ChiefsPlanet - Gasoline at $4 Coming to a Pump Near You, Unfazed by Rising Tab

The pattern I've noticed is that it seems to be around $3.85 when I'm out of gas, drops about $0.25 when I have half a tank, and goes back up to $3.85 when I'm out again. :grr:

Do you mean as the national average?

If the economy goes deep enough in the shitter it could. At the height of the recession it got down around $2.00 a gallon in Suburban Chicago.

Yes, both to the national average and the price of the pumps around here.

Filled my tank with mid-grade at $3.36 here in Orlando a couple days ago. I want to say the lowest octane was $3.19. Not too shabby these days.

Okay, just wondering because it has dropped below 3 in some places.

Damn, gas in Chicago must suck all around.

When that happened in Ohio, I saw prices drop to just under 1.30.

heh, i said this same thing probably in this thread around Sept of 2008 when it was around $4.00. 3 or 4 months later around the Holidays, i remember getting it for around $1.30 or $1.40 a gallon.

I'm hoping to eat crow on this one, I really am. Yet I'm skeptical that OPEC will cut production and we'll never see below that $3 mark again.

I'd be surprised if they don't cut production soon.

I doubt crude falls below $70.

It's all relative, I guess. We're so used to getting raped up here that $2.00 felt like they were giving it away. Filing up your car for under $40 in Chicago is like ****ing the prom queen. :D
