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?

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.

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...

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.
