I got gas at 2.67 sunday here in jackson,Michigan and now I see its 2.64 ?
will they ever make up thier minds. ? 3 weeks ago it was over 3 bucks and I went to riding the harley to cardiac rehab for 3 weeks just to save gas money but it takes mid grade and cost me 14.50 every 200 miles......

Geeze, I though we were doing well at $2.68 here! Did ya ever think that gas under $2.75 would be a bargain?

Boy you guys have all the luck. It just made it down to $2.73 here
Some days it\'s not worth chewing through the restraints.

Gas is 2.68 here in Mid Missouri. They raise the price to the point of * everyone off and then back it down a few cents to make you think you are getting a deal. I sure miss the days of 19.9

Do I win a prize? Gas prices here in Vicksburg, MS just went down today to $2.85 finally a break from $2.97 yesterday. I have been driving to the Jackson, MS area about 45 minutes away and filling up for $2.64 at Kroger and $2.71.

I was suprised back in May when I left home paying $2.77 and it got cheaper the closer I got to Springfield, MO. The lowest I paid that trip was $2.46 and as I went back home the $2.77 price was there waiting on me to get back home.

The Louisville trip was cheaper on gas than I figured it would be except when they raised it overnight. Within 24 hours, it went from $2.84 to $3.18 ouch!

No matter, I'm still driving. And to think we were in shock last year at Louisville when we saw prices as high as $2.45

A street rod is a vehicle made before 1949 that is modified with modern stuff: bigger motors; newer trans; updated suspension, front & rear; a/c.
Following is a street rod plus definition: No known definition because it changes.

The oil companies should be elated....they are recording record profits and they have the general public getting excited about gas being under $3 per gallon :roll:  I do not think the average person has any idea the overall impact this has had on our economy.I'm still driving also...but...I don't like it!

Got down to $2.64 with the Kroger card here, just in time to go to Frog Follies.

Today's fuel price here is $1.129 per litre. at today's exchange rate, that leaves it at $3.85 per US Gallon. That is down a couple pennies from earlier in the week. That's crazy! We are sitting atop billions of barrels of the stuff right in this area.

Filled up for $2.55 yesterday!!  Hope it lasts!

As always in Europe we win the gas price comparaison. Here in France the unleaded is at  1.32€ a liter at the supermarket station, where it's the less expensive.  At 1.28$ for 1€ and 3.78 liter a gallon the price is......

:cry:   :cry:  :cry: 6.40 US$ per gallon... :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

and near 7$ per gallon on the motorway!!! :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  

And I know it's even more expensive in England and northern Europe countrys!!!

This summer I did a lot less kilometers with the 32 roadster than the previous years. Even at 21/ 23 MPG due to the overdrive (and a very light right foot) the long trips cost a fortune. And we have to pay toll on motorway too!!

Fortunetly the average small french car that I drive everyday (when I don't use my bicycle)  consumes 6 liters for 100 kilometers, the equivalent of 40 MPG.
