#8235 of 8805 OK, I'm old by pf_flyer HOST Nov 21, 2008 (6:48 am)
I remember Dad getting ticked off when gas went up to 33.9
#8236 of 8805 $1.46 by imidazol97 Nov 21, 2008 (11:21 am)
!!!! $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.

I get the feeling that one, good, long look at $4 gas actually did change a LOT of habits and attitudes.   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) Amazing, so much so that I looked at my spreadsheets going back to Feb. 2004, and the lowest I paid was $1.50 on 3/1/04.   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).

#8239 of 8805 We'll see by pf_flyer HOST Nov 21, 2008 (12:33 pm)
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?

I remember the summer of 2004, gas shot up to over $2.00 per gallon in these parts, and as I recall it didn't really come down a whole lot that fall/winter. Going through my paper records, I did see around $1.89 back in May 2005, and that was the last time it was below $2.00...until this week.   Slowly but surely, I've been trying to enter my Intrepid's fuel history onto an Excel spreadsheet. So far I've only gone backwards through to late 2006. I know those early years are going to be tedious, especially back when I used to deliver pizzas and sometimes I'd fill up every other day.   I remember the first time I filled that car up, in November 1999, it was around $1.39 per gallon. And briefly in late 2001/early 2002 it dipped below $1.00
#8241 of 8805 San Diego under the National Average??? by gagrice Nov 21, 2008 (12:56 pm)
Just topped the Sequoia at Costco. $1.95 per gallon. Then driving home I passed an indy selling gas for $1.84. How can that be with out high CA taxes? Diesel is not keeping pace. Most places selling D2 at $2.49 with a few at $2.43. That is the biggest gap percentage wise we have had.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Nov 21, 2008 12:33 pm) Yeah, living at the shore with our main drag being the only way to hit 18 miles of beach I've seen that selective price adjustment in action. not this time of year though. to everything there is a season....   I had a nice moment at lunch. I had let the car get down to where the fuel light lit up. The only place I could hit on lunch hour and still have lunch is that one station between my home and work. It was $1.89. I thought that was so last week and only put $10 worth in!
