Gas Prices

[Jenny AU-92 0]

I saw $2.05 this morning, and my dad just told me it was $1.95 in Montgomery. I figure we'll fall below $2.00 by next week.

It's all George Bush's fault!!! (Since the MSM won't say that, I thought I should!!!)

Just wait until after the 2006 elections and maybe even as far as 2008 before they'll go back up, but they will rise again I'm sure of it.

Ever the optimist, thy name is Bottomfeeder.

At any rate, here in Augusta it's currently $1.95 and falling.

[Bottomfeeder 244]

Lowest price here is about $2.18. I hope pirces do stay down. I don't want to pay any more than I have to. But, Iran's has promised to raise prices, and they may do it. Isn't that why Saddam invaded Kuwait?

[MDM4AU 336]

I filled up on Monday and it was $2.18 up the road. This place is usually 2-3 cents higher than it is closer to HWY 31.

$6.95 a gallon here in Italy (on the economy). God bless socialism!

I get mine tax free, so I only pay $3.33 a gallon. We are getting a 45 cent drop in price at the beginning of the month. $2.88 a gallon!

[AURaptor 1,128]

I generally buy my gas at QT, and paid $ 2. 17 the last time I filled up. Since then, I've seen as cheap as $ 2.12 and as much as $ 2.31. It wasn't long ago that I predicted gas would be under $2.00 by Halloween. I might have been a bit late on that call.

Costs about S$79 to fill up a 10 gallon gas tank here...that's Singapore dollars....a little over US$4 a gallon..

$2.13/gallon this morning by my house.

I was in Montgomery on Tuesday night and I did see where it was $1.95 at one gas station. I filled up in Prattville on the way home and it was $2.06. That same night when I arrived home it was $2.19, and both were Shell stations. Just shows how bad we get shafted off of Highway 150.

You fill up at the Entec on 31?

This is where diesel bites. When the prices are stable, diesel does well. But when prices drop like this, it takes a while for diesel to catch up. The stations have to sell what's in their tanks first. Still $2.59 Tuesday.

On the IL side of the river, we were paying 2.30 on Sunday. Monday when I drove to KC, I filled up in Columbia, MO, and it was 1.98.

1.99 this morning in KC.

So, why is it $2.18 in southern Alabama? I thought things were supposed to be cheaper in the south. I knew it was a lie, but that big of a lie? I know I shouldn't have left up north. Wages are three times the south and cost of living is about the same. Wages should be much higher in the south to compensate for dealing with idiots and the heat, not to mention the cost of living. We'll get there, but I probably won't be here for it. I got a belly full of the southern working conditions. No mandated workman's comp, and no one to enforce labor laws, and $#!tty working conditions (NLRB is a joke everywhere, Alabama State Industrial Relations Board is even worse). What a joke. From gas prices to finding a way to make a decent living in the south without injury.

Ready to fly when you are

Ready to fly when you are

Fat chance. I'd rather die trying to improve lives of other's here than give you the satisfaction of me leaving.

What happened to the cheap-south? Wages aren't keeping up with southern taxes. And, for a liberal-mooch, such as yourself, to suggest another taxpayer leave the country just doesn't seem logical. I guess your gonna depend on the taxpayer to fund more than just your retirement, huh? What's wrong with using your degree? You talk conservative, but your actions scream liberal. You must have gotten one those useless degrees like sociology, psychology, history, or something like that. Everyone knows you must go to grad school to make a decent living with those types of degrees. Or, you can mooch off the taxpayer and have them foot the bill for the rest of your education by joining the military. That's even if you did that, while serving a twenty-year sentence protecting our corporate-owned-government (COG).

$2.69 in the beaver state and falling.

[Ranger12 46]

$2.03 here in Decatur. I was told it was a $1.99 a few miles away from me in Hartselle.

[AUTiger94 0]

$2.01 here in Cobb County and falling like a rock. At least a nickel a day for the past week!

[Tigermike 3,067]

I bought gas in Deetsville (outside of Montgomery) this morning for $1.96.

[tigerfan1234 0]

Anywhere from $2.25 to $2.70 in Orlando

[DKW 86 7,451]

2.09 for mid level grade in Decatur.

I believe that's Deatsville. Don't upset those fine folks just outside of PRATTVILLE.

$2.05 in Woodstock, GA.

You are correct on the spelling, but isn't Prattville a suburb of Millbrook?

[Jenny AU-92 0]

$1.99 in Houston. Broke $2 before Halloween. I predict $1.75-$1.80 by Christmas.

Reasons?

No hurricanes.

Chevron's big deepwater discovery in the GOM.

The news that the BP pipeline issue in Alaska is not as huge a deal as originally feared.

To answer BF's whine about the South, the reason the prices in your area may still be a bit higher than other places goes back to Hurrican Katrina damage, and once again, the simple law of supply and demand. Most of the gas in the South is produced at refineries in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast. Many of those refineries were heavily damaged by Katrina and area only just now coming back on line. Those facilities refine oil pumped through pipelines that run offshore. Those pipelines were also severely damaged by Katrina, as were the production platforms to which they are attached. When I mean "severely damaged", I mean pipeline twisted like shoelaces around collapsed platforms in 500 feet of water on the bottom of the GOM. Many are leaking and even the ones that weren't breached still have to be repaired. My company does dive work, and we have had to hire divers from South Africa, the UK and Singapore to come to the US under special work visas to help us with the incredible volume of repair work we have on schedule. Divers are making so much money right now it is sick. So the gasoline supply to the South is not yet back to pre-Katrina production levels.

As for the rest of it, BF, if you were up North, you'd be bitching about crime or the weather or some other equally vapid issue. You are one of those people who will never ever be happy regardless of location or condition. So go put your tin foil hat back on, watch the test pattern on the tv, and see if you get any more communications from the men in black helicopters. If they tell you to return to the mothership, let us know and we'll front you the money for the plane ticket. Heck, I'll bet CCTAU would even give you a ride to the airport, so you wouldn't even have to pay for gas.

You know you is all wrong for saying that. Prattville always trumps Millbrook.

I would buy BF a gas-saving bus ticket. I know he would protest at riding in my big gas-guzzler.
