of sub-$2 gas in Maryland. Most of Laurel is in the $1.90-$1.99 range. That's about 7-8 miles north of me. Costco out in Beltsville is $1.91. Out in Millersville (about 15 miles NE, I'm seeing around $1.95-$2.00. Most of the really close places to me (Bowie, Glenn Dale, Greenbelt, Seabrook) are still running $2.15-$2.30. As for thanksgiving, I'm meeting up with my Granddad, and taking him to a big family get-together about 60 miles away. I would've done it even with $4.00/gal gas, but these cheaper prices will be a nice bonus.

Replying to: larsb (Nov 12, 2008 6:01 am) $2.152 Diesel down to $3.039 Phoenix is at $2.17. At this pace, $2 gas is here by November 22nd. |

Replying to: larsb (Nov 14, 2008 6:10 am) I cannot wait. I love it when my predictions come true. Though a big part of the country is already benefiting from sub $2 gas. I don't think we have caught up with refinery capacity on diesel. I doubt the demand dropped as much as it did for gas. Trucks kept delivering goods. Though construction use is way down, at least here in CA.

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 14, 2008 6:47 am) $2 is cheap enough. Having it at $1.50 means people will have justified rationalizations for wasting gas.

Replying to: larsb (Nov 14, 2008 7:00 am) I remember when gas prices first hit $1.50 and started staying there, around these parts. It was late 1999, just after I bought my 2000 Intrepid. As I recall, my first fillup of that car was $1.39/gal (don't ask me why that figure sticks in my head), and it quickly went to around $1.50 soon after, and by the summer of 2000 was pushing $2.00. So if gas stays around $2.00/gal, when it was $1.50/gal 9 years ago, I'd consider that reasonable. A 33% increase over 9 years is probably only around 3% annually, once you account for compounding. I remember people complaining about that $1.50 per gallon way back then, though, because we had gotten used to it hovering around $1.00-1.10 for so long! |

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 14, 2008 5:28 am)  I'm not sure if our fuel prices will be in the $2 or sub-$2 range anytime soon but $2.20 is really nice. I just wish I would've waited to fill the Olds up until now; paid $2.65/gal a couple of weeks - which still is a heck of a lot better than what I paid the last time I filled it up in September. |

...in NE Philly: RUG = $2.15 Ultra = $2.52 |

RUG $1.95 at Hess and Sheetz, $1.92 at the new BP (former Valero). Nice to fill up for $30 now instead of $60! |

I thought about how it was $.75 when I got my first car. What do the Saudi's need to have an emergency meeting with other OPEC nations about? Gas is still $2.59 in Northern Palm Beach County, Fl. When I left there in 1993, RUG was $1.30 there and $1.15 in Indy, and then it hit $1.53 in 1999. $2 is a fair price today if $1.53 was OK back in Clinton Days. It depends on how much $1.53 hurt back then. If you paid $153k for a house in 1999, wouldn't you want to get $200k for it today? |
