1. "Damn it. Sneer." - xCommander AWOL Bush & Republicon Oil Cronies

[nmbluesky]

2. GREAT PIC..

K&R.

[DJ13]

28. I like how they put the President on the right in both pics

[tallahasseedem]

48. Wow!

That brought back some serious memories! I remember when it was only .99...oh the good old days!

[pinboy3niner]

53. $ .99? Some of us remember when it was a quarter, lol!

Ah, the good old days! :)

[RebelOne]

65. I remember the good old days of gas wars when it was in the single digits. n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

51. +1!!! This is wonderful!

:applause:

[GliderGuider]

3. Of course it is. Have you looked at the economy lately?

Oil and gas prices always go down during recessions as demand declines, so this drop in gas prices is better understood as a "Pyrrhic victory".

[MADem]

4. REALLY? Where did you see it?

Are they getting rid of the rest of the "summer blend" that they had left over because no one could afford to drive anywhere?

[nmbluesky]

5. Albuquerque NM

[MADem]

6. Cool! nt

[RebelOne]

19. I filled up yesterday and it was $3.11 here in North Georgia. n/t

[MADem]

25. It is still high in the northeast. I think three sixty something the other day... nt

[LiberalEsto]

7. Oh, how KIND of the corporations & the rich

to grant us this temporary reprieve from picking our pockets clean!

[uppityperson]

[Frustratedlady]

[ProdigalJunkMail]

11. $2.94 near Anderson SC

Cross: Sandy Spring Rd
Pendleton, SC, 29670-9142

[OmahaBlueDog]

13. I've seen 3.19 here in Omaha to 3.39 in outlying areas

If it breaks below and stays below $3, it'll be interesting to see what impact that has on the consumer economy.

[eShirl]

14. already down to $3.47 here in Central Maine

[Maine-ah]

15. eshirl, you got here before me...

I read an article (I think BDN) that says Maine has some of the highest gas prices in the nation while everyone else was dropping. I see an average on the midcoast at 3.50

[abelenkpe]

16. Still over four here.

Ah, LA. :(

[CountAllVotes]

17. it is still $4.09 here

In not so sunny NW Calif. :(

[Shagbark Hickory]

40. If it's $4.09 there now, what was it a month or two ago?

[obxhead]

18. How exactly did Obama influence this?

[Bluenorthwest]

20. Still nearly 4 in Oregon

3.89 I think it was yesterday.

[madinmaryland]

21. $3.29 on Friday here in Maryland. Probably cheaper as you get closer to Baltimore.

[one_voice]

22. I've seen it...

3.19-3.23 here in Delaware.

[Liberal_in_LA]

23. Paid $3.79 in los angeles yesterday

[louslobbs]

46. Really, where was that? And was that for regular unleaded? We always get gouged in the Valley.

It's really bad if you have to use Super Unleaded.

Lou

[Liberal_in_LA]

50. regular unleaded

[TeeYiYi]

24. Average $3.50 in Utah, Salt Lake...

Ranges $3.49 to $3.97 in central Utah near Richfield. Crazy. $3.97 is rude when prices are so obviously falling...

TYY

[Sheepshank]

38. yeah...I filled up today in S Jordan...mid grade was $3.60

I was coming home from St George last weekend and stopped in Beaver...$4.09-OUTRAGEOUS!

not feeling the love just yet.

[LWolf]

26. #3.95 for regular here; it was $3.85 the last time I filled up. nt

[Davis_X_Machina]

27. Every penny it drops...

....pushes the day when the reality of global warming finally is addressed further down the road.

And in any event, the drop is due to a drop in demand, and the drop in demand is purely an artifact of the recession.

Just think how low gas prices could drop if U3 were were U6 is -- 22%.

[taterguy]

32. Every penny it drops is a penny that people can spend on something other than gas

Besides, most 'discretionary' driving isn't influenced by price.

By discretionary I mean trips that could be done on foot or on a bike.

Those are short trips so the savings are minimal.

If I bike to work instead of drive I save 25 cents a day.

Money isn't what motivates me and that's how we can address the issue: By encouraging people to really think about their actions and the consequences of those actions.

[Davis_X_Machina]

35. You can encourage people from now till the heat-death of the sun...

...but their pocketbooks are the only thing that ever motivated them, that or a gun held to their heads or that of their families.

[demosincebirth]

36. ...or the threat of them losing their arsenals

[taterguy]

37. So how do you discourage people from using cars for short trips?

[GliderGuider]

56. Hold a gun to their heads!

Carjack them, throw them out and tell them to walk, then drive their car to the dump.
That should provide strong encouragement :evilgrin:

[taterguy]

57. Not practical. You can't tell how far someone's driving by looking at them

People would fill their cars with luggage, just to give the impression they were going on a long trip.

The increased weight would mess up their fuel economy.

[GliderGuider]

58. No need to discriminate - they shouldn't be using cars for long trips either.

Carjack them anyway, the walk to Des Moines will do them good.

[taterguy]

59. What if the driver is a fan of Bill Hicks?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk2tEZ6ZfZU

[GliderGuider]

60. Or South African?

http://youtu.be/17tofqF0Y0Y

We environmentalists face a myriad of hazards in our daily work to save the planet...

[taterguy]

62. Environmentalist? That's bullshit. You're a white suburban punk . . .

[safeinOhio]

29. Toledo Ohio, $2.92

[BobbyBoring]

30. Ocean City MD $3.27

But dick head O'Malley wants to put more tax on it~

[madinmaryland]

42. "dick head O'Malley". Nice post Bobby Erhlich.

:thumbsdown:

[Historic NY]

31. 3.33 yesterday New Cumberland PA price gets higher when you get closer to NY

[richmwill]

33. Must be nice- Here in NY it's still at $3.79/gallon. (n/t)

[Historic NY]

49. Around the corner today I spied 3.64 ... 3.59 further in the sticks.

[Rhiannon12866]

54. I've seen it as low as $3.53 here upstate, got it for $3.55 last week.

Check out GasBuddy.com for the lowest prices in your area. It's still over $3.70 at some stations around here... :( :hi:

[etherealtruth]

34. I filled up for $3.49 last night in East Lansing , MI

A lot less expensive than it has been

[girl gone mad]

39. Oil is diving because we're heading back into a recession.

"We did it!"

:eyes:

[Glimmer of Hope]

43. The whole world is heading that way.

Yippee!

[frankcjames]

41. In Central Georgia.....

I paid $2.98 a gallon. That is the least tribute I've had to pay to the Rockefeller family in a long time. And those folks don't want to pay taxes. What's worse ? An Arab oil sheik or a Texas oil sheik ?

[sarcasmo]

44. A sign of a down market which is a good thing for average Americans.

[louslobbs]

45. Wow, I just paid $4.39 in Palm Springs, CA but I'd pay double that to keep a Republican out of the

Oval office and for a Democratic House and Senate. In some areas of Los Angeles, it's as high as $4.89 for super unleaded.
Lou

[tallahasseedem]

47. Hopefully...

it will make it's way up to New Jersey! :)

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Yay! It's yet to come down that far here in NY, but it's down to almost $3.50 from $4+

Snake oil salesmen, the whole lot of them.

[leftyladyfrommo]

61. $3.159 today in Kansas City, Mo.

It's nice to have it cheaper. I have to drive a lot.

[justabob]

63. I paid 2.99 for regular today Dallas

It had been pegged at 3.49 for weeks and weeks, and a few days ago it finally broke. Last time I got gas, it was still 3.19. I was happy to see it.

[a la izquierda]

64. Gas was $3.02 this morning.

It was $3.29 tonight. WTF??

[BiggJawn]

66. Went up here today.

$3.13 to $3.39. Pretty salty for someone not on a Capital Gains income...

[a la izquierda]

67. Okay, I thought I was hallucinating $3.02 yesterday

[BiggJawn]

68. No, I saw it at $3.10 in a few places

Then BAM! the next morning it was up a quarter.

Why?

Because they can, and we can't do a damn thing about it.

It's not like I go for a 100 mile joyride after work or anything...

[RebelOne]

69. I paid $3.11 a few days ago here in North Georgia. n/t

[dog_lovin_dem]

70. $3.15

in Central Illinois today.
