Gasoline Price Per Gallon In Your Area, Right Now

PIPEWRENCH said:
The oil producing companies have intentionally flooded the market with oil and drove down pricing. This is counter productive to making profits. Why would a company that pumps oil out of the ground for $9.00 a barrel say and was selling it for $100.00 a barrel work twice as hard to pump twice as much oil to drive the price down to $10.00 a barrel. The oil producers are working twice as hard to make $1.00 profit on a barrel of their oil when they were making $91.00 a barrel.

There is an agenda that does not have providing cheap affordable oil to you and I. I would bet my life on it. Exactly what it is I am not sure yet.

I know one agenda is to move the refineries from high labor markets such as the USA and Europe to cheaper labor in other parts of the world to increase profits. They could also be trying again to shut down alternative renewable energies making them to costly. Not like they haven't done this before. Clearly we don't learn form the past.

Unlike our government and the people today who only see today these big companies are looking years down the road and potential profits.

If you believe they have done this because they like to make less money and feel sorry for the consumer paying high prices you probably also believe in unicorns.

It specifically has do to with the cold war between Iran and Saudia Arabia.. where the Saudies have enough money to hurt the Iranian economy for a longer period of time with cheap oil

That, and they want ot make sure making biofuels not as economically viable.
 
$1.39 just up the road.. If I drove an extra 2 miles there are a couple of places selling at $1.35 currently.

In the very near future there will be both an OnCue and a Sam's club opening right around the corner.. I have a feeling that when they open my neighborhood could start seeing prices comperable to what is now a few miles up the road.

Good days indeed.

Isn't most of the cost government taxes. I know here in the states the government makes more on gasoline than the people making and selling it.

Well if that is true why doesn't our government take advantage of this price war and increase the tax on oil using the money to balance the budget or sure up social security. As the price goes back up the tax automatically is reduced. Of course that is a pipe dream. Our government only votes by partisan when it comes to stuffing their pockets with our money. Never mind.
 
This is getting rediculous.. saw a station today @ $1.13 per gallon, others on the same stretch of road @ $1.14 and $1.15. I think we have the lowest gas prices in the nation.. at least it appears so with a quick look at the gasbuddy price map.

I am seriously starting to wonder if I will see prices go below the $1 mark.. its getting close, and prices are still falling rapidly!!!
 
1.47 or so
 
$1.399 for 87 Octane, about $1.73 for 93 Octane.
 
Gasoline is free here right now. I'm thinking they'll be paying us to pump it shortly.
 
Used my Fry's fuel points the other morning.

And now it's bumped back up to $1.79 a gallon.

Seems like it's jumping 10 cents higher every day or two the last few days.
 
$1.35 on this side of town. About a dime higher on the west side.

Yes, predictably, the price is going up. California's gas is now around $2.50 give or take depending on which station you go to. I saw $3.79 the other day in a little mountain community with only one gas station. That shows the cost of a capitalist system with no competition. It kind of reminded me of Comcast.
 
$1.909-$1.999

Funny, innit? Oil price goes up and the price of gas jumps immediately. Oil price goes down and the price of gas has to wait 'till the supply bought at the old price is sold.
 
It is about $1.99 here is SW Florida too.

As long as it stays around $2.50 or less through 2016 I will be very happy.

A year ago regular was about $2.55 a gallon.

December 2013 it was just over $3.20 a gallon.

In Central FL it is running about $1.99 to $2.05...I'm with Minnie, if it stays under $2.50 that would be nice.
 
Gas prices continue to trickle UP. :doh

Every station I see is now back over $2.00 per gallon. Seeing $2.05 - $2.11 mostly.

WTF. :mad:
 
24 hour jump.
From $2.09 yesterday morning to $2.15 today. :2brickwal
