CAMARILLO, Calif. - A national survey shows gas prices continue to decline, tumbling nearly 53 cents a gallon in the last two weeks.

The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline at self-serve stations was $2.78 Friday. Mid-grade was at $2.93 and premium was at $3.05.

That's according to the Lundberg Survey of 5,000 gas stations nationwide, released Sunday.

once we have BHO in the WhiteHouse, we can all breathe a sigh of relief as the price of gasoline starts to rise again and will probably reach $10.00 a gallon by the end of his presidency, plus a doubling or tripling of electric and natural gas rates.

$2.06 at Krogers in North Little Rock, AR. Use the Krogers card, and get .10 a gallon off, which brings it down to $1.96!

Gas has been dropping like a bomb here in Eugene. We have relatively high gas taxes, yet my local station is $2.29 today. If it continues apace they'll be in the high $1.xx by this time next week.

And just in time as we're taking a road trip next week.

Our market is served by refineries that pipeline to within 100 miles, and those refineries are major buyers of Canada oil. The East and South are probably paying more because of the Texas situation, but I don't imagine that'll be an issue much longer.

But we still need to drill. Here. Now.

Average price in WNY is still about $3.20/gal, which is around 20 cents higher than the State average.

(I didn’t realize so many big-oil barons lived around here ;)

Maybe this is on the horizon again (minus the plane crash, of course).
