it's about 1.50 to 1.60 here, so I'm pretty freakin' stoked about it. I just wonder how long it'll stay that low.

I read an article that said that it could hit a dollar in the next few months but people said that it would hit 5 or 6 dollars like 6 months ago too so you can't really believe any of that crap

Only if demand goes back up, which would require us to reverse this global economic depression. So, either way win. Decrease in gas prices and employment, or increase in gas prices and employment. I will take the latter.

Yes it will, but I don't think it will go back to the extremes that it was at this summer.
$1.53 here today

It will but with the global demand going down it won't be for a bit

it's estimated that the global demand drops about 50,000 barrels per day

even with the prodution cuts and threats of prodution cuts and a holiday it hasn't really stopped going down christmas and new years are coming and that might stop it for a week

my guess is it will bottom out at around a dollar


it's 1.43 by me

I should be able to get premium for just about a dollar here in a week or two with my discount for spending x amount of dollars at the local grocery store. <--- Awesome program, by the way

I'm just glad every day that it drops I'm sure it will go up again but I am thank full for every day I can fill my tank without haveing to worry about what I can't afford because of it

I used to spend $150+ on gas for a month and with it being this low it's less than half that now it's maybe $60 a month and that alot more manigable

Indeed, shaws does that for me. The strange (cool) part of it is you can combine coupons, and they are good for two weeks. With the amount I spend on groceries weekly thats 10cents off each time.

$1.63 here now for regular. I started carpooling in June with a friend of mine at work due to the gas prices. I could drive every day now that the prices are lower, but I won't because I like not putting as many miles on my car. I just rolled over to 17,000 this weekend.

I have gone from spending $400/month on gas, to know not even giving a dam.

Great to see gas prices low, but they are not low for the right reasons. Then again, when they were high, they were not high for the right reasons either.
