Strange, though. None of the news media ever cite our local price as lowest in the US. Last week, they were saying it was St Louis at $1.89. WTF?

Its Bush's fault. Its all part of the great conspiracy. Shhh just don't tell anyone.

Ah, okay.

Spent a few days in Denver over this weekend; cheapest gas I saw there was US $1.459 the gallon, and a typical price was around $1.60.

Doubt it'll last, but it's fun.

I payed 1.47 yesterday. Filled up my tank for 22.75. This will be nice while it lasts, then it will really suck.

An industry dude suggested a few days ago that there is little to prevent oil from going to $20/barrel and thus gas under $1.

It's interesting because industry dudes two years ago were saying there is little to prevent oil from going to $125/barrel and thus gas over $4. They were right then...

$1.47 at the Wawa in Pennsauken this AM. I paid $1.59 on the ride home last night. 16 gallons for $26 ish. not bad at all.

TheMercenary 12-09-2008 01:13 PM

wolf 12-09-2008 01:26 PM

1.42 last night

Pie 12-09-2008 04:03 PM

$1.53 at Costco, $1.74 everywhere else.

Urbane Guerrilla 01-07-2009 10:57 PM

And it didn't last. Lots of regular unleaded at around a buck eighty-five around town. Premium rather over two bucks.

So, OPEC slowed production so prices will go back up? I don't understand economics, but it feels a bit like bending over, again.

Let the little guy get a little bit ahead just once, will you, ya greedy fucking fuckers.

TheMercenary 01-08-2009 08:37 PM

We are at $1.55. Still cheap enough to run my truck at 80 mph.

monster 01-08-2009 08:44 PM

1.99. Bar Stewards.

US automakers need to take a clue from VW. This is long overdue in US autos.

Not long overdue, it wasn't possible until now. Diesels couldn't meet emission standards without cleaner diesel fuel, which wasn't available until 2007.
In that car, with the regen, shut off, etc, technology, I wonder how a similar gas engine would compare?

TheMercenary 01-11-2009 07:07 PM

I thought we had clean diesel for a few years now.

xoxoxoBruce 01-11-2009 07:32 PM

It was mandated to be available for 2006, but not mandated for vehicles until 2007. I guess that's why the refiners took their good old time about making it widely available until 2007.

Not that it was unpredictable. When Chinese demand dropped, almost immediately there was a glut.

All a body can do is reduce their own demand for gasoline.
