Last night on my way home from work, I noticed the local Shell in Seabrook, Maryland was down to $2.119 per gallon for 87. The Citgo in Glenn Dale, also on my way home, was at $1.999! My roommate, who works out in Annapolis, was able to fill up for $1.819. He was pleasantly shocked that it was only $28 to fill up his Xterra. One thing that'll be nice, is that I'll be able to fill up my '67 Catalina in one sitting again. The last time I did it, a couple months ago, the pump shut off at $75!

Replying to: jipster (Nov 21, 2008 5:25 am) Sounds redundant to me. I think it would have been redundant back in the day when leaded gas was still available, and you would specify "regular" or "unleaded". I don't remember anyone ever saying "leaded". But then today, I guess it's used to differentiate the octane ratings...regular unleaded, mid-grade unleaded, or premium/hi-test unleaded?

!!!! $1.46 at a station. Couple of $1.55s. First is a MARATHON and two Speedways (subsidiary of same). The $1.46 is a station that's often int he first 3 to go lower because they're in a high traffic and competitve area. !!!! $1.46 !!!! Excuse my excitement. And I have two full tanks of gas so I can't go fill up!!! Dern. I saw a news story that AAA has declared $1.98 the nationwide average. I feel sorry for larsb, but he did admit it's going opposite of what he wished only a few months back. I have to admit I'm stunned that it's doing this and he's turning out to lose his wish. I also admit I'm concerned about other fuels and methods of transportation being pursued just as much as when gas was $3.75 for our future good in agreement with larsb's actually wishes.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 21, 2008 11:21 am) Now we just have to hope for a little rational thinking about the cost vs benefit of boondoggles like ethanol.  Oh, and how about a little bit of expoloration and drilling to find our own reserves and KEEP the downward pressure on oil while we're at it. Hmm... this might make a good Dear Santa letter... |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 21, 2008 11:21 am) Now I have paper records at home going back further, and obviously the price was lower earlier in the decade, but still, when you consider I paid a record high $3.91 just in June of this year (never quite made it to $4.00), this record drop is unbelievable. Even Gary's prediction of $40.00 for a barrel of oil, seemingly so out of reach just a few months ago, is within the realm of possibility. But this won't last forever, and we still need to get hopping on alternative fuels (not corn-based ethanol though).

Haven't been out yet today (darn changed habits) but I'm guessing our local price is still holding at $2.07 because it's a Penn State football weekend. In the past we've been known to see slight bumps in the price on these weekends. Couldn't be that the influx of 100,000 people and their vehicles has anything to do with that could it?
