Replying to: steve_ (Nov 23, 2008 3:25 pm)  I am still amazed that San Diego with 67 cents in tax is selling gas for $1.84. That don't leave much for the oil companies, refiners and gas stations.

So far the lowest prices round here are $2.19 what are they up to? Seems there is too much to profit. Is it me or can it be they R waiting for you to buy up those SUV's before spiking the price up again. Folks it's not a matter of it getting better it's more like we were had! All those TRILLIONs in profit went in someone's pocket at our cost!

Replying to: Exigente (Nov 23, 2008 4:35 pm) And they are still going. Percentwise they are still making the same money. (That was the logic that it was okay for them to make more when the price was higher--because it was the same percentage). Think: At $4.10 / gal, $3.50 was cost of gas exclusive of 60 cents state and federal tax (give or tax). Now the gas is $1.50 locally which meas $.90 is the cost of the fuel. $.90/$3.50 ratio is .27 approx. We're paying 1/4 of the cost a few months ago. Some really funny things were happening int he financial end of this--all the magic paper trading with no oil behind the contracts. Oddly, the same thing happens with mney in the financial end of the markets for mortgages, lots of funny paper with no money behind it. I wonder from where our country's economic problems emminate? |

in Willcox, AZ. Lowest price in town is $1.94/gal for RUG, this price can be had at 4 different Willcox gas stations. I'm gonna quit calling it ghastly if these prices keep dropping. I really never thought we'd drop below $2.00/gal ever again. This is truly a phenomenon going on here. Let's still keep preparing to buy our 2010 Pininfarina-Bollore B-Zero's. Ya never know if gas prices will sharply rise again. The B-Zero gets 153 miles per charge and only takes 5 hours to charge up. It's an Italian-French micro-car being developed with what looks to be the smartest (LMP) battery technology designed yet. They (Bollore of France) have spent the last 15 years developing this technology and on the LeBlue test car the batteries have gone 125,000 klm's and needed no maintenance, nor have they had any problems with them operating properly. Bollore is not going to separately lease the batteries, it has just been discovered, too, so the B0 can be bought as a complete package, batteries and all. As you can tell, I'm not excited about this new all-electric automobile at all.

I live in Bakersfield Ca.,and gas today is at 1.85 per gal, and goes up to max 1.99 depending on what station you want. I never thought it would cost only 45.00 dollars to fill my Dodge Ram up.

Was able to fill-up at the Shell in Oswego for $1.90 on Friday. This morning at my usual place petrol was $1.85 for 87 octane. Checking my records haven't purchased fuel that low in price since 13-Oct-06. Yes, over 2 years ago!! My wallet thanks these lower prices and fortunately my right foot has become light again (was getting a little heavy when fuel was in the mid-$2.50 range).

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 23, 2008 4:17 pm) Where's the media at with that? For the last couple of years all we heard about was record profits for oil companies. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, we hear nothing about how much money the oil companies have lost. Poor oil companies.  $1.64 in Louisville.... RUG!
