Gas Prices?

[lsherlockl]

last fillup was like 1.86 i love filling up a tank for less than $20 FFH and lower gas prices have over halved what i payed for gas before... That being said i'm not seeing as much cost savings with cheaper gas (oh well it still cost less overall)

$1.68 on base today! Woohoo! :)

Steve, just curious, what base are you near?

Sheppard AFB is 10 miles from my house. I retired from the AF after 23 years, with Sheppard being my last duty station.

 

Oh, and gas is $1.61 just down the street at the Alon Station! Yeee Haw! :)

Just filled with midgrade for $1.99 :) Enjoy it while you can, wont be long until it goes back up, with a vengeance.

The news reports consistently say that gas prices will stay low for quite a while, meaning what? Months, weeks, days? All I know is that Saudi Arabia is being beat at their own game finally! OPEC is desperately trying to control prices as they always have, and Russia is unfortunately suffering for it also. I have no love for Putin, but the citizens there deserve better.

 

I surprised myself the other day, and admittedly did some hyper miling, which I rarely do, but got 57 MPG around town. Kept the heat off (sunny day) and a trip of about 10 miles probably. I don't care about the gas prices so much, since no matter what they are I am always saving compared to many other drivers. That's why I bought the car.

Gas is down to $1.99 at Arco here in Palm Desert. I bet Californians didn't expect to see gas less than $2 per gallon when they've paid closer to $4 per gallon for so long. Our lowest on the road trip so far was Albuquerque at $1.659.

 

In Minneapolis the cheapest gas is nowhere near the ghetto. Here the cheapest gas is in the redneck suburbs. When traveling I use GasBuddy to find cheap gas near the freeway. We always seem to end up in the ghetto. We ended up in really seedy areas in Kansas City, Albuquerque & Phoenix by following GasBuddy to cheap gas. Has anyone else experienced this? Is the cheapest gas in the ghetto in your city?

For some odd reason gas jumped 22 cents overnight around here. I filled last night for $1.99 89 octane.

Probably because of the 10 expected snowflakes tomorrow :)

oh and dont forget Weekend! Only the ones at 14 and 176 and Thortons went up, the rest stayed the same.

Here the stations always raise the price the day our largest employer, State Farm, cuts their pay checks. One of the local radio guys actually documented this trend, though the retailers say it ain't so.

 

I like to game Gas Buddy prices when we travel, but I usually only will use stations near the highway exits. We usually plan our other "stopping needs" around this as well. It makes a game to pass the time. We did manage to watch the local PD bust some drug dealers in a van at a station while we were filling up near St. Louis last summer just before lunch. We decided to get back on the road and look for a nicer area to have our meal.

 

I wish there were more stations listed on the Nav system travel link, next to Gas Buddy that is a joke.
