Gas Prices

[mike143]

We drive one vehicle that averages 35mpg and the other 50mpg, I could care less what the gas prices are. A fill up is cheap either way prices go.

Yeah, so far this year I have spent $869.08 on gas, total. But it's STILL fun to get a bargain. Puts a big smile on my face.

Still $2.59 here in ND and there is a refinery about 2 miles from my apartment.

Gas price here was $2.24 when I drove past going for breakfast thus morning. Less than an hour later, on our way home, it had dropped to $2.18 at that station. So I decided to go to the one I usually gas up at, and filled up for $2.16 per gallon.

There a town about 25-30 miles south of us, where it is $1.99, and has been for a week or so now.

People will literately sell a fuel sipper for a gas guzzler after a month of low gas prices.

You know my SIL "Spendarina" then.

We have some heavy snows, she buys a heavy 4WD vehicle. Gas prices go to $4/gallon? She sells the 4WD because of the bad fuel mileage and buys a smallish Kia. The Kia needs brake pads? Trade that in and buy a bigger one.

If we get any appreciable snow this winter I'll bet my next pension check she goes out and buys a heavy 4WD vehicle.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

$2.03 here today (central/east Texas) - looking for it to go below $2 this week. I never thought I'd see gas prices this low again.

I've spent $3588 on fuel so far this year. A Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for daily driving and a very heavy duty 4wd pickup with a snow plow on it are not easy on the mileage and it is a long way into town. I need the capability of both vehicles so I just chalk it up to the cost of living in the mountains where I want to live.

$2.07 Scottsdale Costco!

$1.85 today at my local station

Interesting. Today we paid $1.91 just out of Dallas, Tx. When we got to North Houston. it was $2.39! Not sure why. Seems like most of the refineries are in East Houston. That I know of gas is trucked or piped to Dallas. Yet all over Dallas, gas was between $1.87 and $2.15.

Compared to...(from my previous post)
$3.09 is best local price here in East Nowhere, in upstate NY as of Dec 1.

maybe near the freeway? By us in The Woodlands (away from I-45), I am seeing $2.05 for RUG and $3.02 for diesel.

At my local gas station which is also where my mechanic is, he has been lowering his price a lot lately. He is "down" to $2.93 although the last time I bought gas (from him) a few weeks ago I paid $3.31. I buy gas every 3-4 weeks so I have yet to enjoy buying gas for under $3 a gallon again. Even at $3.31 a gallon, it was nice getting change from $40 after filling up. Next time, hopefully, I can get change from $30.

Cheap gas!

I keep MY gas prices down by buying beer and pizza on sale.

Actually, if you bought No.10 cans of pinto beans at Walmart, you could make more gas than expensive (or cheap) beer and pizza would produce.

This thread is becoming a real stinker.

Getting back on topic, I noticed on gas buddy that some stations in Texas are now below $1.80

 

[Midpack]

I just filled up at $1.919/gal in a distant suburb outside Chicago. Never thought I'd see a price like this again. Great short term, probably not for the long term though...

Butt please note, we do NOT want pictures!

First time I have seen diesel below $3/gal. It was $2.94 at a local station today.

Now wouldn't that just "crack" up everyone....

I noticed this morning that the lowest gas prices in NJ are in the northern part of the state. Stations there have dipped below $2 per gallon. In Southern NJ the prices are hovering around $2.30.

What is amazing is the one station in the state that has price set close to $4 per gallon. We drive by that station often, and always note the price which is so much higher than others in the area. I guess the thinking is, "If I have to walk out there and pump gas, it is gonna be worth my while."

 

[davismills]

$2.04 per gallon in Middle Georgia just south of Macon. Since my motor home only gets 8 miles per gallon...

I'm happy dancing.

$1.79 at 7 eleven in Ok is about the cheapest I've seen. No ethanol is about $2.00.

Still around $2.65 at most stations down here in SW FL. You can get $2.44 at Costco. Found diesel for our Beetle for $3.09 yesterday thanks to GasBuddy. My per mile cost is still better in the Beetle, but the 20 mpg Highlander is getting closer.
