George2615 hit the nail on the head, we NYers are paying it through our noses and every other orifice imaginable!! Todays prices in NE NY Gas $3.05 Diesel $3.15. We'll probably be around $3.50 by the Holiday weekend. We certainly haven't seen any decreases here.....

Big name gas stations here are about $3.03 while the "no name" ones have dropped to around $2.97. It's a shame we are all getting excited about prices under three bucks. Oh to return to those glorious days of yesteryear when we complained about 0.30 per gallon being expensive .

Gas was 2.70 at Speedway this morning, was going to fill up there but forgot to.
Had to go back to town this evening and Speedway had lowered it to 2.65.
Filled up there and got 3 cents per gallon off using my speedy rewards card which brought it down to 2.62.

Regular gas in Halifax Va. $2.46. Diesel $2.79. I wish every year was an election year. LOL LOL Don't know what off road is now. But I'll plan to fill my bulk tank on Nov. 1st or 2nd. LOL It's a darn shame to get excited because gas is under $2.50. (grin) Now I have to figure out who to vote for or against. Decisions decisions.

If it gets down to 2 bucks I might see my way clear to drive to the polling station and vote. Anything above 2 bucks I'm staying at home. LOL

Still $2.39 here in town, $2.36 with prepaid Wally card. We have an Exxon station in town that is stuck on $2.94 for the last week. The stations all around him are $2.39-$2.42 and this Exxon seems oblivious to the competition. It's a fairly big station with 10-12-pumps and a little Wendy's in there as well. Every now and then you see some poor elderly person in there getting gas and a good 50+ cent clipping. I guess they must have Exxon cards and feel a sense of loyalty to them, or, they are not paying attention.
Gotta watch those rascals, they like to play games with those prices!

I saw today Walmart in Cambridge is down to $2.26 and Pilot and the new Sheetz are at $2.29.
Up on route 40, Exxon is still at $2.94! What's going on over there?

Up here in Youngstown, gas is around $2.49 still. I paid $2.99 for diesel today.

Well looks like I'm in the high priced part of the US....Oak Harbor, WA. Paid $2.98/gal at the Citgo (7-11 store) today. And there are two refineries just 15 miles away, our tax per gallon is outrageous here in WA!

Just got home from the gas station where I filled up 3 PickUps and a 5 gallon can.
$2.579

Think about this....

We are all reasonably sure that the big oil companies are engaging in price fixing, right?

When the price of gasoline started going through the roof, alternative fuels got going, but not before oil companies were posting record profits.

We "have to have it"....petroleum in the form of gasoline. The oil companies aren't stupid. They know that we, the American people and the people of the civilized world will pay the price to "have it".

But, now we are delving into alternative fuels like E85, oil from coal, oil from shale soy diesel, hybrid vehicles and what do the oil companies think?

Ethanol is by far the most progressed of alternative fuels though ethanol isn't as friendly as people think, it can be produced (and imported) in quantities large enough to make the oil companies take notice and this is exactly what they are doing. The break point for E85 from the producers/distillers standpoint is $2.42 per gallon. Factoring in the decrease in fuel mileage in a flex fuel vehicle, (remember that probably 90% of the vehicles on the road today can't run E85) regular unleaded gasoline, if it is below $2.60 per gallon, makes ethanol production unprofitable.

There is a problem and that is the American farmers have invested in domestic ethanol plants and have contracted their crops to the ethanol industry to be distilled and the farmers are going to take a hit (again). Can they afford it, I don't think so. Does our gummit care, no way. The good old boys on Pennsylvania Avenue are still lining their pockets from oil company stock dividends. Remember, Bush is an oil man, not an ethanol man.

I believe that after the oil companies squash the ethanol industry and other alternative fuels will follow suit, the price of gas will be adjusted to at least $5.00 per gallon and, we will pay it because we "have to have it".

By the way, prices here beat all of you......in Toledo, 2.27 per gallon.

It's dropped here at local corner station to $2.39 this evening on the way home.

'They' had to lower the price, it was getting too expensive to keep the black helicopters in the air and too expensive to travel to the conspiracy meetings.

How many of these useless 'Price of Gas in your town' threads are we going to have?

While I find them useless as well, afterall, (1) There are plenty of places on the Internet to get this info and (2) The information is irrelevant since no one is going to drive across the country to buy gas.

Having said that, no one is required to read every thread.

Do you have a list available of your "approved" subjects?

You're smokin.

I'd imagine that an "approved subject" would be cigar smoking 101

Mike:

If you went somewhere say on vacation you might drive across the country. It would be nice to know how much fuel was in advance.

Hi Daryl,

GasBuddy might be a better solution.
