GAS prices going down!?!?!?!

[Racer21(Roberto)]

here in Las vegas gas prices are slowly going down. very slowly, but they are going down. anywhere else???

my prediction is that they will be at $3.00-$3.50 by riding time again. (september-october)

by the way this is proof that hurricanes dont effect the gas prices. on the news im watching the hurricane down in mexico/texas.

anyone else want to express your joy, or your predictions (good or bad) about the gas prices?

[Matt D]

here in riverside it is slowing down but it is still rising, $4.65 at the AM PM down the street

i hope it starts to go down

[dan200]

In my short life on this planet I have yet to see much go down in price. It doesn't make sense to me. A bottle of water costs more than a bottle of soda?

[NoBrakes Drake]

I was in Missouri last week. $4.09 when we arrived Tuesday, $3.79 for both reg and premium by Saturday afternoon.

[DEZERTSUB]

Orange County, California.

1 month ago...4.65 was the cheapest.

Yesterday...4.31.

I hope this is a sign of good things to come:D

Crude was trading under $125 yesterday. Hope it's a trend.

[goofballracer]

i would love to hit 3.00 again its so funny when it hit 3.00 everyone was freaking out and now were at 4.50 and 5.15ish for diesel. i find it funny.

[woundedyak]

I paid $3.79 for mid grade this morning

[DEZERTSUB]

I paid $3.79 for mid grade this morning

Well you live in Redneckville Indiana!!!!

[randy s]

the oil companys always do this. they run it up, piss us all off, then back it down so everyone is happy, then hammer us again til we're all pissed, then back it down a bit. each time they're still at more than they were before they initially began. just when you think they might be human and have just a hint of compassion, then they start the process all over again. they're cockroaches and not in the business of doing anyone any favors. even when everything is upside down. it's all about the bottom line. get out the raid or black flag. and your pinche wallet.

[SandGurl]

I so agree with you Randy and if we ever see prices below $3.50 a gallon, I will be amazed. With that said though, prices were at $3.87 a gallon here yesterday afternoon (vs. $3.99 last week); didn't notice the price this morning.

[bajafox]

This might have something to do with it...

That is great news and if they continue to investigate and charge these groups/individuals, maybe we will see a true price decrease. It's about time!

[michael_loomis]

How rediculous is it that we consider $4.30 a gallon cheap.. and were actually a little happy about it!

[Racer21(Roberto)]

i remember i was FREAKING OUT when gas hit 2.00, and now i just laugh at it and hope that it gets within a dollar of that. haha.
by riding season we will all be able to enjoy riding longer with less stress.

how will this effect the off-road racing community? will it make it so we have more races, and more entrees in the races???

[Bri-Man]

I remember when it hit 2.80 and I freaked out because it cost me $75 to fill up my Ram. I can't imagine what it wouuld be like now (traded for a hybrid). I still don't think that it will go below $3 though. The world is used to paying $4+ right now, and just as you said "were happy about it going down to $4.30." Thats how they !@#KING get us. Thats ok though because when it bursts like the housing market I can laugh at all of those people that made millions off of oil and watch them burn in it.

[woundedyak]

Well you live in Redneckville Indiana!!!!

;)

See,it has it's advantages. Cheap gas and no sun tax!

[woundedyak]

LOL...The pond is much bigger now since the floods.

Contrary to what you and others might think, the oil companies do not have unlimited control over the price of crude oil or gasoline. Sure they are making record profits, but they are not manipulating the market.

[fishd00d]

I remember in 2003 when gas was like 1.50/gal and I could take about $25 and drive my truck from Vista to Ocotillo, drive around all night and then drive back to Vista on one tank!! Those were the good ol days!

Shoot, I still remember filling up my Camaro for less that $1 per gallon in the late 80s and early 90s... In fact I think I paid just under $1 for super back then...:eek:

[woundedyak]

good news! Closed at $124.00 today. That's 20.00 bucks in a week!

[chicken lips the ocho]

i remember i put 75 bucks on my dads f-350 in san felipe and it filled up more than 3 quaters i couldnt believe it, we toped it off in mexicali too

[SandGurl]

good news! Closed at $124.00 today. That's 20.00 bucks in a week!

Nice! Let's hope it continues to drop.

[ikikazz73]

what pisses me off is when i have to swipe my debit card twice!!! argghh just open the limit to $150 instead of $75 or $100... if the palce has a $50 limit i have to swipe THREE times, and i never return!

[Laurie]

It's a sad state of affairs when we're happy gas is "only" $4.39.
I'm old enough to remember the fake "gas shortage" of the
70's. The stations didn't know what they were going to
when it hit $1.00 a gallon because the pumps could only
go to .99 cents. No one ever dreamed it would get that high.

[Young&Fast]

A station near the freeway that is notoriously over priced hit a high of 4.75 a few weeks ago but now it is 4.14. Not bad. I'm hoping that the pussies in congress and the senate will overturn their bans and start drilling! I want to see gas down to ~2.35 a gallon my the time I get my license in October.

[fishd00d]

IMO gas will NEVER drop below 3.00 at the lowest again just because they know they can get away with it and people will pay that. Hell most people would think that 3.00 is a good deal now!

[Racer21(Roberto)]

in vegas there are 2 gas stations across the street from eachother fighting over who has the lowest prices. they dropped down to $3.70 or something around there. but they keep dropping the prices everyday and both of them have lines into the street.

[CHASER]

Wow. 3.70 is pretty good. The best I have seen around here is 4.19 at the Grand ave Arco last night.

[HDRA1]

HAHA! Me too. the dreaded 'Gas Wars' - I remember sitting in gas lines with my dad in the old Datsun 610 wagon, watching fist fights break out over line position :eek: Thanks Carter...stupid Jerk...

[Racer21(Roberto)]

where at in vegas i got to fill up 200 bucks later

bells market on owens and hugheys mart on vegas drive and decader im pretty sure.

but i think there around $3.80. still pretty good.

[NIKAL]

Best I have found is $3.98 today. And I actually got excited. Then I got mad that I was happy to see it under $4.

[HDRA1]

i will be happy when it is in the $1.00 range until then they are all crooks all POS:eek:

[Mike @ pit b]

Remember ten years ago when it was only $1.19 a gallon.

Oh those were the days

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

You can get a gallon of gas in parker for 3.95 a gallon!!!!

[Mike @ pit b]

Still $4.39 is the south bay. but it is dropping. only 3 more dollars to go.

[TauMau]

I've been excited to see it for 4.25 at a couple stations around here. I'm waiting for them to go back up though...

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

Be possitive!!!!

[trent06]

I am curious do any of you guys have cars or trucks that are capable of running E-85? I know that California emissions doesnt allow it but what about any of you others? We have one station in Parker that sells E-85 gas and it is about 3.65 you lose about 2 miles per gallon, but can be worth it. Only specific cars can run on it....

[trent06]

Dont feel to bad just think if you had to pay these gas prices!!!!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25736086/

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Brown runs on it...

[Brandon_Charley]

I recently saw on the news that a company is going to be building an ethanol plant in Lancaster. I would assume that it would mean more availability in SoCal.

[dan200]

If stuff goes down with Iran we will all be seeing $8.55 a gallon. DRILL NOW!!!!!

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

Dan you talking cougars or oil? cause either way DRILL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kritter]

Ethanol is worse environmentally then gas or diesel and it increases our cost of food but our farmers will get rich which could be a good thing.

When prices go under 2 I will say gas prices have come down. I thought to myself as I filled up the other day.."wow prices are coming down" but then I thought to myself, "who am I ****ing kidding?"

[bajafox]

I paid $4.02 last night in Chula Vista

[Brandon_Charley]

There are different types of ethanol, the plant in Lancaster will be using organic waste from the landfill across the street.

Both. :D

[Kev-Hancock]

Wow! $8.55/gallon

Petrol $10.52, Diesel $11.65 per gallon (after currency conversion) U.K. prices, but looking on the bright side the cost of our fuel has also dropped recently.:rolleyes:

[mxnocean]

its been sitting at 4.41 here on oahu for a month i think afirca has it the worst, they pay 18.00 to 20.00 a gallon

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

Damn.... that sucks....

[SandGurl]

Remember ten years ago when it was only $1.19 a gallon.

Oh those were the days

Crazy when you can say those were the days and it was merely only 10 years ago! I remember it being that price too. :(

[Ziggy]

Diesel in Montana yesterday $4.55

[woundedyak]

Wooo Hoooooo $3.61. I know I know,who cares it's in redneckville Indiana!

[Brandon_Charley]

I think my corner station was at $3.61 yesterday.

[Dezertpilot]

I think my corner station was at $3.61 yesterday.

WHERE?! I live in Newport and want to go to this station!

[Mike @ pit b]

[Brandon_Charley]

I didn't check today, but the 3 Arcos by me, Adams & Beach, Beach & Garfield, and Goldenwest & Slater(?), are always the cheapest for miles, occasionally the one at Brookhurst and the 405 beats them by a cent or two.

This was for 87.

[5racer]

what cracks me up is we save kuwait and saudi from loosing everything they had.and still paying for fuel we should be getting it for free for a life time .go figure huh

[crazyeye]

You know gas prices wouldn't be so high if we didn't always start wars over there. Also unregulated oil speculation is also one of the reasons

[bajafox]

It's not all bad, at least someome made some money

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

No gas prices wouldnt be so high if we would drill our own f-n oil, taking the dollar of the gold standard didnt help either. another thing is the dems creating a sheetload of red tape for us to go through to lower said prices.

anyways. Remember this thread needs to stay positive so gas in parker is down to 3.93!
*over*

[woundedyak]

Like Obama said, If we just keep the proper air in our tires, and our cars tuned up.The gas prices will go down!

[dan200]

I wasn't being negative I was just stating a fact. and yes I'm very happy gas prices are down

[chicken lips the ocho]

[dsharp]

But its okay cuz its not profit for the oil companies.....bullllll crap......:mad:

I don't know why you guys think oil companies set the price its the oil trading companies that do and uregulated speculation heres a link to explain it.

that oil speculation is the reason for the high oil and gas prices

[dan200]

The bottom line is he who has the oil has the power. If we ended US speculators they will just move overseas and do it there and our prices will be manipulated in another time zone...nothing changes.....

Beyond that it is supply and demand. I am demanding we tap into our own supply beneath the US.

[Mike @ pit b]

I'm still guessing that they are lowering prices only to jack them up for Labor Day, like always.

[MORE #911]

Some news reports are saying now the decrease in fuel indicates a severe recession as the consumers are running out of cash to drive at any price..that is slowing the demand for gas down and dropping the price..I see in my business that costs are leveling out finally but I think the consumer dollar is out of whack another 4-6 months.

Amen to this above!

I was listening on the politcal channel on Sirius Satelite Radio the other day and they were talking about something that was going to Congress, what they said is the current oil in Alaska from drilling with one oil rig could last us 20-30 years. They said that they would have a setup that is less then 200 acres in Alaska and could have multiple oil rigs drilling and it would last 50 years. By that time the technology of cars and trucks would allow the MPG to increase drastically compared to what they our now without breaking the bank for the purchasers. Which 50 years from now the could also stop or slow down the drilling because of the demand being lowered back to what it was in the early 2000, 2001. The Alaskan senator were both supporting this and telling Congress this is what needed to happen. Just a thought.

I am looking for the article online still, but thought it was interesting.

[pappawheely]

If you discount the Global warming scam, there is nothing wrong with oil. The anti-capitalist left has made oil into the boogey man. Even if we did not burn gasoline the need for oil would continue. When the right alternative comes along it will replace gasoline. Until then we need to use the abundant supplies we have. Remember oil is 100% natural. :)

its a great read, but what about the record high profits the oil companies are making?
just cuz we buy more food, and spend more money doesnt mean gas prices should go up. we just need to find a way out of fossil fuels period, and find differnt means of fuel. but way easier said then done.

[chicken lips the ocho]

diesel 4.29 by my house in riverside today

[dan200]

I was about to fill up today and the guy behind the register says to wait a couple a minutes. A few minutes later he gives me a nod and says that they just dropped the price from 3.799 to 3.739. AWESOME.

Dan,

that is so funny ....when prices were going up back in March (spring break time period) I went to a local station that consistantly has cheap prices on gas to fill up the Motorhome. I start filling it at 3.14 per gal and hit the 75.00 mark. Pump shuts down and won't take my card, so I go in and give the clerk my card go out and start pumping, only this time the price is 3.18! I go back in and say wtf? The clerk states he had waited all day for the tech to switch pump prices and when the guy came he had to do it! I said you could not have waited? Have not been back since!

[Ryno]

Oil is down to $115 today. Gas should be under $4.00 at most stations by Monday. Hopefully we see under $100 a barrel in coming weeks.

[King Dan]

oil companies' profits of 4% on a

gas at 15% isn't?

[glamisrnr]

I paid 3.78 for regular.

[Matt D]

i just paid $3.94 at the am pm on alisandro in riverside

and $4.05 for the 91 for my bike haha

[EQuin]

$3.49 a few days ago at the Pilot station off I-20 and Polk Ave. in south Dallas.
$3.53 at the Lancaster Walmart off I-35E and Beltline.

[michael_loomis]

please everyone.. stop getting excited about it until its ATLEAST under $2.50, or the speculation will swing again, thinking were happy with $3.95!

[pdailey]

Amen. I still remember being 16, having a Datsun 510, paying 8 bucks to fil her up at .99 cents a gallon. I'm only 32!!!! WTF

[Alex Paterson]

please everyone.. stop getting excited about it until its ATLEAST under $2.50, or the speculation will swing again, thinking were happy with $3.95!

Under 2.50, heck I will be happy anywhere under $3 a gallon. Oh ya, Diesel is $3.92 in Tucson, dwon for over $5.
