Gasoline price
 
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.”

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

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....

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.

Murphy's Express on 466
 
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:
