How low has your gas prices become?
I saw $1.69 on the way to work today. Never thought I would see that again. And if you have a Walmart gas card it is near the 1.50's. How long will this last? Our gov is talking about an emergency gas tax to raise revenue for the states budget.

Funny you would mention that. There is some place out in the midwest that formed a gas station coop. Basically the bought the gas ahead of time and paid for large amounts per person and then used it up and bought more as they wanted or needed it. All when the price was low. They were paying .50 less than most people were when prices where high. I wonder why more people couldn't do that.

i wonder if they're stuck with a bunch of gas that's over priced right now, though?

Until now, I don't think they have had that problem. And I guess they could just buy gas elsewhere while it was lower then what they had bought it at and back to the stockpile when it goes back up.

How long does gasoline keep? Like 6 months? I know my lawnmower complains if the gas is more than one season old.

Oh my god!!! They gave me money back the other day at the pump!!! It was so awesome!! $2.05...
My eyes popped out of my head when the tank started to over-fill. I kept clicking the handle, but no more gas was required. I was at $30.00!!! That was a holy shit moment. I thought the pump was broken, but realized very soon that it was for real! Wooo-hooo!

It's just below $1/litre here which still makes it about $4/gallon, but it's cheap that's for sure. Hasn't been below a dollar for years here.
