(WASHINGTON, December 29, 2014) Average gas prices in two states – Missouri ($1.93) and Oklahoma ($1.98) – have dropped below $2.00 per gallon for the first time since 2009. The national average has fallen 95 days in a row for a total of $1.06, and prices have plummeted $1.38 (nearly 40 percent) since the start of June. The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is $2.29 per gallon, and motorists are saving 11 cents per gallon compared to one week ago, 49 cents compared to one month ago and $1.02 per gallon compared to this same date last year. AAA estimates that drivers are saving more than $500 million per day each day compared to the highs in both the spring and summer.

Won’t happen here. Thank you, Tom Corbett! /s
I’ve paid below $2/gal. for the past two weeks in Indy. Some have it below $1.70.
Once they get people used to the new health care premiums and huge deductibles you will see the price of gas creep up, little by little, until they get it back to the $3.00 range.
Never been much of a conspiracy theorist, but I swear it looks more and more like all the powers-that-be are in cahoots to keep taking a high percentage of our wealth from us. A little from here, a little from there. Then, less from there and more from here. Etc., etc., etc.
$2.09 in Boyce, Virginia this morning. And if the state Gas Tax hadn’t gone up on January 1st, it would have been $2.04/gallon...
Stuart Varney, Fox News, says 7 states under $2.00. TX, OK, KS, MO, IN, MI, OH. (MO = $1.86 lowest av.)
I filled up at $1.69 yesterday in Herculaneum, Missouri, just south of St. Louis.
I wonder how long it will take for pigs in some state governments slap a big tax on the cheaper gas?
Lowest it got in my neck of the woods in KY was $1.79, then last Thursday it jumped back up to $2.19 overnight.
Herculaneum? Is that near Perot City Missouri?
$2.35 in west central Florida.
Oil has dropped by half. Here in MD prices at the pump have not.
$1.85 in Michigan, $1.69 in Toledo, $2.70 in PA and $2.25 in MD.
This is my personal survey while driving yesterday.
#1 shhh...
#7 you can bet he will take credit in the state of the union speech.
You cover a lot more ground than I do! I saw 1.65 a mile from my house... and 1.60 3 miles from my house :)
$1.86 in IL at my local Costco this morning.
My daughter lives in Toledo. She is quite vocal about the dollar-a-gallon cost difference when she comes home to PA. People living close enough to the state line can see it too. This is basically what killed Corbett.
