Hello everyone! With the gasoline prices hovering around $2/gal, I've found a great way for everyone to save money. At www.priceline.com, you can now bid on gasoline! You can actually save as much as 30 cents/gal. I bid $1.49/gal for 92 octane, which goes for $1.79/gal at most gas stations, and it was accepted! The gas station wasn't necessarily in my area, about 10 miles away, but I would save $6 per fill up! If I had bid $1.59/gal, I would get a closer location. Either way, you don't have to pay what you're paying now!!!!! BTW, it's not available in some states. |

| Not sure where you live bro but we had the highest prices in the country a month or two ago and they are now lower than they were in January. No $2/gallon anywhere in the US that I know of. What's the real deal? | |

carguy, It was $2.19 for 92 octane in Vegas the last time I was there. |

I forgot to mention that my bid of $1.36/gal for 92 octane was accepted by Priceline. I saved almost 50 cents/gal yesterday, as the price shot up to $1.85/gal. I'm not sure what you're insinuating with the "what's the deal" question, but all I'm doing is trying to save people money. 50 cents may not seem much, but I would save more than $40/month on gas because of Priceline. I don't work for Priceline nor get any referral commission, if that's what you're thinking. I'm not too fond of Priceline's hotel reservations though, ever since they messed up my last request. |

| And they offered to save me a whopping 2 cents. They claimed the average price is $1.57 for the stations I picked but the posted price at the stations was 1.49-1.52. Might be a good deal in some places but not everywhere. | |

beatfarmer, Which city do you live in? I will research your city and see how low the prices can get. Here's several tips that will help you save: 1) Bid as low as possible. If $1.20 fails, try $1.21, then $1.22..... That way you'll know what the lowest possible accepted price is. If your offer is rejected, it will say to try again in 24 hours, but ignore this, you can bid again by returning to the Priceline home page, then starting over. 2) Pick the 3 gas stations (in your area) which you do not frequent. That way, when your get a "maybe" as an answer, they will offer an alternate gas station that will accept your price, which may be the gas station you frequent. This is how I got a gas station that was less than a mile from my home. The alternate gas stations seems to change often, so even if you get the lowest prices, keep trying to get the station you prefer. 3) Pick 3 gas stations with the lowest prices.... for example, Mobil is cheaper in my area than 76, so I chose 3 Mobil stations. The lower the average price of the three stations, higher your chance is. 4) Keep trying! It took me about an hour to get the right price and preferred gas station. Once you get the hang of it, you'll know all the tricks to get the lowest price. Sheesh, the last time I paid $1.36 for 92 octane was several years ago! |

gold, Congrats. All the items, except the rear mud guards, are optional equipment. ------------ ljk, $750 over invoice seems kinda high for this close to a model year close out. What's the other dealer's offer? Have u checked out www.carorder.com or www.carsdirect.com? Currently, you can get $100 rebate from www.gomez.com, if you purchase with Carorder or Carsdirect. |
