View Full Version : gas under $3
In Montgomery Alabama I just saw gas for $2.93!!! Hopefully those prices are heading home to CO soon
I would hope so oil is $83 a barrel AND election time is coming

It does this every year, it goes down $.75-1.00 then goes back up 125%.

Just paid $4.15 in oregon--but they have this idiotic full service requirement
That would be nice if we had prices like that over here. Not sure what I would do with myself though lol I almost cream myself when I find gas $3.40 or under.

I just paid $2.999 for regular (86) in southern New Mexico. Just yesterday though it was $3.19 and the day before that it was $3.40
But...but...but the pundits said it'd be $5 by Summer [Rant2]

There was recently an OPEP report predicting that by 2020 the US will be the second oil producer after SA.... With Canada in the 3rd place. But for this to happen, the barrel need to remain over 80$. So: Relief at the pump = Yes. Low prices (under 2$) = probably not.
not me....I hope it hits $5 the last week of October into November.
Many people believe that gas prices are controlled by the "p"....I don't want "him" to get 1 vote because gas prices are down. Right after the election if they want to drop to $2, that'd be great
I also hope the stock market takes a nose dive around the same time, and bounces back 2 weeks later

Cheapest I found nearby was $3.44 at the U Pump It on Alameda & Parfet.
This makes me mad.
Okay, when crude was $145/barrel, I understand 85 octane should be $3.50/gal, but at $83/barrel?!?! I seriously believe this is NOT cause by excessive demand in area/region.

I know WY and CO has one of the lowest, but seems like they are higher than median. I think there is some kinda bottle neck effect going on near supply side in terms of refinery in CO. [Mad] [Rant1]

I know right. The lady at the shell I stopped lost her damn mind when I got out and pumped my own gas. She said she was going to call the cops if I did not stop.

Even when Colorado had the "cheapest" gas in the nation, I paid .20 less per gallon driving through Texas. All the way to San Antonio. And it was 87 octane. WTF.

Anybody else remember the poll "how much would you be willing to pay per gallon of gas to guarantee that Obama doesn't get re-elected?"

It seems as though gas prices are slower to rise and stays behind the national average, but conversely, when gas prices are falling around the country, the gas prices here stay constant or drop more slowly. I don't know why.
Yup, because we have 85, and other near sea level requires 87.
TX is one of the cheapest average.
(When I get bored, I goto major fuel website to find out prices with filter). haha
I think WY is usually top 3 chpeast for sure.

I think $2.50 is very possible, not because we wanted to be $2.50.
I think due to the economy and global demand, crude price will be lower for sure.
This isn't too good of a news, but I won't complain over $2.50/gal. [LOL]
