scotch their boy's chances. They'll rest for a little while with the many, many billions they gouged and if their boy is lucky, no one will notice that just before the spikes, he started buying oil to "fill" the national reserve.

Shhhhhh ...

13. A hint
You are right. I think we should watch every holiday for price spikes. There normally are because of higher demand but they will go much higher because of GW's campaign. And they will think up an excuse (crisis) to blame it on.

4. not a cent
It was $1.699 on Labor Day and is $1.699 now. It had gone done from the $1.719 it was around a week before Labor Day. These are the cheapest prices BTW. I have paid up to 5 cents more due to needing gas in a particular place.

7. $2.13 a gallon and I am pissed
Here in Southern California, the prices kept rising day in, day out, 3 cents here, 5 there, and 17 days ago they froze at $2.13. Prices have not raised one cent, or dropped one cent since.


Hitting a peak, and staying there for 17 straight days is proof enough for me of collusion. They aren't even playing with us by raising it to $2.14, or lowering it to $2.12. Just 17 straight days of this crap, and I bet they show record profits this quarter.

10. Oh yeah
The cheapest it is out here is $1.99 a gallon, and I think that's what it is at Costco. And you people are talking about gas being at $1.58 a gallon like its a bad thing! Broken gas pipe my @**!

11. No, gas prices are still what they were just before Labor Day.
We don't have regulations concerning price gouging and corporate ownership of gas stations around this county (there's only something like 50 franchise or independantly owned stations in the 2000 or so around the area; the rest are owned by the oil companies)- so there's been no reason for the corporations. The cheapest I can find for 87 grade is $2.05. Automotive grade Diesel (grade 2?) is cheaper for once, at around $1.60.
