Low Gasoline Prices

Yesterday, I filled up with 14 gals of Premium 91 at Sam's Club @ $1.06/gal. That's has got to be the lowest price I have ever paid for premium gasoline anywhere, anytime in my entire lifetime, as far as I can remember.

91 Octane is correct, and they have laws about quality of gas, for sure you're not going to find gas "Watered Down", that's what they do with alcohol.. Back on topic, we're still up at $1.50's for
premium in CO..

I smell something bad is about to happen with US economy, the gas prices are suspicously low..... it is not a good sign
Its a sign of increased OPEC production, and lower demand by American consumers because people don't go out very offten this days....

Our SAMS clubs don't sell gas.

My local Mobile stations are all selling 93-octane for about 1.30 right now.

On my trip down to Florida last week I paid anywhere from 1.35 to 1.45 along RT-95 which is usually MUCH more expensive then the less convenient stations.

$1.289 at Shell (93) here in Ohio. Unbelievable prices. I saw regular (87) for $1.019 just a few days ago! At least it's giving us a bit of a break for the time being (don't worry, it won't last.)

I need to move. At the Mobil station by my apartment building, it's $1.62 for Super. The DC/MD/VA metro area has some of the highest gas prices in the country.

Hmmm... That actually makes esnse. aEver hear the expression, 'Its quiet, too quiet?' Granted things aren't quiet, but there are a few things that don't seem right. Gas prices so low, unemployment so high... Those of you who were around in the early 80's what was it like right before that recession?
