OT: Gas Prices

I saw that the gas prices in my neighborhood have dropped to $1.39. That's the lowest I can remember for a very VERY long time!

Where are you and what does your gas cost today?

I'm in Iowa and it's $1.39

Moosie, I am waiting for the price of AIR TRAVEL to drop! The costs have increased so much and they charge for everything now. Additional $25 for a suitcase, you even have to pay for the snacks now! I booked tickets online for a flight and got to another screen which told me I had to pay $11 per seat. That made me laugh - as if I had the choice to just stand in the aisle and not get a seat.

I'm waiting for them to put in pay toilets as well... I'm sure it's just because they haven't thought of it yet.

NOT complaining, though. I love that gas prices are going back to reasonable $$.

$1.56 in Northeast Michigan but we got a foot of snow yesterday and cold temperatures have been around for the last month so the heating bill will make up for the gas savings

It's 70 cents a litre here in Ontario which converts to $2.80 a US gallon...and that's as cheap as it has been here in a long long time.

Isn't it amazing how much it has dropped, Ann? To think we were paying a buck forty just this summer!

In Rhode Island, I'm paying $1.67 a gallon. That's the cheapest I've seen it in years!
I'm not holding my breath though.
It's only a matter of time...
The greedy b@stards will jack it back up again,
and we'll all get screwed again.
They just couldn't screw us on home heating oil and gas together.
No one would be able to pay for anything else and the entire economy would have collapsed. They almost caused that anyway! :thefinger

Shalom!

Gas is 1.62 here in NH, the cheapest heating oil price I've seen is 2.29. I heard a couple of days ago they are going to lower production of oil...and to expect a " startling increase in price. " Gee, thanks guys...and Happy Holidays????
