Default Gas Price Check

According to this article, gas is dropping like crazy in price. What are you all paying?

Passed a Shell station today and it was 3.05. That's the lowest I've seen in the Denver area in quite some time.

I paid $3.07/gal the other day, but that was due to 10˘ discount.





I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that primary season just about a year off.

$3.41 for regular and $3.64 for premium where I normally go near my house. Lowest I have seen it in a long time.

It has to do with oil being less expensive, as oil price is the main variable in gasoline prices

Unfortunately, NY will NEVER see any prices anywhere near $3 or below. We'll probably get down to $3.20 at best.

I got home last night to discover prices just dipped to 2.99 in my area. I needed to fill up again so 2.89. That's pretty sweet! If this keeps up and prices trickle down at Sunoco I might snag a couple drums of race gas for weekend enjoyment.

Sweet? When I was a wee laddy I recall the dollar signs going up slower than the gallons. THAT was sweet. Does nobody remember what prices were like even just 15 years ago?



What you people should be getting upset over is the way your government is stealing your hard-earned wages through the hidden tax called "inflation". Note the almost perfect-fit positive correlation between our money supply and our gasoline price per gallon. This is not coincidental. This took me longer to put in one image than it took finding the graphs on GIS and I just stretched one of them to make the time scales match up.



For your consideration:
