Topped off the Astro last nite at $1.59 by dave8697

The dollar amount was $23, less than the 27 gallon tank size. I had a little over a quarter tank to start.
 
Last time gas was $1.59, I bought a used car that got 27.5 mpg commuting and drove it 30,000 miles in the first year. When I bought my 18 mpg hwy truck in June 2001, gas was $1.30. It went to $2.00 by just after 9-11, ending an era where trucks were bought for having very low depreciation when used for commuting. The truck still only has 25000 miles on it. It's lack of use by me mirrors America's lack of hunger for new ones since 9-11.
 
Funny thing is 9-11 helped real estate tremendously. People stormed out of stocks and bought up sunbelt real estate.
 
Surrendering gains in last 2 years:
real estate
gas
wall streel
 
not surrendering:
precious metals

This is lower than I would have guessed by gagrice

I topped off yesterday about noon at Costco. Price was $1.95. That afternoon the price went down to $1.84. What is real crazy is the station closest to the TJ border has kept their price at $3.89 to gouge the Mexican drivers that were coming over the border. It seems when TJ was selling gas cheap the lines were long and stations ran out of gas. Diesel is staying 25% above gas.

Still more downside. The other day I saw unleaded futures prices under $1. Not sure how low we'll go, but it seems like prices in the under $2 range are going to be with us for a while yet.

What happened to all of the people who said George Bush was lowering fuel prices leading up to the election to help McCain get elected?
 
BTW the lowest in the Minneapolis area accord to twincitiegasprice.com (where the site was started) is $1.59
 
Man I wish I still had my Tahoe

I can hardly wait to see if we've had a drop this morning
 
We're still about 20 to 30 cents higher than the Carlisle area 90 minutes away.
