I paid less than $3/Gallon today for gas

[xsited1]

I started this thread 10-06-2008 and on Thanksgiving I paid $1.419 for a gallon of gas. My how times change.

It hasn't been that low for about 3 years.

Gasoline Price History

I just love the first line in that linked page....

The following plots show how much I paid for each gallon of gas I bought over the past 28 years or so.

Wonder what else he charts....

$1.71 on the low end in the Portland Metro.

It's sad that we should think that's a good thing.
What was it a year ago?


When it's down to $1.89 a gallon, THEN I'll do a happy dance! I drive 50 miles round trip to my job every day. I think I'm going to get a Jetson's Jet Pack soon!

lol at my post from Oct. 6th-I filled up my tank yesterday at $1.67 a gallon, so I guess it's time for my HAPPY DANCE!

I say enjoy these prices while they last. I think this is going to be short lived.

Nearly 2 months now and still dropping... How low will be bottom be? It will hit and go back up... It always does.

$1.82 but . . . w/my gas points from the local grocery store I got it for .66/gal. Got 16 gallons for a mere $10.71. Holy cow I will surely enjoy this ride while it lasts!!

$1.65

You all realize these prices will not last through the summer. Once demand rebounds and the summer blends are needed, we'll go right back to $3/gallon gas, or even $4/gallon.

What worries me even more though... I just hope people aren't thinking of going back to their fat 12mpg Hummers.

wait, so you are saying it has to do with supply and demand?????????????????????

You said you were a liberal, I don't believe it. Are you on fucking meds? ITS THE MARKET AND SPECULATORS NOT THE SIMPLE THEORY OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND

I just paid $1.29 a gal at Safeway. I got 50¢ off per gal. I was shocked when I paid $20 for a fill up. It was nearly orgasmic.

Call me what you want, I don't care really. Either way, I never said it was that simple, but you realize speculation is simply a variation of that very demand you're talking about, and the reason the prices are falling is because the bad economy has made it so that fewer people are buying that oil, and in turn, the drop in demand and excess supply makes it a less worthy commodity to speculate on.

Gas prices are good but hope everyone knows that means when i does eventually go up it will be worse than before.

that's what I was thinking this morning as I pumped my $1.68 a gallon gas. First time in over a year I filled my car up for less than $20.00! it was NICE!

 

[auditor0007]

$1.25 by February.

 

[FistyTheBadger]

It is around 1.69 here in Socal.

$1.359 on Thursday.

I miss the good old days when gas was pushing $4.00 a gallon.
I figure if gas gets to $9.00 a gallon it will ease the traffic problems and reduce my commute time by about 25%.
One can only hope.
