Well with the recent drop in gas prices, has anyone lowered their mileage rates or leave them alone?

Salys, since gas was a buck eighty something when Braack took office, I don't think he's going to be crowing about how he lowered the price of gas.
Dave, Chicago is famous for three things: Pizza, gangsters, and crooked politicians. Obama is not a pizza! Paul I was born in Chicago so I know all those things. And you forgot hot dogs, when I was truck driving in Chicago I knew all the best and cheapest hot dog stands that had truck parking.

Just left the gas station that was charging 2.99 a gallon. It's been awhile since it was that cheap.

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

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.

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/49642174Power 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.

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!

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?

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! Justin

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

There are some observations I've made about gas pricing.
The first is, anytime something happens from a hurricane to a bug spattering on the windshield of a tanker truck, they use it as an excuse to raise prices.
Next thing is, it doesn't even matter if the new crises disrupts anything or not, prices go up in speculation of a perceived problem.
Third, when prices go up they jump in gobs and bunches. When they go down they trickle in pennies and nickles and NEVER go back down to original.
Next is, pricing is seasonal and EVERY season has an excuse to raise prices.
But the biggest thing that's got gas slam out of reach for most of us is that guy in the white house. There are currently two pieces of paper on his desk that only require a simple signature from him that would drop the price of gas nearly 2 dollars a gallon over night! But he won't sign them!
I can not afford to lower my rates at all right now. But, I can't go up any more either. If I lower them I may as well fold up and sell off all my equipment. If I raise them then I'll be out of competition with others in my area and still have to fold up.
I even had to sell my scrap copper last week and my brass scrap yesterday just to get enough money to fill the tank and get materials to work with today.
Gasoline has got to come down significantly and SOON or the whole country is gonna fold!

Paul, Indeed there are many cars reaching up to 40+ that have more seats in them, when it comes to life, we have no kids, no dogs anymore, thus our cargo load is limited to the heavy wal-mart grocery day, or my need occasionally to test the limits of what I can put in the smart for a work project. I think for folks with kids, or greater need to haul friends and family it might not be a great choice over a 4 seater, but I have a 16.5 foot extend and climb that fits behind the seat, can put my hepa vac and all kinds of tools, compressor and materials for exclusion and since that is my main game the idea of fitting a live or dead skunk in there doesn't arise. I did however transport 2 litters of newborn skunks 2 weeks old maybe, in a large porta kennel (lab dog sized) in the back of it earlier in the year. The occasional rock squirrel capture, no problem, gophers, all day long! I can do pigeon jobs out of it to, again as long as either single story (16.5ft. ladder limit) or roof access at commercial spots. Insurance is about $40.00 a month and our financing since the smart is a mercedes like the sprinter was nearly 0%. Now combine that with what Ron said! Man this car flies, when my wife is allowed to drive I feel like I need a blindfold! Our work is mainly using the interstate to move 2-3 hours north and south and the posted speed is 75 MPH which of course puts everyone at 80-85 MPH and the smart goes all that and then some, actually is one of the negatives for me, in the sprinter I don't watch the speedometer just set the cruise to 75 or 70 to conserve on mileage, but with the smart, no cruise in our base model so sometimes I look down and realize, oh (blank) need to slow down! Love the car, the space really doesn't limit me at all, and 5-6K for 4 seats instead of 2 wasn't a priority for our particular lifestyle. I think after the expendables 2 comes out, and Arnold in all his massiveness is speeding around guns blazing, more folks will buy them, much like mini coopers and the italian job, or the fiat as Ron said, fun to drive!!! And of course, safe too! Justin

Something more,
This problem is not going to be solved with hybrids, electric cars and Transit Connects, what ever that is.
I have yet to see a Prius or a Volt that I could put racks and a drop hitch on. Do they even make them with 4-wheel drive? Many of us still need trucks. Work trucks heavy enough to carry a load and power full enough to tow a trailer. The technology is not there yet for us to abandon gasoline and diesel fuel.
Wind power, solar power and water power have there place but right now we need oil! We've got PLENTY of it but we need the government to get out of the way and let us retrieve it. We've got well more than enough to last the next 100 years! By that time someone will have come up with a better way.
Let's drill now! Let the oil workers go back to work in the gulf! Let the oil companies drill closer to shore! Build the pipeline! Lift the moratoriums! Build more refineries!
I could go on and on but I need to get out of here and burn some of that $3.38 a gallon gas to get me to my next job this morning.

Muddawg, the point about towing and power is a solid one.
I however fully believe all of the technology exists and is sat on or patents bought by folks banking on oil.
They will only change as financially it becomes lucrative.
In my case I bought the little car to save my budget not save the environment or stop drilling, however drilling is motivated by our needs and if the needs never change, we are facing way more problems.
Oil and gas are product and while supply is part of the factor, demand keeps folks rich on the selling end and keep us needing to buy pushing to allow those folks to drill more giving them more supply but still keeping us needy.
Just some thoughts, I just personally feel that when drilling can and has changed entire regions through spills and pollution I have to think about how committed the folks drilling are to our seafood supply industry, local economies and long term disease issues in people and wildlife.
I've seen trucks change in mpg and have still seen folks buying more than is actually needed, yet only getting 8-10 mpg.
It is our right as consumers, but to complain about gas daily as we all tend to would be nice to see more choosing based in need.
Just random thoughts, I feel for folks that were employed and aren't now and the local economies of these areas, while I love wildlife and nature, I do feel we can drill but more emphasis has to be placed on the long term and not just the next 100 years.

Does anyone with the new fangled green cars have any with high mileage, just wondering about the maintenance aspect, higher cost or the same as non-eco saving cars?

Trapmando - We've not had out smart long - 6 months - but the oil changes are at 10,500 miles rather than the typical scenario, they are a bit more but when you do the math on changing ever 3K it works out to the same. My mileage thus far in the automatic version of the smart runs between 42 & 50. The great thing for me is that I spend little time city driving where I live and thus my best mileage is at 75-80mph. My dad who is extremely frugal (to put it nicely) and grew up on a farm now drives in retirement a prius and loves that thing. If it cost much in maintenance he'd be the first guy parking it in the front yard with a for sale sign on it. His mileage runs between 45-52. As we all know though, your mileage does depend on how you drive that same car or truck or what have you. Lead feet and quick take offs lead to less desirable mileage. I think totally electric cars are quite a ways off, not necessarily because of the car itself, but having a place to charge etc... In downtown Albuquerque there are I believe 2 places you could pull a completely electric car up to charge it, now if I'm a potential buyer who lives far enough that I need a charge, I don't think I'm going to risk not finding a "plug." My other vehicle, the sprinter is a green diesel, same thing applies with the longer period between oil change but higher cost at that time averages out to what you'd spend at the 3K type normal vehicle maintenance. Haven't had any other issues and am over 50K on that vehicle in my first 1.7 years in business. Love the van, has DEF fluid which is new for me, but again, no biggie. Justin

If we raised our prices that drasticly I wouldn't have any work. It goes to show you that some people can get away with anything to self promote themselves. But let you or someone else do that and you will hear the bar doors close in on you.

Hey Mike Kerr, I don't know why I missed your post on the Transit Connect, but I did. Your right about it being underpowered for towing. ( I wouldn't even think about putting a hitch on mine ) As far as getting out of the way, I haven't experienced any problems with take-off speed. It's a four cylinder, I know, but it's a racing engine, so I can still hold my own against Justin's Smartcar. Ha!

Right now refineries are pumping out a surplus of gas. That gas surplus is being shipped to Europe at higher prices, keeping our current gas prices 30 cents higher than simple US supply/demand. Creating another pipeline from Canada to Texas would only increase oil company exports, keeping US gas prices even higher from world demand... not north american demand. Pumping north american oil/gas over seas faster, does not increase US oil independance ... it only decreases our American supply quicker.

Right now refineries are pumping out a surplus of gas. That gas surplus is being shipped to Europe at higher prices, keeping our current gas prices 30 cents higher than simple US supply/demand. Creating another pipeline from Canada to Texas would only increase oil company exports, keeping US gas prices even higher from world demand... not north american demand. Pumping north american oil/gas over seas faster, does not increase US oil independance ... it only decreases our American supply quicker. Thanks for sharing that sagittarius, I've heard more and more about this from as neutral sources as I can imagine, and it makes me hope that more folks hear and read about it. We all would like cheaper gas and this new oil sands pipeline has been touted as making that happen, or at least is hidden in the clothing of a positive benefit to our gas supply. If more folks knew that while it will employ pipeline workers, and will likely make some rich oilmen even richer, I bet folks may not be asking for it as much as they have been. The unfortunate thing is that while I've met and know some highly informed people that spend lots of time staying up to speed with innumerable political issues, that ultimately most of us only have the news on tv, the newspaper and whatever we actually physically see happen in our towns or cities. Most of these issues have too many moving parts for the bulk of society to grasp them, myself included. I'm always open to learning but finding an unbiased report is tough to do. Again, thanks for sharing! Justin

Just fueled up and gas went back down to 2.93 a gallon again. Maybe it will drop down alittle more for the holiday.
A trap is only a trap if you dont know about it. If you know about it, its a challenge

Yep, we're back down to $3.29 and we have a really high state tax so I guess we would be fairly close to many of you. From what I understand, the largest oil deposit discovered so far, is underneath the Rocky Mountains. We can get it with slant drilling and I hope four years from now, we do. I don't care if they sell our oil to the highest bidder; at least a bunch of Americans are making money and our enemies, not so much. If we don't like it, we can always buy stock in the oil companies. ( But maybe not BP right now )

It usually goes to the highest bidder, foreign or not.

....they are not importing the workers. Who cares if the company was incorporated elsewhere? There are 18,000 twinkie and assemblers in need of work!

"it is really hard to understand why anyone would elect a man that (sic) made the price of gas go up 17 cents in one day. " Are you implying that any elected official has the power to singlehandedly set gas prices...man, I got some oceanfront property in Arizona that I'd like to sell ya! It's the other way around, folks. Big business, and Big Oil especially, have the pols in their pockets. They work like mad every day to convince you otherwise. FOLLOW THE MONEY

Dave, so what you're saying is, if Romney had got elected, the price of gas would have gone even higher? Well guess what? If Romney got elected I might be able to afford higher gas. Dave, I'm just kidding; we have made more money every year that Obama was in office and we plan on continuing that trend. There is really one main reason that you will never see me vote Democrat again. Here goes....
Liberal Democrats are Pro-Lifers,....... for serial killers and Pro-Death for kids, both born and unborn.

Yeah, the pro-(anything but unborn babies' lives) mindset of lib's is beyond me. With regard to gas prices, I remember thinking when Dick & George's Big Iraq Adventure began, "At least we'll have cheaper gas now." WRONG!!!
