Regular fell a few more cents this week at the majors. Add 12 cents to bump up to midgrade and another 12 to get to premium. And diesel was $2.55 at the Chevron where I noted the $1.53 regular. |

| Making a road trip to Pittsburgh and back today, so I'll have some pricing sightings later in the day! | |

Saw $1.459 yesterday. Lowest since about January 2004 here. Amazing. |

I've been checking www.marylandgasprices.com fairly regularly, and it looks like the drop has stalled out to around $1.45/gal for 87. However, with every passing day it seems like more stations are dropping down to the $1.45-$1.55 range. Still, I'll take it! I still remember the first time I had to fill up my 2000 Intrepid, back in November, 1999. That's when gas was just starting to shoot up in this area. Prior to that, we'd whine if it got above $1.15-$1.20! That first fill-up was $1.389 per gallon. Adjusted for inflation, that would be about $1.71 in 2007. The inflation calculator I used didn't have 2008 numbers yet, but if you figure 4-5%, that would put it up to $1.78-1.80. So at this point, I figure gasoline is costing me less in real dollars than it was 9 years ago. I can deal with that.

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 22, 2008 12:05 pm) It will be a while before I need another car. I've got three cars that have over 120K each on them and run just fine. No sense getting rid of a basically free car that works. Fourth vehicle is teh van and that still has payments on it.

Replying to: fezo (Dec 22, 2008 12:26 pm) I imagine the first car that's going to need replacing is my Intrepid. It has about 143,000 miles on it and is running fine. I don't drive it much myself, but have been letting my car-less roommate use it to get to work (about 5 miles away for him), and he's just been paying for gas and kicking in some for maintenance, insurance, etc. But when that car finally goes, if I get a new car, he sure as hell ain't driving it!

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 22, 2008 12:36 pm) My Accord is about the age of your Intrepid but with a bit over 160K on it. My wife who is on teh road a lot uses that. Since she put miles on a car and isn't the best about how she treats it (it's also her office...) I figure when that dies I'll just get a more recent equivalent. No sense subjecting a new car to all that unless her company suddenly decides on company cars... |
