I've heard it was under $2 in the valley. We're still hovering in the $2.20's. It's amazing how the old supply and demand thing works out. Seems like someone took away a major campaign issue with the drill here drill now crowd left out in the cold.

Weird how things work. On Friday, as I was headed w/ the marching band for San Antonio for Area comp., I saw in a Three Rivers Valero, gas was $2.75 and there was a Valero refinery right across the street.

It's not a normal thing for Gas purchases, but most all of the Diesel prices you see displayed on the billboards is a "Cash Only" price. Once you get to the pump and swipe your card the amount per gallon will change. What's scary to think about is how much tractor/trailer drivers carry in cash to fill up their rigs.

Thanks for the idea kidding when you buy gas here you collect points and you can trade some in for a discount card that knocks it down 5 cents and another 2 cents if payed with the master card while still getting points we dropped another penny oooh so now @1.119 pr litre - so I get for 1.049 for regular 87%

Almost... *almost*... under $2 for regular here...

How crazy is that... we were almost at $4 here... never quite got there... but in 5 months? Sheesh... this is amazing, if a little bit depressing, if you'll pardon the unintended, but now quite obvious, pun.

Yeah. The economy must really be in the crapper for price to be this low this fast. OMG they're gonna shut down refining so as not to overproduce if we don't watch it.

Wait hold on, You're complaining about the low gas prices? A couple of days ago people were complaining how high gas prices were, and now that they're low, its because the economy sucks (totally agree in that though). However, I believe its not overproduction, its the price of the oil barrel thats dropping. Take advantage of this and enjoy your Mustangs

It's true, it's not overproduction, but I heard they were actually going to shut down/retool some refining capacity,and not for the usual winter mix reasons. I wish they'd get some diesel production going because that would really help everyone too.

It just goes to show you how much of that $4 a gallon "ZOMG you guys need to shut up and take it like a man because gas will never come down" was inflated pricing. Where's the shortage now?

Let's all go buy about a 10,000 gallons and store it in the ground right now before Obama becomes president.

Let's not forget people we still need to drill here and drill now.
