Wife and I went grocery shoping tonight at HyVee in our area and the sign said "Buy $80.00 worth of groceries and get 40 cents a gal. off. Premium is $1.59 9/10 so that put it down to $1.19 9/10 a gal. and unleaded down to 99 9/10 a gal. The last time I saw gas this cheap was in the 70's. I can remember that gas was 6 cents a gal. when I was a kid.

 

It's been lower than that in recent years actually. I actually bought premium for under $1.00 sometime in the last 8 years. Don't remember when though.

 

$1.59 ...damn that is cheap..its $2.15 here

 

I remember about 10 years ago gas going as low as 25 cents.

 

right around 2.02-2.08/ gal for 91 octane (premium) here...hasn't been this low in my area since 2000-2001 IIRC.

 

Shell 93 Oct. is still in the $2.30 range around here. That was last week, so it may have dropped slightly.

 

Summer of '99 I was buying gas at $0.99/gallon for regular unleaded.

I remember, because I was driving 50 miles each way to an internship in my final year of college, and I was driving a '73 Dodge.
And half those miles were through some steep mountain passes.




I was filling the tank up every day.

 

I drove from St. Louis to Kansas City yesterday and some Quik Trip stations just east of KC on I-70 were $1.35 for regular unleaded.
When I got home in South KC, I filled up at a nearby QT and paid $1.39.9 for regular unleaded.
I'm a traveling salesman and if you'd like to see how much gas has dropped, look here. http://www.fuelly.com/driver/dancon5...ger/log/page/1. This goes back to April 12.

 

Im paying $1.87 for premium here. Regular is like $1.30 some Im not sure. I hope it keeps getting cheaper to fill up!

 

$1.85 right now in GA from Shell that I always go and it was $4.85 2 months ago.

 

$1.48 down here! (Regular: $1.17).

 

1.89 for premium at the BP down the road

 

I just filled the tank for $1.79

 

still 2.13 here but i am happy with that.

 

Not too many people use 91/93, so they don't make it (or replace it) as often. I think that's why it can be as much as $0.40 higher than regular 87 at times -- especially when they lower the price on 87 2x per week. Still, finding 91/93 at less than $2.00 seems to be a good deal.

Let's see how long this lasts, now that OPEC will starting to cut back on production.

 

down to $1.95 here in LA for 91...been filin up on 91 only and the car runs great!!

 

Wholesale prices are jumping up this week...I still bought premium for 1.75 at a local Exxon, back into the 1.90's at other places. Time to keep the tank full.
