Around $2.379 in this area. I was paying about $1.20 or so when I first started driving. And that was still in this millennium! Lol
That takes my fuel cost/mi down to about 6 cents.

$ 1.86 9/10 USD per U.S. Gallon at a Kroger in Cypress, TX last night. This was 4th cheapest in the Houston Metro....3 stations tied for the cheapest at $ 1.83 9/10 USD per U.S. Gallon. MPG for the tank = 41.186570

Unreal.
$2.25 here this am. The Exxon station I frequent has closed. Its gas price sign stuck on $2.53. I wonder why? Also, I wonder when the bounce back to rising prices will happen?

I remember at one point in the last 6 1/2 years the amount my cousin, 7 to 10 miles north of San Francisco, was paying was $1.00-$1.10 or so per gallon more than I was paying here. When will prices rise again? It will be interesting to see how things play out. Heavily influenced by fracking, one has to go back to 1987 to see U.S. net crude oil and petroleum product imports at levels this low. With that, slowing demand in China and Europe, and other factors, the price of Brent crude fell over 25 percent from June to mid November. Saudi Arabia may be trying to retain market share by undercutting American producers. Saudi Arabia may be trying to make fracking unprofitable. If they could accomplish that, some rigs would go offline, supply would be reduced, and there would be room for more Saudi imports in the U.S. market. |

. I remember, in 2006, trying to find a turn that I needed to make in Camden. I stopped at a gas station to ask the clerk about the turn. He had no clue, but I did learn that he had lived there for 10 years. I eventually found the turn. It was very close by....a few blocks away. I remember shaking my head that a guy could live in a neighborhood for 10 years and know so little about the neighborhood.

I never thought I see under $2 a gallon, but it's here.
The economy has improved too, coincidence? Norton |

Here it dropped by 20cents.... From 1,60+ to 1,43+ PER LITRE. A gallon is 3,785 litres. Imagine that. Also note that the average salary is 500. Sent from my awesome Xperia Z1 C6903 using Tapatalk.

Re complaining, IMO, one of the roots of some of the ills that fester within American society is a general lack of gratitude. Sometimes this afflicts some of those who should be most grateful, who instead WHINE and COMPLAIN. I am a lifelong San Francisco 49ers AND Oakland Raiders fan. Some people are rabid fans of one, and NOT the other. Stereotypically, Raiders fans are considered more blue collar. Some rabid Raiders fans refer to 49ers fans as the 'WHINE and cheese crowd' (mocking the phrase 'wine and cheese crowd'). |

I remember thumbing through my 2007 Yaris logbook last summer and noticing that gas was under $2.00 per gallon during part of the last quarter of 2008. Of course that was soon after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, and demand was 'cratering'.

$2.099 around here. Exactly $0.10 more than when I first moved here in '05. At that time, gasoline was seeing its initial surge, it was $2.429/g when I left California a week earlier. These are the lowest prices I have seen in a good while.
It won't last. Saudi Arabia is trying to put both American frackers and ISIS black marketeers out of business. I see this lasting a year or so, two at the most. I Am enjoying the sub-six-cents-per-mile while it lasts.

When I moved here in the 80s I had an enduro motorcycle which I used to ride in what we call the Pinewoods in South Jersey towards the shore. But I worked in Camden and thought it would be adventurous to ride around the town as there are so many bombed WW2 type neighborhoods. Its a lot closer too. Big mistake! Whereas the downtown area is actually pretty safe the neighborhoods are not. The first red light I came to there were half a dozen young males hanging out there. They looked barely able to control their urge to hit me over the head and take my bike! I got out of there pronto and abandoned my adventure.
However, gangs of like 50 residents are often seen riding their (illegal) dirt bikes around the city, both two and four wheelers. They can ride for miles in wheelie fashion.
