Its a miracle!

I'm actually excited about filling up now. For the past year, everytime I would fillup my tank and enter it into my ScanGauge, I would keep setting the fillup price higher and higher. For the first time in a year, I actually was able to drop it! Last week was an average of $4.17/gal. Now check it out!



I'm holding off as long as possible until I actually top off because its been dropping a few cents every day and is supposed to keep dropping down to an expected $3.50/gal here in Fla!

Well this is low for rural Florida. Big cities might have it lower.

I filled up for $105.55 with $3.95 a gallon conoco 93 octane. It'll be nice to run the PHP 93 perf tune again.

This is what makes prices never go down... people jump up and down when gas hits 3.60 or close to it... why should oil companys lower gas even more when you guys are so happy with how they are now? I mean just a year ago today gas was 2.69. Gas is still extreamly high when compared to even a year ago. But its people who jump up and down now when gas is 3.60 and won't go down more becuase of u

That's ridiculous. They have us by the...wallet, any way you look at it. If the tank's empty I'll fill up, just like I did when I was 15.

A carton of cigs is $75-$90 here. Massachusetts really likes to stick it too the smokers, the ones who can least afford the huge tax.

Gas is $3.85-$3.95/gal here. Again, Massachusetts, huge tax.
