Drive by the local 7-11 to see unleaded at $1.81! It's almost incredible. Now it doesn't cost over $100 to fill up my work van.

Yeah the gas around here has gone down in last week from 2.89 - 1.98

dbhost

$1.69 in Houston at Barker and Clay road at Chevron.

OPEC has trimmed back production twice in the last three weeks trying to shore up oil prices, but no such luck. They did so much damage to our economy that folks have trimmed WAY back on discretionary spending. That includes any driving that isn't completely necessary, and even trimming back on heating / cooling in our homes...

And if you think it's bad in North America, just imagine how bad it is in places like China and India where oil products take that much larger of a bite of people's income...

Way to go OPEC...

Yeah i'm pretty lucky here in Oklahoma it's always one of the cheapest areas in the country.

Bought gas exactly one month ago for $2.98 and was giddy, it was under 3 bucks!
30 days later $2.11.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the nether regions of those responsible for the outrageous prices lately. And I hope they have short arms too.,

I know that we are all happy that we are seeing low gasoline/diesel, natural gas, etc prices.

HOWEVER, let us not forget the high price era that we just passed through. (It even may be back before we like.) We must continue to insist that the politicians develop an integrated national ENERGY POLICY. We cannot let Pilosi now just sit back and tell us that now do not need do do any oil drilling.

We need to act now to get new Nuclear Energy sources, shale oil development turned into production, new geological surveys turned into produceable(sp?) oil wells, etc.

We had a wake up call in the early 1970's and then went back to sleep again.

WRITE/CALL OR WHATEVER TO YOUR POLITICIANS AND TELL THEM THAT YOU WANT ACTION NOW.

raskgle

the only way out is stop driving, bbut they know that we can't. but when $ dryes up they must lower price. we get money from the gov. andd it goes in the tank, so you can't get anything the oil providers get it all.

For all those that haven't seen any of the gas price websites, here is just one. Put in your zip code, and you'll get a list of gas stations and their prices for your location.

This post (and other tool prices) is not good to be seen by an European guy...

Not long ago, we were paying 8 USD per Gallon....

I just re-filled the tank today and I paid 6 USD per Gallon.......not because the price decreased...in Zloty, the price remained the same...just the USD got "stronger" and instead of 1 USD = 2 Zloty (a month ago) the rate changed to 1 USD = 2.80 Zloty

Be happy there and I hope that the Dollar will get stronger because all my savings are in USD...

I for one am glad prices or down. I hear people giving credit to this party and that party for the lower gas prices. Well it was not a surprise to me the prices when down. If anyone thinks back 4 years ago right before the elections, gas prices took a nose dive. Not sure who to give the credit to, but I am glad they are down. I burn a tank and a half a week my self. That's about 26 gallons a week. It didn't much matter how high the price went a while back when folks was spending money fixing their houses and their yards. I was so busy building fences, decks, and repairing houses I could afford the price of gas. Now things have slowed down a bit here I don't have money to burn. Now lets see how long the price stays down.

$2.25 outside of Tampa

I heard the prices will keep on falling but there will be a stop to that not long after the New Year.

GeorgeC

I do not think we will see prices go much lower. They are now down below $2.00 here. Also "after new year" will also have no effect. That effect will be seen in the long range price of energy.

Political parties have very little effect of the short term price of fuel. The only thing that any political party had on the recent run up and run down was that OPEC and other offshore suppliers felt they were in charge because of Pelosi and her crowd refusing drilling for new supplies.

Keep the pressure on your politicos so that they will try to come up with a viable energy policy.

stuart

agree

fossile fuel is more useful on more commerical projects than a bunch of workers riding in the steel horses

high speed rail seems to be big thing in europe and japan, quite effective in timing and variety

why not around here in florida and such

really hard headed to not go the rail route

GeorgeC

I do not know how long you have lived in Florida, but a number of years it was voted and approved to have a high speed train between, if I remember correctly, Miami, Orlando and Tamps. When people got serious and started looking at the project it was determined it was not practical.

The population concentrations here and in Japan and Europe are just not the same. People also use their transportation differently. You have to have high concentrations of people wanting to go between two or more specific places on a regular basis for that system to work. On top of that you have to have a very good network of local transportation to move the travelers once they get off the trains.
