Default Do you guys remember

About a year ago Dodge gave gas incentives that if you bought a new dodge you would pay only 2.99 a gallon for the next 3 years. I hope no one here fell for that one


I filled up for 2.80 yesterday it was the first time in a long time I can remeber filling up for under $40

I don't think it was a year ago. It was morelike 4-6 months ago and I wondered about it then. Sure am glad gas is down out of the luxury catagory. It's $2.69 here.

It's still entirely possible that it could shoot back up at anytime.. And Dodge was giving those incentives, plus huge dealer rebates, especially on trucks. So it wasn't like one or the other. Shoot, I would have taken it when Gas was $4.00 here a couple of months ago..

Funny you mention that, I was talking with my roommate today while grocery shopping about that exact topic after seeing gas for $2.68... hilarious in my book

It's kinda funny how gas prices shot down so far, escpecially right after the storms that shut down some refineries. Here on the east coast we were running out of gas, but prices kept going down. This doesn't seem logical. I'm guessing the big oil corps. are realizing that we are getting very flustrated at rising prices, and we can stop driving so much.

We can all make a full tank of gas go way further if we stop driving for even a few miles a day.

I mentioned in a thread a few months ago, that I thought prices would go down. We as american citizens have a bigger say than we realize. But I don't feel warm and fuzzy about prices staying low. We may be getting setup for another round of price hikes.

I think they like to keep us on the rollercoaster ride so we don't know what to expect. Just like the stock market and economy in general. We really don't know what's coming next, but we have to take it either way.

We all have to live our lives, and that means Gas, food, and utilties, Plus beer and cigs for me.
