Dont worry...some low level worker on an oil platform in Latvia will catch a cold or something and prices will go RIGHT back up.

Down from 2.03 to 1.80 in two weeks in the SF bay area, while in Buffalo (where I was for the last week) it is 1.95!

Good news... That extra 20 bucks a week was really starting to "break" me. That is money I can save!

The fact is, the prices were artificialy high dureing the lecetion. I fully expected them to come back down to reasonable levels by the first of the year.

You may want to shop around a little for your gas.

Right - anyone who thinks this little dip is going to last long is kidding themselves.

The price of gas is going down due to the fact that there is going to be warm weather in the northeast, therefore decreasing demand for gas, according to a cnn article I read on my cell yesterday.

And it got so high a few months ago because of the expectation of high winter demand...now that that demand hasn't materialized, it's lower. Such are the things that move markets...

But I thought it was going to go lower before the election.

The Saudis didn't keep up their end of the conspiracy.

Though not to hear my sister-in-law talk about it. "I work in the oil industry. I see all the memos explaining how we have to invade different countries to take their oil!" dry.gif

so wouldn't that be a decrease in the price of natural gas? i can't imagine someone trying to heat their house with 87 octane gasoline

Actually, mostly through the NE, they still heat with heating oil... Which in all essence is off-road diesel fuel. tongue.gif tongue.gif


Techies out there? Am I correct in this fact?

well, regardless, i'd also like to know why the hell natural gas prices keep shooting up...it comes from canada! not the middle east...it's not like there are insurgents there blowing up pipelines...and the damn commercials that come on all the time telling us that it's such a huge resource that is bountiful and clean...and then the prices keep shooting up

i've got my house set at 64F during the day and 62F at night!

Taxing their way to prosperity is a worthy endeavor.

Buffalo, which is always higher, is down to $1.87 as of yesterday. Was $2.30 not long ago.
sweet baboo
Buffalo has been lower than Rochester for quite some time now...whenever I go to Buffalo, I make sure to fill up before I leave because the gas is always cheaper by a large margin there
CurseOfJauronExtension
I filled up here in Central New Jersey last night for $1.67 a gallon
