Honda_Boy Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 $1.95 for 87 octane here. Been that since Thursday. I paid $2.25 for 93 Octane Shell V-Power. For the most part, the prices are still the same but I heard tale nearby there's 87 octane gas for $1.92. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Funny how in such a short time after additional offshore and sensitive area drilling is approved by Congress, prices came down. It's almost like foreign oil companies are trying to dissuade us from tapping our own reserves or something. Of course, supply and demand is still relevant: With the economy in the doldrums no one's driving if they don't HAVE to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 87 octane dropped to $2.32 here and our Governor wants to increase the gas tax to help offset the economic crisis. |*(#&$$ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bozodog Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Liz, JennyG won't be happy until she can just cash our checks. No need for us to go to the bank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 $1.85 for regular is what I saw on the way home from work tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 No fair! You guys don't have to pay extra for "Winter-blend" gas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 No fair! You guys don't have to pay extra for "Winter-blend" gas. They do the summer blend winter blend thing here in Dallas and ususally blame it for "shortages" which cause the price to jump .But it looks like right now that prices are still dropping.

Matt Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 My mom just texted me, she got it for $1.57 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Stopped and got gas after class. $1.79 for 87 Octane Regular. It was $2.09 for my 93 Octane Shell V-Power. I put in 9.5 gallons and paid $20. Last time I remember paying $20 for a full tank was in my old car and that was with 87. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Saw a station at $1.69 yesterday but it was somewhere I don't stop at. Everywhere else was still $1.79. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honda_Boy Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Friend of mine took this pic. It's at one of the stations out by the interstate which are always cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's crept back up 'round here, likely due to the "holiday travel season." Yeah, like anybody's traveling these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan72 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) I am saving big $$ with the lower gas prices ,I went from having to draw money out of my account in the middle of the week to survive to a surplus of money at the end of the pay week nowand i filled up my vehicle for the first time last weekhttp://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasStationsBeta.aspx Edited November 25, 2008 by Dan72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yep, I think that hit a lot of folks really hard and contributed to the economic crisis we are in. Low and Middle income folks could not cut back on the fuel they used going to work and hence had to draw down savings when they were living on a paycheck to paycheck budget and it does not take long for the average person to exhaust those savings. Then they have to choose which budget item gets slashed food, housing, medicine.... something has to go.First is discretionary buying, making things last longer and not buying things you do not absolutely need. Without the average consumer buying stuff soon the whole economy is in a world of hurt.I think that a great part of the drop in gas prices is that the speculators and commodity brokers are no longer able to borrow money or short other investors holdings so that they can speculate on the price of gasoline and drive it up to make themselves some quick money. Even the hedge fund guys are avoiding it and hence only the actual buyers and sellers are involved and the price is returning to what it should be. Still we need to cut our demand for gasoline and foreign oil; but we also need to regulate the scumbag speculators and keep them from driving the economy down the drain again.

Honda_Boy Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Not quite sure if it's the gas but I've kinda hit a surplus of money too. So much so, I'm buying my mom a new cell phone and something else, my dad a Blackberry, and my brother a 640GB hard drive for Christmas and I just bought a new laptop, replacement LCD for my old laptop (cause I already hate the new one and am selling it), and 3 PC games in the last few weeks. But only paying $18 to fill up as opposed to $35-40 is certainly helping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
