I thought we were scared of it going UP to $2 back when this thread was created in 2006 too, but I just went back to page 1 and we were actually waiting to see if it would go DOWN then as well.  My post on page 1 said I was paying $2.41/gallon and now it's $2.09 here.  Interesting!

[gotrocks]

Its official now.  Oil has dropped below $50 a barrel.

  Dont mean to make you guys jealous. But here in ohio ive seen it as low as 1.69. Never in my life did i think i would ever see it that low again.

Last Tuesday I put $20 worth in my truck @ $2.01...I was all happy...until I drove down the street and saw gas for $1.98.  I was robbed of the joy of wallowing in subtwobuck gas. Until today...$1.90!!!!! $25 filled me up completely!!!














I love the free market!

2.11 today, man the economy is really taking a crap isn't it?

[KDXSR5]

$1.40 here. Finally getting back to the very very high end of what I remember being normal when I was younger.

[twistedtoy92]

i wonder how low its gonna go......??

[kneedownnate]

I'd expect it to bottom out soon, then rebound up a bit.  Cheapest I saw here was $1.85, but the cheapest quality gas I saw today was $2.03 for 76.  I know where I'm stopping tomorrow    I need to check the link and see who is listed as the cheapest here right now 

[46&2]

1.99!!

[blackdiamond]

$1.89 at the Shell, the 76 was $1.95 yesterday but might be lower today.

[kneedownnate]

Just saw $1.80 yesterday.  I'm STILL waiting for propane to fall accordingly, fawkin assholes 

[mudmaster]

[bigarms23]

[Rockcrawlintoy]

[BigMike]

So now the title of this thread is relevant

So does anyone know what the deal is? Why are prices dropping like this (I've been out of touch with reality for about 2 months)?

All I know is someone made a C R A P L O A D of money at $5/gallon

[85yotabox]

i dont know wats going on but its droping fast!  i drove into town yesterday and it was $2.13 going in in the morning and $2.05 going out that evening in Napa CA.

(I've been out of touch with reality for about 2 months)?

Are you sure only 2 months? 


$1.97 here in Santa Cruz.  finally

[BigMike]

Fresno, which in my opinion is usually pretty high for central cali, $1.77/gallon or $1.69/gal about 20 mins south of here.

[85yotabox]

not to be a joy kill but it sux that diesel is still $2.99 where regular is $2.05.  Specially because diesel is the left overs of what it takes to make gas.

[gotrocks]

The widest spread that I've seen so far is 1.99 for reg and 3.09 for diesel.  The only reason I can see why diesel is so high is because they haven't refilled their tanks and when they do the diesel should drop a bit.  It still is stupid and makes me really really mad that I'm still paying more than a dollar more than diesel but I have to remember that 3.09 is more than 2 dollars less than I was paying for diesel this summer.

[Rocksurfer]

$1.95 Gas

$2.05 Diesel

I think the reason that it is dropping so fast is that the world just found out how much they are actually connected to our economy. When our economy was booming so was theirs. Now that it has tanked and the housing market burst its bubble so went their economy.

[Yota-Freak]

1.70, pocatello idaho=)

[Rocksurfer]

Standing steady now, probably due to an approaching holiday.

Oh wait, that's not very nice of me.  You could have a gas power truck, but you had to have the torque.

well if you keep up on the stock market or the rest of the economy for that matter you will notice we are currently in a deep gutter.... 3 days of stock rallying now hopefully it keeps up and we are actually at the bottom finally....
