I paid 86.9 cents per gallon when I bought gas this morning. I have seen it as low as 84.9 here in the last few days.
To show the difference in the past few months, there is a gas station about 500 yds from where I bought my gas that went out of business in June or July. Their sign is still up and reads $139.9 for regular unleaded.

Chuckus, that margin between Atlanta and Charlotte has been stable for the past 10 years. I can always count on paying 20 cents more per gallon on my trips to Charlotte, no matter if it's in January, May, or October.
They're ripping you guys off up there.

Must be all that cheap oil we're getting from Afghanistan, now that we've crushed them under our imperialistic bootheel.

Lowering gas prices is just another lame Republican plot by Bush, his oily henchmen, and the rich to trick Americans into buying gas guzzlers. This stuff about the law of supply and demand is nothing but hocus-pocus. As soon as we are all driving 6 and 8 cylinder vehicles, guess what will happen?
$10 - $12 per gallon, here we come. Just ask the Brits. Gas is so expensive there that the sell it by the litre and call it petrol.

How the heck are y'all getting gas at below $1.00? Is Oregon the only place left where you have to pay $1.49 a gallon? Cripes.
Rumor has it today, Arco has the all time low of the season for $1.19..
I'm moving over there by you guys, make some room for me.

Re: think yourselves lucky
Pablo's price is the equivalent of $4.11 per gallon.
No chance I'm bitching about the price of gas in comparison to what Europeans have to pay. Fuel efficiency is one of the key features I look at in a car. I currently get 35-40 mpg, and I will look for something more fuel efficient when I next have to purchase a car. Hopefully by then the hybrid cars will come in several designs.
I can't believe I got to this thread before anyone converted this for all the Americans.pabloback said:

Well, about 95c here, for Regular (91).
Per Litre.
But it's $NZ.
Hmmm - about $1.51 US/Gal, but I think 91 octane is higher than your Regular. We also have 96 and 98, they go for about $.99 and $1.03.

Re: DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND?
Nope, miles, lowering gas prices is an autumn tradition in the states, as is raising them again just before Memorial Day.
Now I'm sure you'll cry "supply and demand" as any good trickle down theorist should, but it's not like the increased demand in summertime actually takes the oily companies (and their Republicans-in-a-pocket) by surprise. It happens every year so supply is never truly an issue. It's just an excuse.
