Dam that Dewy Decimal feller...

Actually, a few months ago, when fuel prices were way up there, there was a station down the road from the shop that had premium gas for $42.59...yup, that's what the sign said! It was like that for about three weeks, too! I guess I musta been the only one that noticed...

Filled up "The Silverbuckboard" Friday night on the way home from work at $1.95 for regular unleaded. It has been quite a stretch since the price was that low.

Driving around today prices ranged from $2.03 to $2.09.

I filled up my DD yesterday in Gastonia for 1.98 per gallon. Considering North Carolina's rediculous gas tax, that was great !! BUT IT WON'T STAY THAT WAY !!

I filled up tonight for $1.75 for regular unleaded. No coupons, no gimmicks. I could have used a $.10 savings and got it for $1.65, but I only needed a half tank, so I'm waiting for that.

Wow! Lots of you folks are getting it cheap!

I put the cheap stuff in my Honda Civic commuter. Lowest I've seen it is $2.55. I'm hoping it continues to drop. We'll see.

Got regular for $1.71/gal today. It's regularly @ $1.81, but I got it on special. Lowest I've paid in quite a few years. I agree with Joel, it's gonna go back up, probably by Christmas. These oil companies just aren't gonna let that much money get by them for long. Just too greedy.

Gas around here bounces up and down a couple of cents every few days, but has settled at about $1.75/gal on average. Sure is a lot better than it was just a few months ago. At least the gas prices are lower now while the economy goes in the dump.

Gas here in East Tennessee was down to $1.39 for regular a week or so ago. They have went back up on gas I am assuming for the Christmas Holidays.

$1.49 average for Reg. here. Prem is $1.89 most places...

[QUOTE=manget1]By the way Joel, Diesel here is as low as $2.52[/QUOTE]

Yeah, well...it ain't gonna do me no gud...

The Mercedes took a doo-doo this morn, and I gave up.
During the summer, when Sneezle was $5 gal, apparently, some of the shady fuel stations were hosing down their tanks with water...

Now, the tank on da Merc is full of rust, which forces me to stop every couple of days and change the pre-filter. This morning, however....all the friggin water in the tank finally froze up....
(Sorry...this is off topic, and I really don wanna talk aboot it anyway....

Ya know I FIND IT amazing THAT these companies can produce this stuff and manipulate the market at their whim. Hmmm holiday is comming up sp the price goes up. This happns every year and every holiday. Magically the price goes up in spring and over ebery major national holiday. I would like to find a solution to that price gauging.

We are holdin steady round 1.69
