How's your gas?

Just wondered if diesel is following gas prices down.  That's what will help prices for everything else we buy.

The Government email I get every week has been delayed a day due to Columbus Day, but as of last Monday the national average was $3.875.  That's down from $4.764 on 7/14.  It's worth noting that in July the price differential between Gas and Diesel was at an all time high.  Normally the highest differential for the year is during the heating months because so much of the Northeast heats with oil.  Could it be the oil companies realized that if Gas went higher they'd pay heck in the court of public opinion, but they figured they were safe to jack up the Diesel price?

This week's national average is down $.216/gal to $3.659.  It's trending downward but not as quickly as gasoline.  And you're right, that will at least keep prices for everything else we buy from going up as quickly.

[wayne petty]

correction... it was 445....  it is now 3.69...   still high...

but much better...   it was the higher price 2 days ago...

It was $4.18/gal here a couple days after the last hurricane (Ike). It has been dropping steadily, and went down $.19 this morning to $2.93. I thought I'd never see sub-$3 gas ever again. The problem is that my retirement funds are dropping even faster.

i think      that in the near future (less then 5 years) we will see sub-$2 gas, some will disagree but i think it'll get there.

 That would be nice and may be a possibility. I have said all along that gas shouldn't be over $2.50 a gal. The one thing we have going for us is the adversity in the mid east. Back stabbing is a way of life there and any agreement they come too in regards to price setting and pumping volumne always falls part rather quickly. Now if we can keep the oil prices falling and get the stockmarket rising life will be better. My wife has Friday off and I'm retired now (I just like to keep saying that) so with the price of gas lower now we are planning on just taking a drive like we used to. The fall colors are peaking here and it's been a few years since we've done a color tour.
BTW gas here is like a yo-yo. But it's at $2.82 at some stations; I've seen the same station with three different prices in about eight hours. at one staion we go by we have twice seen a gal out front with binoculars looking up the road at the next staion to check prices!!!

I bought gas yesterday at a Casey's general store for $2.799.  It's on the way to the new place I'm moving into.  The town where I'm moving to is still $2.889, but diesel is $3.50.
