When 91 octane got under $3, that is what I started feeding the 401.

If prices stay down it's another factor pushing me toward another Ouray trip for '15, I don't even want to know how much I spent for fuel in '13 ball park may have been $1100 for fuel, that's at 10MPG, may have been less towing over the mountains.Chad

Alls I know is I can actually afford to drive for however long it stays down. I'm sure by next Summer gas prices will be back up.
I do know for some reason my 300zx drives a lot faster now that premium gas is cheaper. Don't know why hahahaRob

Gas aint $2.00 around my neck of the...plains.
Last I tanked up was 5 days ago and 91 Octane is still around $2.55 a gallon. 85 octane is $2.30-ish.
Are people gonna buy old gas-guzzlers because the world is gonna be a sunny, inexpensive place to live and drive now?
Yep, and a free puppy with every gallon of gas you buy too, I'm sure.
Just means instead of $65 a fillup, it'll be $50 a fillup.
For a while. Then it'll go up. It always goes back up.Comment

Nearest station to me was $1.99 tonight.Chad

Higher in AK :-P
You lower 48'ers must be getting good deals.
Between 3-ish and up to 4.15 gal at a station near the airport.
Slaveway/Phred's a bit cheaper with their cards.
Enjoy it while you can, 'cos Emperor Unicorn and his Carbon Penguins
won't stand for that. '15 is supposed to be full tilt boogie against 'evil carbon-ators', the Eee-Pee-Yay has been granted some new and better powers to play with.
I'll admit it, if I could be back with the Wag, I'd be pedal down too for a while,
to blow said carbon out of the old mill, and just for the enjoyment of driving the Wag.

Yeah, oil prices won't stay depressed for long. We are a perfect example of why. Gas drops to $2 due to supply and we say 'yeah, I can afford to take the jeep out a little more' and we increase the demand.
Plus this is my year to get back up to Ouray. It won't feel like I am really Ouray if I am paying less than $4 a gallon for gas.82 Cherokee WT ?

Be thankful for the gift of cheap gas. No really, face Mecca, kneel down and offer your most humble gratitude.There are 2 rules to success in life...
Rule #1: Don't tell people everything you know.

Herk,
I was just trying to be positive. But having worked in Oil & Gas the last 20 years, I agree this is really a bad thing.
Here's the best write-up I've found with references:

unhooked
It would be cool if the ptb had the spine/stones to unhook from the
camel teats.
WTH we can't be self sufficient, at prices the average working stiff can afford to still keep the lights on for their families is beyond me.
Yeah, I get the whole supply/demand thing.
But of anyone thinks the sandbox is ever gonna be stable, they have heat stroke on the brain.
Despite the pounding the Germans took in WW2, they developed a synfuel industry.
There has to be just a few smart folks in this country, who could suss this out. Alot of what's been going on since post war behind the scenes is bleeping garbage. And no, I don't hate gas/oil....I like my vehicles, and being able to be independently mobile. Not all of us want to live in a big hive/hub city like the progcoms dream about.
And sending guys in suits to punish those who brew their own (biodiesel)
is ridiculous....really, punish private folks for taking initiative and trying to support themselves? Yeah, that's a winning policy to have. 'They' are always pushing 'green/reuse/recycle'- so if a few local folks get together with restaurant owners, and agree to haul off the waste oil and reuse it so they can get to work too, what's the bleeping harm?
It seems the ever mysterious 'they', like folks to be dependent on Uncle Sugar and his programs/pals.
Didn't this country help to win a couple big wars, help to liberate some folks, and send some guys to the moon a few times? Or was that can-do drive and initiative just a myth??

Got the Cherk running the other day. Had to put gas in it 'cuz I forgot I ran it out of gas when I parked it 6 months ago. 85 octane was $1.86 per...but 91 octane is still $2.11....Originally posted by Tinkerjeep
I wonder how long this can last....Comment

a little while longer
.....a little while longer....grrrrr
until we find out who will win this price war, King Saud-Camel or Vlad Puty-Tin the Impaler....Camel can afford to crush the domestic mini-boom price wise, our guys can't compete with their reserves or their labor costs.
Same with Vlad, despite Komrade O's limp-wristed bubble gum policies and speeches, Puty-Tin doesn't fear him.
Seriously, a former, actual Cold War dude, vs. some supposed Haah-vaad
Professor hack and ACORN shill....that would be an interesting cage match, even if the Bear is older. Not a fan of Vlad, but I'd pay 5 bucks to see him give O some free dental work.
Plus the fight between Whiny-Boy Bonehead/Mc-Con-All vs. Komrade O coming up- O and the Unicorns aren't gonna let the evil R's have their Kanadian Karbon Pipe finished. Bonehead and Con are not real opposition,
it's all for show. No spine, guts, or...eh...clankers. Meet the new boss(es),
same as the old boss(es).
We lose either way. For now, of you got the coin, fill em up, and enjoy.
I'd be doing the same as you guys if I was home, driving the Wag as much as I could.Comment
