Gas?
Posted on 08/09/2011 9:04:29 PM PDT by djf
Oil is down almost $20 a barrel in the last two weeks.
Is the gas price falling for anyone here?
I filled up about ten days ago for $3.79 a gallon and just filled up again for $3.79 a gallon and I was a little fried about it...
SB, from my calculations, about $3.20 a gallon.
What say you, FReepers?

Not falling in Maryland either. I just paid $3.75/gal at an Exxon today.

I was considering putting ten or twenty gallons in my shed, a just-in-case kinda thing, but DAYUM!!!
Get you coming or going, no?
Jeesh already.
Meanwhile, the bankers and guys at the oil companies still get their bonuses...

What say you, FReepers? Price of gasoline in our area has been on a steady decline the last 3 weeks.

Gold is at One Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($1700.00) an ounce. Obama Dollar is worth about 75% of what it was two years ago.
Ergo: Gasoline is now around $3.50 per gal.
See math made easy.
Thanks Barry.

The price of oil per barrel doesn’t have much to do with the price of gasoline at the pump.

My bet is that they will raise the feceral fuels tax, so it won't make any difference right away. THen when the market recovers, the oil companies will get blamed for 'gouging'.
The gas under the stations was refined long before any oil priced at today's prices will get down the pipeline.

It’s been down about $.10 where I get gas here in SC. I could probably pay a bit less, but I get the ethanol-free stuff. The extra mileage is more than worth the little bit extra.

prices won’t go down til the cheaper gas is delivered.

A 50 lb bag of feed costing me $13 two years ago now costs $44.
A box of millet that cost $45 the costs $67 now.
A bag of dried fruit that cost $17 last year now costs $23.
Inflation on people food is just as dismal.

Takes a few weeks to get through the refineries. We’re talking about crude oil prices, much of it from halfway around the world.

Fueled up in PHX today for $3.19; so we’ve seen some lowering of late.

I got a little 4-banger Nissan Sentra that does way better on the real gas stuff too, but finding a pump around here without ethanol, not so easy...

Where I live, the gas prices have fallen about 20 cents in one week. In face, the gas station near my house went down a nickel in the last 4 hours. It’s now 3.41 at that station.

Still about $4.29 in NY.
It will take a month or so of lower oil prices, the price per barrel is oil futures - 30, 60, 90 dys out
