Thumbs up Have you noticed that gas is getting cheaper?

Well, maybe not that much cheaper, but the Chevron near my house is now $2.89 (for '91). Its a lot better than the $3.29/gallon price that i paid a few weeks ago.

$2.93 for 91oct at the stations near where I live. And that's one of the cheapest I have seen so far. Can't believe gas is more expensive here than California

Prices have definitely dropped, it's all over the news (radio) this morning also about the sudden drop in gas prices. Funny thing about perspectives though... $2.75 is starting to look like a deal...

I liked it better when gas was 1.76 at the cheap stations. I'll take a drop in housing prices, too.

As long as the per-barrel price of light sweet crude keeps inching down, we should start seeing 91 for under $3.00 consistently. It's still 3.10+ @ every Chevron and 76 station I go to around the area.

At least the housing is already dropping a bit in my area up North. Houses in my neighborhood that were selling for $550k (average) are now below $500k. Too many people selling, not enough wealthy buyers!

Yep gas is much cheaper now that we went into Iraq and all of our past presidents from Nixon on helped China become a world industrial power thus creating a gas shortage.

2 dollars for premium. That sounds like a good price.
