I went by this bad part of the neighborhood over the weekend and I saw a gas station that displayed $1.50.
Then I realized it was run down and probably some kind of crack house now.
-
The cheapest I've seen in the greater Seattle area is $2.77. It's still over $3 in Seattle proper, though.
It's pretty crazy, gas has dropped about 60 cents a gallon over the last week.
-
it's $3.29 here in California. ;_;
-
Still about $3 here in NC. Or at least it was on Sunday.
-

It's like 2.89 here in NEPA.

I'm all for public transportation, my wife takes the bus to work every day. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. :(
-
No way im driving my car to a bus stop so I can sit on a bus that stops a bunch for 20+ miles. I drive somewhere to carpool, thats at least a little faster.

We live near a large park and ride, and there are numerous bus stops near our house. The proposed light rail station on Roosevelt is about three blocks from our house, which will be AWESOME.
My problem is that I need a car during the day, since I work at multiple buildings.
-
My commute is just kinda stupid. Too bad tho cause I love Mill Creek. Only people who have it worse live in Everett
-
I live in NY, but only live 3 miles from the PA border where gas is 2.949 vs ny'S 3.299. Tough choice.
-
Thank god gas is below 3 bucks a gallon. Now I can go buy that suv I have been eyeing.
It has been under 3 dollars in Kentucky for a few weeks now. Of course, I drive a a scooter and ride a bike to work so I don't give a shit until food prices start going down too. I have been paying almost 50% more at the grocery store lately...with a wife and two kids it sucks.
-
WHAT? fuck you guys, its like 3.29 here in California

"The era of cheap oil is finished," Iran's Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari boasted on Tuesday.
When asked what price Iran would want for its oil, Nozari declared, "The more the better."

Lowest I've seen around the Seattle area is $2.31, but that was on Friday. I'm sure it's dropped since then.
-
I just put $20 in my car an hour ago @ $2.59 just across the border in PA. $2.79 in my town in NY.
-
I saw it for $1.98.
Reelect George Bush. :bow2
-
It's still 2.09 here in Berea, Kentucky.
But, since Kentucky usually has some of the cheapest gasoline in the country, I fully expect to be paying around two bucks before Christmas. Gas will shoot up fifty cents to a dollar on Thanksgiving and then decline until Christmas Eve, and even then the gas prices will still be relatively low in comparison to last Christmas.

Aren't you given govt. subsidies in the form of a yearly check from the socialist oil companies?
-

more or less. The yearly check's worth is determined by how much we skimmed from the oil companies on any given year (depends on how well their Alaskan operations did) and how well the various investments the gigantic fund is involved in did for that year. The check I got this year was awesome, and is going to cover all my tuition for the Spring semester, the check I'll get next year, what with the economic meltdown and the falling price of crude, might equal 40-50% of the 2 grand (almost exactly 2 grand) I got this year.
The Permanent Fund Dividend (henceforth, PFD) was started in the early 1980's as a way to benefit all Alaskans while the oil companies keep doing whatever dirty business they continue to do. And besides the money the oil companies pay to the citizens of Alaska, they also contribute the lions share of taxes collected by the State Government (we have no statewide income, sales, or property tax). For this reason, perhaps moreso then any other, Alaskan citizens are veeeeeeeery pro-development, because as soon as the tap runs dry, and we've had some lean years, the State government might actually have to start taxing its citizens, and nobody wants that.
While this sounds very socialist, well, that's because it kinda is. However, the state government continues to do very well, but the local governments usually end up pinching pennies to continue operating their schools, police departments, and other city services that they don't get a lot of help with from the state government. The sales and property taxes that you pay anywhere in Alaska goes to funding the local governments and nobody else. And thanks to the Bush administration's unfunded mandates, and reduced support to state governments, local governments here have it harder then ever.
So while we sound very socialist, in actuality, we're very conservative/Republican. Where the rich parts of the government get to keep being rich and don't have to share so much with those who don't have anything. When faced with a massive budget surplus this year, Palin decided to rebate that money back to the people of Alaska, instead of spending it on infrastructure or more sensible things then a handout. Sound familiar? (http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/tax-relief/index.html)
