About $2.33 here and still going down. Of course the reason is that demand is down. Now that the price is low and the holidays are approaching it will soon go back up.

Why would the demand be down? People still gotta go to work and school. Sure, folks aren't travelling for vactions and stuff, but if that were the only reason, prices would've been in decline since Labor Day weekend, right? It seems like it's only been in the last few weeks that prices started dropping.

By the way, I paid $2.61 Monday night.

Demand and the price of a barrel of oil is down - people are driving less

Do you know that for fact or are you just speculating? I'm not trying to be argumentative or anything, but I hear people say they're not drving as much as they are getting into their SUV's to drive to the corner 7-11 for a pack of smokes. And judging by the amount of traffic I sit in every morning and night on I-95, I sure as heck ain't seeing any decline.

According to reports I heard on the radio, demand is way down from the same time period last years, this was measured by gallaons of gas sold and miles driven - the thought was that we are driving to work, but not too many other places.

The other big factors are the fears of a world wide recession (which I think we are already in) and the dollar is stronger than it was earlier this year (oil is sold in dollars). I think it;s funny that OPEC cuts production and oil still goes down - the OPEC countries want $100 a barrel oil again (of course, the rest of the world does not)

When I left for lunch, it was 2.45. When I got back it was 2.39.

They lower the gas prices, so everyone is happy around election times. They will go back up when it's all over, and one of the candidates is settled in office.

Now THAT is speculation. I mean no disrespect, but that is nothing but a conspiracy theory. Prices in the market are determined by demand, supply, and economic factors.

OK!

Filled up yesterday. $2.65 per gallon.

2.28 thank god.

Down to $2.52 here now. If it gets down to and stays at about $2.25, I will get my new truck. If I get my promotion, I have been thinking about either a full size Nissan Titan or Frontier. Peace.

$2.33!

filled up at 2.05 yesterday course my town is at about 2.29

We made a after-midnight call last night and as we passed the Albertson's the gas there was down to $1.92!!

2.17 yesterday. I have about a third of a tank left and I'm milking it trying to see if gas will go below $2 here.

That's what I've been doing Toho!! I go home tomorrow morning, hopefully a little price-war will go on here and it will be $1.83 or something close to it. I can fill up for $20!!

Wow - and I thought the $2.19 I paid yesterday was good!!!!!!! Of course, that was in a different county (prince william) where the gas tax is lower than other counties. Costco is $2.23, the Exxon/Mobiles/Sunocos are all around $2.45. Under $2.00/gallon would be nice!!!

$2.65 is the cheapest I've seen it around here... I'm hoping it goes below $2, that would be awesome!

2.55 I think it was the last time I looked. Are all the gas stations charging 10 cents extra for using a charge card for everyone else? Not all the places are like that here but its just my luck the ones closer to my house are. I dont know when the last time I paid cash for gas.

I paid $1.89 on the way home from work this morning at Albertson's/Valero.

We're still stuck at $2.75 here.

I've noticed that there are a coupla gas stations in my area charge less for cash over credit, but not too many. I paid $2.45 yesterday, credit.

2.12 here

Around here it seems like everyone is charging more for credit. I think the only one that isnt is HESS but they are usually the same price as charge anyway so I dont bother.

Theres this one place actually where im going to go tomorrow on my way to practice. Its called Gasoline alley and all these gas stations are trying to beat eachothers prices so hopefully i'll be able to get a decent deal. I just wish it was closer to my house.

Most of the stations around here started up with the "pay cash and save 10 cents a gallon" crap within the last year or so, as gas prices skyrocketed. Until then most stations were the same price for either cash or credit.
