Whoa, I saw a couple of the expensive gas stations at $2.99 today. I guess they decided they couldn't charge 70 cents more a gallon than the cheapies, who are today at $2.79, down from $2.85 yesterday.

my brain doesnt fart, it poots. lol yeppers it's 3.19!!! thats almost 2.00 less than it was less than 6mo ago. I think they were just seeing how high they could go and now that the housing market is shit they realize they have to lower......the frwy is more croweded, which suks though. although still not seeing as many gardening/construction type trucks in the morning as we used to

I'm not sure I understand the market/demand reason for gas prices. It seems like they know they can't charge as much for gas as they used to (as people would have to buy less) so they've lowered the price. I don't believe they lowered it so much they're not making a profit now, so are they really saying that they had $1.20 more profit (that's how much it's down from the highs here) on every gallon before? Then why was it impossible for them to lower the prices before?

Just broke to $2.97 today in Florida. California and New York were always higher and now their cheaper. Belive it or not the owners of the stations are making the extra money not the oil companies. The stations were making very little profit before.

California is not cheaper. Pamy and Sea have misplaced a dollar along the way. I don't think we've fallen below the $3 mark here and last I saw we were still hanging around $3.40's in northern California and $3.30's here.

Pamy and Kitt, I always noticed the price of gas goes way down just before a presidential election. I expect it to go way back up about a month or two after the election.

$3.19 across the board, but we now have premium at $3.29 & super at $3.44. Probably gonna put in some super to mix with the regular already in my tank so my car will get back to normal. Regular makes it jerk.

$2.29 tonight and I needed almost 3/4 a tank of gas. Was sweet to get that much gas and not go over $20.00. [I think it was like $17 or $18.]

$2.29 here today. We were on the Today Show for having the cheapest gas of anywhere in the country. Crazy, because before this huge increase, it was always more expensive here than it was in my parent's area.
