Gas prices... by lemko

...haven't budged in Philly all week. They seem to be stuck at $2.989/$2.999 for regular with Lukoil asking a ridiculous $3.199 for regular. I imagine business has fallen off there.

Sounds like Philly is doing some extra gouging. Everybody else's prices have come down.

ok, the oil companies are the rich ones here, they only drive up the prices to make an profit, trust me i know i have done some research on this, the oil companies are very rich in deed...........maybe if they dropped the price in half they would be able to make even more money because that is when ppl will start purchasing more as it is more affordable, yah sure the the katrina situation is part of the blame but the other part is the oil companies are hiking prices because they know the usa is going to freak out and buy a hole bunch of gas because they think that we are going to run out of it, ppl the U.S. has alot of gas on reserves just in case it does happen, did you know that the gas stations are barely making any profit from selling gas, even when the gas avarge was $1.25/gallon and ppl i have no clue why the gas prices are the only thing in the spot light as it is not the only thing that is rasing in price, any thing that you buy is going up because of the gas prices being so high that other companies are forst to raise to level out the cost of transporting goods due to gas.. i am a csr/collector for an major auto finance company and the customers i talk every tell me on how much their busnesses are suffering because of the gas prices....if every one in the USA would not buy gas for one day the oil companies would loose out on alot of money and that is because of how much of it is sold each day....and ppl wonder why i drive an electric car and let my gas powerd sit at home, the only time i would use the gas one is to go on vaction.

Another drop in price! by ateixeira

2nd drop in the last couple of days, down another 15 cents.
 
I had horrible timing, I paid $3.29 and now it's $2.99 again.
 
Then again, I had great timing for the last tank, and filled up just before the price spikes.

Down yet another 10 cents here! by 210delray

Central VA, this afternoon
 
Sheetz 87 - $2.599/gal. -- only 10 cents more than pre-Katrina.
 
Alas, my Frontier was running close to "E," so I half-filled the tank yesterday with $2.699 gas. First time since Katrina I put gas in. The Camry still has about 3/8 of a tank of pre-panic gas.
 
Meanwhile, so-called "Lowest Price," which had shot up to $3.499 at the height of the panic, is back down to $2.689 for 87.

jsjm17, everything I know about the gasoline industry you can put in a thimble. But one thing is for sure, if people stop buying gas for one day is not going to do zip.
 
What will make a difference is if people actually don't buy gas for a week or more, everybody! Also what will help, is if we continue to use less over a long period of time. Kudos to you for driving an electric!
 
Even if the oil companies cut oil prices in half, the demand would increase but the refineries probably couldn't keep up which would clog the system. It would put us right back where we are today, at maximum capacity.
 
I see fuel prices falling here in southern California as well. Premium seems to be about $3.09--- $3.16 depending on the station (as of yesterday). I will need to fill up today so, hopefully, it has fallen overnight.

pf... there are lots more flavors of ice cream i want to try!
speaking of gas prices, if you take the dubois exit, do not take a left to get gas.
back when i bought gas at sheetz(taking a right) for 2.56, the station if you took a left was was 2.94! this was mid august.
