Gas Below $2

Okay all you Eastern and Mid west guys and Idaho too, Ipaid 2.390 at Costco in Simi Valley on Wednesday but saw private stations(mostly Standard oil) at over $4.39 the weekend before.

Now if you want to see the number of RVers from Cali drop, wait till the State Legislature gets in session next year. Uncle Gerry wants a 50% reduction in all fossil fuels and it will pass next year. So all you folks back in the Midwest/east get ready for an influx of not only poor, broke RVers but businesses too.

I've got to convince the DW to sell our S&B and move someplace sensible but with a mild climate. Hope my grandkids will like No Carolina or West Virginia. 75 years of Democratic rule, several Republican Governors but Democratic Legislature and now they want to ration gasoline.

To the Mod, this is not a political rant, this is front page news here in So Cal.

$1.63!!!!!? Really? That's crazy, and to think its only $2.58 here in the Chicago suburbs, and it has stayed out for almost a week now!

Lowest price on gas with credit card in SC today:

While this could very well be possible the oil companies will not let that happen. the oil industry is the only industry that can manipulate prices by 1000% to bolster their profits. Now I do agree that they should be allowed to make as much money as possible, but to manipulate prices at will with nothing more than a statement of "a shutdown" or "shortage" is bad both as a business and for an economy that can be crippled by a huge change in a barrel of oil. the oil they pull out of the ground today will not see production for almost a year! don`t believe me? look what happened when oil prices went to $4.50 a gallon back in 08. No, that wasn`t the sole reason for the collapse, but it didn`t help!

If oil companies set the price of oil, why in the hell would they let it drop to 40/bbl. when it was north of 120/bbl not too long ago?

To put American fracking out if business. Drop the prices for a while, let the Eco people pound away at the dangers of fracking long enough for legislation against it to happen, then raise the prices to an all time high by limiting production.

Well with the recent run-up of oil prices, we won't be seeing $2/gallon anytime soon.

The lowest price I seen for reg unl gas was $1.64 in Lexington SC . Diesel was $2.25.

In Iowa now on our way back to Calif...we stopped for fuel and this is my first time seeing a pump with so many choices(diesel, E-85, E-15, Reg unleaded, mid grade and super). THe E-85 was at 1.94 gallon......No, we didn't use it.... :-)

2.49 here in mcpherson and we have a large refinery here. Went down to 2.39 today.

I read a good article a few years ago about that exact phenomenon. They trended the price of crude with the price of regular unleaded. As the price of crude went up, so did the price of gas. However, when the price of crude droipped, it took, on average, three months for the gas prices to correct back to the 'normal' levels that paralleled the crude prices before the increase.
