Wow!!!!!

[speakerman39]

Hey guys, I filled my pos car up today and gas was $2.919 a gallon! I mean, I never guessed I would EVER say that $2.919 a gallon would be a bargain. But, nevertheless it is. So, what is it where you are? I just hope that the price drop is NOT a result of the up-coming election. But, I would NOT be surprised if it was.

Cheers,

Phil

Price drop has nothing to do with the election. The past week of economic troubles have driven commodities prices back through the floor. Oil closed on Friday @ $77 a barrel, and everything I read is predicting $50-60 by the end of the year. With weaker economies in almost every developed and developing country, demand for oil is falling as well. China is a huge culprit here- I read something the other day that said that the predicted oil usage by China for the next year was going to fall 20-30%.

The dollar is also getting stronger, which should help keep the downward pressure on oil prices.

I see your point, but it does seem like it goes down when election time is at hand. Personally, I find it to be a bit more than coincidence. But, I can not say it isn't possible either. I knew sooner or later gas had to come down. Nothing like the present if you ask me.

That really is a good price. There was a station in Evansville, IN that had 2.899 which is the lowest I have seen. Sure felt good not having to spend over $35 on a fill-up.

Hey Brian, not sure how much that would be here in the US. Can you give me a better idea? It sounds very reasonable, but I am NOT certain.

That is not too bad Maz. It seems to be coming down daily here. Would be very nice to see it fall below $2 a gallon. However, that is probably nothing moire than wishful thinking.

$1.02/Litre Cdn here today. Please don't ask me to do the conversion. Math is a weak area for me.

Google.

$1.15/Liter = $4.35/Gallon if my math is correct...

At the current exchange rate, that's $3.26USD/gallon.

Your math is spot on for converting liters to gallons. That's $4.35 Canadian, $3.65 USD.

 

[Joe Schmoe]

$2.49/gal here.

There was a Flying J truck stop just off I-4 here near Tampa that was selling 87 oct for $2.85/gal last week. People were waiting in line for 30-45 minutes easily, just to get to the pumps. Elsewhere in my area, the lowest price seen so far has been about $3.19, same as Mazer. I can actually fill up my Explorer for less than $80 again!

$3.09/gal in Limerick PA.
