Yea, gas was down to $3.54 here, but went up (though oil dropped) and is floating back into the $3.50 range. It's a start. Only $2.00 more to go (aaaaaahahhahahahahhahahahahaha.....like we'll see that again).

ALL OF YOU SUCK!!!
Seems in the Bay Area we are the LAST to see prices drop....and when they do, they NEVER get to where you all talk about.....and the FIRST to see prices rise....and when they do, they are ALWAYS higher than any you complain about...... We are still in the high $4 range..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) |

They drove the price up speculating increased consumption over the middle of the summer, but the reserves actually increased instead of decreased. I filled up my truck up 2 weeks ago for $3.82/gallon. Drove right past all the stations in the nicer parts of town showing $4.09/gallon and filled up at a name brand station in the ghetto. I love ghetto gas. |

Ghetto Gas (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) That's an awesome name, actually. I'm going to start a whole chain of them... That could be my first radio commercial.

Hydrocarbons in the 'hood
If you're going to do that, just call the place "Stop and rob". |

Here in Santa Cruz, Costco 87 was $4.15 yesterday. It's come down about $.50 in the last 2 weeks. My price hedge has been to put $30 in the tank every 3-4 days - when it starts heading up again I'll fill the 34g tank.
