#8197 of 8805 Re: SLOWLY it Dropped. Quarter By Quarter. Cent By Cent. [larsb] by andre1969 Nov 14, 2008 (7:10 am)
Replying to: larsb (Nov 14, 2008 7:00 am) $2 is cheap enough. Having it at $1.50 means people will have justified rationalizations for wasting gas.   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!
#8198 of 8805 yesterday it was $1.75 on I-65 S. of Indy by dave8697 Nov 14, 2008 (8:20 am)
It had been closer to $1.70 all week. Last night we jumped to $1.89.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 14, 2008 5:28 am) That should be a nice gathering, with all the family.   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
#8201 of 8805 Central VA by 210delray Nov 14, 2008 (11:24 am)
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!
#8202 of 8805 When I went past a $1.75 station yesterday by dave8697 Nov 14, 2008 (3:02 pm)
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?
#8203 of 8805 Waco, Texas by jfftx67 Nov 14, 2008 (4:27 pm)
$1.86 at Murphy's in Waco.
#8204 of 8805 in central ct... by explorerx4 Nov 14, 2008 (5:16 pm)

#8205 of 8805 Another dime by pf_flyer HOST Nov 15, 2008 (2:56 am)
$2.17 in State College, although that was 8 hours ago. Things may have changed this morning! Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 15, 2008 8:29 am)
#8206 of 8805 San Diego drops AGAIN by gagrice Nov 15, 2008 (8:22 am)
We are knocking on the $2 door here in San Diego. Best price today is $2.09. Diesel is not coming down as fast as Regular. It is still in the $2.59 region.
