$2/gallon gas by Thanksgiving?

It's possible, but not likely. But it looks like there's going to be a little relief at the pump in the coming months.

Re: $2/gallon gas by Thanksgiving?

Yeah, over in EP it's been around the $2.70 ($2.69 @ BP on Mitchell Rd). I hope it stays around that point, or even goes down more.

Re: $2/gallon gas by Thanksgiving?

it is down to 2.87 for mortal gas and 2.99 for me.


if it gets below 2.50 for premie. I'll run down the street naked.


something is odd when the prices drop BEFORE labor day. The oil bubble might bust as forbes said.

Re: $2/gallon gas by Thanksgiving?

I saw gas for 2.66/gallon two weeks ago when I drove up form texas. In some of the small towns in northeast texas and arkansas (texarkana area) they have it for really cheap. I'm sure it's aleady at 2.20 there.

I wonder how long it'll last.

You guys have it made. It was 3.15 for the longest time here in central WI. It's finally down to 2.92. Premium was 3.30 and now 3.12.

Re: $2/gallon gas by Thanksgiving?

2.66 in Blaine! Plus I usually mix half E85 in the tank too, and that's at like 2.10 or something.

It was 2.50 in Cleveland 2 weeks ago.

That probably had alot to do with the huge forcasted storms on the coast. Apparently they did little to no damage to anything that matters. I am not sure exactly what motivates gas prices, but politics and weather seems to have alot to do with it.

Re: $2/gallon gas by Thanksgiving?

I can't believe the discrepancies. I just paid $3.26 for 92 near Duluth and some of you people are finding low to mid $2. Crazy.

Where can I find these magical brakes you speak of? Cause I need a tranny too.

I don't need a whole one, you can just brake me off a piece.

I gave a highway worker a brake once, and he threw it back at me.

Needless to say the window did brake.
