$2.38/gal gas

Cool...Does it really matter if you own a Prius?

 

Guessing I am the minority when I say I wish it wouldn't go down. Americans only change when it effects their wallets directly, and this just helps delay the inevitible.

 

As I've stated time and time again, I'm all for higher gasoline prices. It will put pressure on automakers to continue pushing forward with more hybrid, plug-in, and EV development.

Unfortunately, over the past week, the price of crude oil has fallen from US $85 down to US $74 per barrel. Of Course, this is better than a month ago when crude was at $70 per barrel (over the past month, it slowly increased up to $87) - that's why pump prices went up).

Good news is that I just checked and the price is on the rise again due to a tropic storm that just formed in the Atlantic Ocean.

 

we at about 95.9 cents/ litre in eastern Ontario

 

For Calif, there's a nice web page so you can have a heads up on what you'll pay before you get there:

California Map Gas Prices - Find the Lowest California Gas Prices on a Map

south orange county is running between 3.09 & 3.29 a gallon. But the PHEV's and EV's are on there way. soon, I won't even remember what people pay for gas



.

 

Here is a color coded price map of the whole U.S.: USA National Gas Price Heat Map

 

$2.38 sounds like half price to me. Here it's about $4.50.

 

I wish it'd rise, not so much to force efficiency but as a sign of a strengthening global economy.

 

Agreed. Let's cut the federal income tax, but boost the gas tax. We need a much bigger federal gas tax -- at least one dollar per gallon -- but it can't be allowed to increase our total tax burden.

 

who cares. we all drive priuses. lets make gas $10/gallon and the only drivers on the road will be priuses hahaha. no more angry trucker tailgaters.

 

Do you have to thaw it out before you can use it?

 

Thaw it? But then how would we get the little gas cubes into the tank?

 

Regular gas, with the lovely mix of mandatory 10% Ethanol ALL YEAR LONG, Thank you the State of Oregon, the lowest in Seaside Oregon is $2.959 per gallon.

Sorry, but you are not very realistic... Over the years, I've realized one thing about governments - they never have enough of our money. They may reduce Federal Income Tax for a short period of time, but will add other taxes to make up for the loss (like your proposed increased gas tax). Then they will raise the Federal Income Tax. This may sound strange to you but have you ever thought that maybe the best thing for our country is a smaller, more efficient government?????

$3.09/gal Friday in L.A.! :angry:

Wth???

 

Well here in CO, it is still $2.699/gal which is higher than the map, but still pretty low. It is fun when you pull in to fill up, and the bladder takes 9 gallons in a couple minutes and the guy next to you that was there when you started is already at 15+ gallons and still going as you drive off.

I wonder if anyone has included pump-time into any "true-cost" situations of gasoline If your time is worth money, then pumping more fuel is even more expensive!

 

Saw $2.55 yesterday just off I-75 in Michigan around Bay City and Saginaw.
Just checked Gas Buddy and lowest in Michigan is now $2.39!

 

I filled up in Rutland, VT yesterday for $2.61/9
