Gas under $2 a gallon

[cynatnite]

Am I just dreaming here? Will we ever see it again?

[merwin]

1. I remember just 10 years ago when gas was under $1

Gotta love it when gas prices double every 4 years

[NinetySix]

10. In the Spring of 1999

I was paying 74 cents a gallon in the Southeast. Just last week, gas prices were around $2.15 per gallon. That's almost triple in only six years.

14. 2.19 here in E. TN

I'm getting settled into the idea of never seeing it again, but the prospect of going over $3 scares the hell out of me. We've cut back as it is. I do as little driving as possible these days.

on edit: How high will it have to get in order for more people to reconsider their driving habits?

2. You're dreaming. Sorry. Those days are gone forever.

3. Here.

4. Is it a dream or a nightmare? n/t

[Pam-Moby]

6. Wake me up when its over. The nightmare that is. n/t

[tyedyeto]

8. Wishing I could say it's all been a nightmare

but those of us here know better.

5. Don't get too use to gas under $3.00.

It's going to get worse.

[marions ghost]

7. No

at least that's what someone who works for the DOE told me.

9. WHERE????

I paid $ 2.25 a gallon today.

Premium (does anyone even buy that???) is $ 2.40-2.45.

Whew.

[Incitatus]

11. $2

Enjoy it while you can, cause it's about to


I saw hummer with a yellow ribbon today.
Is it just me or... ?

12. Just before the 2006 elections I'll bet. nt

13. It MUST Have Really Happened!

15. Paying 2.65 here in El Segundo, CA....

with a refinery right down the street. How long will it take to reach $3, is the better question. Surely we will be the first here.

[FloridaPat]

16. Lowest I ever paid was 25 cents. There was a gas price war in the

early 70's.

[tritsofme]

17. They want us to be delighted to pay $1.99

Like its a special treat.

That's what I've been saying for awhile now.

[cynatnite]

23. You're right

My mother keeps hoping for that price. We had it not too long ago and she filled up her gas guzzling SUV

I quit telling her she needs to trade the beast in for something more affordable.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. I have seen 1.89 for premium in the OC.

No freeper EVER utters a discouraging word about the price of gas, it's amazing how brainwashed those goofs are!

[cubschicago]

19. I paid under a $1 for gas just five years ago.

[friesianrider]

20. When I got my driver's license almost 7 years ago...

I remember my friends and I saying "OMFG...OVER ONE DOLLAR A GALLON, WHAT IS NEXT??!!!!"

Today I drove 4 miles out of my way for regular gas at $2.13. So I'd say no, we will never see gas under $2 a gallon again.

[kestrel91316]

21. Not in my neck of the woods ................

lowest I can find in San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles is $2.49. I predict $3 by Labor Day and never again under $2.

[conflictgirl]

22. Ha ha ha ha ha. I'm not thinking so.

I do remember when I lived in Texas just 4 years ago, I could still get a gallon of regular unleaded for 99 cents a gallon. Ah, the good old days.

It's up around $2.40/gal here in Michigan right now.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. No. But that SUV will make a lovely lawn ornament.

(What? You mean this black goo that we pump out of the ground isn't an infinite, ever-replenishing resource? Fuck! No one ever told us THAT!!!)

On the plus side, filling up one of these is remarkably reasonable:

25. Maybe in Venezuela. n/t

[ObaMania]

26. You're dreaming.

.. matter of fact, the retard * said in NC on Friday(?) that prices will not go down. This was while he was talking about alternative fuels.

What a fu@king moran.
