I have to point out that when this thread first started in 2000, they were griping about $1.40 a gallon!

And that was because of the Y2K scare. I don't think they've gone back to normal since then.

In some stations here, it is as low as 3.19. But in my part of town, being a bit more affluent, it is around 3.32. Still I won't complain- once it got up to 3.95. And in Atlanta I paid 4.05 while where I live it must have been around 3.65.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. - Sure, gas prices have come down lately. But to 34.9 cents a gallon? That's what Kelly Joosten and dozens of other motorists paid at a Citgo station Monday. The sign advertised $3.43 for a gallon of premium fuel, but the pump cost read $0.349 a gallon.

Our gas prices here have dropped to $2.89 as of yesterday. Still too high in my opinion but I'll certainly take that over $3-$4 per gallon any day

 WTF? As of yesterday, we were still around 3.09-3.29. WWWHHHYYYY GGGOOOOODD?????
I don't even know why we are so much more expensive, supposedly we are suppose to cheaper than other places because we have an oil refinery in the city.

^^^ That's awful. Just awful.
I've finally seen $2.99 in the Atlanta area!!! Such relief washed over me at sight. Then I come in this thread reading about $2.50 and $2.53 and such. At least my 3/4 tank fill up way under $40. Finally!

Cheap gas is temporary. In this weeks edition of Fortune there is an oil and gas expert that predicts $500 a barrel oil in the near future. He might be wrong but his points all made sense and he as been right on the money so far. In the last 6 years we went from $20 a barrel oil to about $150.
If we look at simple supply and demand, the supply is going down and the demand is going up. We have 300 million people. China has 1.3 billion and India has 1 billion who are all trading in their bikes for cars.
Anyone expecting cheap gas in the future will be in deep chit if it doesn't work out. You are better off playing it safe and then if we do have cheap gas you will still come out ahead. By playing it safe I am referring to buying a house 40 miles from work or living 1 mile from work. Buying a 6 mpg Hummer or a 30 mpg compact.

It finally hit $2.99--on base. Too bad my military id expired (and I can't get it renewed). It's still over $3 around town. Hopefully Sam's will be under $3 in the next day or so.

More places in town have hit below the $3, but there are still A LOT of places that are $3.05+.
I filled up for $2.91 at Sam's today, yay!! Took less than $40.
