PETROLPHOBIA (Page 35/66) maryjane NOV 13, 12:23 AM $3.07 here--Exxon, Texaco, and Valero. USFiero NOV 16, 10:54 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: $3.07 here--Exxon, Texaco, and Valero. Yep, getting down in that range here too. Wonder how long it will last? I must be accepting that sub-$3 a gallon gas may never return... maryjane NOV 17, 08:40 AM quote Originally posted by USFiero: Yep, getting down in that range here too. Wonder how long it will last? I must be accepting that sub-$3 a gallon gas may never return... My brother drove down from Arkansas this week. Said he saw gas for $2.99 in a couple places along the way.. heybjorn NOV 17, 09:52 AM 2.99 here this AM. However will those huge petroleum corporations survive? USFiero NOV 26, 07:57 AM Well, after 'bottoming out' around $3.06 - $3.09 the prices has risen back to about a dime per gallon higher. Not quite as low as last year at this time, but certainly not as high as it was a few months ago. maryjane NOV 26, 10:12 AM $2.99 at a Conoco in Dayton Texas. (25 miles south of me) $3.65 on Bolivar Peninsula. Still 3.07--$3.09 here locally. Diesel is 3.65 out on the main highway. USFiero DEC 10, 08:23 AM The news is full of 'Gas Prices Crash!' headlines, but really we are right around the same prices we were last year - which were putting a hurt on the economy. So I don't see this as an improvement, but at least they aren't rising as they did year over year. Local prices are between $3.09 - $3.14/gal. cliffw DEC 10, 09:14 AM I can get gas for $2.97 here in Kerrville but it is $3.59 in Seminole where I work at present. The demographics are not much different as far as nearby refineries go. dratts DEC 10, 11:00 AM Just drove from Idaho to mid califonia. Prices from 3.15 to 3.63. Why such a disparity? They weren't that far apart either. I often see two stations right next to each other with a twenty cent difference. Why would anyone pay the higher price? Gasoline is gasoline. As long as people are willing to ignore competition, someone will be willing to overcharge. Competition will only work to bring down prices if we shop. I have noticed though that when prices go up it is almost universally the same in my area. I'm not saying that there is price fixing going on but maryjane DEC 10, 02:30 PM Been holding steady here, $3.05-$3.09 since late Oct. Occassionally see it lower-not higher except in Houston proper, and down on Galveston Isle/Bolivar Peninsula--where everything is at a premium..
