[squirt1]

Gas was 2.99 and lower yesterday in Cincinnati. What is it in your locale?

Same here. 2.97 at Murphy.

[journel]

if it's $1.99/gallon...then i can call it a price drop!

[conversationpc]

I've seen it as low as $2.79/gallon here in the Indianapolis area. That's on the south side of town, though. Here on the north side where I live, it's still around $3.00 to $3.19/gallon.

[S2M]

If they can do it now, they could have dropped it MONTHS ago......

[Journey/Survivor]

Right down the street from me right now it's at 2.79

But I've heard that at some other Cleveland area stations it's as low as 2.65

The only reason the oil companies have gotten away with these prices is because of the Bush administration. The oil companies desperately want a Republican in the white house so they can keep charging these insane and all out immoral prices. But they also know that American's are mad as hell about the gas prices. So their temporarily lowering the gas prices until after the election in hopes that it might calm down some of the anger toward the Republican party.

You really need to read the international financial news a bit more. Does supply and demand, bank collapses and the USD ring any bells for you?

Nope, don't buy it. All the oil co shills were hollering "supply and demand has NOTHING to do with the pricing" just a few months ago. Now suddenly...it DOES???

Face it folks...we've been getting it doggy style from the oil companies for quite some time now. Accept it...own it... and quit making excuses for billionaires who could give a shit less if you lived or not.

I think you have your facts confused. I'd like to see one example of even one oil company saying it wasn't market factors and that includes the value of the dollar.

[Luvsaugeri]

$2.63 here in Canton, Ohio.

[Ehwmatt]

Man Luvsaugeri and Jrny/Survivor, lowest I've seen here in Avon Lake/Bay/Avon is 2.82. Still pretty good though. It was $3.31 in Northwest PA on Friday when I drove home for fall break, so I'm not complaining.

WE'RE GONNA LIVE!!!! Maybe now I can put those curtains back on the window where they belong...

[Wildfire]

Hello all you kiddies- Americans are using less and the dollar rose against the Euro which means our ability to get more bang for the buck lowers the price ! Geez !!!!!

[Enigma869]

Unfortunately, even with this "price drop", gasoline is still a whopping 49 cents a gallon higher today, than it was just one year ago!

That's not how things work......Americans are guzzling just as much as always.

Once again, look into 'The Energy Non-Crisis'

[squirt1]

Stockton- Don't you remember this same cycle in the Carter administration? I must say this event is w/o the 20% inflation !!!!! It was not as much a global economy but gas went from 33.9, independents were systematically put out of business and the price became !.00. Then Sohio became BP(British Petroleum), Shell is Dutch owned and I think only Marathon is the only American owned and #14 in the world. Everything seems to be owned by whoever one minute holds it and then sells to the next. GLOBAL scary. I told my kids to buy GOLD when it was 235.00. I have seen this before so some things remain the same. With our new technology we need to drill for our own while developing other systems. Russia wants the srtic and China is already drilling off Cuba. This is nutty and a reason you also pay more.

$2.91 Arkansas

Sorry, no sympathy from this bunny. Try living anywhere else in the world before you start bitching about fuel prices. Whatcha think of $2.70 per litre, huh??

You know what, the US uses around 1/4 of the world's oil, and you have some of the most inefficient practices I've come across. I actually try not to think about it because it puts my blood pressure through the roof.

You want to bring oil prices down? Try buying a little less. Stop driving fuel guzzling cars, turn your heating down and put some warm clothes on in winter, turn the air conditioning down and be heat-smart in summer, and start demanding energy efficient products. Get that American ingenuity woking to catch up a little with the rest of us, and you might get a leeeeeetle more sympathy about your ridiculously cheap fuel being a bit less cheap than it used to be.

[Michigan Girl]

Dang...$3.14 in LA., what's up with that?

You do pay a great deal more overseas. I do all those conservation things. Many do not your right. But I was raised with a frugal dad! LOL! I am not griping, but we make less in wages here than some countries, and more than others. What is the average pay for common folk in your country? I am just curious!

Absolutely watch out for Russia. They have the biggest untapped reserves right now and they want the control.

If I'm doing my math right, US gasoline demand is down for the week of 10/03 just over 21,000,000 gallons per day over same period 2007. Worldwide demand is down as well. Jet and Diesel are a big part of the equation and they are down big time.

Median annually is $30-$40k. The minimum wage for an Australian worker is $12.95 p/h for a full time worker, but we have one of the highest rates of casual workers in the world (2nd, I think) - which means slightly more per hour, but no holiday pay, no sick pay, no health cover, no pay on public holidays, and absolutely no job security - you can turn up to your shift and be told 'sorry, your contract ends today' with no explanation (sorry, you've got me on a rant here - hate where the last governement took this country! Hate that the current one is dragging its heels to fix stuff!)

But it's relative, too - I pay $38 for a new release CD, and a bargain bin discount is $9. Loaf of bread is around $2-3, a 2-litre bottle of milk is around $3-4, a pair of jeans is $50-$150 (standard label, not designer), case of beer is around $35-60.

An unproven reserve means nothing......

Well over here minimum wage is around 5.25 an hour. It might have gone up slightly. Things are cheeper but as you see wages are not great. Especially in states like mine where jobs are like yours, right to work, termination for any cause. No sick pay, etc. For most minimum wage workers. That is the largest work force in my state. So the price of gas is bad for someone living on so little. But I agree, it kind of averages about the same all the way around. You make more, things cost more.
