Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

$2.41 if I wanted to drive about 4 miles. Which, I think I would. smile

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

If I wanted to drive a mile, to my regular gas station, I'd pay $2.49.

Sin City Girl · Member

Anywhere between $2.93 and $3.08

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

It just went up to $2.99 today.

Oh, we're bad but Illinois is worse. Going from Indy to Kansas City, we NEVER got gas in Illinois...

It might have been a fluke, but back in July, had I filled up in Illinois, I would have saved about 50 cents a gallon. Stupid me, I got nailed, in Indiana. cry

Renegade Time Lord · Am I A Good Man?

Current prices in my state range from a high of $4.56 to a low of somewhere around $3.64 (at Costco). The station nearest my house which I pass by on a regular basis is $3.95. These are all prices for regular.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

2.95 here

I have friends in Indiana still and when we chat about gas prices, they are always higher in Indiana. Apparently there is an additive in gas that most surrounding states require. Indiana does NOT require the additive so they have to have other gas sent in. This causes the price to be higher.

Typically in Ohio the gas is about .25 cheaper than Indiana. At least.

I filled up tonight for $2.67 a gallon. Got $61 worth.

I just checked. In my neighborhood, you would have paid $2.71 for premium.

I filled up election day. I knew it would go up immediately after.

I told someone at work that it would go up after election day and they told me I was crazy.

People who say the government doesn't manipulate the gas prices are the ones that are naively crazy.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

$2.69 and $2.89 - two different stations, diagonally opposite each other. Guess who had lines waiting to gas up? :)

It actually went down here this week. $2.77 to $2.95 here

It went down here too. On Election Day and before it was 3.09. After Election Day it has been below 3.00 from 2.99 - 2.95.

Don't get used to it. Your stations may have filled up their tanks later than the others at the lower rate.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Of course, I do expect prices to go down as soon as Congress approves the Keystone pipeline.

Sin City Girl · Member

Our has gone down since Tuesday also. I saw it for $2.89 by my house and $3.09 by work. My light came on just as I pulled into work.

What's crazy is the lower income areas the price is higher. Of course anywhere near the strip or airport it is probably still in the $3.50 range.

elphaba · Newbie

I've just done the math to convert $ cdn/ liter to $ us/ gallon. I'm depressed now.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Ours went down to $2.60 today. If I drove into downtown to Sam's we could get it for twenty cents less.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Ours is right at the $3.00 mark for premium.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Ours is still at 2.95 which is not typical. It usually goes WAY up on Friday before the weekend driving begins.

Or gas prices could be just dropping due to the cold weather and end of the "driving season".

I fully expect them to go up around the holiday when people are driving - but that will be supply and demand talking. Not a conspiracy theory.

This sounds interesting. What were the results?

elphaba · Newbie

About $3.44 US a gallon. We likely have near the lowest gas prices in the country.

Gas prices are all about conspiracy. It a politician whispers "possible oil shortage" the prices skyrocket. It's ridiculous.

I might have to buy gas before then.

I meant prices are going to really drop.

cadiver · Senior Member

Well, I will be the downer, I do not think they will drop much. Oil is a global commodity traded on speculation. The oil is still beng supplied in canada, xl just will change the delivery system. global supply will not change.

just hanging around · Newbie

we buy gas at Costco. lately it has bounced between $2.67-2.75. it actually depends which Costco we are at. the one closer to I-95 tends to be higher than the one in Manassas.

WYSIWYG · Guru

I Filled up on Election day. I think I paid $2.89.9

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

$2.57 today.

Renegade Time Lord · Am I A Good Man?

The prices are continuing to fall here. The gas station a couple of blocks from my workplace was $3.88 for regular today.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

I never really minded paying over $4.00 for gas in Kauai. Everything is so close!

Ok so I get a lot of people think the drop in prices has to do with an election season, I don't think so. I am a scholar of business, study this stuff for fun. Yep very geeky. Thing is the US demand has dropped and our production had increased. I firmly believe the Saudi's see this and wanting to keep their market share are over producing letting the prices drop really low. Letting the price drop low will make US oil extraction costly, meaning the cost will be more than the revenue which will compel the US to cut back on production. I believe the Saudi's are manipulating us.

Certainly wouldn't be the first time, and we know it won't be the last. furious

Much more reasonable of an explanation.

but don't tell LL - she thinks the prices are rising! 😉

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

The price of gas is still falling. $1.75 around here.

What are you guys paying?

Divine Geek · Guru

It's $1.99 here

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We paid $1.57 yesterday.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Saturday I needed to get some gas cause I was about out.

The place I stopped had gas at 2.00. I put $15. in and when we pulled out it was 1.99.

Then I went Monday to actually fill up. I had a fuel perk of .70 and the station I had to use it at, I got gas for 1.48.

Filled up the van for $22.

Haven't done that ever.

I hope it stays down through Summer. We may get to go to Williamsburg instead of Tampa.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Just paid $1.96 a gallon. If I had that station's fuel card it would have been $1.86.

Renegade Time Lord · Am I A Good Man?

The station nearest my home is $3.39 a gallon for regular. The gas prices have been steadily falling.
