bet it will drop even more by next week!


Thanks again, Neal.

 

$3.95 in OKC. Regular 10% ethanol gas is down to $3.04. It keeps dropping but Diesel just wont follow.

 

Same here, pretty much. Gas falling 5-10 cents a day, down in the $3.24 range. Diesel hanging in the $3.79 to $3.89 range. Never really tapped $4 a gallon here, though.

I've noticed diesel does a slower up and down trending, lagging gas prices by a bit.

 

And tell me again why our fuel prices are so high. My speculation is nothing but GREED.
