Crude closed at $87.81, down 6.47%

LMAO That is one of the funniest exchanges I've ever seen on this site. ROFL

Lowest in Topeka is $2.87

$2.84 here.

Screw $60 I want to see rigs going up everywhere they can pump a gallon out and watch the Saudi's et al. eat sand for their breakfast in a few years. :thumb::evil:

Damn. We are still at $3.04 which shocked me here.

3.15 yesterday don't know if it lowered today

Not at 6:00, by K-10 and Woodland in Lenexa where it was 2.99

3.39 here...

$3.42 national retail average.

$2.69 in Topeka.

Holy sh*t.

Donger, do you know how they calculate the national average in terms of octane? I mean, "normal" gas out here is only 85 octane, where 87 is the norm pretty much everywhere else. So does our price for 85 go into the equation or 87?

Got us beat. It was $2.79 on the way home from work.

The national retail average that I post is based on the average lowest octane rating regionally. So, 85 goes into the equation for us.

Granted, that is the lowest available price, only 2 stations in town have that price.

I hate Little Station.

WHERE!?:eek: 3 bucks is the cheapest I have seen.

Still too high.

6th and Clay, 6th and Lane.

$2.77 Here in Edmond... 33rd and Sante Fe

2.79 in lees summit

just saw 2.95 on the way home in Wichita... soon enough I'll be able to fill the wife's car without breaking $50.

wooho.... erm, yeah. still too ****ing much after paying 1.25 for the longest time. I remember a day when I filled up my motorcycle for $3 and my car for $12.

Now to fill up the bike its $12 and to fill up the car it is $48.

*sigh*

$2.89 in Northtown today.

I took a picture of gas at 2.99 last night in Overland Park. It was amazing.

How ****ed up is it that we've been conditioned to think $3.00/gallon gas is cheap? :shake:

Just depends on which way you look at it.

Gas is 3 times as much in other countries. I think we have it pretty good. In reality, the gas price adjusted to how much your money is worth is pretty similar to what it was in the 70's.

My Astrovan has a 27 gallon tank. I have put $100 worth of gas in it.

A lot of pumps are out of gas here, a lot of the places only have reugular.

YEP. I hate it.

2.89 in Council Bluffs and falling. I must say, it is kinda nice to see a 2.something rather than a 3.something, but it's still too damn high. From what I understand, oil and gas are taking a tumble because of the impending economic Apocalypse we are apparently about to experience. Oh, the irony...

$2.76 a gallon and stiiiiiiiiiiiiiill falling.

Ten years ago, did you ever think there would come a day when you would be thrilled to see gas at $2.76/gallon?

:shake:

It was about 10 years ago when I last saw gas for under $1.00 a gallon. I was in Jefferson City, and even at the time it was unusual enough that I took a photo of the sign. I think I still have it somewhere.

I was working at a convenience store 11-12 years ago. I remember the first time gas ever went up over a dollar per gallon. People were freaking out...lol.

Gas in Columbus Ohio this morning was $3.17 a gallon.

I'm still waiting on to see gas below $3 here in Hiawatha KS, was 3.23 yesterday. Yet I can drive to St. Joe MO about 40 miles and see it below $3 dollars. I know KS has a little higher taxes than MO, just by a few cents. How can this gouging be justified?

I just wanted to have the 1000th post on this thread. Carry on.

$3.14 here in north columbus, radio said in a couple of places, it was actually below $3 a a gallon

$3.37 national retail average.

I just filled up at $2.71/gallon yesterday here in Topeka.

My summer prediction of steadily falling gas prices leading up to the election has come to fruition. We'll see if they shoot back up in November.

2.94 on the way to work today, in OP.

let them continue to kill demand.

i fear that if it gets too low, people will revert to old habits thus renewing demand. i say f em. ill keep carpooling and driving less and ill just take my savings and put it towards other stuff...like the CC bills racked up paying for high gas...

That is the danger, of course. Remember paying $4.00 folks.

Yeah. I've changed my habits, and I'll enjoy the lower prices, but I'm not going back to the way it was before. We got em where we want em, can't let off now!!

This is stunning news:

U.S. crude inventories jumped by 8.1 million barrels last week while gasoline stocks surged 7.2 million barrels, the Energy Information Administration said in its weekly inventory report. Both increases far exceeded expectations. Analysts surveyed by energy research firm Platts had expected a 1 million barrel drop in crude supplies and a 2 million barrel build in gasoline stocks.

I still strongly believe that it's all going down due to the elections.

:spock:

Heh. I suppose I know what spam looks like now.

Noticed E85 hasn't gone down with the other gas prices. FUQTARDS.

Why would it?

No shit

I knew Springfield was below the National Average, but I didn't know Springfield was that below the average. Filled up on $2.69/Gal here today.

$3.31 today. Nice $0.06 drop in one day. Crude closed at $86.59, down 2.65%

You just wait. I have no doubts that it may go back up after the elections are over with.

My wife sadi she filled up for $2.62 a gallon in Ozark today. It was at a Walmart/Murphys, so she got the extra 3 cents off to make it $2.59. I can't remember the last time I paid that price, but it has been a while.

You mean in the spring? It always does that, because demand increases. Last winter was the first that I remember when gasoline simply did not drop.

Because it's a complete ****ing ripoff if it isn't cheap enough to make up for the lower gas mileage?

Since it's mostly Ethanol, I don't see why it would drop when gasoline does. Maybe I missed something.

Crude plummeting right now. Down to $81.90.

Oh noes, terrorist nations are making less money off of our dependence on their oil!!!

I'm loving this.

E85 gas mileage sucks compared to regular gasoline. You know that. In order for it to be a commercially viable alternative to gasoline, it has to be sold for a substantially lower price. Again, I'm sure you know that. Otherwise, nobody but a straight up fool would buy it.

I'm really hoping that when the election is over you'll stop being so needlessly obtuse and combative about EVERYTHING. :shake:

I apparently completely missed ptylon's sarcasm.

How much were prices per barrel when gasoline was $1.50 a gallon?

About $35.00

$2.69 a gallon and stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill falling.

It's a complete ****ing ripoff anyway.

fuck me. Crude now at $77.75. Down 10.21%

I had to gt gas yesterday, so I just put in $20. That put me up to half a tank. Glad I didn't fill it completely up. It went down from $2.69 yesterday to $2.63 today.

Yep, just got gas in blue springs....

What is causing this, me losing 3 grand on my investments today

2.59 in Topeka.

So - is this good or bad?

Hard to say. Our demand reduction is a large part of it, but is that a reduction a result of us slipping into recession?

Chicken, egg.

I still believe that crude was vastly over-valued above $100, though.

Not nobody. It's also 100+ octane. If you compare it to the cost of 104 octane unleaded gasoline, its a way better value despite the reduced gas mileage.

I pick up over 75 horsepower by running an extra 6psi boost on E-85. It's a great product for the forced induction folks. I hope it stays around.

I understand what you're saying about commercial viability as 99.9% of people don't care about the octane. But for apples to apples, it's fair to compare the price to 104 octane gasoline.

Between heading back to work from lunch and getting off of work this evening, we dropped from $2.63 to $2.59.

I sincerely hope that I never have to answer the "Hey, Donger!!!? How come prices never fall as fast as they go up!?" question again.

Where do you think it will bottom out?
