It was like around 1.50, maybe a bit less when I started driving. Not much though. I remember filling my tank for like 25 bucks. Divide that by 16 and that\'s what I was paying (too lazy to do it :) ). I paid 2.53 today and it was 30 bucks. I was happy.

I remember back when this gas station here in my town used to have 75 cent tuesdays (gas was around 93 cents or so back then).

At least it\'s going down right now... it peaked around here at 2.89 or so... right now I can get some for 2.51

After Labor Day = summer\'s over = less driving = less demand & more supply = prices go down

When they were really dirt cheap several years ago it was .69 at one station near my old pad.  .72 - .74 everywhere else.

it\'s cheaper,..but it\'s amazing how a few years back i stated "if gas goes over 2.50 - 3.00 i\'ll stop driving"....regular down here is about 2.50...but prem is about 2.71 which is what i use for the lex...the metro and the expedition gets mid grade which is about 1.64...anything is better than payin\' 3.30 - 3.40 for premium tho..

It was 2 bucks here a few months ago. It\'s like 6-7 bucks on average in Europe. We have it easy here in the states.

I remember that one very brief period of time years ago when it was down to 99 cents in California. That was sweet.

That\'s one problem with Europe; they get taxed to HELL which hurts progress in the private sector.

I guess after the summer, demand is lower and supplies are higher. That\'s good I guess, considering it was supposed to go up 50 cents after they shut down the pipeline.

How much was the price a year ago?

Post by: GmanJoe on September 11, 2006, 11:38:48 AM
Found out it was about 30 cents more expensive. Almost $3 a gallon a year ago. With the gobs of oil in the Gulf recently found and the fact that it\'s now September...I\'ll be happy again to see the prices back to normal leves of about $1.70 a gallon.
