Price of gas update...

Re: Price of gas update...
That said, given the energy policy in DC, I am not sure that there's much downside for prices now.

93 octane is mostly in the $4.00-$4.20 range locally ATM, though I haven't put any gas in my BMW for several weeks - I was a paying around $4.60 - $4.80 about a month ago. We'll be taking the BMW on a trip to visit family in VA in a few weeks, and I will start using it for the school run again in 10 days too, so I'm pleased to see the recent drop in the cost of 93.

Wow, today we filled up for $5.19 / gal ('no-name' off-brand station); honestly can't remember when it was last this low! This is in the Bay Area. Costco is $5.19 also; unusual to find a place selling gas for the same price as Costco.
Look at this map - prices range from $5.19 to $6:19 in the space of just a mile or so:
I must say, I can't imagine who buys the most expensive stuff when you can drive a short distance for a $1 saving!

Don't let them fool us guys, while gas is dropping it's still expensive compared to the 1.90 I was paying in the midwest before rises. Still more than 2x expensive that what was being paid before currently.

Crude recently went below 100 a barrel, and will (hopefully) continue to decline. US has little influence over OPEC, so in general terms, I don't feel fooled, just happy the price is going down.

Prices seem to have held fairly steady here the last two weeks, a few more stations dotted around at $3.199 can be found but prices over the three or four counties in my daily commute are generally between $3.24 and $3.40.
I nearly choked when I drove past a station, a few days ago, that had regular ending in .999, was getting all excited and then realised that it was at $3.99 not $2.99 - there's always one stubborn hang out trying to grab...

Your Circle-K advertises the standard price and then knocks off the EasyPay discount? I had a right ding dong with a staff member a while back up here in SC because the road sign only displayed the EasyPay prive and I realised half way through fill up that I was paying over the local going rate and not the advertised price...

I haven't signed up for Easypay but may consider it. This is a new gas station right next to work and, so far, are very competitive, even without Easypay.
