Kevin's Watch

We're at $2.25. There are probably areas of Florida under $2.00, as my county has one of the highest add-on taxes to gasoline in the state...

Me neither!

I paid $2.17 in Roanoke over the weekend. That was soooo sweet.

I'll be buying gas today as I suspect the price will skyrocket after the election.

Hmm, I guess it depends on which conspiracy theory you subscribe to. Either the Republicans are keeping it low so people will like them better, or the Republicans are keeping it high so that we'll be more inclined to vote for "Drill baby drill!" McCain/Palin....

Nah, it's going down here tomorrow by quite a bit. Plummeting oil prices and a firming of our currency. It's actually not a government conspiracy. Not your government anyway.

(Wasn't this thread in the 'Tank?)

Hyperception made me a promise, back when gas was around $3.65/gallon, that if it ever went back down under $2.00/gallon, he would strip naked and dance under a gas station sign displaying the price for $1.99/gallon.

He was that sure it would never go below $2.00/gallon again...



...time to start investigating those disposable video cameras...

It's $1.89 here today.

I paid $1.99/gallon at Costco this morning. Filled the tank for less than 20 bucks!

*better start looking for that video camera*

And be sure to post the video on YouTube!

...ooo...

$1.94 last night.

I saw one station for $1.87 today, and E85 was $1.62! I wonder how long this can last?

It's 1.85 here. That's 2004 prices! How low will it go? Predictions? I think it may get to 1.50.

How long it stays low depends on how long demand stays low. In the current global economy, that might be a while. Retail numbers don't look good. But if it stays low long enough, demand will rise.

Does anyone remember in 1998 when it dipped down to 0.88?

$1.88 last night.

We're always lagging. Regular is $2.19 for me.

Still around $2.25 here...

It never got that low here, I think we were hovering just over a buck a gallon.

We're still around $2.10 here, I'd love to see it go lower.

That said, if it stays cheap, usage is going to go back up.

I *know* I've whined about this here previously: Just before we left Denver in February 1999, I was paying 78 cents a gallon for gas. It popped up to 83 cents a gallon a week or two before we left to return to the East Coast, and I thought I was being gouged. Little did I know....

The cheap gas place dropped to $1.99 over the weekend. I assume that means Costco will be lower by a couple of pennies. I'll have to fill up again tomorrow or the next day, so I'll soon know for sure!

I heard on the radio this morning that orders for bigger vehicles are increasing again.

$1.83 at one station today. I have kept my driving about the same throughout. . . and no plans to change that any time soon. It is nice to have more money in the budget, though.
