i was wonderin what you guys are payin right now. here the last few weeks in the montgomery alabama area its been on a steady drop and as it stands we're paying $3.44 a gallon for 87. still expensive as hell but its the biggest drop we've seen in months.

$3.87 down at the local fast trac.I can't wait untill it gets to a $1.20 again.......lmao:huh

if gas went to $1.20 which wont happen i'm sure people would be buying as muh as they could but gas only has a certain self life so buying a bunch of gas you cant use within that shelf life wouldnt work out so good. Anyone ever see how some gas stations were letting people buy huge amounts of gas like 5 or 10 years ago for the current price it was when they bought it? Like it wasnt a separate tank for them they just got to pay that amount anytime in the future they filled up until they ran out of the number of gallons bought at that price. They interviewed a few people and the 1 i remember bought so many gallons at like $1.75 a gallon or something like that and they are still filling up for that price today!!! a gas station down here in florida somehow when they were changing the price of gas they forgot a number so people were getting gas for 34 cents a gallon!!! and the gas station didnt realize it until a couple hours later! it was on the news.

$3.55 :D

If it can go to the $2.50 range, id be happy.

And to foxhonda, yeah, people will use it more, but the damage is done. Many people bought econo-boxes for gas mileage, so they drive them now. It's not like they're gonna put them up for sale again.

Maybe not my dad can stop driving his commuter car as much and afford to drive the 10mpg beast, hahaha.

It will go up after election time more than likely.


Diesel was down to $4.75 in my area, sorry I find it hard to get excited about that.

oh yea theres no doubt in my mind that it will sky rocket again, but its just been an enjoyment of mine the last week seeing how much it has dropped. hell thats the most its dropped in quite some time.

at the beginning of last summer i remember it being $2.39 a gallon for 87 here in wetumpka, alabama. would be great if it would go back to that.

It will keep going down. Gas prices are always higher in the summer and lower in the winter. It has nothing to do with the elections, they claim there are more additives or something like that in the summer fuel thats why it goes up.

$3.72 here. I'd like to see it go down more but i've been hearing this isnt gonna last long and it'll be expensive as hell again before we know it. Just what i've heard though.

Actually, if you ever listen to talk radio and such on Sirius radio, gas is expected to go down yet another $.30 in the next couple weeks.

It's going to keep coming down, and even if it does start to go up, it won't be very much more.

i wish i could afford Sirius lol

i really hope it gets down under the 3 dollar mark and stabilizes. if it drops another $0.30 like you guys are saying that'll have us close to under 3 here.

going down to 2.50 makes almost 90% of the country happy, but still think about it, thats still really expensive. It needs to go back down to the way it used to be, 1.50-1.75

3.79 here but im guessing that it will go back up since a major petroleum line was shut down in Georgia ( i think it was in Georgia) b/c of Russia attacking Georgia.
