What's up every morning on my way to work the price drops. Like this morning REG...$3.10 on my way home $3.05 within the day the price drops 4-5 cents a gallon.
I milked it on E for as long as I could, filled up my truck with 23.86 gallons at $3.05 a gal.....$73.00
This due to the election or what else could it be?
Peace
Well I think it is partially because of the election. Seems like right before a presidential election the price drops and then goes back up after the election. Also though, with the stock market crashing so much lately, oil prices have dropped per barrel directly lowering the price of gas. Don't forget when it was ridiculously high some people just stopped driving around so much because it was so high, less demand directly correlates with cheaper prices.

One of the other products we sell in my place of employ is gas. The guys at the main office said that because the market is so unstable, that fuel has to be lower in order to keep the economy going.
We are at 3.49 for unleaded here in the Coastal Hills and I have heard that unleaded is going for 2.99 a gallon down in Calistoga/Napa Valley...
I heard from one of those other sites I read, that gas will continue to fall in price until after the retail season and then rise after the new year.
i heard on the news that they're figuring the national average could drop to around $2.80 within a weeks time.

This is just crazy this morning here in DC/MD $2.86 at the same gas station for regular. I just hope in December when I get down to Palm Beach Florida for the next 6 months these prices will hold.
Ahhh but I doubt it.

thing that gets me about oil prices is...we have the technology to be running every single automobile on electric power. All the oil companies buy up all the patents on all these new batteries and force us to buy their shit, kinda pushing these great ideas to the side. buy, send more money.
If everyone had an electric car, how would they make a profit? and you know they have lobbyists in Washington. I think Exxon has more economic pull in world affairs than Saudi Arabia, Greece, Indonesia...to name a few.
just an example of a how a monetary based system isn't so much looking out for what's best for society. when profit is the bottom line, this is what we get.

Well This a shocker, my sister just showed me a reciept (because I didn't believe her) from a gas station at Sam's Club in Annapolis Maryland for $2.09.
That's just 20 miles from where I live.

I actually filled up for $1.85/gal yesterday. That's only because the grocery store I shop at offers "fuel perks". The more $$$ you spend at their store, the more $$$ you get discounted per gallon. Their price was $2.95/gal, I had a savings of $1.10 per gallon = $1.85/gal. Now I start back at 0 and have to accumulate savings by shopping there. I'm sure there are similar places all over the country.

We have the same sort of thing here, you shop at a supermarket and use your receipt to get like 10 cents off per liter, but don't fall for it, they jack up the prices of their stock items to cover that discount.
They are taking a lot of people for a ride.

is that price chopper? the wife and i have the same thing going on with the place we do our groceries, and we shop at price chopper. i think we're up to $1.50 off each gallon right now, but we're saving it for thanksgiving weekend when we go to her fathers place. hoping to have close to $2.00 off by then.

Ours here in Pennsylvania is called "Get-Go" and it's part of the "Giant Eagle" chain of grocery stores.

I think price per barrel is controlled by the oil companies, since Saudi Arabia is basically a client state and the oil companies themselves have such a huge influence. its like they are keeping prices as high as they can to maximize profit yet low enough so as not to encourage alternative fuel development. this last summer was kind of them deciding to really get as much as they could out of us, but since there was so much talk about alternative fuel they decided to bring the price back down. Just an idea, since alternative fuel sources put companies like Exxon (with more economic pull in the world than Saudi Arabia itself) out of business. there's no way they are going to allow an alternative fuel source unless they can profit from it.

The price of oil is dropping because the stock market is crashing. There's less demand for it when everybody is going bankrupt.
Price of oil has dropped like $100 a barrel in the past few months.
price per barrel is arbitrary...whatever they decide it to be. they pull more out of the ground price goes down, they refine more, price of gas goes down. since they control how much they take out of the ground, and how much they refine, using free market principles, they control prices.
keep supply down, prices go up. surplus=loss of profit.
this recession might affect that some, but in general the price of oil and gas is whatever they decide it to be.
Out here in Western NY (Dansville NY, south of Rochester) gas is $3.19 a gallon.
The funny thing is that I am 19 and I remember when I was 13 and my mom would bitch about gas being "a whopping $1.15 a gallon". I wish those days would come back.
2.21 at the circle k and just filled up both my and my wifes car at the get-n-go(giant eagle) for 2.14!!!! 2.28 - 2.20(fuel perks) =.089 a gallon!YEAH I cheated but so what.

gas station sign on tv news. i had the sound off, wonder where it was at?
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
I'm disgusted that I was happy to see gas at $2.20 per gallon. They've really mindfucked us.
Actually, that's extremely cheap when compared to the cost of gas around the world and when you think about the taxes, etc. that are included.
