I heard that gasoline has dropped below $2 in places in the mid-west. My station was $2.24 this morning. How's it going where you are?

Man I wish it were like that here. $2.89 yesterday. It just started down from $2.99 last Wed. I wouldn't say the local stations are ripping us off but...
Last Thurs I took dogs to vet. Leaving town $2.99. Destination 13 miles down road $2.79. Checked with desk. They had dropped 20 cents beginning on Wed. Locals (Colfax, Wa. took until Sat morning to drop a whopping 4 cents from 2.99 to 2.95. Remained at that until yesterday when it came down to the 2.89. That is still 10 cents higher than what it was almost a week ago 13 miles down the road. I have a letter in to the local weekly rag. Comes out tomorrow. I hope that letter is in it.

My oil dealer quoted me $2.59 retail on monday. They are offering $2.49 price protection for the rest of the winter for $50. The dealer said he thinks oil is going down. It would be a lot easier to figure out what to do about energy if the price was more stable. I figure if I got a prius gas would drop to $1.25.

You wrote a letter telling of the gas prices? What's great about capitalism is you are given the choice of what gas station you decide to buy your gas from.

I'd buy a prius and park it if that would work! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
(Hey it used to work with snow tires and snow blowers. Anytime someone in the family ponied up for new - it didn't snow that winter!)

Reply to the thread in general.
The general class of "enviro's" and "anti's" are at fault, IMO.
They stop oil drilling off shore, on shore, stop refineries, throw up roadblock after roadblock, and then turn around and blame the oil companies for the high prices. I think we should start blaming those who are directly responsible. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Oil companies, IMO, will compete with each other for the sales of their products. When one can sell it cheaper, they will, and the others will follow. When the demand increases and they can't supply the product, the price goes up.
So, when we decrease our demand, the price will go down. I am happy that we can get it when we want it.
And I'd rather see stations selling at different prices, as then I would figure they were being more honest and NOT price fixing. Bothers me when all the stations in town (3 in ours) all change up or down at exactly the same time. Our state has the highest tax per gallon, and we are cheaper per gallon than other states to the East. Minnesota and Iowa to the West are cheaper per gallon by about 12-15 cents, usually.
