2.29 just about twenty min ago

wow

looks like you'll be shittin that brick soon there buddy boy.

just dropped to 2.69 last night.

$2.53 and falling here in Metro Atlanta.

So? If this country started right now and made the same kind of people/resource commitment to designing practical alternative fuel powerplants as we did to landing on the moon, you'd be cruising in a non-fossil-fuel vehicle inside of 10 years easy. Unfortunately, there's too much money to be made on fossil fuels in the meantime, and as sad and unfair as it is, that joke about the Golden Rule is true - they who have the gold make the rules. Big money contributors (like oil & auto companies) have billions to spend on "helping" things go their way, so things generally go their way.

But by the same token, as fossil fuels are depleted, there will be so much money to be made on providing an alternative powerplant that it'll happen in plenty of time.

$2.39 this morning

it's also been predicted that the gas supply will be depleted by 2003. 2020, 2080, or 2200 i have all heard.

gas was 2.52 in attica in. today (badlands offroad park.)

Made sure to take advantage of that today, that's for sure. I'll probably never see those prices here in Chicago again.

That may not be so true. Up here in Canada (Northern Alberta), there is over three times the amount of crude oil than there is in Saudi Arabia. Of course it's locked away in the tar/oil sands, so it's harder to produce. Also, there has been a new very large deposit found in the Gulf of Mexico just recently.

US reserves including increasingly more obtainable tar oil sands are larger then Saudi Arabia as well. The oil aint running out any time soon, and with such low pollution vehicles today, there is no crisis. Just stay away from those left wing special interests who love to wash your brain

Bush has diverted most reasearch money from more silly clean burning engine research to Hydrogen Emagine not having to carry Jerry Cans?

It still blows my mind how prices can vary so widely in a small area.

Where I work - it *just* dipped below $2.70. 15 miles north...$2.90. 15 miles south... $2.27.

For that price difference, it's *almost* worth it to drive the 15 miles...*almost*

Absolutely.

Filled up in New Jersey on Sunday for $2.71 a gallon.

It's still hovering around $3.00 here. Some stations lower, and a few miles away as high as $3.10 or more.

Less than a mile from my house I can get gas for $2.31.

Go 25 miles into DC and it's over $3

Google "cracking oil"

Many refineries in the east have these installed and can produce a significant amount of fuel from the worthless asphalt that is left over after refining. North american oil has a larger amount of asphalt than middle eastern oil.

But, your local highway department hates these towers. The gas shortage will be replaced with an asphalt shortage. Once asphalt become profitable, expect more to be made, reducing the gas supply, increasing prices all around.

Notice the dividing line on the map for cheap gas. Western states oil refineries were slow in purchasing the cokers

And I remember back when I was a kid in the 70's when they told us that we were going to run out of fossil fuels sometime in the mid 80's!

Where do you live in NOVA? 2.31 sounds good to me. Around the Woodbridge area it is around 2.49. I guess I can check gasbuddy.com.

Could not have said it better. Just wait...it'll be back above $3.00 by Thanksgiving.

$2.27 at the Gainesville Wawa.

$2.87 here in the Bay Area...but why are you buying 93? Do you guys have SC or does the Xs run better???

2.37 here, and there were reports that gas may drop to $2 or less by thanksgiving. Additionally, it seems the gas companies are making more now than when gas was at $3 or higher. Go figure.

Bristow. The cheap gas is on 29 just west of Gainesville at the new Wa Wa.

Just checked gaspricewatch.com

Exxon at Gainesville is now $2.09!

$2.19 here in STL
