Do you think that gas prices will get so low that this picture will no longer be funny?

BTW, the price of gas dropped seven cents in the last 36 hours at my nearest station to $2.77.

I know it is currently in your profiles, but can you please post your location with your prices?

seems like 87 octane has been dropping faster than higher octane. The price difference from 87 to 93 is still about 60-70 cents which is a larger % difference than it was a couple months ago

Dave McOwen, the most educated Amercian on the internet, has been predicting post election oil/gas prices to rise to $200/barrel for oil and $10/gal for gas by the end of the year.

fwiw - I just filled-up(the first time in a month) for $2.16 in Boston.

Actually, its $200/barrel in his latest prediction. He just doesn't mention that fact that he's talking about the year 2030 ;)

At about $2.19 here in Chicago Suburbs.

It's getting close...

Down to $2.249 here.

I hope it gets down to under 2$ here. That would be amazing.

Under 20$ fillups @ 60MPG+ FTW!

You said that not me but it will certainly crank back up on any one of the bag of excuses they have such as summer blend, refinery explosion, storm 3,000 miles away etc etc.

I just filled up at $1.85, wow I should buy an Escalade right away right? :roll:

$1.84 here.

I just got a Grand Cherokee but my assumption the gas would go up to at LEAST $3/gal so I got it knowing prices are going to get worse.

If gas hits $5/gal or more I might sell it but doubtful.

I get better gas mileage than a Prius, and I'm not crying. It still saves me money overall. :D

I could go to work and back for 2.5 months on a tank(10 gal).

20$ for gas getting to/from work every 2.5mo FTW!

my aunt had a prius, and something broke on it that was going to cost $5k to fix

she traded it in 2 months ago for an escalade that the dealer was dying to get rid of at the time, and it only cost her like $3k out of pocket to get it after she traded...looks like she bought it at the right time :)
