Whoever thought we would think $2.00 a gallon a relief.

Didnt last long though. I dont expect to see it fall much more but and even two bucks would be nice. Im putting 80 miles a day on the Corolla commuting.

The Spokane voters approved a gas tax a couple of years ago to improve the streets. That is why gas is cheaper in the valley or out in Airway Heights. After what it seems like decades, Spokane is finally trying to keep the streets maintained. Until they repaired Maple, driving on it was like

The "problem" I have found with the gas lately is the alcohol that has been put in it. I used to be able to rely on a couple of stations near my home to have gas without alcohol mixed in it and I had no issue paying a bit more for the peace of mind it gave me with my outboard motor. However, when gas prices spiked to $4 per gallon every station seemed to have alcohol in their gas. I spoke with my regular station's attendants and they don't believe it will ever change back. I guess big oil just can't help themselves when it comes to screwing the general public.

The Q3 earning by exxon mobile was only 14.8 Billion with a nine month net of 37.4 Billion. And that doesnt include the other oil companies.

I'm still paying well over $3 a gallon. I think it's around $3.30 or so now for the 87 grade stuff, unfortunately I need to put in the expensive stuff, so that tacks on another $.30 cents...So ya, $3.50 a gallon + is what I'm still dealing with....

Retail prices should be falling fairly fast. The wholesale price (what the gas stations pay) for gas is well below $2.00/gallon.

Our gas tax is killer. My father-in-law in Kansas pays .50 less/gallon. Of course, the down side is he lives in Kansas.  www.KansasFlatLand.com

$2.26 around here on the Reservation for Shell gas. And this has been going down about .04 every couple of days.
I'm loving it! I actually drive a ton around the county and wait to fill up tell I get out there. Great relief for sure. I just can't wait to see that $1-something price.
