I was thinking that the pres was flooding the market with the strategic oil reserves. Just a guess.

Just paid $3.29 in W. Michigan

here comes sandy should be 4.25 by friday

we just went from $3.22 to $3.58 in a matter of 2 hours. Does that sound like a rip-off or what?

Paid $3.21 In Brook County GA today. Gas was 3.59 in Columbia County FL on Friday afternoon.

I think its as simple as One Delaware and all of these NJ Refineries shutting down and the fuel redirected in the SE . Hurricanes kind of change the course of those Super Petro Tankers. Look for possible shortages in the NE until these refineries re-open.

New Jersey

Bayway Refinery (Phillips 66), Linden 230,000 bbl/d (37,000 m3/d)
Eagle Point Refinery (Sunoco), Westville closed 2010 145,000 bbl/d (23,100 m3/d)
Paulsboro Asphalt Refinery (NuStar Energy), Paulsboro 51,000 bbl/d (8,100 m3/d)
Paulsboro Refinery (PBF Energy Corporation), Paulsboro 160,000 bbl/d (25,000 m3/d)
Perth Amboy Refinery (Chevron), Perth Amboy 80,000 bbl/d (13,000 m3/d)
Port Reading Refinery (Hess), Port Reading 70,000 bbl/d (11,000 m3/d)

It's as low as $3.02/gallon today in Missouri, home of dumb tobacco fiends who don't want infrastructure.
But it sure is a pretty state!

Paid $3.59 in my hometown today. Gas is nearly $.25 cheaper then the prices all summer long.

Gas Prices are probably still high in the storm affected areas http://www.cnbc.com/id/49642174

Power outages at hundreds of gas stations and a distribution bottleneck due to flooding damage and power loss has caused a gasoline shortage in the New York metropolitan area that may not be cleared up for at least a week, according to industry experts.

Robb, just paid 2.95 a gallon here at the beach. Seems this area has the cheapest gas from what everyone else is posting.

Down to $2.90 here.

Thanks BigBob, very usefull

Back up to $3.46 today, in my area of Mi.

We bought a smart car about 5 months ago, our primary a sprinter cargo van gets about 20mpg (green diesel),
the smart gets 44-50 and I don't have to mind the speed to get good mileage. Now for all inspections that are
single story and a ton of meetings and consultations, all get done with the smart.

Yesterday, had an attic clean out 3 hours from the office, only needed tyvek, respirator, gloves, lots of contractor
bags and my lunch money, saves a ton of loot! Fun to drive too!

Know that most of you handle skunks and lovely smellin critters all day so not as practical, but man, I have a much
better feeling when gas prices rise now!

Still hope they drop soon!

And just when I was beginning to like you.
A smart car, really? Go ahead and turn in your man card. LOL

Justin, I guess my question is why not a car that gets the same mileage, costs about the same, and you can actually get an entire raccoon cage inside of it?

I guess he pulls a Winkelman and let's the skunks ride on his lap.

Lol!

It is sometimes like a clown car, which Dave S. referred to it as on .info, but man I love it!

Didn't think I would, but when you pass the diesel, dually guzzler on the highway and
they go from smiling to remembering how 8mpg goes, it makes it worthwhile!

Didn't think it would be comfortable either for 6ft. 2in, but it is way more comfortable than
my sprinter van!

I MUST respond..... Bought my wife a new Fiat 500 Sport about 6 weeks ago for her 50th birthday. I am constantly making excuses and finding any reason imaginable to drive it. It is an absolute blast to drive. It looks forward to direction changes as it handles like a racing cart. Gets around 40 MPG (it's a 5-speed, the only way to go), and is miles ahead of the typical commuter-type sub-compacts in styling and cockpit design. Certainly not a "fast" car, but considering the mileage and fun factor I'd have a hard time finding something in that price range that I would even consider.

Ron, going fast is entirely excusable we all like go karts nothing at all wrong with that. Just don't try to strap a ladder on it. LOL

I was in St Louis yesterday and on the way home we found gas @ $2.94 and Joplin was at $3.24 today. Never thought I'd see it dip below $3 again in my lifetime.

$2.85 in one spot here.
