The sticker price at a local BP was down to $1.969 yesterday - and the Kroger discount this month was only 20¢, but filling up our vehicles at $1.769 isn't to be sniffed at.

One of the last times I ever saw gas under 2/gallon. The sign says 1.59/1.69/1,79

I paid $1.999 yesterday, but it was on it's way up again as my usual cheap station had already jumped to $2.069.

Up to $2.199 locally at all gas stations

This accident took place in January 2000 at Burbank Airport. I just looked up L.A. County average prices, and unleaded regular stayed under $2.00 until 2005. BTW, gas is lower than a year ago.

BUR has two runways. Generally, takeoffs are going south on the long runway while landings are eastbound on the short runway. This landing was too fast on the short runway.

The local BP station was down to $1.899 today.

Will never see that where I am....

Even if the taxes were removed it wouldn't get that low....

Just filled up here in Phoenx $2.09 it jumped from the previous week of $1.89. Every where else is 2.33 and up.

I just filled up at Sam's this afternoon. $1.61 a gallon

Pulaski

It'd jumped up to $2.189 when I got gas for my leaf blower this afternoon.

I wonder if this is the week they close the refineries to switch them over to producing winter grade gas? There is always a week aroud this time of year when the price of gas spikes.

It is high around here at $1.89 and upwards. That's why when Sam's was selling for $1.61, I filled up my car with all of nearly 9 gallons

Topped off on Tuesday at $1.90 in anticipation of Hurricane Delta. Then it went the other way. Louisiana getting pummeled again.

It's still $1.74-$1.79 around here.

By Friday morning (Oct 9) it was back down to $1.999, and later in the day had dropped another 1c. On Saturday morning another station I passed on the way to Home Depot, was at $1.899. .... which makes me think that last week may indeed have been a semi-annual "reconfigure the refineries" spike.

Went down a bit to 1.09 per liter. Notice diesel is below a dollar at 99.7 cents per liter.


There was a public inquiry into gas prices last year after hitting all time highs pushing 1.70 liter in some areas, and the inquiry basically found that there is no functioning competitive market in gasoline, BC gas market is a oligopoly that behaves as a monopoly and that while only 5% of gas is imported from the US, that 5% is the driving factor of the wholesale price.

So was no surprise to consumers, we already knew it was basically a monopoly, doesn't take an expert to see, the evidence was apparently on the signs in front of the gas stations with every station offering the same price, with the occasional station being 1 cent less.
