    Filled up today $1.57 at Sam's club and it stopped at $30.00 exactly. That's for 19+ gallons, I'll wet myself if it EVER gets to $1 a gallon for reg. I'm serious. :)

    Something tells me the govt will step in to keep prices up or states will increase the gas tax. I live in MA and they are already talking about raising the gas tax which is now 24 cents to 35 cents to offset toll prices. But I'm with you, maybe Obama will keep prices low like Clinton did. I remember when I got my license in 98, I paid 86 cents a gallon. Keep your fingers crossed.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    $1.69 in Los Angeles. For California, that is incredible. I don't remember prices that cheap since before the turn of the millennium. But I think we can expect prices to go back up big in a few months. :(

    UK last night £1.08 a litre for diesel, that's £4.08 per gallon.

    That's $6.03 per gallon to you lot.

    True, but you also have much better public transportation.

    I'm sure they'll go up again, but maybe not so soon.. The may get as low as $1 a gallon from what I've heard.

    Lets all keep in mind the price at the pump is deceiving. While you think you are paying under two dollars a gallon, it's actually about four times that amount when you factor in how much of your tax money is going overseas and will never come back. While the dollar gets lower and lower it's understandable why out government would deceive us on a couple of points. One point would be making the general public believe that American economics theories of supply and demand actually determine what you pay at the pump and another would be that a foreign occupation for peace in the middle east is succeeding.

    So what we have now is the world showing us the bomb from all angles. How it got here, how we are responsible for it and how we are addicted to its presence. The prices go up along with the citizens attention span. They tell you what the timer is set on and fill you with information needed to defuse the bomb. They set the bomb and drop the prices.

    The attention span drops with the lowering prices for a gallon of gasoline.

    Kaboom!

    unsurprising really.
    quite honestly, i cannot tell you what i last paid for gas...mostly b/c i don't pay much attention as i fill up so infrequently, maybe once a month? :? as both my husband and i use public transport for work....just really haven't been watching. however, as of the 20th he WILL be commuting by car again, and a good distance, plus fucking tolls :evil: :evil: :evil: ...so yea.....just in time for raising prices.... :roll: typical.

    honestly, prices DO typically rise during the summer months, no matter what else is going on the world. and hell, ever other fucking cost has risen so much in the past year....it's insane.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow
