What are Gas prices now ?

Here's what it's like in my part of Texas.

Before Katrina Regular unleaded was $2.55 a gallon.

After Katrina it first went up to $2.79 couple days later it was at $2.89 then it reached its high of $3.09

Now it has dropped back down to $2.57. So here we are back to normal, pretty much. Infact it should be back normal for everyone soon since Wholesale gasoline prices on NYMEX are back down to $1.78. (Which I think is a tad lower than it was before Katrina.)

Looking better everyday.... for right now anyway

yea their going to put people in jail

Prices did go down, after the big spike. But was this a price increase to make you angry, then you are relieved to have the price drop, but it still ends up being $1 more per gallon than before the prices started to rise in the first place?

Troy

prepair for a nother rise

This past week or so i've seen gas in my area drop to about 2.75 for regular.

while this is much better than the 3.20+ recently, it's still pretty rough.

Prepare to 3.50-4.00 this week-end and maybe upper than this!

It's time to sell the hydrogens cars!!

Man...

In one town about 45 minutes North of me the price for gas is $2.00 per LITRE. That's about $7.50 per gallon.

I live in New Hampshire and the day after Katrina hit NO gas was at $3.50 a gallon...usually the prices are high at the highway exits here to get people to pay more..but even at the little corner gas station the prices were so high. I'd imagine if Rita does as much damage as predicted, especially to refining areas such as galveston, it could hit 4.50-5.00 dollars a gallon. My dad is the manager of an oil company here so they are keeping quite a close eye on the Rita. He recieves hourly updates and if he shares anything usefull/interesting I'll be sure to let everyone know.

It was $2.59 per gallon in Leesburg VA on the way home.

The same brand Liberty station near me was $2.65, but the clerks said
prices wil start going back up again tomorrow due to Hurricane Rita.

So what are the prices now?

Okay, according to CNN today, Crude prices are down by about 60 cents... so when do we see the price at the pump start to fall?

I doubt we'll ever see gasoline under $2 a gallon ever egain..

Yeah, in the US the price per liter is the least expansive in the world so don't complain please!

Here is a good link to find prices from stations in your area, state etc.

You can pick your city and find which stations in your area are cheaper etc.

$3 before Katrina, $2.77 after Rita. We need more hurricanes!

Today in Salt Lake City Utah......it cost me 2.72 per gallon for the lower grade regular.

Agreed (somewhat), however in the States, nothing is really convenient w/o driving. When I first arrived in Houston, Texas, going from one side of the greater metro area to the other may be as much as 70+mi(110+km) one way!

I personally commute 30+mi (48+km) one way to the office, heaven forbid a meeting across town mid day. The ‘mass/public” transportation infrastructure is fairly non-existent in the south and everything is built around ‘highways/freeways’. The gas is cheap, but most have little option but to burn a lot of fuel weekly.

I was reminded the other day of an old saying, “The people of the United States believe three-hundred years is a long time and Europeans believe three hundred miles is a long distance”.

Boohoo. Welcome to the reality that most of the west has to deal with everyday.

No offense to you personally I just find it amusing that even though USA is still paying the least amount of money per liter of gasoline then just about any western country and you guys are still complaining. Sorry but you won't get any sympathy from me until it hits $ 5+ like it is in Europe.
