November 1, 200817 yr Last night, I was driving home and saw some nice gas prices. I found, at a Safeway filling station, in Northern California (though not coastal), gas for $ 2.52.9 and that was prior to the 3 cent Safeway club card discount. That puts it at a hair under $2.50. That same Safeway, 6 months ago, had gone as high as $ 4.49.9. Looks like I may take a few road trips. What's happening with fuel prices in your area?
November 1, 200817 yr $1.94 Holy cow, you guys have it even better over there huh? The lowest fill up of 2008 for me was like $25 in the Mercedes and having over a half a tank since it was the Irving at $2.39. And, like Sunoco, Shell & Gulf, Irving is DOMESTIC OIL.
November 1, 200817 yr We've typically got some of the lowest gas prices in the country. In fact, southwest Missouri has an insanely low cost of living by just about any measure. But the weather is schizophrenic, jobs can be a bitch to find and culture is non-existent. Edit: Gasbuddy has one station at $1.92 and a couple at $1.93. Edited November 1, 200817 yr by Satty
November 1, 200817 yr Author 0.829$ A LITER. I love it. The math: .829 x 3.785 (liter to gallon) x 1/1.225 (current exchange) = $2.56 US a gallon. Not bad.
November 2, 200817 yr 2.42/gal at Loaf'N'Jug with the discount... According to MSN the lowest price nationally is in Sikeston, MO at 1.00/gal Edited November 2, 200817 yr by PONTIAC06
November 2, 200817 yr 0.829$ A LITER. I said I would eat my shoes if gas went to 90 cents (when it was a dollar). It dipped to 90.2, and has since gone to 91.4 in my area of Toronto. My shoes are safe for the time being.
November 2, 200817 yr Author 2.09 I see you're in Michigan. This could spawn a lot of orders for V-8 Camaros. Sidebar: will they be following with a Firebird?
November 2, 200817 yr Last I heard it was $1.97 in Des Moines (that was about a week ago). Here in Eastern Iowa it's about $2.19 for regular.
November 2, 200817 yr From a similar thread on a Malibu forum, it seems like a LOT are actually under the $2 mark. I just filled up yesterday at $2.29, and paid $2.39 to do the same Thursday at the beach before a highway trip. Probably will drop lower, in days to come, here in southern DE.
November 2, 200817 yr I see you're in Michigan. This could spawn a lot of orders for V-8 Camaros. Sidebar: will they be following with a Firebird? I'm hoping so...... No on the Bird though....it really would be cool...
November 2, 200817 yr This could spawn a lot of orders for V-8 Camaros. Really? As companies in the USA lay off millions of people?
November 2, 200817 yr Today I filled up for under $35 for the first time in a long time. $2.17 for regular and I put in about 16 gallons. It's hard to believe I was paying double that only a few months ago.

November 3, 200817 yr Really? As companies in the USA lay off millions of people? I'm not trying to think that way...or I would stop buying pretty much everything but food....
November 3, 200817 yr Author It's hard to believe I was paying double that only a few months ago. Nothing makes sense these days...and hasn't for a while.
November 3, 200817 yr Got gas in the '87 MC LS today ... $2.49 a gallon! AWESOME! He heh...just hope these lower prices don't reduce enthusiasm for alternative fuel projects.....never know when we might need that alternative fuel....

November 3, 200817 yr Author Got gas in the '87 MC LS today ... $2.49 a gallon! Road trip...road trip...
November 3, 200817 yr Really? As companies in the USA lay off millions of people? Yep... Most of your Camaro buyers will be people who have already had successful careers. Now, a year or so down the road, maybe not so much. But then again, I don't see many people springing for Saturns either.
November 4, 200817 yr Saw 2.16 down by the Burlington Bristol Bridge between NJ-PA Sat night. Diesel down to 2.99 Sunday.
November 4, 200817 yr $2.27 today, pretty much everywhere, from Millsboro to Lewes-Rehoboth Beach, DE. So, 2 cents down from the weekend.
November 6, 200817 yr $2.26/gallon. I think that's the cheapest it's been here in the Merrimack Valley since I bought my '59 Buick back in April of 2007, but I could be wrong by a few pennies. It was quite nice to pump over four gallons into the Panzer-top for just ten bucks, flash-back to June when I was driving a Cadillac that was 25% less efficient on fuel & fueling up at $4.50+ a gallon.

I fillled up the silver beast last week @ 2.69/gal, for $51 total.. I can commute for 2 weeks on a full tank, not bad.
November 6, 200817 yr Each time I drive the 500SEC I fall in love with it a little more.... what a fantastic, solid car. And to think even OIL STARVATION did not kill it, now with 199,225 miles as of this morning, I have no reason what so ever to distrust its reliability.

And to think even OIL STARVATION did not kill it, now with 199,225 miles as of this morning, I have no reason what so ever to distrust its reliability. Nice... I'm really loving the 500SEL the more I drive it...it's so solid..no squeaks and rattles at over 176k miles now. .. it's running great currently (my sister replaced a lot of things over the last 6 years). In this weather, I'm enjoying driving with the huge sunroof open and windows down. Been driving the 300CE with all the windows down occasionally also. I haven't driven my Jeep in a month...the Mercs had been sitting so much for the last year, they really needed to be driven.
November 7, 200817 yr I drove in, it was $2.34. Two were ahead of me in line. Cashier said "if you wait a minute, we're in the midst of lowering the gas prices". We waited, and paid $2.29. My "low fuel" warning came on yesterday... yet I still spent less than $30 to fill my tank for the first time in MANY a moon. Edited November 7, 200817 yr by ocnblu
November 7, 200817 yr the Mercs had been sitting so much for the last year, they really needed to be driven. Yup.... it's never a good thing when a car just sits.
