gas drops again

Everyone *****es so much about gas but still do nothing about it... Go to Mexico and get some ideas... Bikes, mopeds, and small size diesel pickups

Americans are too materialistic and don't have enough balls to organize and actually do something about it. It will never happen //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

if you fill up your 15 gallon tank once a week, and gas was 4 bucks a gallon, and now its 3 bucks a gallon, you are saving 60 bucks a month

what can you really do with 60 bucks? what is that, 720 dollars a year?

If gas were a dollar cheaper a gallon, I'd save damn near $2k a year...

saw 3.59 today... but that was 25 miles away. Its 3.70 here

gas went up here .03 a gallon since yesterday...from 3.60 to 3.63 at the place that was lowest...most local places are around 3.80 here still

Cheapest gas possible here atm is $3.98 down from $4.60ish just a couple weeks ago. We've been having a steady 3cent a day drop. One place I saw even dropped prices twice in one day... this makes me not hate my pickup so much right now lol

You'd think the billions of other countries it's happening in would give us a clue. How can we be so dumb //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Damn, I need to go back to school and get a refresher course on geography. I had no idea there were that many countries on earth. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

There are trillions, even.

Just a reminder that all oil companies made record profits last year.

It's illusion politics that keeps them profitable.

Sweet. If only I could convince even half of them to donate $1 to me.

I believe the numbers that are listed is GROSS income, not net. Don't know for sure though.

3 stations by my house were $3.75, the rest were all $4.10 or higher. I'm surprised those stations had ANY business. But those stations that were cheaper are all now between $3.85 and $4.05 now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
Makes you wonder what their cost REALLY is. I remember being at a presentation once at college where a gas station chain owner (Family express in indiana) said that they barely made any profit on gas. I was gonna call BS but didn't want to get in any trouble for bashing a large donator to the university. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

And this was back when oil was much cheaper per barrel and gas prices still crept into the mid $3 range. I love it when companies say they have to charge more because their price goes up (presenter mentioned this), but they charge more for the gas already in their holding tanks, so in the end they are charging more money for the gas they already have (I wanted to say this to him).

One distinct memory I have was back a few months ago. I went out to play golf, left the house around 8. Drove past a station and the price was $3.50. Drove past that station LITERALLY 2 hours later (rained and couldn't play) and it was $3.70! Price jumped up 20 cents in 2 hours, WTF is that.

Not that I care that much, I'll pay what I have to. I just cut back on other things like going out to dinner, playing golf, etc. Can't really blame the oil companies for wanting to make more money. That's what business is all about. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif It's not a charity.

The oil companies have gas stations by the balls. 2 years ago an average gas station in Western Washington made 3-4 cents a gallon profit... That can't even pay for bills.... So he was not lying and your instinct is wrong.

Ask me how I know.

I'm paying $3.79 for regular. Sure is great that it's going down, less than a month ago regular was about $4.19.
