View Full Version : Gas prices dropping... Sorta!!
DjD Jun 25th, 04, 02:31 PM I can only speak for my neighborhood but all the stations that have been $2.17 - $2.19 for 87 have all dropped to $2.13 or less over the last day or two... The "Sorta" in the title though is all the credit card stations that were $2.27 have only dropped to $2.25 for 87. We've all but quit using our cards during this time of high prices and when I drive by these stations they never have anyone at the pumps. The lower price cash stations always have a few minute wait, you would think the higher priced stations would notice the volume difference in sales! Maybe they do and figure folks are not driving as much and figure all gas stations are not selling as much... graemlins/clonk.gif
Anyone else see the drop too?
Jonesy Jun 25th, 04, 02:40 PM We are at $1.82 for 87 octane after topping out at $2.07
MrDanB Jun 25th, 04, 02:45 PM Anywhere from 1.99 (Arco am/pm) to 2.20 (Texa-shell)for 87 here in Seattle and vicinity...

camcojb Jun 25th, 04, 02:59 PM The local stations are still at $2.24 for 87. No change for a long time. Surprises me that your gas is cheaper down there.

ZZ430DropTop67RS Jun 25th, 04, 03:38 PM Went down this week to $1.81 for 85 octane, and $2.06 for 91.
(Lower ratings for altitude)
Rich69RS/SS Jun 25th, 04, 03:49 PM In my neck of the woods (High Desert) the Circle K slashed the price from $2.35 to $2.33 !!
Joekool1234567 Jun 25th, 04, 04:01 PM Gas is cheaper in San Jose, where I work in Morgan Hill most are still at 2.20 or there abouts. My work, Unical 76 we are at 2.23 rightnow but it is susposed to go down some more.
zuma Jun 25th, 04, 04:05 PM 2.29 up here in town, but 2.35 in SF... graemlins/sad.gif
Joe Harrison Jun 25th, 04, 06:27 PM Just filled up the Expedition today for 1.66 Gal for 87. Loading up the family and going to the lake to spend the day on the party bardge.
These high gas prices suck and I was lucky to find gas cheap. I was about 30 mils away from home when I saw this price. Around my house in town it's 1.83 gal for 87.
Vintage 68 Jun 25th, 04, 09:25 PM News Flash - Gas is under $2.oo gallon again in California...
No really - I paid $1.99 in Brentwood yesterday graemlins/hurray.gif
novaderrik Jun 25th, 04, 09:39 PM hmm... gas suddenly got cheaper here last weekend. here, it's $1.73 for 87 octane, but 5 miles south of here it's $1.67ish- and 10 miles north (along I94 where it's always a good nickel more per gallon) it's right around $1.80.
you know, i'm starting to think that maybe the oil companies were testing the waters by raising gas prices so high- you know, to kind of find out how the population would respond to the higher prices and prepare us for the inevitable surge in oil prices that will happen the next time something "big" happens that makes them "have" to raise prices- like July 4th weekend unexpectedly sneaking up on everybody out of nowhere.. altho, they did lower the prices around here for memorial day weekend...
trentonZ28 Jun 26th, 04, 02:22 AM $1.70 a gallon here in southwestern Ohio right now. It had dropped to $1.61 last week and then inched back up to the present price.
ORENCH Jun 26th, 04, 02:38 AM Filled this week, with the cheapest regular, at 42¢/Lt.=$1.59/gal.

I'll trade you your "high prices"! I know it's all relative, but you're 60 cents a gallon cheaper than us! I would love to be paying that much. I'd save about $800. per month on my gas bill!

click Jun 26th, 04, 05:29 AM $1.74 here today for 87 octane... now its less the gas would be if adjusted for inflation since 1965.

MangeMD Jun 26th, 04, 03:01 PM $1.67 on the border of WV/KY. 1 mile away from that it's $1.84, and in my town (5 miles from that) its $1.93.
KRhat Jun 26th, 04, 04:28 PM Last week regular was $1.66 at Speedway. It took a couple weeks to get down there. Now, overnight, it jumped back to $1.99. I guess we should feel lucky (@#$%) cause it was up to $2.16 a little while ago. Gota wonder what's going on when it is so predictable. Kevin
