Why - they already dropped down to BELOW what they were before Katrina (And I live on the Gulf Coast). Filling up out of fear of rising gas prices is stupid - and will only cause stations to raise the price of gas at a faster rate (artificial demand based on future expectations).

Below what they were??? Where are you at? It's around $2.70-2.80 right now in Nashville. It was $1.80-$1.90 before Katrina. It's nowhere near below pre-katrina prices.

I've been searching. And Anandtech search sucks. What was the first thread devoted to Rita? This is the earliest I could find.

The day before Katrina, the cheapest gas here in Panama City was $2.47, prices were near $2.40 yesterday. Also - considering the national average for gas prices was at $2.50 the week before Katrina, I'm calling shens on the you having $1.80 gas the week prior to Katrina.

Then you were getting ripped off long before Katrina. The fact is...most cities have gas pricies signifigantly higher than pre-katrina pricing. Just because you don't, does not make you the majority.

FYI: I don't care what you call. Got it? We had sub $2.00 (I said $1.80-$1.90) before Katrina.

Jsut admit that you pulled that number out of your ass. Pull up any news story from google - they all indicated average prices across the country @ $2.50 prior to Katrina.

WTF is up with you calling me a liar jackass? I never personally attacked you. Maybe if you had a clue, you'd realize that an AVERAGE...includes high areas and LOW areas. TN generally has gas prices on the lower end of the scale. Factoring in places like NYC, LA, FL....the AVERAGE is going to be higher than what I get in northern TN.

Ok lets just settle this:

Scroll down, look at the graph. How does the gas price now compare to the end of August?

Hint, US average for retail gas prices:

Aug 15: $2.55
Aug 22: $2.61
Aug 29: $2.61 ******
Sept 5: $3.07
Sept 12: $2.96
Sept 19: $2.79

No problem. I just thought it was funny that the more popular one has the link to this thread on the third post. But this is the thread that gets called the repost.

Thank you - exactly what I was saying. There is NO WAY there was a deviation from the average of .81 cents - gas prices do vary, but LikeLinus was likely not even paying $1.80 for gas at anytime during this summer.

I say LikeLinus still wins. His number may be slightly off, but his point was correct (gas was cheaper nationwide before Katrina than it is now). Your point is incorrect (gas is not cheaper now than before Katrina).

Browse that website more, and you'll see LikeLinus is considered in the Midwest. In June 2005, the average price for the cheapest gas in the Midwest was $2.00/gallon as reported by that website. I don't know Tennessee gas tax laws (are they high or low for the midwest?), but there is a good chance that portions of the midwest near him were near $1.80/gallon.
