- John___AngelaExplorerGas and diesel dropped a nickel since this time last week. 4.05 gas and about 4.25 diesel. Palm Springs California.
- SRTExplorerGasoline prices continue their downward drift. Some stations are at $3.71, others at $3.74, with the low at $3.68. Considering that oil prices didn't move all that much ($91.02 this morning), gasoline prices moved quite a bit. Diesel prices around here are still over $4.00 a gallon. Really get the feeling that we are being jerked around by the oil companies/refinery's. Are enough people PO'd enough??
- Keith099ExplorerRegular:$3.65
Diesel:$3.95
What I've seen here lately is some stations will be $0.10 extra for each higher grade, and others will have a $0.60 jump from regular to mid. I hate those signs that list only one price. Once I pull up and see the 60-cent bump for mid-grade, I feel like the station operator is saying "bet you're too lazy to drive to the next place." Too bad for them I'm not.
If you've got a smartphone or tablet, look up GasBuddy. Little, free app that allows you to report fuel prices and see other users reports. Simple to use, and works well. At the very least, it lets me know if I'm getting scalped. - Gale_HawkinsExplorerGas/Diesel prices have crashed locally to $3.64/$3.89. :)
- LindsayRichardsExplorerI filled up my truck yesterday at $3.63 in Central Florida. I might also add, that several varieties of oil futures are readily available and anybody can become a "speculator". If this is such good deal, then y'all should jump into it with your retirement savings and make a killing. There is some risk involved. In the long run, for everybody that makes a dollar, somebody loses a dollar. Let us know how things work out.
- AO_hitechExplorerNot leashed, eliminated. There is no legitimate reason to have gas and oil sold on the commodities market.
- SRTExplorerPrices are slowly, very slowly drifting down, a penny here, 2¢ there. Why do I feel violated? $91.83 for a barrel of oil this morning. My feeling is that the speculators got us again. They got rich on our pain at the pump. This has been going on for too long. The speculators have to be leashed.
- PoolExplorerDropped .04 cents just going to dinner tonight. $3.51
Sales may have dropped off so price falls a bit. - tomman58Explorer

It appears that gasoline prices are oozing down. Some stations are down to $3.75. $92.74 for a barrel of oil. That's down about $5. Speculators must have made some money on us, the users. Maybe if we made more noise it would make a difference (HA!).
Speculators must have made some money on us, ya think???? - LindsayRichardsExplorerI am assuming you mean Lakeland instead of Lake land. It has been Lakeland since at least 1915 when my Dad was born there. If you were in the area, you should have stopped by. I would have shown you where to buy some gas.
