Its amazing what we'll settle for.

A little more than a year and a half ago we all were bitchin' about gas being a
buck seventy something.Hell I can remember Joe's on the Fall Riv/Tiverton line having gas for around a 1.40-1.50 a few times.

All the big wigs were in front of the senate today. They were trying to dafend themselves for having record profits in the third quarter of this year.

Gas station in Medford is selling at .99 a gal. The city has been doing road work in front of his stationand were preventing customers from getting in, so he decided to drop his price to draw in the crowds. From what I saw on the news he had so many cars waiting to get in the road crew could not work . Think the city threaten to shut him down for causing a road hazard.

Nebe · 11-09-2005, 07:39 PM

its bush's... oh never mind.

i believe it droped so quickly because the refineries were down which made a large surplus of oil. now the refineries are back up and pumping out product. They'll go up again

spence · 11-09-2005, 07:44 PM

It probably dropped so quickly for a few reasons.

1) Speculation that the hurricanes would do tremendous damage to the refinery and distribution infrastructure caused it to spike, but damage was less than expected.

2) The oil industry realized it had a massive PR problem and worked prices down quickly so as to avert political disaster.

hunan · 11-10-2005, 09:47 AM

people tend to stay home more in the winter so gas goes down and home heating oil goes up.

Not to get everyone sick but , Have you seen the price of food at your local supermarket !!!!!! ouch

JohnR · 11-10-2005, 10:00 AM

I almost got under $50 for a full tank yesterday at Hess, Airport Rd, Warwick... $2.15 per gallon. My problem is that I fill up every 4-5 days...

Diamond Tackle · 11-10-2005, 10:02 AM

Ronnie, Im 45 I was just thinking I remember about .57cents a gal. Back then a penny or 2 was a big deal.Drove my first station wagon that got about 8 mpg .
Lowest I've see here in nj is $2.14, but there is a stretch on rt 9 south of here that always has the LOWEST prices in nj,and sometimes the east coast by approx 20 cents/gal. There are 2 gas stations on every single block for what seems like a 10 mile stretch. ill have to check there, as someone may very well have broken the $2 barrier already. I reallly think we may see $1.89 again, one can only hope.

Steve K · 11-10-2005, 10:29 AM

Paid $2.099 this morning in MA.

$2.19 in Clinton, MA 30 minutes ago.

TheRattBoy · 11-10-2005, 07:25 PM

2.29 - 2.49 in Hudson today...

Karl F · 11-10-2005, 07:37 PM

the fluctuations is what frosts my cookies... 2.46,2.49 Eastham/Orleans... 2.22, 2.25 Chatham/Harwich... what really burns me is Cumbys/Gulf, they are all owned by one company, not independent... 2.46 in Orleans, short ride over to Chatham, 2.25

3, 4 cents a gallon, I don't look twice, but 20 cents!, thats friggen gougin'.. was the same when it was up high, even worse, at one point there was a 30 cent spread between the 2... if I need a fill-up, 25-30 gallons, it's worth the trip, and time...

I remember when I worked pumping gas as a kid... when it hit 35 cents a gallon, people threw a freakin' fit... couple years later, it was 65-70 cents, and Pinto's and Vega's were all the rage....
ahhh Vega's.. real sleeper once ya stuffed a 350 under the hood

Squid kids Dad · 11-10-2005, 07:50 PM

Down to $2.03 today at Cumbys
