Gasoline price

[Chi-Town]

Went past the Shell on 466 a couple of days ago and regular gas was $2.99 a gallon. I remember Newt Gingrich promising $2.50 a gallon if he were elected, but I never thought we'd get below $3.00. There was so much blame for high prices that there should be some credit due for the lower.

How can Americans enjoy the damage the foreign oil producers' over-supply and cut-throat pricing is doing to our domestic producers trying to gain our energy independence?!?!?

"“A refiner on the East Coast isn’t going to buy a barrel of domestic crude oil if, [when] delivered to his refinery, it’s $10 more expensive than a barrel of international crude oil,” Fallon explained.“Domestic producers know prices could fall by another $8-$10 bucks and that’s the concern.”

Fallon also warned that “at $75 selling price, some of these tight oil formations aren’t very competitive. That’s barely enough to cover the break even cost of drilling.”

Its temporary be ready for sticker shock shortly

Blessed that gas in my NJ neighborhood today is $2.75! And that is NOT a typo! :)

[lynxville]

Don't worry OPEC is meeting soon and it will cut supply.

[jblum315]

And don't forget - that #2.99 is for cash only. Credit card or even debit card they charge more.

Enjoy the prices now. As soon as elections are over the price will go back up....

It is down to $2.86 here in east TN but we are heading south real soon

We were in The Villages and left on Sunday the 19th to go back to CT for a short stay. Funny observation. Gas was approximately $3.09 around TV and when we got to CT on Monday, gas was $2.99.

Gas in CT was consistently 30-40 cents per gallon more expensive than in Florida over the past 5 years we lived here in TV. I never thought gas in CT would be cheaper than in Florida

I live in a small city in Michigan, about 20 minutes from the the Ohio border. We normally have some of the higher gas prices in the country. Right now we are at $3.19, while right over the border in Toledo OH it is $2.73. And nobody can explain why...

If prices are consistently higher in one state over another, it is usually because of the amount of each state's taxes.

Without doing any research, I would look at the state taxes that Michigan and Ohio charge per gallon. I have a home in CT as well as in The Villages and CT has some of the nation's highest gasoline taxes.

Paid $2.97 (credit card) at station in Wildwood corner of 44 and 301 today.

[jmvalcq]

I paid $2.79.9 on 10/18 along I 75 in Georgia using a credit card.

I was so excited this morning to see that the cheapest fuel right now is 2.95 at Murphy's next to the Charter Schools. :pepper2:

[Sophie11]

I am old and I know after all the elections gas will shoot up!

Yes, and "they" have decreed that the SS increase will only be 1.7% for 2015 due to very low inflation...mostly due to lower gas prices.

Does anyone think their food bill has only gone up 1.7% in the last year? (sorry, off topic)

[golf2140]

Maybe it's all the oil drilling on private land. Maybe it could be lower if the Govn. would allow drilling all over.

Just returned from up North yesterday. Lowest price I paid coming down was 2.77 in Chattanooga. Paid with a credit card.

Has anyone found ethanol gas anywhere around The Villages or surrounding areas?

[mulligan]

It's all got ethanol. The problem is finding gas without ethanol.

[nitehawk]

why would i want to find gas without ethanol ---http://sugarcane.org/sugarcane-products/ethanol
Brazil is doing just fine--- big oil is govt and govt is big oil
just keep fracking -- its safe - 3mile island was safe - drilling and pumping in the gulf is safe - love canal --tennessee coal ash spill - dont worry GE you can put you PCB waste in the hudson river is safe --- "oh" maybe we made a mistake - too late---Christine Whitman "oh" the air is safe WTC -- 30 pieces of silver

Gasoline with 10% to 15% Ethanol is harmful to small engines i.e. lawn mowers. For some reason, it is more expensive (remember un-leaded gasoline). It can be harmful to motor vehicles too. Ethanol, added to gasoline, is just another Federally Funded program for farmers to get rid of corn if I'm not mistaken. The only reason gasoline prices are dropping, as one said, is the upcoming elections and for US to start providing our own energy such as fracking, Canadian oil sands etc. One would think that we would not like being held hostage to Middle East countries for their oil. I do not believe that the internal combustion engine will be gone in ours or our children's lifetime.

[Chi-Town]

I don't think the upcoming elections have anything to do with the falling gas prices. There doesn't appear to be any evidence to back up that assumption. The reasons are much more global than that. Supply and demand is still the major pricing factor.

Why is it that people decry and protest foreign-made products and want us to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more for an American-made car for example…..

..but apparently it's okay with them to buy foreign-produced fuel to save a piddlin' $2 or $3 per tank of gas?!??!

What happened to Buy American when it comes to GAS being sold at prices that don't even cover drilling costs of American producers?

[nitehawk]

Maybe someone can explain to me ---- energy independence -- when the price of natural gas dropped to $2 Chesapeake energy stopped pumping natural gas - supply and demand--- Venezuela $0.10 per gallon ---US $0.90 per gallon Venezuela gasoline prices, 20-Oct-2014 | GlobalPetrolPrices.com (http://www.globalpetrolprices.com/Venezuela/gasoline_prices/)
Yes i know taxes taxes taxes-tax my phone- tax my gas - please let big oil export natural gas so they can make more money and not lower the price to US citizens - as the supply will be down (exported ) and demand up --- higher prices for us

Non ethanol gas is available at the new Marathon on 466A.

Would you care to site your source of documentation to support this statement??

[Sandtrap328]

"What happened to Buy American when it comes to GAS being sold at prices that don't even cover drilling costs of American producers?"

What happened to the mantra that went something like "free market"? Let the market determine what the right price for the product will be.

Sounds like a conservative mantra to me, doesn't it to you?

I am in St Pete for the weekend and am seeing prices around $2.85 at places.
