Went on a nice little 300 mile ride today.

In Jonesboro, Louisiana, at the intersection of LA Hwy 4 and US 167 there were two gas stations with Regular 87 Octane for $2.05.9 per gallon.

25 miles down the road the price was $2.39.9 per gallon

I just wonder if we will see gas for under $2.00 again.

There was a story on the news lat night about a "gas war" at an interesection in DeKalb Co ( east Metro Atlanta). It go down to $149 or so, and one station ran out. The other raised it to $179, and they still ran out. The best price I have seen around Acworth (Northwest Metro Atlanta)is $2.29.

Everything I have read and/or heard is that gas will drop to NO LOWER than $2.00 a gallon.
It's around $2.40 a gallon here right now.

But if we have a "cold" winter, see what happens... :roll:

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see the national information.

Around Indy 2.25 seems to be the price. I saw 2.23.

I use that one as well. The only problem is that they rely on input from the public.

If you don't have a geek with a car that can check the prices and post them, you're out of luck.

Fortunately, I am surrounded by geeks with cars. I get really good current information for my area from the gasbuddy site.

There are many stations at $1.99 in the northern suburbs. The average is around $2.10 here in Cincinnati. According to the local news the national average is $2.53.

We just came back from the Smokies and the range was $2.20-$2.50 for the local low price.

I went out to the HD Dealership in Plainfield to pick up a part for my old Shovelhead....imagine that.....and saw a Speedway station that had gas for $2.01. Everthing else around was about $2.17 that I saw the rest of the day. Had to be some sort of gimmick or special thing. I didn't see a radio station or anything. There was construction and I was preparing to weave in and out of the cones...LOL... Ken

I filledup for 2.19 at Chevron Friday in Atlanta area. I say $ 1.65 within 2 months.

We are still in the 2.60-2.70s up here in the great Pacific Northwest.

When I figure gas prices, I try to deduct the amount of federal, state, and local taxes from the computing. Depending on where you live, this could be as much as 50 cents (or more) per gallon.

Which makes me wonder... Why is it bad for the oil companies to make a profit, and why is it good for the Government to make a profit.

One thing the Government could do to alleviate gas prices is to pass a law that reduces the taxes whenever prices rise above a certain level.

Yeah... let's hold our breathes waiting for that one.

I paid $2.19 at a rest stop on the Ohio Turnpike. Locally, we're at $2.49, but dropping. An Ohioan said that in the northern counties it was running $2.03. I guess that we have hope. Like hope it drops before they salt the roads.

We still pay a whole lot less than most other countries. I just spent 3 weeks in Canada, at just over $4.01 per gallon (after converting both dollars and liters). Used to live in Germany - Canada is cheap by comparison.

TJ: Here in Nevada, they passed a law years ago that says that if the Feds lower the gas taxes, the state taxes automatically rise by the same amount.

We're still paying ~$2.70 a gallon for regular here. I expect the national average price to jump back over $3.00 a gallon after the November elections.
