$1.89 in N Augusta, SC earlier in the week.
$1.97 in Norcorss, GA (near Atlanta) today.
One thing that happened with the price runup is that now $2 a gallon seems cheap to many people. People get used to the idea of a $50-60 fillup cost pretty quickly and when it drops to $30-40 it seems cheap.
Expect a runup in SUV sales when it gets back down into the $1.50-1.60 range.
Oh, no! The oil companies are our FRIENDS. They are champions of capitalism and would never dream of profiteering from natural disasters or peoples' fears.
Or so I'm told by the butterflies that perch on the ward room window sill and whisper to me by starlight ...
I was able to find $2.29 in California the other day. There is some weird inversion going on in the Bay Area. Usually San Francisco has the highest gas prices and it goes down as you go South. Right now I heard it's cheaper in SF than San Jose.
$1.75 in Augusta Georgia.
IIRC, you could get a case of Falstaff 12oz bottles for $3.12 at the Barksdale AFB Shell station about that time...
Watever happened to Falstaff beer, anyway?
Not the Esso bee but definately the green stamps. I still have some old books with the stamps in them.
Exactly. For people who claim oil companies can control the price of oil, get them to explain 1998-1999 prices.
I guess it is easier for you to believe that rather than look at our refineries coming back on line and our imports of gasoline decreasing.
Its all a shell game to sucker the rubes. Oh boy,now that gas is under 2 bucks, i can buy a super-mega hummer on steroids that gets 2 miles to the gallon going downhill, with a tailwind and the engine shut off!!!
Don't forget the oil companies are planning to have their way with you all winter via your heating bill...rubes.
Thanks....I'm so glad I drive a 4 cylinder....
2.21 in Victorville & San Diego today
My gut tells me we have a glut of gasoline.
I know we've cut our driving in half since the price went to close to three dollars a gallon and we haven't increased the driving since the prices fell.
The cheapest in Cali until this past week was in Huntington Beach less than two miles from the beach...if you can believe that! LOL Now you can buy gas most anywhere in Cali for 2.29 a gallon. And when did you ever see gas cheaper than diesel like it is now and has been???
Unfortunately the clowns in D.C. have not allowed drilling in ANWAR and/or done anything to increase refinery construction.
The price drop is a set up by the market manipulators. Just before Christmas, they will jack up the price and blame Bush. Sucker punch.
OMG! Somebody do something before the bottom drops out! lol
Yes, the ESSO Bee. Think about it.
Still can't recall it. Maybe there weren't any Esso's where I lived or my parents didn't go to them.
