    In the past 10 days, some stations in this area (Belleville, IL) have gone from $3.099 down to $2.979, then back up to $3.039.

    Go figure.

    Enjoy it while it lasts. Venezuela is crying about how they can't run their Socialist Utopia with the prices as low as they are now. OPEC will be slowing production soon.

    Gas prices ALWAYS go down before elections and go back up after.

    The price is going to continue to drop and then hold at aroung 60-70 dollars a barrel. That is below the breakeven point for fracking oil which is around 75 or so. It will hold there for the next year or two. After the fracking companies mothball their equipment, or go out of business, the oil will again start creeping up. We've been through this before.

    I found this...

    Consider that the average price of a regular gallon of gas at U.S. pumps was $1.85 when Bush was sworn in for his second term in January 2005 and $1.84 when Obama took office in January 2009 on the promise of change, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

    Adjusting for inflation, prices rose to $2.52 (Bush) and $2.53 (Obama) seven months into their terms, $2.76 and $2.71, respectively, nearly two years in and $3.27 each three years in. This month, gas is $3.85, more than a dime cheaper than at this point during Bush's second term when adjusted for inflation.

    The average, through 45 months in office? Obama: $3.04; Bush's second term: $2.98.

    BTW, saw it down at $2.67 yesterday.

    I don't know why it's gone down, but if it goes up,...I'm blaming Obama

    It's going down because fracing has caused a big increase in oil supplies, and because of that you have the low life greedy speculators bailing out of the commodity market on oil before they lose their satin shirts.

    Now that is the first lucid comment you've made in the past few weeks.

    $3.21 in CA, but it would be lower but California just enacted a "Carbon footprint tax" on gasoline. They lucked out. The tax HIT right when the price of Gas plummeted, so NO ONE HERE noticed the new tax. If it had hit at the PEAK prices everyone would have freaked out. Now we're stuck with a new gas tax and there is no political outcry at all because literally nobody noticed it due to the price drop.

    So, oil prices are plummeting to lows not seen in years. Gasoline prices are falling making it so much nicer to fill up the tank. Just before the election. Coincidence? Make things seem so nice that they forget what is really going on, and once the election is over, watch out because if a certain group takes over congress, the last two years of King Barack will make the first 6 look like a cake walk.

    Still sinking!
    Several stations in the area were $2.819 this morning but dropped to $2.799 this afternoon!

    Why couldn't this have happened during the summer travel season?!?!?

    This morning, while driving through town, I noticed gas has dropped to $2.69. The radio said that in some places in VA, gas prices have dipped below $2.00.

    This is pretty good, but I have an idea OPEC is trying to undercut American prices so we will stop trying to produce our own oil and gas.... This could come back to bite us in the ass.
