It was $2.25 today...

The wholesale price is $1.4783.... so I would suspect we might actually see sub $2 gas in the coming months if demand stays low as expected.

With the daily drops in gas here, it might be under $2 by Thanksgiving.

I know I am excited. Especially since I drive everyday for work, last week was 800 miles and I get paid $.40/mi.

Still €1.29 a litre it's highest, we're not seeing any reduction in price at the pumps. The greedy bastards in this country deserve a recession. They won't be happy until they've driven this country into the ground. Oh well, back to mass immigration I hear the Polish are hiring.

The cheapest around here is $1.73 (Cash).

Wholesale was $1.15...

How low can it go? $.50/gal would be great.... haha

I think it's like $1.93 at some places around here. I hope it goes lower, but I'm also still trying to keep my driving to a minimum because we seriously do need to reevaluate how much gas we use, regardless of the price.

Prices back down to between €1.09 and €1.14 a liter. Diesel and petrol prices have evened out too. Their almost the same again.

I'm so jealous, it's $2.27 here and I thought that was cheap! I guess that is what I get for living in CA.

Since the gas prices have gone so low, the traffic has become horrible. I can't decide if I would rather have high gas prices and a quick commute, or low gas prices and a longer commute.

It's funny, I just started to carpool to work. Why I didn't think of it over the summer when gas was almost $5 a gallon, I don't know??

geez, and I thought 2.39 was cheap! 2.39 is the cheapest I've found in my area but it ranges in most places in Miami 2.45 - 2.59 still. I'm jealous of you guys in the under 2 dollars range!!

$1.60 - Cash
$1.64 - Credit here south of detroit.

Driving around for work I find it amazing how much gas varies.... I've seen it range from $1.60 to $2.09

Gas Futures were downt to $1.01/gal.

I still don't drive much more than I have to, but I drive a lot for work.
