$1.99 per gallon? I would have tried to buy the station for that price. I cant even remember the last time I saw a $1.99 gallon price. That was like 1999.

Unfortunately that's where I use to hang out most weekend. The dumpling place there is great. I used to eat there once every 2 weeks, now its once every 6 weeks.

Don't you have a company car that you can drive during work hours? I figure that you'd only drive your car for the weekend?

Look this statistics!!~

"Sales of the perennial best-selling SUV, the Ford Explorer, dropped by 58% compared with September 2004. Its larger kin, the Ford Expedition, which gets 14 mpg in city driving, saw sales drop 61%. Ford stopped producing its even larger SUV, the Excursion, last month.

GM’s full-size SUVs, due to be replaced with more fuel-efficient models next year, fell 56%. Sales of its Hummer H2 – so heavy it doesn’t fall under the EPA’s fuel-mileage ratings system -- were off by 31%, but the brand’s smaller new SUV, the H3, is off to a brisk start. It’s rated at 16 mpg in city driving.

Toyota moved 46% fewer of its immense Sequoia sport-utilities, rated at 15 mpg city, and sales of its smaller SUVs were off sharply as well. Sales of Honda’s largest SUV, the Pilot, fell 26%. Nissan sold 20% fewer of its 13-mpg Armadas"

You got to love when crude oil goes down $2.00* a barrel yesterday (almost), and gas prices don't budge. The other day when hurricane Rita, caused "FEARS" of an oil shortage, crude oil went up 2%, gas immediately jumped 5% -- imagine that.

*Gas in California doesn't correspond to the trends of the rest of the US due to their stringent specs.

... and California relies on its own refineries, not the ones on the gulf coast. So gulf coast refinery shutdowns shouldn't affect California gas prices.

I filled up my CL-S two days ago, and it cost me $52.67, at that time the gas over here is $3.79 per gallon, and today the same gas station is selling the same gas for 3.99. I wish my TSX can get here soon.

What the hell? Gas prices in NJ seems very stable. It's actually progressively declining (cent every 4 days or so )...

$3.05/Premium
$2.85/Regular
