That's because you pump in Norwalk and or Stamford, those gas prices are inflated like crazy, Fairfield is much cheaper.

The best I saw was 2.49 for Regular. I have to say I love paying less than $60 for a tank for Premium. Hell, I haven't paid more than $50 in a couple weeks.

that's what it is here. it's finally nice to not have to take out a bank loan to fill up a truck or SUV.
when gas was 4 bucks you'd have 100 bucks in gas when you fuel up that monster.

Finally- regular is under $3.00 now at more than a few stations in Los Angeles. $2.75 regular/$3.03 premium @ Costco in Culver City/Marina del Rey this morning. It's the first time I've paid less than $40 to fill the TL (premium only) in well over a year. :shakehead

The down side is that there will be more traffic on the freeways during rush hour.

Don't know if it will continue to go down though. OPEC voted to cut production by 1.5 million barrels/day last week.

The latest data from users of GasBuddy.com show that prices are dipping below $2 a gallon in some parts of the USA.

The site says drivers found fuel selling for $1.93 in Harlingen, Texas, $1.94 in Lawton,Okla., and $1.98 in Huntingdon, Tenn. (We called gas stations in each of those communities. They confirmed the GasBuddy reports.)

On a national basis, AAA says the average price of regular gasoline is $2.67 a gallon.
The one thing that's really pissing me off is that a lot of stations here (not all) seem to have forgotten the ten cent increment. Regular is $2.49, but premium is $2.89 instead of the $2.69 it should be. Not cool.

I went out for lunch, $1.76 for regular, $1.96for premium.

This is South Texas and they say we have some of the cheapest gas in the nation. Ths is for Valero gas, not some off brand name.

No complaints here, $30 to fill up the TSX...

i won't use Valero due to Chavez being a fuckhead.

most people don't know Valero uses mostly Ven. gas/oil.
so if Chavez wants to bash U.S.A. i say fuck him.

Sad part about lower gas prices:

The U.S. federal gov't. will go back to sitting on their hands when it comes to future energy policy. So much for all the talk of drilling etc. When gas/oil prices drop it's back to business as usual: Do nothing.

We are a reactive gov't not proactive gov't when it comes to energy policy.
No forsight....no future planning.
We will be back again screaming about high gasoline prices again...between now and the time they go back up again, nothing will be done.

US Gov't Energy Policy = FAIL

We should definitely still be talking about off-shore drilling regardless of what the price gets down to....
