We were out in different parts of town today. The cheapest I saw was $2.02 and the highest was $2.19.

$1.94 in Ohio

[rwfromkansas]

$1.93 here.

I paid 1.919 this morning in Bethel, PA.

I paid $1.89 for 93 octane earlier this week. But that's because a bunch of Randalls' in the Houston area are closing down, and they were just dumping their inventory.

Those b*stards in Illinois and Wisconsin nicked me for $2.30 -$2.40 per gallon this past week.

Was happy as hell to get back to Iowa where it's "only" $1.94 today in Des Moines ($2.02 at the Quads).

All refineries are not on line yet, nor all wells.

And record numbers of used SUV's and large trucks are available on car lots. Not to mention the decline in sales of the new models.

Good.

$2.499 in Westchester, New York

$2.179 in Paramus, New Jersey

New York: We have a Lib state with Lib state taxes on gasoline that rise exponentially with the price of gas. The higher the market price of gas, the higher the tax on the gas. It's criminal. It's New York.

New Jersey has refineries. Look at the difference.

Is the Congress going to hold hearings when the oil companies profits dive in the last quarter of the year? Their (the oil companies) profits (for the third quarter) were driven by inventory cost plus profit vs replacement cost plus profit! Did not a number of oil platforms get damaged in the hurricanes? Yes! Were the companies supposed to take a loss or increase the price of gas to also cover the cost of repairs? I'm on the oil companies side here!

This is just another one of the oil industry's dirty tricks. They have lowered the price to fool us.

Likewise, $1.919 in NE OK.

As a Met fan, I use to like him.

I seem to remember a post right after Katrina in which someone predicted that we would never see sub $3.00 gasoline again in our lifetimes.

The hazards of making predictions based on emotion.
