Wow! Where's that!? Down to $3.71 here. That's down 98c from the high a few months ago.

I ran into a total back-up of traffic on the road today. 3 police cars were at the intersection directing traffic. It was chaos and I thought there had been a bad accident. However, it was only a Shell station selling gas for $2.99! I had just bought some at another station at the lowest price I've seen in months--$3.49. The wait for the $2.99 gas must have been close to an hour with the amount of cars lined up! Unbelievable!

Kitt I'm in central Iowa.

Some of us say nucular, gosh darnit, dag nabbit, and alot of us say eye-rack and eye-ran and drop the "g" off of our words while talkin'. But we got us some cheap gas these days!

No wait here. But it's been dropping 2 - 5 cents daily since we got back from Kansas City. It was down to $3.22 just before Ike, then it shot up to 30 or 40 cents. I'm wondering how much gas was used waiting for an hour, turning the engines on and off or letting it run...... But I'm glad we're starting to see it under $3 a gallon!

I don't think I'm being pessimistic saying I'm waiting for it to shoot back up. Just realistic.

Ran to WalMart to pick up some last minute stuff for hubby's trip, and it dropped down to $2.96!! That's 7 cents in less than 24 hours.

$3.33 at the cheap place here today. We are usually right up there with California. At the rate we are going, we are going to see under $3 again here, which I said we never would again two years ago.

And hey, Serate, now you can 'splain that your pronunciation of nucular is a metathesis, in that you are transposing two phonomes because the k-lee phonome is way less common than the k-yler phonome. And then Eeyores will be along to 'splain how all this is learned in the first three years of life and imprinted on our alleged brains.

<spins head backwards>



You know, it was just easier in the good old days when we had Egbok to 'splain things to us.

Woo-hoo!! My local station is finally back in business. Still 3 out of 7 empty, but at least gas seems to be starting to trickle in. $3.89 all around town but NO lines.

We're still up in the $3.89 range here. I don't think New Yorkers are allowed to have normal prices. We have to pay for the highest welfare costs in the country (or second highest, I don't know where we stand right now). We are just taxed to death here!

Huk, it sounds like New York is always competing with Massachusetts. We are not that high with gas, but they tax us to death as well. and let us not forget about the Red Sox/Yankees.

Yippee Couch! We have gas on our side of town too, even the premium stuff that has been so hard to find. It costs an arm and a leg, but I am so glad that I don't have to go on a scavenger hunt to find the darn stuff!

Serate, Cinc Reds were at one time called Cinc Red Legs - the Red Sox are in Boston.

Beach - That's great! My car was starting to feel the effects of regular, so I floored it a couple of times to blow out the gunk. Hoping to see premium soon.

Thanks CT! At least I knew they weren't in New York!!!!!!!

OK now I get it. The Red Sox beat the damn Yankees and are going to the super bowl?

Kiddin, I know the Super Bowl is Football. Baseball is Stanley Cup right? hahahahahahahahahaha

We're still at $3.05/gallon here but I don't feel so badly for us. I have a friend in Northumberland, England and they pay well over the equivalent of $7.00/gallon for their gas.
