Here’s why gas could drop below $3

Channel 3000 News/CNN ^ | December 6, 2023 | CNN Staff

[Alas Babylon!]

$2.71-$2.89 in my part of Alabama. $2.65 at Sam’s Club in Montgomery, @.69 at Buc-ees in Auburn.

[LibertyWoman]

oh wow!

[Tijeras_Slim]

She’d love it to be over $5.

[SaveFerris]

(it’s an Election Year)

Yep, coming up.

It was $2.67.9 here in the Midwest when I filled up last night.

[FlatulusMaximus]

Yep. Just fell to $2.999/gal. here in my little corner of KY. (Actually, I saw $2.89 last week, when we were traveling to another area of the state.)

[Chode]

or people are driving less?

i still remember when “thrills are cheap as gas and gas as cheap as thrills...”

[Bullish]

I filled my car up today and it’s around $25 cheaper for a tank from what it was last year at this time.

Election year manipulation for sure.

So, go buy some beef, some canned goods, a house or a car. How’s that working for you?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We noticed it down to $3.09 in SW Wisconsin when we were out and about today.

“Useful idea. Perhaps better if one fills up on the same day of the week at the cheapest on that day- for a better ‘average’.”

If you have a choice then, of course. I’ve lived ‘rural’ for so long that one gas station to use is all I’ve had for a very long time. :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Yep. The price of gas is probably the LEAST of most peoples worries these days. :(

Worrying about the advancing ‘Full Frontal Communism’ is higher up on the Worry List for me. ;)

[AFB-XYZ]

It hit $2.99 in the Saginaw Bay area last week (Thanksgiving weekend). Now back to $3.29 Supply and demand.

$2.99/gal. for no-ethanol here, and $2.56/gal. for E-10.

Not going to complain (much), but I still remember that it was a LOT cheaper under Pres. Trump. Would be great to get that back -- both price, and President.

Agree and suspect gas prices will continue to come down the closer we get to Election day ....or month or whatever Dems want it to be. Gee, see what a good job Joe is doing...NOT!

[Sawdring]

Gas is $2.89 in my neck of Minnesota.

[38special]

It’s already around two fiddy per gallon around these parts...

[Rinnwald]

Place a forty cent climate change tax on fuel like they did here in WA.

Since it's not a direct tax, but voodoo carbon credits, it's hard to tell. A state gas auditor turned whistleblower thinks it's more like fifty cents.
