I saw on the news that the oil refinery workers are on strike also so that is probably contributing to the higher cost also. It has gone up here also $1.99 in OKC, $2.09 in SW Oklahoma. They need to go back to work, lol.

The new gas tax plus the oil refinery explosion in Southern CA contributed to state wide increases :/

.769 cents a tablespoon here. Unless if the tablespoon is from the Buckhorn Exchange; then closer to a penny.

I'm seeing $2.09 in the far Western Chicago suburbs.  

Christ, that is what gas cost back in the 1970s!  The adjusted-for-inflation cost of $2.09 must be about $1.50 or so.  

What goes down, goes back up again.  I wouldn't go out and buy a Ford Excursion right now.

If you sign up and report gas prices, you have a chance to win a 100$ gas card. I am a bit too lazy to do that, so I just use it to find "cheap" gas. lol

I paid 2.19 today in San Bernardino County, but gas near me in Riverside County is 2.23. Weirdly enough, gas was cheaper in the Northern OC at 2.19. That made no sense to me, to be honest.

Do you guys use the GasBuddy website/app?

Diesel has dropped to less than a dollar a litre here in some places. It was $1.60 ish so that's quite a fall. I don't buy petrol so have no idea what that has fallen to.

Surely people know gas will go up again? lol

Even when gas was high I did not consider buying a smaller vehicle, I love my Ford Explorer too much, lol. For safety reasons when my teenage daughter wanted a vehicle, I bought her a used Ford-F150. My "small" vehicle is a Colorado truck.

LOL The Hachiback! That's so clever. I was almost considering doing that because honestly, all of the other lanes were almost completely empty. It made no sense at all because they had no reason to ride my tail lol.

"The Hachiback".... LOL, now that's funny!
 
I also do the slow down on tailgaters, So Annoying!  Although on a lot of our roads there is no place to pass, so they are stuck with me if they want to ride my bumper.  It's a bit of a risk, you never know when someone is going to lose it & try to force you off the road though.  Some people are just stupid.

Cool - I think you should christen it "The Hachiback" .
Whenever someone does that to me, I like to see how slow they're prepared to go before they get tired of seeing the back of my car. I set the cruise control and take it down one mile per hour at a time so it doesn't look deliberate. It's like the frog in boiling water experiment - you can get people down into the 40s on the freeway before they realise what's going on and pull past

I used GasBuddy, the phone app/website, and the cheapest gas near me was 2.29$. I ended up getting a 2013 Kia Rio LX Hatchback lol. A Prius tailgated me like half way down 60 West for no reason because every other lane had open space......so I just got out of the lane. It got annoying, to be honest. :/

Guys, listen to the old lady...this too shall pass. Don't go out and buy that big gas sucking truck or SUV because a year or two from now you will be singing the blues. Gas that goes down this fast will also go back up at the same speed.

Years ago after the Gas Embargo was over and gas got cheap people bought the gas guzzlers. I never forgot and I still purchase my cars based on high MPG.

Yes this is nice but I suggest you do the math and if you save $25.00 a week now on that cheap gas put that money in your savings account, you will be happy down the road.

Nooooooo! gas is going up again, I paid $1.59 just outside of OKC today. At the gas station I paid $1.56 last Sunday was up to $1.69 today. I kind of laughed at myself as I drove on by the $1.69 thinking I could get it cheaper down the road (when just a couple years ago it was $3.90 a gallon) anyway I did find it cheaper down the road, I just got lucky!

Techno - my brother was just telling me what he's paying for fuel over there (he lives in Swindon) and I felt bad because it keeps getting cheaper here. $2.30 is the lowest I've seen in San Diego. I'm driving a lot more and I'm still using less than $30 worth of fuel a week.

Not over here it wont, the lowest we are likely to see is ÂŁ6.00 a gallon which is about $9.00!  Seriously! Those are our prices! 

Do you still want to complain about your taxes over that side of the pond?

2.39$ closest to me at Arco. In my hometown though, cheapest is 2.17, also an Arco. NorCal gas is usually cheaper than SoCal.

We had 3 price drops last week. I can't tell you what it's at now as I've filled up in the last 3 weeks and won't until the week after next but it made it onto the evening news. 

What was it Dimitri Orlov wrote about a sign that financial collapse was imminent? It was something about the price of oil suddenly dropping. I'll try to dig out his book this evening and will report back.

$2.43 in SoCal - that's ridiculously cheap for San Diego. Actually had the gas gauge reading past full for the first time in a long time

Don't get too excited got this email today from T. Boone Pickens don't know how I got on his email list but here it is:

During an appearance on CNBC's morning Squawk Box program, T. Boone Pickens again predicted that the price of Brent crude oil - the world price - would be back up to $90 to $100 in 12 to 18 months.

Pickens pointed out that OPEC is no longer a cartel, but "it's a trade association." Saudi Arabia has the hard currency resources to ride out $60 oil but "countries like Venezuela and Nigeria are broke."

Pickens said, "the cheapest oil in the world is right here in the United States" and that the amount of oil being drilled from both traditional wells and shale deposits has helped the American economy and "amounts to a trillion dollar tax cut."

75 oil rigs had been "dropped" in the past three weeks and he wouldn't be surprised if 40 percent of rigs were taken out of service in the U.S. until prices recover.

"And prices will recover," Pickens said, explaining that excess inventory would be consumed and "demand will go back up" and oil and natural gas producers would bring their rigs back on line.

He also talked about the Pickens Plan, promising that "heavy trucks and railroads" would lead the way to transition away from largely imported diesel to domestic natural gas. "Natural gas is still cheaper than diesel," he said, "but America needs an energy plan and the Pickens Plan is a plan for America."
