Last week we hit $3, yesterday was $2.79 and today was $2.59.

Any place else dropping?

Not that fast. They are going to get as much as they can as long as they can around here.

It was $2.99 two weeks ago. $2.67 now.

$2.77 is the cheapest here so far.

I have seen $2.88 here and as high as $3.11 here today.

In chicago last week or so the prices were about $3.29 for regular

now it's almost near 'normal' at 2.99-3.10 for regular.

Chicago sucks bigtime.

$2.74 here, but I think they'll bend us over again.

SUV prices are dropping faster than the gas. Around here the dealers are advertising 10k-15k off SUV's

No shit. And now Mrs gorilla decides she would like to trade in the Exploder and go back to a Nissan.

Where in TX are you? They haven't dropped that drastically in my neighborhood here in SA... maybe about 8-10 cents at the most.

Here in Stafford VA they went from $2.53 before Katrina to $3.29 and as of yesterday evening $2.71

They arent "dropping like crazy", that are "becoming less fraudulent". The conferences on gas ~~gouging~~ prices is probably making them drop a little to make it seem like there really was ~~an influx in greed~~ a shortage. Any price per gallon over $2 is bullshit and everyone knows it.

$2.74 IS getting bent over. Remember what it was before Katrina?

Just as fast here. I saw them sub 2.55 on my way home from class last night.

2.89$ still.. it was that high before the storm!

Thats about where it will be if Forbes is right and this bubble bursts like most of the experts are saying now.

Gas prices dropping like crazy???

Dropping like crazy would be say dropping $0.10 per hour, every hour, for a couple of days. Just like the prices were rising just after the levees broke.

EDGING DOWN would be a more accurate description around here, $2.55/87 unleaded and that's still an arse rape as far as I'm concerned.

AND I'M GONNA BITCH-SLAP THE NEXT TREE HUGGER WHO SAY'S HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS IN EUROPE!

FOR THE LAST TIME, EUROPE HAS NO PETROLEUM!

The sky is falling the sky is falling.

I paid $2.56 two days ago in Martinsville, VA

Posted: 9/16/2005 4:35:05 AM EDT

[#24]

Cheapest around here is about $2.60 a gallon, but I've still seen prices at $2.80+ a gallon. Last week it was "we have to raise prices because we are paying for the next load." This week it's "well, we already paid for what's in the tanks so we have to sell it for that much".

$2.58 is the cheapest I've seen here SW of Atlanta. It's a welcome change, but it's also sad that seeing 2.58 actually made me smile.

I should have some of you guys start mailing me a few gallons each week

. Last week 2.98, yesterday 2.92. But then we are usually one of the highest priced areas in OR.

My area of town it got as high as $2.99/gal, now it's down to about $2.79/gal. Lowest price around here (within 10-15 miles) is $2.58. They seem to be coming down.

Thanks. I guess charging $3,000 for 2 hours of my time makes me a horrible business man.

Cheapest on Long Island, NY for Reg was $3.09

Diesel is $2.89

Are you in the Rogue Valley?

Edit: $2.49 here...I won't be happy until it gets back to the $1.55 it was the first day I moved here.

Ever since Katrina it had been $2.97 for regular here, and yesterday it dropped big time to $2.95

That is GOUGING! Those 2 hours didn't cost you $3,000!

Maybe you are a good engineer, but with statements like yours I doubt you'd be able to run a gas station.

Down to $2.51 now... Woohooooooo

2.74 yesterday in WI. Near Chicago it was around that.

2.54 here in nw ohio...supposedly it is a little cheaper yet in on the other side of town...

In my area, the price of gas has doubled in the last year or so. Lowering the price by 10% after a rapid 100% increase doesn't qualify as a good deal.

The new price is nothing to celebrate and the fact that a lot of people now think of $2.75 or even $2.50 per gallon as "a good deal" is proof that the conditioning cycle (double the price, threaten additional price increases prior to a 10% price reduction to satisfy the masses, repeat as desired) is working and ensures that it will be repeated.

Paid $2.59 on the way into work and once I got into town it was $2.39. Figures.

Its all such BS !!

They jump 50 cents in 2 days after Katrina, then it takes 3 weeks to start dropping the price.

What a crock !

Now that its coming down 20 cents that is supposed to keep us happy.

Price should be around 120 bunch of Fxxxxxx crooks but hey Bush doesnt do shit because he
is making a mint along with his buddy from haliburton..

Let start a thread on why do you think or possibly know of why the price per barrel is so damn high and why is it staying so damn hi !!

Now with the latest hurrincan what has taken 3 weeks to come down will be back up 50 cents in 3 days..
mark my words !

Glad I can work from home.

Not when 10% of the oil rigs in the Gulf are non-functional and ~9% of our national refining capacity is inoperable due to Katrina. We refine our own gasoline, everyone ships us crude. After Katrina hit, every refinery in the area had to do a 100% inspection to make sure they werent damaged, lengthening the time they were shut down considerably.

There should be enough refining capacity in this country to handle outages without prices rising.

High 3.09 Low 2.79 here...From a high of 3.85 in the days following Katrina.

With Rita barrelling in...my advice is top off the tanks before she makes landfall...projected anywhere from Corpus to LA will feel her wrath.

Here we go again...
