Fireball Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 What is a fair price per gallon then? How much are you guys willing to pay I mean. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 What is a fair price per gallon then? How much are you guys willing to pay I mean. That really doesn't matter does it. We have to pay what they charge if we want gas, willing or not, that's the price. Quote
Fireball Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Exactly Norm, that is so true. We were complaining already when it was one third of the current price. Still driving, daily, and multiple vehicles. Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 $2.95 in Council Bluffs, Iowa this morning. FRANKIE47 Quote
steveplym Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 $2.95 in Council Bluffs, Iowa this morning.FRANKIE47 Gas here went down to $3.59. Far cry from $2.99. Hoping in the next several weeks gas will go back down. Especially when it's going to be too cold to go anywhere. Quote
JoelOkie Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 $292.9 yesterday@ Stillwater, Oklahoma Quote
Johnny S Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I paid 2.99 in Des Moines this morning and 3.45 in Ogallala Nebraska this afternoon and found it at 3.59 in Fort Collins, Colorado late this PM. Go figure! Quote
Young Ed Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Ed.....does the tank itself leak, or at the rubber hose that joins the neckto the tank? Mine seeps there if I fill it clear up to the top of the neck. Haven't been able to investigate yet but since the tank was nicely painted when I put it in about 7 years ago I believe its got to be either the rubber hose for the fill neck or the seal at the sending unit.

Johnny S Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I keep fighting the psychology that tells me that $2.99 is cheap! But I think the oil companies are winning on that one. As soon as we consider $2.99 cheap they REALLY have us! And also, consider that the drop in price from $4.00/gallon to $3.00/gallon is only a 25% drop. Then consider that the drop in price of a barrel of crude has been from a high of $148/barrel to about $95/barrel or a drop of 36% .... therefore gas "should be" at $2.56. When the price of crude is going up it doesn't seem to take very long to move the price of a gallon of gas up but when the price of crude is falling the trend down is a LOT slower it seems. Can anyone say "windfall profits?" Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Posted October 6, 2008 Today...Sunday.....down to $2.85. Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Gas hovering around $2.50 in Council Bluffs, IA. Some $2.53-$2.47 ain't life grand. I still remember when grampa Max would !@#$%^& about 30 cents a gallon. Of course 30 cents would actually get you something back in the day! Frankie Quote
WatchingWolf Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 2.99 at the only station in a 30 mile radius of here, must be about 2.85 out in the real world. Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Mr. Wolf I don't think we have a secret oil refinery in Omaha but we are probably as close as you can get to being in the middle price of the USA. I don't have a single clue as to why we are cheaper other than ethanol, or regional refineries. Just happy it is so. Mizzou always seems to be less. Frankie Quote
greg g Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 I got some for 2.98, almost fell asleep pumping 30 bucks worth. Please remember this is still about 20 to 30 cents higher than last year when a barrel of oil was about the same price as today. 10/17/07 $71.80 10/17/08 $71.85 so whats up with the extra 20 cents????? See they did it 3.00 a gallon is now comfortable (the market price is 1.65 or so ) the rest is fees taxes and profits and certainly not fo the service station. Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 When we went to california last august gas was $2.73 in Omaha and about $3.15 in California. Stay away from rte 66 they were nuts! Especially in NEEDLES, thought their gas was xtra special.Anyway gas made its way to $3.40's while we were there and the wife did'nt know how to compensate for our budget! Almost drove Esmey nuts! So any way to make a long story longer, gas peaked out in Omaha at around $3.89 this year and has gone down in trickles till lately. I suppose the gas prices will rise accordingly come turkey day. Frankie Gas in needles was $3.99 and holding. Quote
Dennis Hemingway Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Yesterday the price of gas was $3.29 in Pahrump, Nevada. $3.59 in Baker, Ca. and $3.31 here in Barstow, Ca. The price hasn't gone down as much here in the west. Dennis:mad: Quote

Frank Elder Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Bob you dog I thought you were on vacation! Thought I would help you with gas prices, can see you are on the Ball! PS Are missouri troopers still sneaky with their model changes and undercovers on the HWY? Last time I was there they had many different colors to the trooper cars. Frankie Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 $2.05 in Council Bluffs, IA. I suppose this is the prelude to Turkey day,Then it will ramp right back up all the way to Jan. 2nd. Holiday gas must be special! Quote
