Credit card companies charge the station [or whoever] a fee every time the card is used, so they actually make less money if you use a card.

We're down to $2.22 and $2.32 around here depending on what town you get it in. Heading over to the eastern part of the state this afternoon so I'm hoping it will be just as cheap over there (when did over $2 a gallon become cheap?! LOL). I agree with AOIIAlum that I don't think it will last for a long time - but I will enjoy it while it does. :)

Yep, we're at $1.95.

I filled up my tank yesterday with $1.91!!! for the first time in several years it only costed me $21 for a full tank of gas !! Better than the 45 bucks I was paying just a few months ago!

epchick 11-07-2008 07:29 PM

I filled up yesterday at Sam's for $2.35 and that's the cheapest i've seen. Most places are still $2.40-$2.50

texas*princess 11-07-2008 07:49 PM

Holy shizz! It's $1.96 here!

Seriously... that's beyond nutty.

Yea... I filled up the other day on $22. I don't even remember how long ago it was the last time I did that

KSUViolet06 11-07-2008 08:01 PM

The Sheetz by my apt has it at 1.86! Yay.

AOIIalum 11-07-2008 08:05 PM

Saw gas for $1.81 just outside the Louisville metro limits on our way home today. Too bad we'd filled up last night at $1.89.

Still BLUTANG 11-07-2008 08:32 PM

2.29 right outside dc, 2.09 in bmore!

jojapeach 11-08-2008 03:16 PM

I'm stunned that there is gas for $1.98. I'll be more stunned if there prices continue to go down.

ComradesTrue 11-13-2008 03:19 PM

$1.91 at the little station around the corner from my house.

The prices here have fallen at least 2 cents a day for the past 2 weeks. One day alone it dropped ten cents. Last weekend, when the prices were $2.11 but had been steadily falling, I bet my husband that it would fall below $2 eventually. He did not think so. By Monday I had won that bet!

Fun times.:)

NutBrnHair 11-13-2008 03:30 PM

$1.90 just South of Knoxville on Sunday.

The guy at the pump next to me took a picture of the sign with the price on it.

srmom 11-13-2008 05:25 PM

Yeah, it's all fun and games with the low gas prices, the problem is, they are low because of the global fears of a world wide recession - BOO!!!

Hopefully, we'll all have jobs to pay the low price.

Oh well! Enjoy it while it lasts!

update: since this morning it is now down to $1.89... keeping the 2 cent daily drop alive!

epchick 11-13-2008 08:12 PM

So here I go complaining again....but seriously:

Texas average gas price: $2.003
National average gas price: $2.178

El Paso average gas price: $2.366. Seriously? .36 cents higher than the Texas average? Why?

The reason it is so high. Because apparently when the rest of the country had high gas prices, El Paso's gas was relatively cheap. Sorry, that makes no sense.

SWTXBelle 11-13-2008 08:59 PM

Consider it a small price to pay for living in "paradise". :)

Honeykiss1974 11-13-2008 09:06 PM

Wow - I just went to fill up and gas was $1.86! Yipee!!!!!!!

hahahaha...true! lmfao. Not even. If it was "paradise" gas would be free.

em_adpi 11-13-2008 10:15 PM

1.81 today in Fort Worth!

Scandia 11-13-2008 10:23 PM

It is around 2.09-2.15 here. It may get below 2 bucks soon. SWEET!

SWTXBelle 11-13-2008 10:30 PM

Low of $1.79!

sthrnsweetie007 11-13-2008 11:50 PM

it's $1.79 here as well

but if you get your gas at kroger ( like i do) and use your kroger plus card, you save .03 if you haven't spent $100 in groceries yet and you save .10 if you have spent $100. and if you have a Kroger 1-2-3 Mastercard you save .15

so i filled up today for $1.64 .... AAHHH I WAS SO EXCITED!!!!! lol

smiley21 11-14-2008 06:31 AM

For the first time in a LONG time, gas in Jacksonville dropped below $2.00. I almost crashed the car. :p

Scully 11-14-2008 11:08 AM

I paid $2.39 this morning. But I've still seen it as high as $2.65 by my house. I doubt NY will ever see gas under the $2.00 mark again!

APhi Sailorgirl 11-14-2008 01:41 PM

$1.73 last night in SE Virginia.

Scandia 11-14-2008 04:00 PM

I filled my car today with 20 beautiful little buckaroos!

I remember earlier this year it would take 35 dollars to do the same at the gas level I had beforehand. The most I ever paid in FL was 38 dollars- but that was because the gas light had turned on and it was a very expensive station in a very posh part of town.

I keep getting those deals on my receipts from Kroger. Sounds like a great deal and I spend a lot of money on groceries so I should be getting gas cheap. The problem? The nearest Kroger with a gas station is about 10 miles away. Driving 20 miles round trip negates the savings. Thanks Kroger.

txdiva 11-15-2008 10:15 AM

$1.85! I love it!!! :D

theath765 11-16-2008 03:53 PM

yea gas coming down, when will food?

em_adpi 11-16-2008 05:05 PM

1.75 today... *crosses fingers for even lower price by Thanksgiving*

Scandia 11-16-2008 07:42 PM

Believe it or not, some stations here are as low as 1.99. Less than a year ago, they were at 3.95.

Ditto. I saw $1.75, but $1.79 was closer to home.


ETA: What I wanna know is why this company is still charging a "Fuel Fee" in addition to U.S. ground shipping because of "rising gas prices" when gas is CURRENTLY lower than it has been in years?

FirstAndFinest 11-17-2008 07:56 AM

$1.84 at the Gulf on Morris Ave in Union.

Honeykiss1974 11-17-2008 11:43 AM

$1.79/gal this morning when I filled up!

sthrnsweetie007 11-17-2008 05:15 PM

I absolutely love that it is costing me less and less to fill up my car. Maybe the prices will keep going this way?

Langox510x 11-17-2008 05:16 PM

Filled up for $1.89 out here in Stevens Point, WI today.

WCsweet<3 11-17-2008 06:04 PM

It is $2.29 in the city and about $2.00 it the country.
I almost cried.

If food goes down, I will bawl like a baby.

DoubleTDG 11-18-2008 03:23 AM

I filled up today for $1.69. :eek:
