Remember when we told you earlier this month that a gas station in Oklahoma City had lowered its price for regular unleaded to $1.99 a gallon?
Well, now that trend is nationwide: GasBuddy.com, which monitors prices across the country, says the $1.99 sign is up over pumps in 24 states. The national average is at $2.43 a gallon, but at one filling station in Springfield, Mo., it was only $1.93.
Still almost 3 bucks in northwest nevada. Thanks a whole f’n lot, California
I am still paying effin’ $3.499/gal for diesel in NW PA... and the damned refinery where they make it is 1 mile down the street.
Still over $2.20 in TX.
Doubtful prices will come down. They know people will pay the already inflated food and consumer prices so they'll keep them high and go higher. Example the price of beef. Prices should have gone down due to ranchers having to practically give away their herds during the drought but prices increased. Prices rose, as they should, while ranchers were restocking after the drought. Now that herds are back where they were before the drought, prices are skyrocketing.
It’s down to $1.89 a gallon now ... in Tulsa.
I’m in Texas.
They’re already talking US$2.29/US gallon for regular unleaded in Sacramento, CA by Christmas Day. Dirt-cheap consider California’s unique formulation for gasoline.
California can look for price increases Jan 1. cap and trade goes into effect, thanks to Gov. Arnold..Shriver, it will go to 79 cents more a gallon, in increments...
May I ask where approx. was that Conoco?
It was 17 cents when I was in school. I remember swearing I’d never pay 32 cents. Never say never.
Your area has more competitive prices. A gasbuddy.com post half an hour ago shows the nearest to me is still at $2.23.
Still better than $4 a gallon.
Statist handwringing continues as peons spew evil carbon coast to coast...
If they did Cap N Tax nationally it might have been a successful fakeout as the govt planned to blame all the price increases on greedy oil companies and utilities.
But having it only in California, the folks may look across the state borders and wonder....
