Title: Got a full tank of gas for $23.00
Post by: champ007 on December 04, 2008, 06:31:28 AM
Last night when I was leaving work, it was dark, I realized that my gas light was on. I was almost completely empty and apparently did not notice the light in the day time. When gas was soaring I kept the tank full most of the time since one fill-up cost me like $55.00, but since the price has fallen I sorta quit paying attention.
Anyway, I pulled to the pump, started pumping gas while I was talking on my phone.... was a distracting chick... and then the nozel clicked. I looked and it said $22.94, so I figured the pump stopped prematurely (hate when that happens  ;D) but when I pulled the lever again it stopped immediately. I was shocked to see gas at $1.61 a gallon.

Funny thing is I got pissed because I thought to myself, did we find a major new pocket of oil in the US?? I mean wtf was all this crap when the economy headed to china?
Say what you want but I bet Exxon has another banner year for profit...... rat bastards!!  :Xo!

I filled mine up this morning for $24.00.  I was almost on E.  Feels good to not drop $50 bucks a fill up.  Why the drop?  Dunno, they would just lie to you if you asked them.

I've been under $30 lately (93 octane). The really nice part is I can go back to driving my car like I stole it.

Yes, my "scooter" with the HEMI!  O:O

Other people must know I'm the #1 PA driver because they're always waving 1 finger as I pass them. The gas crunch was really letting my fans down.

It's $1.65 around Griffin.  I read on FoxNews.com that they are saying gas could be BELOW $1/gallon by early next year.
Oil is coming down because of decreased demand in China and the US.  Oil could be below $25/barrel soon.

Unfortunately we pay so much in duty here it will never come down that much. 80% of the cost goes to government in duty and VAT. I hate this government

Gas near my house is $1.67 today, in San Francisco, and I've heard stories of $1.29 gas in the midwest (for 85 octane I suppose.)

Not that it benefits me any, I take public transit.

That's the same price it was in Maui when I was there 5 years ago. When I was there 2 years ago it was over 3.25 I believe.

Greetings: I drive a tin can on wheels (aka hyndai 2 dr accent); if a car says a lot about its owner, then I'm both petite & cheap!  It cost 10.50 to fill up about the end of the year.  I'll never see that again.  I felt like I was in a time warp circa 1979.  Only no 8 track!
