Gas Prices = $2.34?

I just filled up last night for $2.34 a gallon in Houston, and I was wondering if anyone else is finding gas this cheap right now? What are the prices out there that everyone is finding?

Same here in Fargo...$2.34.9 :)

2.39 here in southern IN, across the bridge from Louisville, KY

2.49 in Biloxi, MS

I paid $2.55 in the middle of Illinois last weekend, and just now I paid $3.29 (for Premium) in the city (Chicago). A month ago regular was $3.59 in the suburbs here...

Prices just dipped under $3 in my part of town. :_mecker:

Cheap now? Yeah, then next time it'll peg around $3.10 to $3.20 a gallon and everyone will think $2.69 is cheap. After that the spike will be maybe around $3.50 and back down to say $2.75 and all will be happy again. See the trend?

Never in the history of the reciprocating engine have we ever needed fossil fuels. They weren't even designed for it! :mad:

Okay, okay... stepping away from the soap box... :p

I've been preaching this logic to friends & family and nobody seems to agree with this notion; I even went so far as to predict to the penny where gas would fall last year to some buddies at work...thought Katrina would throw a monkey wrench in my prediction but low and behold after the refineries were back up to speed I hit it right on the head..even had people email me asking "how did you know?"

I'm predicting a rock-bottom low of $2.199 in my parts before it begins marching back up to $3.099-$3.199 by next summer.

kiss under $2.00 a gallon days goodbye!

My take on these new "low" gas prices? One word: elections.
These lower gas prices are directly related to the fact that alot of these politicians that are in the pocket of the big oil companies are about to be voted out by fed up voters. I think this is a last ditch effort and attempt at brainwashing us into forgiving these crooks and preserving the friends they have on Capitol Hill. I for one ain't falling for it.

Cape Cod, MA - $2.95/gal

I'll 2nd that notion. Seems like an act of desperation if they're willing to forego that kind of $$$. Of course, in the long-run comparatively, it'd probably just be a drop in the bucket....or barrel as the case may be.

paid 2.83 the other day here in Central Cali

Viva la tulsa...Home of the cheapest gas prices in the nation. $2.27 :p

3.03 by me....

Best price I've saw here in Oregon yesterday is $2.83 and I drove through 7 cities yesterday.

Side note: I would like to recommend the following podcast: "WICN's This new car". It is a 13 week (13 episode) special edition of the Business Beat. A roundtable discussion on hybrid vehicles and alternative fuel technologies. With the dependence on high-priced fuel and ecological concerns, this show comes at the perfect time to educate consumers. What's worth it and what's not.

Have you heard that the price of gas in the U.S. is cheap compared to the International rate of $5 to $6 a gallon?

Have you heard that the U.S. government is considering emposing a $2 to $3 per gallon tax on the gas we buy? This is an effort to raise our awareness of our dependancies on oil, generate revenue for improving mass transit, and to get us to drive less, which will improve our air quality.
