That don't leave much for the oil companies, refiners and gas stations.
 
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!

We also don't hear about price reductions due to lower fuel costs. Remember when everyone raised prices because of fuel costs? Now we're on the other end--no price reductions. Guess where the extra profit is going?
 
Re oil companies not making huge dollar amounts but probably still making same percentage profits. It doesn't suit media's purpose to impeach on administration, therefore we won't hear. Note GE owns NBC and all the variations--lots of media.

Well, this isn't a huge drop, but I used to pay $4.49 for a gallon of chocolate milk at the local Giant. Sometimes it would go on sale for $3.99. They also run a special on milk, where after you've purchased 6 gallons (doesn't have to all be at once, obviously) you get a coupon for a free gallon.
 
Anyway, yesterday the regular, non-sale price had dropped to $4.25 for a gallon. So, a 5% drop. Not huge, but I'll take it. Now the interesting thing will be to see if it still goes on sale as often. And if they keep running the 7th gallon free special.
 
As for gas prices, I just checked online at Marylandgasprices.com, and see that the Shell in Laurel, where I paid $1.879 last Tuesday, is down to $1.719 today. I'm driving my '79 5th Ave today, and might run up there on my lunch break. But, I'm still around half a tank, and by the time that car needs gas it might be even cheaper!

Local Hess has RUG at $1.76. We're back to our usual position just below the national avg.
 
BTW - I haven't checked in here in a few days. Where's larsb? He stopped posting the national avg. on the 20th. when it was $2.02
 
Today national avg. is down to $1.885
 
Have to start wondering just how low it is going to go.

We've tended to be about 20 cents above the national average so I'm assuming the downward momentum is still there as we're at $1.97
 
I think it's going to be interesting as we move forward and come to those traditional times of increased travel. Last summer's fuel price spike got our attention!

It could be argued it was the straw that broke the camel's back. With the stock market in the toilet will investor's have the money to speculate and run up the oil price like they did last Spring? I'm hoping a few of them lost their shorts when the price crashed. My guess is the price of oil will continue down. It could go nearly as low as it did 10 years ago if the World economy does not rebound.

That was at a Fred Meyers, which is usually a nickle or more cheaper than the majors. Diesel was $2.65 there.
 
And I saw a Stinker station with $2.75 on their signboard.

down to $1.53! That's about 60-70 miles away from me though, too far to ever drive to just for gas! Closer to home, it's down to $1.63 in some parts of Laurel, Maryland.
 
I wonder if we will see $1.00 per gallon before this is all over? Maybe not as a national average, but perhaps isolated pockets here and there?
