It's dropped below $2.00 in town as well now.

$1.99 to be exact.

In Saint Louis the average is around $2.10, but out of town it's down in the $1.80's.

Down to $2.31 for cheap grade at Amherst & Northampton Hess stations.

Just when I think gas is cheap - you always come along :P :P :P

$2.12 at the South Hadley Cumby's today.

I've seen it at as high as $2.45 for premium at Exxon this week.

GAS WAR! GAS WAR! Crestwood, St. Louis. (Home of KSHE 95 by the way.) All the stations along the street competed today dropping prices almost hourly. We're down in the 1.80's here too.

$2.02 at the South Hadley Cumby's yesterday.  Haven't been by there today yet....

It's down around $1.83-1.85 in town. Just out in O'Fallon; MO.. not more than 20 minutes from downtown. It's down at $1.75.

2.11 at Exxon today,even cheaper than Sprawlmart!!! which was 2.13.

$2.51 average.

Not an asshole, just very petroleum advantaged :) :)  Heck, gas maybe cheap enough some may be able to huff it again ;D

Down to $2 1/2 a gallon here!! :D :D

I paid $2.29.9 yesterday and then saw it at another place for $2.25.9

I saw it at 79.1/L today.  Lowest it's been in probably 10 years

Gas is cheaper in Independence (where I work) than in north Kansas City (which is where I live), so I thought I'd fill up there after I got off work tonight. The places just down the street from where I work still had it for $1.77, but I drove down to this QuikTrip another couple miles down the road and I couldn't believe my eyes.

They had it for $1.65, and it ended up costing me $26 to fill up my tank. 

I really hope gas keeps going down even further because the economy could really use the help right now.

Finally down to $1.99 here in Bristol County, MA. My tank cost $23.

Damn, you're still beating us out there. Lowest here is about $1.71 right now.

But as per usual, if you happen to need to go 25-30 miles out of town it's down in the $1.60's.

$1.79 at the Kroger here in Jeffersonville, Indiana

Yup, I'm hating saving all this money.

Yup, I'm hating saving all this money.


Spend it on me :-*

The price of regular unleaded at the Arco/AM-PM station near where I live is $2.15.9, and I recently filled the tanks on my car and my truck. The state in which I live has no sales tax (and probably never will, if the general populace continues to vote in the manner that it always has), which makes everything cheaper. The only bad thing about this particular gas station is that it is located next to Interstate 5 and is also in close proximity to the end of a local freeway known variously as "Beltline Highway", "Beltline Road" or "569" (after its state designation as Highway 569), which causes very long lines that often reach all the way back to the bank parking lot behind the station. .

$1.92 ;D ;D ;D


NOW Al-B tell me how gas is $1.62 - at the station near you!!! ;) ;) ;)

You do it every time ;D ;D ;D

$1.94 now.

About as low as $2.40 over here now. Seeing a 2 in front of the decimal point is certainly pleasing to my eyes; it's a relief from the $3-and-up days!

I paid $2.39 pr gallon on the way home from work. I had to fill up my tank because it was empty, the low fuel warning indicator light even came on  :o  I was pleased when that full tank of gas cost just $32.

I'll bet that just breaks your heart.  :D


Caught up with you, $1.65 in St. Louis, I'm sure you're set to tell me it's $1.59 in KC now though!  ;D

$1.58 down the street, but the lowball prices have been from Independence, at the QuikTrip where I've been filling up (and where it's typically been about 15 cents less per gallon than it is up north).

I think it does. ;D As soon as California's prices drop under $2/gal. That is, if they do. Lol

Just saw $2.25 this morning at a Union Oil station.

$1.49 here in St. Louis.

$2.05 is the cheapest I've seen this week

I think it does. ;D As soon as California's prices drop under $2/gal. That is, if they do. Lol


If California ever gets under two bucks a gallon, that would probably put the Midwest in the $1.20 range. If that ever happens I'll trade in my Crown Vic for a new Chevy Silverado 4X4 extended cab.  ;D

Yeah, probably 2 dozen times. I go there whenever I can. They also have a huge area with lots of things being sold, I've bought dozens of old car ads from the 60's and 70's.

It's an amazing place. Next time you're up here we'll go.

Oh HELL yeah!  :) :) :)

The NYMEX Gasoline future ended today at 99.99 cents! If you live in Missouri add 35 cents to that and you have your price in a week or so.  :)

Cheapest I saw today: $1.88 in South Hadley, $1.99 in Amherst. 

Nice to see that big "1" to the left of the decimal!

Just like usual, the low gas prices are only temporary guys...

Some southern California retailers are selling for as low as $1.99, some larger ones $1.79.

Let me let you in on some info, I work as a scheduler and dispatch for the gas tanker trucks for one of the largest oil companies on the earth ( :-X).
We've seen dealers push off (refuse loads) with large inventories as the demand is low in past weeks, especially if the price for oil was going lower.

But just over the last four days, these same dealers are running out, demanding extra loads of gas they normally don't want or need. Why? 'Cause consumers are running to the $1.99 retailers and buying gas like its going out of style. Dealers normally selling 5000-6000 as day are selling 10000-12000 per day. Note that these retailers aren't really making more than a penny or two on this gas anyway...

As it takes a few days for the increase in orders and volume to impact the market and the demand for refineries become apparent, the price will spike back up and quickly, keeping in mind the additional brief but significant increase in driving before the holiday/holiday travel season.

Taking in mind that we're going back to 12hr days to help keep these guys supplied with gas again, the demand can't double and prices stay low at the same time, simple supply and demand economics. So enjoy the low gas prices for another week or so, at best, its going up again, and quickly.  :P

Well, I gotta get gas this weekend so let's hope it doesn't jump before then :P

I tell people that I wish I had a 1000 gallon tank in my backyard so I could stock up on gas while it's cheap.

On the news they just reported that it's down to $1.41.

$2.13 here. that's as cheap as I've seen it. it's low so people will feel like they have more money to spend for Christmas shopping. after New Years, I predict it will rise again

Yet the NYMEX Future price continues to drop.

I understand what you're saying and you're partially right, but as it gets cheaper for the suppliers to purchase price goes down, as demand goes up, price goes up. Spike? Doubt it. Plateau? One would assume.

Independence; MO has the cheapest in the country at $1.37.

St. Louis; MO is the second cheapest at just over $1.40.

I echo Al's sentiment - Missouri FTW.

So what if St. Louis city schools lost their accreditation and those cork smokers that built on flood plains in Chesterfield valley are still underwater, I'm neither a school teacher nor is my house flooded, my power bills keep dropping, I'm filling up my large sedan for less than $20 and food prices have been dropping as well. Happy as a Larry.

Independence; MO has the cheapest in the country at $1.37.

Wow. I can't remember the last time I saw prices that low anywhere.


The cheapest out here (at least that I've seen today) was $2.09.

Independence; MO has the cheapest in the country at $1.37.


WOO-HOO!!! 




I'M NUMBER ONE!!!
I'M NUMBER ONE!!! ;D ;D ;D

$1.99.9 is the cheapest I've spotted.



WOO-HOO!!! 




I'M NUMBER ONE!!!
I'M NUMBER ONE!!! ;D ;D ;D


No, you're just the cheapest  ;)

St. Louis is $1.41 now. Just behind Independence; MO.

$2.07 today. Maybe we just might drop back under two bucks...

$1.69 here.

$1.79 - we are not the cheapest, but it still feels good to keep dropping ;)

It'll probably drop to a buck since there's no need to go anywhere since everyone's almost next to poor!

$1.37.

Yesterday I saw a Valero station with $1.99 gas!!! I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a "1" before the decimal point for a gas price.

The Shell station still has $2.05, though.

Hey Al -

Cheapest in St. Louis - $1.33.

Cheapest in Independence - $1.34.

Yeah that's right, I'll save 17 cents! Do somethin'!  ;D

I'll be filling up on my way to work. the price is $1.99 for regular

cheapest in town is $1.89, most expensive is $1.99

$1.29 on Lindbergh.

Cheapest in K.C is still $1.33. Come on Al, start complaining to station owners.

That's 68 cents I'm saving over your price!!

$1.78

I think I saw $1.81 today

Over Thanksgiving I saw prices above the $2 dollar mark in New York City and along the Interstates in NY and CT.  It wasn't until I got back to W. Mass. that I saw prices under $2.19/gal.  The Amherst Hess has $1.73. 

$1.69 now

I finally saw gas below $2  it was $1.95 today.

Feels good, doesn't it?  :)

Feels good, doesn't it?  :)


it really does. The last time we had gas close to this was just before the Arizona pipeline ruptured in 2003. That week gas in Cali was 1.87.  Then AZ (where I spent a week) had a pipeline rupture and virtually no gas in the state. The gas stations jacked up the prices.  and then they brought fuel in from CA. All the way home I was seeing gas for more than $3 $3.75 in the middle of the desert. 

Once things settled our gas never went below 2.29 until now!

$1.59 in South Jersey

$1.46 in Jeffersonville, Indiana (Krogers)

Down to $1.85 here!!!

I read in the newspaper this morning that the gas prices have not been this low in CA in over 3 years!

Does anyone else have gas stations offering lower prices if you pay cash?  There's one place in town with petrol at $1.96 but you can take 7 cents of that if you pay cash.

We got caught somewhere else with this.  They displayed the cash price and we paid with our credit card  >:(

All those prices under $2.....

Ours just hit under $3 last week. 

$2.99 to be exact  >:(

we have stations that charge you 45 cents to use an ATM card.  it doesn't seem like much but it does increase the cost. If you're filling up its not that big a deal but sometimes I can only afford a gallon or two.... this would increase the cost for gas 22 cents a gallon if I only bought two.

I paid $1.62 in Hart on Sunday.  Got back to Big Rapids and it was 1.74.  Now it is down to $1.69 in BR.  Works for me!

I've just noticed that the gas prices are going down a lot around here too.  They are under two dollars :).  I'm happy!

Why is this, though?

Is this actually because of Bush's economic policies? :O

I think it is a supply issue.  People quit driving, and still really haven't picked it back up.  Not that I am complaining.  I like cheaper gas.  Plus, oil dropped back down to $40 - $50 a barrel instead of over $100.  That helped quite a bit.

I paid a $1.61 for it in Louisville, KY this morning.

Yesterday the lowest price in my area was listed at $1.67.

$1.65

On our trip, prices ranged from $1.45 (Joplin, MO) to $1.95 (the middle of the Mojave Desert).

Glad you made it safely, Jess. :)

they're going up again. it was 1.65 on Tues 1.75 Wed and 1.79 on Friday

$1.55 Southeastern MA.

They've been hovering between $1.65 and $1.85 in W. Mass. 

The cheaper gas prices are cold comfort nowadays.

And it's pretty damn cold.  We're in our second major snow storm in 72 hours.  Some folks in New England are still without power after the 12/12 ice storm.  The lower Pioneer Valley was mercifully spared, but the hills got hit something fierce as did Worcester County and up into New Hampshire.

Before the end of '08, they started to go back up again, but a couple days ago, the ones nearest my house actually came down about three cents.

The prices have pretty much stabilized around here at 1.65. Am I the only kinda spooked about this, as if the price is about to skyrocket to say 8 bucks a gallon?
actually, there was an article in the local paper this morning saying that $4+ a gallon gas next summer is inevitable. the cheap prices now are setting us up for it, because when prices are low, oil companies don't have incentives to explore or go after difficult fields.

I kept telling people not to get used to cheap gas prices, but the response was, "Oh shut up, Marvin!"*

The lowest I saw around here was $1.49/gal. @ the South Hadley Cumby's around xmas.  Now prices are creeping up again; they're between $1.65 and $1.89 now

*Hitchhiker's Guide" ref.

"the first ten million years were the hardest. the second ten million were the hardest, too. after that, i went into a bit of a decline."

It's going to be $2.00 soon.

Well...I'm halfway through with my Driving Test. All I need to do is pass the Road Test and I'll be driving!

It's gone up $.20 here.  I managed to catch the last station at the lower price, though.  I don't mind it around $2.00 it's when it hits $4.00 that I have a problem.

Sad to hear that the prices will be going up again.  I hoped to see the prices drop to around a $1.++ at least for a short while,  but it is currently at $2.69. 

$1.76 here near Louisville, KY

Back up to an even $2 here in southern California. :-\\


Sad to hear that the prices will be going up again.  I hoped to see the prices drop to around a $1.++ at least for a short while...

I hoped that they'd stay in the $1.__ range as well...but it looks like that isn't gonna happen here either.

Over the last few weeks (months?) the price has gone down around 20p over here in the UK.

$1.81 today

Around $1.70 here.

I don't know why they are going up still.  Most of them around here a heading toward $2 for the cheapest grade.

There's very little reason. The price of oil has dropped several dollars since the beginning of January, it's back down in the $30's for a barrel. What tends to happen is the price drops by a penny or two with a $2 drop and goes up 5-6 cents with a $1 rise. It's a rip off to be frank, but that's what happens when you allow cartels.

I thought the price of oil was still falling - I know Dai commented on the rising petrol prices a week or so ago as being weird.  Also the major airlines are still charging massive 'fuel surcharges' when the cost of oil is a fraction of what it was last summer when they introduced them.  ::)

Rising by a few cents every week.
:(

Well, it does tend to go up and up during the early part of the year, as I've noticed for the past ten years or so. Right now the "cheap stuff" out here is sitting on $2.15 or thereabouts. Hey, I'm just grateful it isn't at the level it was at a year ago!

$1.58

paid $2.29 (really 2.30 today)  >:(

Unleaded 89.1p in the UK

They're creeping back up here.  the most I've seen is $2.18.  I paid $1.95 at the weekend

Back down around $1.60.

Hey, I'm just grateful it isn't at the level it was at a year ago!


I'm sure our 'buddies' at OPEC will want to do something about that!  ::)

I'm sure our 'buddies' at OPEC will want to do something about that!  ::)

Maybe so. But it's at a fairly reasonable level right now. Low grade is selling for approximately $2.15 a gallon right now in southern CA.

..And not much has changed in the past week. I did see it as low as $2.07 last Friday, but that was at a station about 3 miles from my home. We often go to that one, since it seems to be the cheapest.

You just deleted and reposted.  I remember reading that response the other day.


Cheapest is $1.94, most expensive is $2.20 for 87 grade

Ah yes...but I amended the post, with a few words at the end.

See, at first I meant to click modify, but I hit remove by mistake.

Also, I just remembered that I saw a station with $1.94 for low grade yesterday in Los Angeles.

I thought you were catching something from Howard.

It's $2.11 at my corner gas station as of today...the lowest I've seen lately is $1.96 for regular unleaded.

Creeping back up again...right now the low stuff is about $2.16/gal.

$2.21 here over the weekend. Going out tonight so I will check it again!

$2.07/gal unleaded here.  Was down to under $2, actually got down in $1.80s (maybe lower, who can remember) for a while, but that didn't last long.  Still better than $4!

Millions of motorists are facing higher costs at petrol pumps as the Government's increase in fuel duty takes effect.

Drivers across the country will pay an extra 2.12p per litre from today.

about 98 cents a litre over here.

about 98 cents a litre over here.


I paid 79.9 yesterday

cheapest $2.03, most expensive $2.26 for standard

I paid $2.09 yesterday for regular in Tampa. I had just stopped carpooling a couple of months ago too!  >:(

Theyre on the climb again................Cheapest.....$2.10 a gal.

Right now they average at about $2.34 where I'm at. They even rose by a nickel on Friday. :o I'm serious, in the morning the station near my house said $2.29 for the low grade and when I came back home later in the day it said $2.34.

Well, gas is not all that bad here.

Only $0.73 a gallon.

LOL. are you serious?! :o

It was $2.15 for unleaded at a nearby Chevron today.

It's shot up over the past few days.  The cheapest I could get it today was $2.24.  And the expensive place near my house went up to $2.49

I just noticed a big jump in the prices today too. I actually hadn't been by the station nearest my house since last weekend, and I'm sure that at that time they were lower compared to what I saw this evening! That station had $2.44 for the low grade.

Aw hell, it's up to $2.15 here now.

The station nearest my house has the highest prices in town.  It was at $2.49 this morning.  This afternoon it had gone up to $2.55

Lowest,around Me...is $2.39.
With Memorial Day next weekend,I expected a jump.

You are right on that.  Even the cheap places were at around $2.46 this afternoon.  I don't recall what the exact price was at the expensive place, but it was around $2.65.  I know their most expensive grade was $2.99.9

$2.59-$2.89 here.... that's just at the various local gas stations for unleaded...yes my favorite crazy gas station is still 30 cents higher than the lowest station in town...  ::)

$2.99 here.  But then it never went down lower than $2.84 anyway.

where are you again?

cost me $33 bucks to fill up. I got regular and it was around 2.60 per gal, + I got a $5 car wash too. when the gas had gone way up last year, I washed our cars at home by hand, but since it came down, I have paid for car washes, but now that it's going back up I'm gonna have to do them myself again and we have 3 friggin cars.

HERE WE GO AGAIN  >:(

According to Gasbuddy.com, the US National average is back to $2.50 for regular, a 45-cent increase in just a month! It that rate keeps up, it will be $3 a gallon by the Fourth of July!  The last thing you want in an economic recovery is a return to high gas prices! The next few weeks will be critical in terms of how gas prices can cope with us; almost NO analysts predicted $3.00 a gallon this year, but we may very well may see it before summer ends; the worst case scenerio would be now drop in gas prices this fall followed by another run-up next spring/early summer!

Whilst you make a valid point. Places to store oil are frantically being filled and soon enough there will literally be, nowhere to keep it. Expect a big sell off the moment this is made public knowledge.

I paid $2.34 a gallon this morning and was kind of proud of myself because when I started driving, I noticed all the other stations around this one and down the road were $2.53 and $2.54!  I guess I caught mine early enough they hadn't gone out to change the prices!  It pays to fill up at 6:15 am!

I filled up for $2.42/gal. today (Amherst Hess).  It's gone up a dime in the past week.

When you guys report gas prices, are you rounding up because of the extra 9/10 cent they tack on?  That extra 9/10 cent makes a wee bit of difference especially if you drive a tank :P

^ I don't know about that, but I DO know one trick is to pay cash if you can, at least here in Florida.  You can get a break of 2 or 3 cents off the gallon if you pay cash instead of using a card.  If I'm not a big rush I'll go in and pay cash, but if I'm in a hurry, I just zip my card and go.

$2.43 is more like it, 2.42 9/10 is kinda awkward, but if I say $2.43, people will think I mean $2.43 9/10, which means $2.44, and that's tomorrow's price!

I use my AMEX at Costco.  Costco members get a price break of about 5 cents off the average market price in the area, plus I get 3% rewards back...it kinda adds up.

$2.49 now. $3 is going to suck.

Well, most of us like to truncate that 9/10ths thingy and report the whole-number price, since those numbers stand out on the signs. I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but if you were to purchase exactly one gallon of gas and pay cash for it, you would undoubtedly have to pay the whole cent; you can't cut your penny into 10 pieces and submit only 9 of them; U.S. currency doesn't work that way. So if the designated price for a gallon of gas was, say, $2.83 9/10, you'd actually pay $2.84, right?

$2.49 now. $3 is going to suck.

It's back up there in our area now. :o

I got gas yesterday for 94.3c/L

I don't want it to go over $1 again

$2.89 and $2.91 at the two gas stations I frequent as of today.... and the crazy gas stations are around $3.20

For the past few weeks my local gas prices have hovered around $3/gal, and they were just a shade below that on last check.

Currently $2.59 for unleaded in my area.

Now back above $3/gal.

The Costco near my house currently sells unleaded gas for $2.85, but there were long lines of cars there a couple days ago...which doesn't surprise me.

$2.34

Cheapest I saw today was $2.41.  Most expensive $2.74

Just about ready to drop under $2.00 here.

bastards.  it's 2.97 here

Just paid $2.75 at Costco; that's 20 cents less than our local Shell station.

Paid $2.53 for it at Thornton's here yesterday; Oh yeah I got 3 cents off per gallon for using my debit card otherwise it would have been $2.56

Filled up for $2.29 a couple of days ago.

It's only about $2.59 for cheap grade up here in Massatwosheeshs.  I'm predicting a six-dollar summer, gotta get people nice and p*ssed off for November, y'know!
