Price of Gas?

[Αzerin]

So, there was a thread for this a bit back. With the economy as unstable as it has been and going bad, I just wondered what amounts everyone has been looking at now. Have your prices risen lately? Are they the same? Have they been going up and down?

For me (I live in the south, just to say), when the economic trouble w/ housing etc. was first announced, my prices shot up from the $3.60-.70 range up to $4.00+. I noticed that they dropped slowly after staying that high for a short while. I came from town recently and the price was down to $3.15--a price that hasn't been seen in some time. How has things been for you?

Feel free to also state any other price changes you have seen, if you wish. (Groceries, and so on.)

I dunno the exact numbers, but the gas prices have dropped in my area.
It's definitely going to rise again, though. The overall price of gas is never going to go down.

$2.80 a gallon; or somewhere around there.
At least it went down a little. :<

 

[Trimms]

Here, from $4.00 to $2.88 in a week. Holy shit.

I live in Michigan, near Detroit.

Gas where I am was around 3.70 a gallon last month. Then all of a sudden it slowly went down by a dime or so every 4 days. Lowest I saw was up the street. 2.75 a gallon. Filled up three five gallon canisters and filled car tank up.

Also, Milk. Damn thing went up 35 cents in two weeks time here :/

Gas went down tremendously. My father says it's because summer is over, so the overall demand for gas has lowered. Thus, the better prices.

That and the elections, eventually they will go up moderately, but you are right with winter rolling around the price will decrease to some extent.

I was watching the news at like 5:00 am (i have to catch the bus to school VERY early) and the anchor said this:
Anchor: The price of oil has gone down to $110 a barrel...
Me: *turns around so fast i almost get whiplash* WHAT?! DD
Anchor: ...in China.
Me: NUUUUUU!!!! DD: (stupid U.S.)

 

[Ren]

Just checked. $3.50 over here.
I hate the people who think that drilling in the US is going to alleviate the problem.
I'm waiting for the plug-in cars in 2010.

Whose states are lowering speed limits?

Whose states are lowering speed limits?

My dad heard something about them doing that around my area on the news. :/ Some speeds here are rather stupid. Like a 45 mph limit for a street with a school on it :/

 

[Αzerin]

Whose states are lowering speed limits?

I don't watch the news or anything, but I haven't even heard anyone speak of anything of this sort. So maybe no for here? I see like no one following the speeds here, anyway. Someone flew past us and another car going over 80 in a 50 or so speed zone. Me and mom have seen lots of near wrecks cause of stuff like that. *shrugs*

What's reason are they giving for that anyway? just wondering.

 

[Stavvy]

Isn't the price of a barrel of oil like. . .less than $80 now?

Shouldn't gas be like. . .$2.00, or better yet, $1.50?

It's $2.88 here (an hour south of St. Louis Missouri).

 

[Pelafina]

People in Europe have it a lot worse then Americans do, to be honest. It runs somewhere around seven dollars a gallon in some places.

 

[Duo_forbidden]

It went down where I live as well. It went down by around 20 to 30 cent. The prices are like $2.50 at the lowest $2.65 the highest. I was thinking "WTF?!"

 

[SiiNz]

Doesn't hurt me cause I don't drive. Lol :3.
But it hurts my brother, shit, it's going up like whatt.

 

[Αzerin]

It's taken me like two days to post this. Anyway, my mom's been excited. Gas dropped 16 cents in a day. The day after i made this thread i was riding in town, and even now, gas at every station is still $2.99. Nice.

 

[Stavvy]

Lol, your mother was exited after two days? That's a long bedding session. . .

 

[Αzerin]

Lol, your mother was exited after two days? That's a long bedding session. . .

Lol, yea, I hope it was good and keeps her in a happy mood for a while. It'd be nice, and maybe I can get her to buy me shizz at the store<.<

Lol, no really, I made a typo, and I do have a weird way with words.
Anyway... .-.

Holy shit. That's the speed for like, city streets for me.
If that was the speed limit for schools around here, everyone would be dead. It's only 25mph, and 20 when there are students walking around.

I think my state's changing the speed limit for freeways from 60 to 55mph.

Good thing it went down to 3.27 a gallon.
