Was hoping the price would dip just a few more cents by today, but filled the car with $2.029 regular unleaded. That's still 32ยข less per gallon than last time.

Goin' down - got it for $2.16 today!! DH had a loaner car, a Suburu Forester. I LOVED it, we need all wheel drive or 4WD as well as extra clearance for our road, and I'm wondering if anyone owns one of these and can tell me how they do w/gas mileage. Almost anything will be better than my Jeep Grand Cherokee, but we're hoping to replace it in a couple years with something that gets 25-30 MPG.

Wow, I was surprised to see all the categories of gas and diesel were under $3!

It was rumored here that gas was going up after the election. Sure enough, up .06 today. Still only $2.05.

Yes, Juju is correct, Teach. Until last week we had two Subaru Foresters. Now we have one as I haven't been able to drive since last March. We LOVE them. Yesterday when we were going from voting to shopping to lunch to the DMV and finally to get my hair cut we saw prices of $2.06, $2.09, $2.19 and $2.07. These were all at BP stations and it's not that the price rose and they day progressed, there just didn't seem to be any pattern at all.

How's the gas mileage on a Forester, Tess?

It depends upon what type of driving you do. On the highway, we got approx. 25 mpg on our vacation this past summer. We didn't drive on the highway 100% of the time but we did more often than not. I didn't do any driving at all so that means we were going closer to the speed limit than when I used to drive on our long trips. I normally drove very short trips in town only and my mileage was about 20 - 22 mpg. I'd say that it's good for the car you get. The Forester also has a fantastic safety rating for its category, or it did when we bought our two. It was great in the snow and much easier for me to control on icy roads than what I had before. My car was a 2002 model and DH's is a 2003 so a newer model might get better mileage than ours did. I honestly don't remember what the mileage was when they were new. When we sold mine last week it had 45,000 miles on it. DH has more on his.

Wow Beach, that's great. $2.39 out on the highway, #2.49 at my rural station. It always takes to locals a little longer to drop their prices.

Thanks, Tess. I do a lot of short driving (less than 2 miles to work), but all our shopping, lessons for DS, etc. are highway. We usually drive 60-65, so if we can get 25-30 that would be great! Who knows, maybe they'll be hitting 30-35 by the time I can afford to get one.

Couch, I think it is major gas wars going on around here that has the prices so abnormally low in spots. It was 1.91 near our house and I was heading to my parents and saw that price in Lake Wylie and did a triple take to make sure I saw it correctly! It was a good thing nobody was tailgating me or it would have been crunchville LOL!
